This was not always the way I lived as a business owner or a woman but the last few years have given me such a different point of view.

I realize that He’s set me apart for a reason and I’m
learning to trust Him more and more every day.

It is my prayer that my life reflects His love and mercy, not chaos or confusion.

If it’s from God, it will come with peace and clarity, not chaos and confusion. God is not a God of disorder or anxiety. His voice does not rush, pressure, or overwhelm the heart. While His guidance may sometimes lead us into challenging or unfamiliar territory, it will never leave us tangled in fear or frantic confusion. God’s direction brings a steady sense of assurance, even when the path requires courage.

Peace does not mean the absence of difficulty. God may call you to take steps that stretch your faith or require sacrifice. But even in those moments, there is an underlying calm—a quiet confidence that you are being led rather than pushed. This peace acts as a compass, helping you discern whether something aligns with God’s will or with your own fear, impatience, or desire for control.

Clarity is another hallmark of God’s guidance. It does not always come all at once, but it comes progressively. God reveals what you need to know for the next step, not necessarily the entire journey. He values trust over certainty. When something is from God, it may still involve waiting, but it will not leave your heart constantly unsettled or torn in opposing directions. God’s truth brings understanding, not mental turmoil.

Chaos and confusion often arise when decisions are driven by fear, comparison, or urgency rather than prayer and trust. These emotions cloud judgment and create noise that drowns out God’s gentle voice. Confusion pressures you to act quickly, to grasp for certainty, or to force outcomes. God’s guidance invites patience. He allows space for reflection, prayer, and peace to settle before action is taken.

If something consistently brings anxiety, restlessness, or inner conflict, it is worth pausing and seeking God more deeply. God does not manipulate or coerce. He leads with love and wisdom. His direction aligns your heart rather than divides it. Even when others may not understand your choice, God’s peace provides confirmation that you are walking in step with Him.

Learning to recognize God’s peace takes practice. It grows as you spend time in prayer, Scripture, and stillness. Over time, you become more sensitive to the difference between God’s leading and emotional impulse. God’s peace becomes familiar—a steady presence that guides your decisions and anchors your heart.

If it’s from God, it will come with peace and clarity because His intentions are rooted in love. He does not desire confusion for His children. He desires trust, obedience, and relationship. When you follow His voice, even uncertain paths become manageable because His peace walks with you.

Let peace be your guide. Let clarity confirm your steps. When God is leading, you may not have every answer, but you will have assurance. And that assurance is often the clearest sign that what lies before you is truly from Him.

Yesterday I was hugged.

My heart is so full.

The first was from a first time client that came out after her 2 hour session with the biggest smile and blissful expression.

She walked up to me and said,” oh, that was amazing,” and wrapped me in a tight hug.

We held each other then I handed her a small gift bag and she hugged me again.

The next was a man that I used to work and hadn’t seen in over ten years.

He found my website and said,”I had to come see you- you’re the only one strong enough to do the deep work I want.”

It was so good to see him again and catch up on life.

He hugged me tight and booked for his next session in 5 days.

Then came my last client of the day- opening his arms to me and we embrace and the comfort of knowing each other holds us both.

He’s been coming to get massages every other Fridayday since 2009.

He’s became a friend, a trusted soul, and a gift giver that surprised me with a little bear with a scarf this time.

This is what I was created for. Each person that chooses to come here is a gift from God.

I am blessed.

Come get a hug

I get asked all the time if my deafness hurts my business and honestly. in many ways it actually helps.
I have a stronger sense of intuition, a deep empathy and an ability to create a connection with clients.

What hurts is the struggle to participate in group events to marker my business and build relationships with other small business owners.

But one-on-one is what I’m really all about… so i listen with my heart.

I have a rare 3 pm opening this afternoon.

When I don’t know what to do, I pray. When I do know what to do, I pray.

There were no clear answers in front of her, no obvious next steps, no confidence that she was choosing the right path. Her thoughts were crowded, her heart was tired, and every option felt heavy with consequence. She had reached the point where effort, logic, and planning could take her no further. So she did the only thing she knew how to do—she turned toward God.

Her prayer wasn’t polished or certain. It wasn’t full of bold faith or perfect words. It was honest. It carried confusion, fear, hope, and exhaustion all at once. It sounded like help, like I don’t know, like please be near. She didn’t pray because she felt strong—she prayed because she felt small.

And in that moment, prayer wasn’t a last resort. It was surrender.

She placed what she couldn’t fix into hands she trusted more than her own. She stopped trying to control the outcome and chose instead to be present, vulnerable, and open. She prayed not knowing how things would change, but believing that she didn’t have to face the unknown alone.

Sometimes prayer begins not with certainty, but with humility. Not with answers, but with trust. She didn’t know what to do. So she prayed—and that was enough to begin.

This passage from Youversion is so encouraging that I had to share.

“Transformation

Do you want to be new?

