Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday. Here’s some encouragement for your week. I remember my grandma telling me when I was young to “Slow down. You’re moving too fast.” And she was correct … then and now. (Though these days, it’s more that I need to slow my mind down vs. my body.) However, […]
Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. As we get older, life’s problems seem to compound, getting bigger and scarier as we go through life. Looking back on childhood, things seemed so much easier. There may have even been someone you could turn to who always made […]
Hope-Filled Sunday! Brokenhearted. That may sum up the day, and the past week, for some people. Today is the anniversary of the September 11th attacks—a day that impacted people all around the world. And a few days ago, Queen Elizabeth II died, and that will likely be viewed as another day […]

Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. We all know how important sleep is. And when you live with chronic pain and illness, it’s even more important, as lack of sleep can fuel our issues. Sadly, I can’t even begin to remember the last time I slept soundly. Every […]
Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. Do you ever lay awake questioning every decision you’ve made over the course of the day, week, month, or year? Please tell me you can relate and that I’m not the only one who engages in this pointless activity. In these […]
Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. “I can do it myself!” I don’t know about you, but I say this to myself regularly (perhaps multiple times a day). It’s difficult for me to ask for help, and in many cases, it’s just easier to do something on […]
Hope-Filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. This past week has been a challenging one for me, and perhaps it has been for you, as well. There were more downs than ups. Some days, it was difficult to find something positive to focus on. Through it all, I […]
