Conversations with Coeta, my laundry lady

One of my life aspirations is to purchase a multi-acre ranch to pass through my family’s future generations. Key: Land ownership + an income producing asset. Recently, I ran across a Women’s Health article by Rachael Rodgers, CEO of @hello7co and @therodgersranch who recommended women stop doing laundry if you desire to be a millionaire. […]

Reminders from God’s Calendar

Monday night before bed, I reviewed my monthly goals. Goals are easier to chew when you take a bite each day. Say no to overindulgence, my friends. I said to myself, “When I wake up, I’m going to do this, this and this.” Gratefully, the sun rose and I had another chance to strive towards […]

Rivers of Compassion and Grace

Lately, I have found myself quick to respond without fully listening, make comments that do not usher in grace or understanding, and quick to judge another’s logic. Today in my daily meditation, I was reminded of times when I made really bad decisions, led with my emotions or simply just didn’t get it right. It […]

We Need Each Other

“Don’t catch feelings!” seems to be the line for the millennial generation.  The phrase is subjective; it’s interpretation varies by the individual. I’m more interested in how we have ALLOWED society to corrupt our minds to go against the very reason God created man and woman.  Each made distinctively to fulfill His purpose but both […]
