Clearer (Thoughts)
It is the start of a new decade, 2020. The start of a New Year. We all want something to change. To release old habits; affirm new ones and be positioned for greater. The problem with that is we will not change our actions until we change our thoughts. When our thoughts are filled withContinue reading “Clearer (Thoughts)”
The Journey
The road that we take is long and sometimes difficult. What is life without the ups and downs or the trials that come. It is said that what does not kill you makes you stronger; and I’d like to add that what does not kill you can also make you bitter and will lead youContinue reading “The Journey”
Time Flies
Amazing how I started blogging almost a year ago and was writing everyday. Amazing how time flies and your thoughts drift away, but where? Writing is not something that you can just do when you are in thought, it is something for me that’s spontaneous; something that happens out of the blue; something that happensContinue reading “Time Flies”
Spares
Michigan’s weather is notorious for being unpredictable and forever changing. During this winter season our roads become very difficult to drive due to the major potholes, craters, deep holes, natures speed bumps. These road conditions cause major catastrophes for many drivers. I’m sitting at the tire stop because I happen to drive over multiple potContinue reading “Spares”

I wonder what becomes of each seed that’sContinue reading “The Power Within”
Periods: Endings or Beginnings.
Happy New Year, can mean the start of something new; the beginning of something refreshing or the end of something significant. As we transition the calendar flips, Auld Lang Syne plays and people make resolution towards that which is to come. For some it’s a new lease on life. Letting go of unfavorable habits orContinue reading “Periods: Endings or Beginnings.”
The Bigger Picture
The lessons of life always have a bigger picture. Ever considered how everything starts out small like seeds, when planted, it grows into a larger intent of the designed purpose. Doesn’t matter if it’s good, bad, or ugly. Edible or non-edible everything starts by being planted. In thought, actions or words. God’s garden’s take trueContinue reading “The Bigger Picture”
Our Better Self
Each and every day we have an opportunity to reflect upon our lives, the choices that we make, the regrets that we have; the moments of excitement, and the moments of sadness. Through it all we have learned that we are resilient, life does move on and hopefully through the lessons that we’ve experienced, onContinue reading “Our Better Self”
