Giving What You Want

Many people want to know what they need to do to receive certain things in their lives. One answer to this question? Give it away. It sounds ironic, but I believe it to be true. I've seen it too many times to not believe it. I always enjoy listening to the Sammy Hagar song, "Give to Live". The... Sign in to see full entry.

Powerful Intentions

Intention is a word I have often taken for granted. I have seen it especially in some books I have been reading lately. In those books it says we can use intention to better our lives by seeing and receiving the results we desire. How true is this? Can we actually "intend" our lives? I decided to...

New Years Resolutions

New Years Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I am thankful that God set things up this way. Every 365 days we get a chance to start over. Things are new again, second chances abound, and optimism is in the air. I also enjoy making New Years resolutions. I have decided to share mine for... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy New Year!

I can't believe 2009 is already gone. It just got here! In my opinion it was a good year. Do you ever get the feeling an upcoming year is going to be "one of those years"?

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! After a busy couple of days, my family and I just spent some quality time together today.

It's that time of year again. I love the Christmas season for many reasons. One is the Christmas specials my family and I watch together each year.

I love this time of year. As the song says..."it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". More and more every day. As great a time as this is it is also a very busy time of year between holiday preparations, deadlines at school etc. It can get stressful at times because we are constantly on the...

I'll Be Happy When I...

Lot's of things on this earth make me happy. The problem is that I have the tendency to want more. I'm not the only one. It's human nature. When we accomplish one goal we are already looking towards the next one. I think back at times in my own life. In college I had many friends and was happy.... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is natural to reflect on the things we are thankful for as we approach Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for I can't even keep track. One idea I've read about in several readings lately is the importance and benefit of being thankful. In fact, being thankful is a great way to... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep On Loving Yourself

The above title is the name of a song from the not so popular duo of Wetton and Manzanera. It is in inspirational song encouraging us to realize our worth in this world.
