I use to be a “stuffer” disconnected from my deep seated emotions. Initially how I was dealing with them appeared to work. I was this lovely calm woman that was able to emotionally handle everything that came my way.

The ineffectiveness of how I was dealing with my emotions only surfaced when my body went into a major health crisis about thirty years later, resulting in long term...

Stuffing or lashing out never helps your pain to fully go away. So what gives? The fact is if it still rears its ugly head, you have an indicator that it has not been dealt with in a healthy manner. All you have done is bury it; gone, out of mind but not out of body or emotions.

Think of a car warning light coming on, same thing. You can ignore it and deny that there is a problem, but the...

When a car engine isn’t working properly you can hear it; that is if you know what a good motor sounds like. It is the same for a stringed instrument. The strings need to be adjusted to be in harmony with one another, but often a person has to “learn” what this sounds like, and it takes training.

So in life, what is your ear trained to listen for? Does it know the sound of a...

And God says to you…My beloved child, you are the apple of My eye. I delight in what I created you to be. You are not a disappointment to Me. How could I be disappointed when I was the one that created you? In My mind you are a magnificent piece of artwork that I took time to personally handcraft and design, and when I had finished and took a step back to admire you, I absolutely...

Being able to bring closure to relationships that have ended is important to being able to move on in life. Without it you can get stuck, find yourself living with regrets, or just plain ticked at them for leaving you hanging emotionally; especially if someone dies, or you’re not given the chance to say goodbye.

An extremely effective tool is what I call “therapeutic puking.”...

Unmet needs in our childhood can really mess a person up. Because there is no violence or loud voices, it is easier to think that everything is ok, when it is not.

A child’s heart is very precious and tender. They believe the adult knows best and so when they are neglected, ignored, or their heart was simply missed, they will then come up with a rhyme or a reason in judgment against...

If you have a mental block re a business or a personal goal, an easy and extremely effective technique to breaking through with is to start with your imagination and give God permission to change the picture. This means that after the initial image that you get to choose, God is in control of the rest. Know that because the end result is something you would have never imagined, it can...

If you have a heart to make a difference in the community around you, plus you have a God given mandate, know that the difficulties coming against you are not because of what you have done wrong, but is most likely because of what you have done right.

These trying circumstances will cause you to question whether or not you have heard from God, and if you have, will He even help you?

The majority of Christians only know about “church” i.e. making converts, church attendance, building projects, maintaining religious structures and programs, works of charity, etc.

Jesus never talked about “church”. He always talked about “Kingdom.”

Question: If all this “stuff” doesn’t change the community around us, then are we really...

Does it ever feel like running your business is a lot harder than it should be? You’re smart, you know what you’re doing, yet things just don’t go the way they should.

If that is the case, I encourage you to consider that you just might need some new creative spiritual strategies.

Think about it...

As a Christian business owner if you are making God happy, then know you are...
