Interview with Gwen: I wanted to try something different with this blog post.  My friend and coworker have been on a health journey this last year and a half that also has included a lot of spiritual and emotional health improvement.  This made me realize that we as people can sometimes put ourselves on theContinue reading “Does a healthy lifestyle impact the rest of your life?“

Something to know about me is that I absolutely love flowers.  I love to paint flowers, take pictures of flowers, clothe myself in flowers, and my apartment is filled with flowers, specifically sunflowers.  I love to receive flowers, and I love to give them away.  I own a few plants, and my favorite thing isContinue reading “Flowers are about to Bloom:”

The time of year has come when basketball is everywhere, college basketball that is.  It is time for the NCAA championship to be the best basketball team in the land.  I personally am not the biggest follower, but I love watching my friends and family fill out their brackets and then talk about the differentContinue reading “March Madness in Real Life:”

Recently I have been memorizing more verses from my Bible.  One of those verses has been 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion,Continue reading “For God loves a Cheerful Giver:”

This morning I was reading for my devotional.  The part that I encountered was about Jephthah in Judges who ended up having to kill his own daughter as a sacrifice. I decided that this is probably one of my least favorite moments and stories from the Bible.  I know that may not be the mostContinue reading “My least favorite story from the Bible:”

Recently, I was reading a book called, Scars and Stilettos, which is a memoir written by Harmony Dust.  I highly recommend this book, and I will give a brief synopsis of what this book is about.  However, I do believe that you should definitely read this book for yourself, so you can get her storyContinue reading “Not the Real Nectar:”
