Many adults engage in a form of bullying; they bring it to places that are meant to be positive and uplifting. The type of bullying I’m referring to is gossiping. They could be using that time to express appreciation for their many blessings, and to uplift each other. If less time was spent dwelling on […]
You Are Up for the Challenge–You Are a Winner
Many challenges in our lives have proven to be bigger than we may have envisioned them to be. The challenges that we encounter do not always reveal the rewards at the onset, so we become fearful. I am sure that if the prize was immediately known, we would move forward, fearlessly. Sometimes we take on […]
Life’s Challenges Serve as Building Blocks to Growth and Success
Sometimes we place obstacles in our own path. Is that our way of avoiding pending challenges? Challenges condition us—mentally and physically. They give us a chance to tap into the reserve of strength that reveals itself when all other options have been exhausted. The road to success may have various obstacles, but we can maneuver […]
By Grace, We are Given Another Chance
Grace is defined as: (Christian theology) the free and unmerited favor of God. Through grace, we are allowed to change the course of a destructive life-style.

Every now and then we need to […]
Use Gratitude and Appreciation to Power Your Life
Some of us spend a lot of time and effort focusing on what is wrong in our lives. Somehow we have arrived at the conclusion that the other guy has it all. All of what? We don’t know the answer; it just makes for a good defense when someone actually pauses long enough to listen to our […]
Reach Out Anyway
Reaching out to others could project you beyond your emotional comfort zone, thus, opening the possibility for rejection–or for an experience that might turn your life around and give you a better prospective. Some of us have the desire to reach out, but are waiting for someone else to take the first step. We sometimes […]
Having an Appreciative Attitude is an Asset
Being grateful and thankful means having an appreciation for all of life’s gifts, including good health, well being, and talents. As well, I know that sincere expressions of gratitude and appreciation attract more things to be thankful for. When I feel grateful and appreciative of the things that are important in life, I am better […]
