Adventure is not just about trying something new it’s about letting go of what it is going to look like. It’s letting go of the results. What If I try this and I fail? What If I can’t do It? What If I look stupid and It’s embarrassing?

Today I had the absolute pleasure of kayaking for the first time in my life! I am 53 and have never felt brave enough to try it and possibly look stupid or fail at it.
This Is my friend and colleague Mary Kathleen and today she helped me overcome my limiting belief that I have to be good at something to enjoy doing It or to even try it!
You see my fear of not being good enough has sopped me from trying new things.

Here at The Forgiveness Connection, LLC we specialize In helping you Identify and overcome limiting beliefs.
What do you currently believe that Is holding you back from adventure and living your best life?
Call us today to schedule your first session.

Struggling with Hashimoto’s? Food Enzyme Therapy can support your healing journey.

Many with Hashimoto’s suffer from chronic fatigue, bloating, and brain fog. Diet alone often isn’t enough to ease discomfort. Here’s how targeted food enzymes help restore balance:

1. Supports Thyroid Conversion
Enzymes help improve liver and gut function. These are the two key players in converting inactive T4 into active T3.

2. Reduces Inflammation
By aiding complete digestion, enzymes lower undigested food particles that trigger autoimmune flare-ups.

3. Eases Digestive Distress
Hashimoto’s often comes with sluggish digestion. Enzymes help break down proteins, fats, and carbs, reducing bloating and constipation.

4. Boosts Nutrient Absorption
People with Hashimoto’s are often deficient in selenium, zinc, B12, and iron. Enzymes help unlock these nutrients for better absorption.

5. Enhances Gut Health
Since 70%+ of your immune system lives in the gut, enzyme therapy helps restore microbiome balance, key for calming autoimmune reactions.

At Better Days Center, we use targeted enzyme therapy to bring relief, clarity, and energy back to our clients’ lives.

Ready to explore a natural, effective way to support your thyroid and gut? Let’s talk.

“Letting Go” is a phrase we use in the office. It is not as easy as you may think. It’s a statement of congruency. Your mind is what you think about something. Your body tells us what you feel. They do not always agree with one another. They are not always congruent. Why? Because your mind/brain is constantly keeping you safe and if something looks like danger it goes on high alert to protect you.

This Is a picture of me dropping my son off at camp this morning . I trust him. I trust the staff. Most importantly I trust God! Yet that little feeling In my gut tried to tell me “danger! He may not be safe” He has experienced a life threatening allergic reaction before. My mind still remembers and my body wanted to make sure as his mom, I keep him safe. Here’s the truth….I cannot always keep him safe. I have to trust God!

Here at The Forgiveness Connection, LLC we specialize in helping you learn to calm your nervous system and rewire your brain in a good way. Are you ready to learn the reasons why you have to control everyone and everything around you? It Is a trauma response and It Is hurting you and the people you love the most.

💔 Widowed? Here’s the Advice No One Tells You (But You Desperately Need to Hear)

When your world changes in a moment, there’s no guidebook for what comes next. At Voyage Financial, we walk beside widows every day—and we’ve seen what most checklists, articles, and even well-meaning friends leave out.

Here’s the real advice—the kind you wish someone had whispered in your ear when the paperwork started piling up and your heart was still shattered:

📝 1. Don’t rush big financial decisions.
Banks and insurance companies will pressure you. Well-meaning relatives will urge you to sell the house, cash out policies, or invest your inheritance.
Pause. Breathe. Wait.
Grief changes your brain, and what feels right today might not feel right in six months. You can delay decisions until you're steady.

📂 2. Get organized before you get overwhelmed.
Instead of trying to tackle everything at once, create two folders:

“Urgent” – things like death certificates, mortgage payments, and utility bills

“Can Wait” – investments, home sales, Social Security decisions, etc.
This system helps you take action without emotional burnout.

💰 3. You might be entitled to benefits no one has mentioned.
Many widows don’t realize they may qualify for:

Survivor Social Security benefits (even if you’re under retirement age)

Pensions from past employers

Military spousal benefits

Even backdated tax refunds or life insurance payouts they never knew existed

A good financial advisor will help you uncover every option—not just sell you a product.

💬 4. You need a team—not a transaction.
If your advisor can’t explain things in plain English or makes you feel rushed, ignored, or small... walk away.
You deserve someone who will sit with your grief and your spreadsheets. Who understands that rebuilding your finances is also about rebuilding your life.

🌱 5. Healing and financial planning go hand-in-hand.
Widowhood is more than managing money—it’s rediscovering your voice, your confidence, and your future.
At Voyage Financial, we believe empathy should be part of your portfolio.

We’re here to help you take the next step—with clarity, not pressure.

👉 Ready for a conversation that starts with listening?

