Today I am having an official Coming Out party. It is time to show the world who I am and whose I am. I am tired of hiding parts of myself from the world in fear that some people may be turned off or, heaven forbid, they might not like me. So here it is, …
In my last blog post, I described how perfectionism can be passed down from generation to generation if allowed to persist. In my own upbringing, blue ribbons in horse shows, A’s in grades and winning in sports were strongly encouraged — and that is putting it mildly. I did pass some of that down to …
Today was a crazy busy day and I just didn’t have time to go for my walk this morning. By 4 p.m., I didn’t feel like exercising at all. But the little voice was still nagging me, so I did what I sometimes do when I need to exercise and don’t feel like leaving the …

All you who are thirsty, come to the water!….Pay attention and come to me; listen that you may have life. Isaiah 55:1-3 The message is so clear; are you thirsting for something in your life?
