The process of life is ever unfolding, guiding you, pushing you, preparing you for the next part of the process.

Perhaps these things are there to keep us alert, to make us stronger, or to test our resolve to keep moving forward.

If it's not your story to tell, you don't tell it.

I knew all of the childhood prayers I uttered on my knees at the side of my bed. Many years of Sunday-school attendance had etched certain Psalms and rote prayers into the fibers of my brain. However, somewhere deep inside of me, I had the secret belief that I did not know how to pray, and that frightened me.

You set the standards for how you will be treated. People will treat you the exact way you treat yourself. So be good to you. Take time for yourself. Rest. Play. Shower yourself with affection, support, and gifts.

I'm focusing on healing lives and teaching people that they can heal - giving them tools to heal.
