The Hero’s Journey
Is God punishing us? Are we weak, insignificant and powerless? Maybe you want to do the right thing. You want to be patient and kind. You want to love others; only to find yourself pushing others away to keep from being hurt again. You want to understand — why? Why can’t people just live and…

Not Everyone Wants to Play Nice In the Sandbox
I am reminded often of the effects of dealing with people who want to control and manipulate others. The more dangerous ones have mastered their techniques and can fool the most vigilant people who’ve already been affected by this personality type. I feel it’s important to include this message in this blog, because you can…

Losing Someone or Something
I’m sorry if you’ve just lost something – like a job, or worse. Maybe you’ve recently lost someone. We lose people for various reasons. It could be through irreconcilable differences, distance, or even death. The pain of losing someone or something can feel excruciating. Loss is something we all must face in this lifetime —…

Pain Into Power
No matter what happens in our lives, we will be okay. We must remember this life is not always meant to be easy. If it were easy, we would be weak. We weren’t made to be weak. We were made to be strengthened. We were made to experience, learn, and grow. At times the growth…

Save Yourself
More and more people seem to be on edge lately, ready for a fight. I think we’re just trying to protect ourselves. We can get pretty creative how we do it — sometimes hiding it from ourselves. Nobody is going to do it for us, so we try to save ourselves. We might be fighters.…

Give Me Your Shame
I’ve always considered myself as a pretty good person. I’ve learned most people feel this way, because when you see people interviewed after being caught stealing or even murdering someone, most of them will say the same thing, “…but, I’m a good person.” Those are pretty extreme examples, but we don’t have to be thieves…

Everyone Gets a Gift
Not everyone loves Christmas. For some this is a stressful time of year. Many of us exchange gifts, representing the three wisemen who brought gifts to our Savior when he was born. Even if you don’t give or receive a gift this Christmas; here are three gifts waiting to be exchanged with our Savior: He…

In Love With Love
Possibly a little embarrassing, but when I was a little girl, I could hardly wait to find someone and fall in love. Maybe it was the love songs I listened to over and over and over again that made me want to feel that kind of love. I felt something when I listened to those…
