Episode 63 - Joy: Better Than Happy

12/22/21 Hello friends and Merry Christmas! I do pray you are surrounded by so much love this season! I’m going to keep this short because Christmas is just a few days away you and you, if you’re like me, you might stilI need to pick up a thing or two. Welcome to Episode number 63 - Joy: Better Than Happy. So, I’m just going to jump right in and recognize that if you’ve experienced any form of loss, you may be experiencing grief such that you feel the weight of what might bes

Episode 62 - Happier Holidays

12/15/21 So last year I recorded two podcasts with a focus on the holidays called So You’ll Know…during The Holidays and So You’ll Know…The Gift Of Presence. . These titled “So You’ll Know” were bonus episodes that were intended to help people know how to help someone who has lost a loved one. I talked about what to say, or not to say; what to do, or not do. And basically the idea was to just give some tips on how to navigate through the difficult and sometimes awkward situat

Episode 61 - What If...

12/8/21 Hello friends! I’m so excited to talk to you today about “What ifs”. But I’ve also got a really exciting thing I’m going to be offering in the new year, so stick around to the end to hear more about it. I think it’ll be so helpful for so many people - and I can’t wait to help more people! Okay, so welcome to episode number 61 - What if… I don’t think I know a single person who hasn’t - at one point or another - run a thousand scenarios through their brain about someth

Episode 60 - Control Freak or Vulnerably Weak?

12/3/21 Hey, okay, right off the bat, if you’re a control freak (and you know it if you are) let’s just get the hard truth out there: You are not in control of the world. In control of your circumstances, the people you interact with on a daily basis, or even the majority of your life. You can have self-control over your thoughts, and your actions, your words, and even your emotions. But you are not in control of other people or external factors or events. You weren’t in cont

Episode 59 - Thankfulness In The Midst Of Suffering

11/24/21 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I struggled with wanting to put out a message to “other people” about how to care for the broken and the sorrowful this holiday season. But I’ve already covered that in a bonus episode called So You’ll Know…During The Holidays. The “So You’ll Know” episodes are for those of you who are wanted to know how to care for someone who has had a loved one who has passed away. I talk about what to say, or not to say; what to do, or not do. And just g

Episode 58 - An Unexpected Gift

11/17/21 This month of November has been a month of gratitude. And I’ve tried to post something I’m grateful for each day on social media. But I knew the most important thing was just making sure I was thankful every day. As I was thinking about what I was grateful for today, I was sitting out back on my patio, listening to the sweet sound of the windchimes being blown about gently in this fall weather, watching the Blue Jays chase each other as they move together in a pack f

Episode 57 - Beautifully Tragic

11/10/21 That’s what my friend, Megan, called her experience with brain cancer. Beautifully tragic. She subsequently died from it after fighting for 10 years, but used these words again just a few weeks before she passed away. Why would…or maybe how could she even think to call it “beautiful”? Tragic for sure. But beautiful? She left behind a husband and two precious daughters. And beautiful is the adjective that she used to describe the tragic. How? I thought about my own ex

Episode 55 - Create The Life You Love

10/27/21 It is really hard to love your life if you’re not feeling content or feeling really good about every part of it. It’s why many people go outside of their marriages, or circle of friends, or even out of their religion looking for something to make them feel better so that they could really feel like they love their life. So, I thought I’d talk about how I’ve discovered to feel better about ALL of it, and how my life is turning out to be the life that I truly love. And

Episode 54 - Can You Trust Your Emotions?

10/20/21 Have you ever woken up one day and just felt all stirred up? Or maybe you’ve had a few days where you just couldn’t put your finger on it, but you knew things felt out of sorts. Heavy. Maybe you’re even angry and you’re not even sure why exactly, and you don’t even know where it came from. Confession: I’ve got some big decisions I have to make right now and it’s bringing up all kinds of feelings of vulnerability. I’ve also got a situation in my life where I feel like

Episode 51 - The Goodness Of A Sovereign God In The Midst Of Affliction

9/29/21 I want to start by reading a poem I came across the other day that stopped me in my tracks. Mainly because it’s a letter from God to His child, and I felt like He was speaking directly to me. This poem is by May Prentiss Smith. “Child of My love, lean hard and let Me feel the pressure of your care. I know your burden, child, I shaped it; Balanced it in My own hand, made no proportion in its weight to your unaided strength. For even as I laid it on, I said, ‘I will be

Episode 50 - Overcoming Adversity

9/22/21 A Biography is a detailed description of a person’s life. Facts like where you were born, where you grew up, went to school, who your parents were, what relationships you’ve been in, and all the other markers in your life. I remember in 5th grade doing a timeline of my short 11 years of life. It was a bunch of letter-sized construction paper taped together that was longer than my little frame. It seemed like such a big life. So many things that had happened, like brea

Episode 49 - The Power Of "AND"

9/15/21 Another holiday came. Labor Day. It’s just a day, right? But it’s a day when a lot of people had the day off from work - a nice long, three-day weekend to enjoy family and friends. I really hope that was you, my friend. I was so excited that my daughter came home from her new job in a city 3 hours away. I believe I told you a episodes earlier that she had been living with me since I’ve moved into my new house a year ago. Three weeks ago she moved away and I felt just

Episode 48 - Sorry To Disappoint You

9/8/21 This episode is going to be shorter than normal, I think. Mainly because I only have a few words to say on today’s topic. But also because I’m in a real-life centrifuge of emotions about it. Soooo, I had a message from my podcast host saying that my last episode “On Being Pursued: I Said Yes” is blowing up. It’s had more listens in 48 hours than all my other episodes. And I think I know what’s going on. The comments I’ve received from some people was that they were rea

Episode 47 - Afghanistan & A Sea of Sorrow

9/1/21 I had a completely different episode ready to record for today’s podcast as a response to last week’s topic on being pursued. And I’ll have to push that out one more week, because I feel so compelled by all the death and the tragedy in Afghanistan that is currently impacting our nation’s military families, that I’d like to address just a portion of it that hits home for me. When I see the photos of the cargo planes filled with United States flag-draped caskets I am sad

Episode 45 - Here I Go, Doing Hard Things

8/18/21 Life is funny, huh? Last week’s episode was titled “You Can Do Hard Things.” And it was a message I had been working on for a while and I had it recorded a couple of weeks ago and slated for it to come out last week. So, it was planned ahead of time. Isn’t that just like God to plan something ahead of time so that when the message comes to you (or in this case, even comes from you) it’s right on time? Well, it’s definitely a message for me, right on time, because my d