All around the world, humans long for change. We long to throw off old habits and ways of thinking if they aren’t serving us anymore. Thousands of self-help books, podcasts, articles, and all kinds of media exist for this very reason. We want to change! And yet, it can feel impossible. Paul, one of Jesus’ disciples, shares this powerful truth in Romans 12:2 (NIV):

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Transformed by the renewing of our minds. What does this mean?

Transformation is a massive change. It’s thorough. Complete. A total difference. Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, transformation brings an end to the old and a beginning to the new.

Paul is showing us that transformation isn’t work we do from the outside in. Transformation happens from the inside out. It begins with our mind. And for our minds to change, we need Truth to grab hold of.

God’s Word is this Truth.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God…”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 NIV

“... Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4 NIV

God’s Word guides us when we are lost, strengthens us when we are weary, challenges us when we are compromising, and encourages us when we are overwhelmed. God’s Word changes everything.

And this very moment, you hold God’s Word in your hand. Transformation is in your grasp. Read the Bible closely, dig into its verses, wrestle with its teachings, and treasure what you discover about the love and grace of God.

The best place to bring your desire for newness is to God and His Word. God’s Word renews our minds. Transformation begins here.”

This is so true.

GOD REMOVES TO REPLACE. That truth can be hard to accept when you’re standing in the middle of loss, change, or uncertainty. Removal rarely feels gentle. It often feels abrupt, confusing, and painful. When something is taken away — a relationship, a season, a dream, a role, a sense of familiarity — the first reaction is usually grief, not gratitude. But God does not remove without intention. He does not strip away without purpose. He is always working toward restoration, even when it looks like subtraction.

God will never take away something in your life without the intention of replacing it with something much better. Better doesn’t always mean easier. Better doesn’t always mean faster. Better often means deeper, healthier, stronger, and more aligned with who you are becoming. God sees what you cannot see. He knows when something has reached its limit, when it can no longer grow, and when holding onto it would eventually harm you.

Pruning is never comfortable. In pruning, God cuts away what once produced fruit but can no longer sustain future growth. That’s what makes it so painful — it wasn’t always bad. It once mattered. It once worked. But seasons change, and what served you before may not serve you where God is leading you next. Trusting God in the pruning means believing that He knows exactly what needs to be removed for new life to emerge.

God’s pruning is not punishment. It is preparation. He removes distractions so focus can grow. He removes dependence on people so trust in Him can deepen. He removes comfort so character can strengthen. What feels like loss is often God protecting you from stagnation.

Trust Him in the pruning — when things are cut away and you don’t yet understand why. When the silence feels loud. When the space feels empty. That space is not wasted. It is being cleared for something new to take root. God does not leave voids; He creates room.

Trust Him even more in the transition. Transitions are the in-between seasons — when what was is gone, but what will be hasn’t fully arrived. These seasons can feel unstable and disorienting. You may question yourself, your direction, and even God’s plan. But transitions are holy ground. They are where faith is refined and dependence is strengthened.

In transition, God is reshaping you. He is teaching you to walk without leaning on old supports. He is stretching your trust beyond familiarity. He is aligning your heart with His timing. Just because things feel unsettled doesn’t mean God is unsure. He is intentional in every step.

What God replaces things with is often far greater than what was removed — not always in appearance, but in impact. Healthier relationships. Deeper peace. Clearer purpose. Stronger faith. Greater freedom. You may not recognize it immediately, but one day you will look back and realize that what you lost made room for what you needed.

God is a redeemer, not a destroyer. He takes what feels like an ending and turns it into a beginning. He takes what feels like loss and turns it into alignment. He takes what feels like pruning and turns it into growth.

Let go without bitterness. Release without fear. Surrender without resentment. God knows exactly what He is doing, even when you don’t. The same hands that remove are the hands that restore. The same God who allows change is the God who brings renewal.

So trust God in the pruning — when things are taken away.
Trust Him more in the transition — when the future feels unclear.

Because God removes to replace.
And what He is preparing will be far better than what He removed —
not just for where you’ve been, but for where He is taking you next.

You are seen.

God has the most beautiful, powerful ability to take the little we offer Him in obedience and magnify it for His glory in a big way.

I also know when we feel unseen, unheard, and unnoticed, it can be incredibly hard to muster up encouragement for others. But no matter what we may be facing, we have an opportunity not to overlook the small, mustard-seed opportunities where we can invest in others — in heaven — today.

Here’s what I want you to try with me:

1. If you feel unseen, help one person feel seen by reminding her how uniquely beautiful and gifted she is today.

2. If you feel unheard, help one person feel heard by holding space to listen when she’s speaking to you, and prayerfully ask God how you can encourage her.

3. If you feel unnoticed, help one person feel noticed by honoring the amazing little things she does every single day.

Why? Because as we purposefully ease the ache in others, we will see it is beautifully eased in us. The unseen ache. The unheard ache. The unnoticed ache. We want to live in a better world, right? Let’s make a decision today to contribute to making it better. Let’s bring heaven to earth with the loving words we say and the moments we cultivate.

