Setting the Stage. . . It occurred to me this past week that I have been deliberately avoiding what I’m meant to do. Not all of it mind you, but the most important part. And the part to which income and future financial security are linked. It’s not that I didn’t suspect I was walking…
Read MoreAnother from the archives of “The Connection Station” at AWI. I love this one because it’s so perfect for the last few weeks of an old year; as we prepare for the new. Funny thing about us humans! We have an uncanny ability to hold onto things that have long since lost their meaning and…
Read MoreYesterday I briefly talked about being “bold”. I suggested that true boldness – the kind that doesn’t back down whether or no – may come once in a lifetime for many of us. When I shared the post with our Facebook group (The Neighborhood), a member and friend asked the following question: “Why only once?” Interesting…
Read MoreUsually not more than once in a lifetime, are we given the inspiration to be bold! But I say to you that only once in a lifetime we are provided the energy and fearless intent to be BOLD! For me that time has come! While there have been opportunities in the past when boldness seemed easy to maneuver…
Read MoreAgain, digging in the arcives of our organization going back a number of years. I found the following and more than ever; I think it as appropriate today as when it was written in 2011.

Read MoreAnother from our archives that is perfect – especially for this time of year. We are ending up ’16 and headed into ’17. As we look over our goals and objectives for this year, we may have fallen short of the mark. And falling short of the mark can be disappointing and disconcerting to say…
Read MoreI read recently when PAPA God tells us to “go”, we must do so without question or doubt! Otherwise our hesitancy becomes disobedience. And we know what disobedience can mean. . . In the early days of my Christian walk learning to do as told, I would just “go” when instructed to do something by…
Read MoreYou know the old expression – “use it or lose it!” Over the years, I’ve learned the hard way that the saying is 100% true. I had a big booming operatic voice when young. I studied church music and secretly for the opera. “Secretly” because my Dad did not take kindly to my learning anything…
Read MoreOh but for a slip of the tongue, kingdoms would not have been lost. Or relationships damaged beyond repair! Or the heart of a fool revealed in one utterance to be regretted an entire life through. . . Sounds a bit poetic, does it not? And yet there’s so much truth, fact and wisdom in…
Read MoreMoments ago, it occurred to me that the older I get the more I change! I’ve just read a post on my Facebook news feed with which I wholeheartedly agree. Another friend agrees as well. As I read her response I pondered how different we were in our life perspective years ago. Less serious perhaps,…
