Be Sweet Ya'll

I've been thinking a lot about grace and how much it's needed right now in my world for me and for others. So I wrote something about grace that I'd like to share with you and then elaborate on. I want to talk about what grace does for me. I need more of it. I need more of it for myself and for others. Because when I find myself wanting to change somebody, instead of changing me, I think, Nope...T...

Not long ago we talked about "Today I will". Today I would like to talk about the sacredness of one day. The sacredness of what you can do in one day. In one moment, I think we get so wrapped up around the chain of trying to figure out everything. The next day, the next day, the next day. In the rooms of recovery, they call that future tripping. We do it too. Those of us that aren't in recovery, w...

Everything in life is my responsibility. I cannot point fingers at others. I can't say you should have, or they should have. I am responsible. I'm responsible for what I do with my life. I'm responsible 100%. How I treat others, I am responsible. So many times we try to jump in and be responsible for other people and we push God out of the way. God is in the middle of doing some handy, amazing wor...

Shownotes Today’s affirmation “Look Like Love and Sound Like Love” was deeply inspired by a quote from Bob Goff devotional: “Find friends who sound like Jesus and put them on repeat in our lives.” As well as Biblical scripture: Colossians 4:6 NIV Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. The old Testament stuff has passed away....

My Time To Encourage Show Notes I'm watching this company grow right now. There's a company that came to me a few years ago, the young man came to me and they said, You know what? We really like the way you run your company, and we want to pattern our company after yours. They were unapologetic for that. I thought that was so kind and sweet, it made my heart happy and they're amazing. Now they are...

Creative Visualizations Show Notes I read something in an old book by Sarah Ban Breathnach. I love "The Simple Abundance" and every now and then I grab that book out and I read it. It's really old school too, as well. I don't know, new stuff meets old school. I don't know, but it's an old book. I've had it since the year 2000. One of the things that Sarah says is nature never repeats herself, and...

Have you ever asked yourself, "How do I Feel?" When you wake up and you look in the mirror, Do you ask yourself, "How do I look? But, a better question to ask yourself is how do I feel? What am I doing to nourish myself, my soul, my mind, my body? What are the things I'm doing to make me feel more like a whole person inside? The outside will show your inner feelings. Have you ever seen people who'...

Self-esteem is something that I've had a hard time with. When I was younger, I kind of thought the people that had self-esteem were the ones that were just doing big things, and they were like naturally smart, naturally gifted, naturally, all these amazing things. That they had self-esteem and that the only way to get it was to be like them. I realize that self-esteem is just really personal. It's...

How do we love others? How do we do it? How do we show love to others? I think a lot of us think it's gotta be big, you know? I love to do big things. Not only that, but I love to make big shows of love. I love, love, love to go and do a big fundraiser and raise a lot of money for charity. I love to give big amounts of money to somebody if they need it. If I have it. I love the big things. I do! B...

It is very important that we are not moved and swayed by external forces, that we don't let the external forces of our lives rule us and own us. That we don't let negativity and all those things bother us. We also don't need to ignore it. I've had some things that are within my life, especially in business, and in my personal life, too that I've ignored because I have a gift and that gift is also...

The Seeds I Plant I'm glad you're here today. I've talked about something very openly, not the specifics, but I'm still dealing with a very difficult business situation and I'm trying to work myself through it. While some people within business are amazing human beings. Some of the most amazing on the planet. Some aspects of it are not so amazing that do not work for me. I've gotta get out of it....

Energy Show Notes Today I'd like to talk about energy. So have you ever heard people say? Oh my God, I'm just so tired.