It doesn’t have to be big to be significant. We can show up, listen, and lean in. We can pray. We don’t have to push or prove or earn anything. We can plan something joyful. We can plan moments that matter. We can plan to do something for another person that will simply be kind and honor God.

So let’s start with the people right in front of us today. And watch how God turns something small into something big and beautiful in His timing.

-Lysa TerKeurst

Take a moment and ask the Lord to put one person on your heart so you can reach out to them. Also spend a few moments praying for this friend, asking for God’s wisdom and direction to guide their life.

As a therapist, this explains my work beautifully.

As a client myself, this is what I seek to receive.

Lately, the word somatic seems to be everywhere. It’s being used in captions, course titles, and conversations so often that it can feel like just another passing trend in the wellness world. But somatic work is not new, and it is certainly not a buzzword. For me, it is a remembering. Long before it had a name, the body already knew how to communicate through sensation, rhythm, and response. Somatic work brings us back to that language, inviting us to listen beneath the noise and honor the intelligence that has always lived within the body itself.

So, if you will indulge me with a few moments of your precious time, I would love to share the meaning behind this word.

Somatic work is the art of listening with the hands. It is an invitation for the body to speak in its own language, one that lives beneath words and stories. Rather than asking the body to perform or correct itself, somatic work creates a space where sensation becomes the guide and awareness becomes the medicine. We slow down enough to feel the subtle tides beneath the skin, the places where the body learned to brace, adapt, or go quiet in order to survive.

In this work, nothing is forced. The nervous system is met with patience, curiosity, and respect. As safety is reintroduced, tissues soften, breath deepens, and the body begins to remember its own rhythm. Movement returns not because it was demanded, but because it was invited.

Somatic work honors the body as an intelligent, living landscape. Every sensation is information. Every pause is meaningful. Healing unfolds not by fixing what is broken, but by restoring relationships, helping the body feel seen, heard, and safe enough to release what it has been holding.

Somatic awareness is what transforms technique into art. When we weave somatic principles into bodywork, our hands stop leading and begin listening. Each stroke, hold, and pause becomes a conversation with the nervous system, guided by breath, sensation, and subtle shifts rather than force or expectation. It is where skill meets presence, where science meets intuition, and where the body is given the space it needs to reorganize, release, and remember its own capacity for healing.

“ Repetition isn’t weakness, it’s persistence.”

One of the things I do is pray for each client as I work on them. I don’t have to know what to pray for, God knows every detail of their story. I get to pray and that is a honor and a choice to give thanks for them and to ask for their protection and provision and peace.

Her prayers are not casual words spoken out of habit. They are intentional, deeply personal, and often whispered in moments when no one else is watching. She carries your name in her heart, lifting it up with sincerity, hope, and trust. Prayer is her quiet form of battle — not loud, not aggressive, but powerful in ways that cannot always be seen immediately.

A woman of faith prays when she cannot fix things herself. When advice feels insufficient and solutions feel limited, she turns to God. She understands that some battles are too heavy for human strength alone. So she places them where they belong — in God’s hands. That act alone is courage.

She prays with compassion, not judgment. She sees your struggles without trying to control your journey. She asks God to protect you, guide you, strengthen you, and bring peace where chaos tries to settle. Her prayers are not about changing you for her benefit, but about covering you in grace and wisdom.

Often, she prays silently. You may never know how many times she’s mentioned your name in moments of stillness. You may never realize how many sleepless nights included prayers spoken through tears. A woman of faith understands the weight of intercession. She knows that prayer is not passive — it is active love.

She fights by trusting God with outcomes she cannot guarantee. By releasing fear instead of letting it consume her. By choosing faith over control. She believes that God is working even when there is no immediate evidence. Her prayers are rooted in hope, not desperation.

A woman of faith also prays for herself while praying for you. She asks for discernment, patience, and strength to continue believing. She knows that loving someone through prayer requires endurance. It requires humility and surrender. It requires trusting God even when the process is uncomfortable.

Her prayers don’t always sound poetic. Sometimes they are simple, honest, and raw. Sometimes they are repeated again and again because the situation hasn’t changed yet. God hears them all. Repetition is not weakness; it is persistence.

When a woman of faith prays for you, she is standing in the gap between what is and what could be. She is believing on your behalf when your own faith feels weak. She is asking God to move in ways that go beyond her understanding. She is choosing hope when it would be easier to walk away.

Prayer is her way of protecting you from harm you may never see. Of asking God to close doors that would hurt you and open ones that would lead you closer to peace. It is her way of loving you without controlling you, supporting you without suffocating you.

One day, you may look back and realize that some of the strength you found wasn’t your own. That some of the peace you felt came from prayers spoken when you weren’t aware of them. That some of the breakthroughs you experienced were preceded by quiet faith.

When a woman of faith prays for you, she’s fighting for you the best way she knows how — with trust, perseverance, and love placed fully in God’s hands.
