Do you find yourself stuck and unable to take that big leap toward your goal? A tiny move in the right direction might be all it takes to start real gains. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Read more on my blog, link in my profile above.
Planning your time in line with your vision and goals is like budgeting your money. It frees you to be your best! Using 90-day planning has changed my life. You can get the details in my blog (link in my profile above).
Life isn't easy. Sometimes it's downright hard. Heartbreaking. Today I want you to know that you can find hope, even on the darkest of days. Let me share my story with you. http://ow.ly/FEu530rwnEZ
A fun #ThrowbackThursday post from 2013. I am an early riser, and a courteous one, sharing a hotel room with a colleague just after Daylight Saving Time began.

Ever feel as if you're offering your heart on a platter through writing or other talents? It's worse -- more like offering your heart in a glass at a wine-tasting. But it's not all bad. http://ow.ly/NTyr30rvfu2 #writinglife #Christianity #growth
I thought the "we" was a typo. Except it was handwritten -- in my journal. I was conversing with God, who was reminding me that while He calls the "tired and heavy laden" it's to give them His yoke. A yoke intended for labor, yes? But there's room for two. I don't labor alone.

So it poured rain the day of commencement, which meant it was a bad hair day. But it was a great day with my new, old friends anyway!

(When you're not great at shooting selfies while driving, transform them into sketches.... ) While I did ask my son how I looked before I left for my first day on the job, I didn't think about shooting a photo -- until I reached my first STOP sign. I look more happy than anxious. :)
