Summer Projects

Summer Projects blog

I don’t know about you, but I love to plan a few Summer projects! Work typically slows down just a bit (at least in the retail world) so I have just a bit less going on. I thought it might be fun to discuss some Summer projects! Whether you are super crafty and talented like […]

I Can Do All Things

I Can Do All Things

“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13 I was reminded of this verse the other day. The timing was spot on, unbelievably so. Something difficult was going on and I just wasn’t feeling up to it. And then it was if this verse came as a message from God […]

All Your Might

All Your Might

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” – Ecclesiastes 9:10a Every Monday part of my devotions is putting up a new Scripture for the week. A few years back, my sister brought me some lovely and decorative cards with Scripture on them, so now every week I pull out a […]

Apply Yourself Well

Apply Yourself Well

Do you ever wonder what you can do in life to really make a difference? Apply yourself well. To your work, to your school, to your projects, and yes, even the mundane things such as dishes and laundry. To be honest, I’ve found myself a bit distracted lately. For rather pleasant reasons really, but I […]

A Change of Heart

A Change of Heart

Have you ever had a change of heart about something? Although it has probably happened more times than I could say, I have known myself to have a complete change of opinion in some situations.

Be You

You must be you! Be boldly who God created you to be! Be thoughtful and kind, and live with enthusiasm and energy!

I remember feeling as if I had a breakthrough earlier this year. It felt revolutionary, even daring! I was going to pursue and enjoy pursuing the little things in life that meant so much to me! Late one night I shared this idea with my parents. They kindly listened as I told them I realized that […]

Books that Inspire Success and Enthusiasm

Books that Inspire Success and Enthusiasm

My parents taught us children years ago that constant self-improvement was a necessary habit in life. I’m so incredibly grateful for this, because a positive influence is important and most edifying! When I was younger, I used to enjoy reading about different celebrities – the Olsen twins – or some such. The Olsen twins were […]

Increasing the Value of Your Relationships

Increasing the Value of Your Relationships

To value is to consider the worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance of something or someone. It is rather fascinating to me, once again I find that ideas formed to help improve businesses and how they operate, also improve life and your outlook. I remember first noticing this about ten years ago, back when I was beginning my first company. I always made an […]
