I wish fairy tales came with labels, warning, disclaimers of some sort before we get swept away by Prince Charmings and Happily Ever After Endings. One such as “real love is not how it appears on this screen” or “don’t forget that this is just a made up story.” I have nothing against Prince Charming. […] Read more…
“My neighbor is better off than me”
It’s funny how you can be excited about the new car that you just bought…until you look at your neighbor’s driveway and see that his is better. It’s funny how you can be grateful for the job that you have…until you talk to your neighbor about his job and see that his pay is better. […] Read more…
On your deathbed {what will matter?}
We live in a world of “here and now” and sometimes we forget that there is a bigger picture. A greater purpose. A specific reason for every single beat of our heart. We focus so much on the external, temporary things of life and get caught up in worldly pursuits that we forget the reason […] Read more…
“I’m not the person I want to be”
Can I be really honest with all of you? Sometimes I really don’t like myself. I wake up in the morning and I don’t like the reflection of the girl I see in the mirror. Not because I’m having a bad hair day (although that may be the case at times) but because I’m far […] Read more…
When you have too much on your plate
We live in a fast-paced world. A world that thrives on getting things done as quick as possible. We run around from one activity to another. Fill our planners with things to do until there is no time left in our day. Keep ourselves on a constant treadmill without taking any time to get off […] Read more…
Deciding how your story will end…
You didn’t get to choose what country you were born in. You didn’t get to choose your background. You didn’t get to choose the family that raised you. You didn’t even get to choose your name. You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…
Searching for “something more”
I will be happy when… I marry the man of my dreams. I can afford to buy that Lamborghini. I live in that big house with a white picket fence. I get my dream job. I check everything off my bucket list. I have that important title I’ve been climbing up the corporate ladder for. […] Read more…
You Will Fail
I hate to break it to you, especially this early in the day but you’re going to fail in life. Very encouraging, I know. But please keep on reading. It’ll get better, I promise. 😉 So many of us are scared of that word: failure. The likelihood that we will not succeed at something. It’s […] Read more…
“I’d rather live for myself”
Sometimes I wonder… What if Mary said she couldn’t give birth to Jesus because the possible judgment and ridicule she’d have to face would be too much for her to bear? What if Moses said he wouldn’t lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the Promised Land because he wasn’t eloquent with his words and […] Read more…
When your problems seem too big
We all have them. Problems that seem larger than life. Issues that we must wake up to every day. Battles we must fight. Difficult choices to make. And what determines whether or not you will face defeat or have victory in the end? It’s one thing really. It’s not the size of your problem. It’s […] Read more…