You don’t have to do this alone.

5 Lies That Damage Your Emotional Health (And what to do when they creep into your head)

1-“I’m not enough.”
Truth: You are inherently valuable,your worth isn’t defined by productivity or perfection.

Affirmation: “I am growing, and that is enough.”

2-“I have to do it all alone.”
Truth: Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Try this: Reach out. Community heals.

3-“If I ignore it, it’ll go away.”
Truth: Suppressed emotions grow louder over time.

Tip: Acknowledge your feelings—your body and mind will thank you.

4-“I shouldn’t feel this way.”
Truth: All emotions are valid signals, not moral failures.

Practice: Let yourself feel without judgment.

5-“I’ll never change.”
Truth: Healing is possible, your past doesn’t define your future.

Encouragement: Transformation begins with one brave step.

At Better Days Center, we help you replace lies with truth,emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

You don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Healing starts here.

MEN! We could all use a refresher on solid ways to make our relationships stronger. Even the best of us slip up and over time that slide can really begin to weigh down the connection with the women who mean the most to us.

These suggestions may sound simple, but ask yourself if you are really doing these 11 things consistently and if not, why not?

1-Listen first, fix later
Often, she just wants to be heard, not to have every problem solved. Listen to understand, not respond.

2-Say “thank you” daily
Genuine appreciation trumps grand gestures.

3-Honor small talk
It’s the thread that weaves emotional connection.

4-Make space for each other
Independence fuels a stronger bond.

5-Accept different thinking styles
Talk vs. silent reflection, they’re both valid.

6-Prioritize emotional intimacy
Stop saying “I’m fine” and be vulnerable, invite connection.

7-Use “mmmhmm” and “I hear you”
Verbal cues show you’re truly present.

8-Choose understanding over winning
Arguments aren’t battles; they’re opportunities to reinforce shared goals & values. No-one wins if someone loses. A shared resolution is the only true victory.

9-Keep dating your partner
Little moments matter: a walk, a note, a shared coffee.

10-Make her feel emotionally safe
No sarcasm. No belittling. Just trust through intentional & positive engagement.

11-Support her journey
Your encouragement helps her bloom and so does your relationship.

These aren’t overnight changes, they’re daily habits rooted in patience, curiosity & growth. And you don’t need 40 years to start; you can begin today!

Looking to build stronger connections? We’d love to work with you and your spouse or partner to help you create the bonds you envision. Send us a PM or reach out through our website at www.visitbetterdayscenter.com

Mercy by definition is “compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm”.

Definitions matter however this is what mercy looks like! Are you offering mercy today?
Mercy towards others?
Mercy towards yourself?

Here at The Forgiveness Connection, LLC we help you examine the pain in your life and offer mercy, grace and forgiveness. It’s not easy work so please do not call if you are not seriously seeking change because change does not start with the others….Change starts with YOU!

Are you ready? Pray about it first and call me. I want to help. (843)708-9764

“What you believe about God changes your brain. And what changes your brain, changes everything.”

That line from The God-Shaped Brain by Dr. Timothy R. Jennings didn’t just land in my head—it settled in my spirit.

This isn’t just a book about faith or science—it’s about how deeply intertwined the two really are. Jennings, a psychiatrist and believer, shows how our picture of God literally reshapes the brain’s wiring—for better or for worse. And let me tell you, it made me pause. Reflect. Rebuild.

Reading this felt like having someone gently open your mind and heart at the same time. It’s honest, compassionate, and grounded in both neuroscience and grace.

Here are the soul-awakening truths that stayed with me:

Fear-based religion changes the brain for the worse.
When we view God as angry, punishing, or distant, it wires our brains for anxiety, shame, and defensiveness. I saw how much of my early faith was rooted in fear—and how it kept me small, scared, and stuck.

Love-based belief heals.
Seeing God as kind, patient, forgiving—love itself—activates brain circuits associated with peace, empathy, and joy. That truth felt like an exhale. I realized: changing my view of God could change my mental health.

What you worship, you become like.
If you believe in a cruel God, you’re more likely to become judgmental and rigid. But if you see God as merciful and restorative, you reflect that. It’s not just theology—it’s neuroplasticity.

Spiritual growth is brain growth.
The more we meditate on love, truth, and grace, the more our brains rewire toward compassion, trust, and resilience. Faith isn’t just belief—it’s transformation, at a cellular level.

Healing starts with a new picture of God.
I didn’t need to work harder, believe more, or fear less. I just needed to look at God differently—more honestly, more lovingly. That shift began to unlock peace I hadn’t known in years.

The God-Shaped Brain doesn’t try to scare you into belief.
It invites you into a deeper love—
the kind that frees your mind,
softens your heart,
and rewrites the story you tell yourself about who God is—
and who you are because of it.
