Nearly fifteen years ago, I became a Certified Christian Life Coach. It took blood, sweat, and tears to remain focused while life around me kept doing what life does. Younger people refer to it as life-ing. Still, I thought romantically about how many people I would help when I hung my virtual "shingle" out there. Even though I could not fathom the excessive prices that my … [Read more...] about I Just Wanted To Help

Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
“When we think of the last great battle, we must realize that not only is the future at stake, but that in this present time we are engaged in a warfare. Already we are standing in the midst of the battle. If we have our eyes and ears open, we see how the Enemy is marching on all sides. We do not have to battle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness … [Read more...] about Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
There Is A Long Road Ahead So Plan Ahead
Decline starts the day we are born, but evidence isn't visible until you reach your late thirties. That's when you begin to see annoying facial changes: puffiness under the eyes; skin texture becomes more coarse and lax; fine lines appear; jawline isn't as firm as it once was. Much of it reflects how we have been living, although we refuse to believe that simple … [Read more...] about There Is A Long Road Ahead So Plan Ahead
Sleep Better for Wellness
I want to credit ChatGPT and my millennial son, Michael, for this month's article. Michael, a real estate agent, had written some great marketing pieces for his real estate listings, so I congratulated him on his beautiful work, and his response was "ChatGPT." So, not to be left behind in the AI world, I thought I'd get the app and see how it works. I asked the app to … [Read more...] about Sleep Better for Wellness
Will You Be Eating Your Neighbor?
Early in the COVID hoax, I stated many times that the purpose for the government's frantic insistence that everyone be vaccinated was not based on a health concern. It was not my imagination; I cited reliable sources for my comments, yet I was roundly criticized for spreading misinformation. For speaking out, I was banned (and still am banned) from that ultimate bastion for … [Read more...] about Will You Be Eating Your Neighbor?
We Need Each Other
If my 47-year-old son David had his way, he would hire six or eight strong men to carry me around on a silk pillowed contraption like Cleopatra, and my feet would never touch the ground unless we were stopping to take care of bodily relief.
That said, he tries to make sure that he takes me to the store, parks right near the door, jumps out, runs around the car, and … [Read more...] about We Need Each Other
I Wanna Live Like A Young Person
I live near an "upscale" retirement community. In a recent widely distributed community newsletter, the retirees were in an uproar because younger people were trying to muscle their way in and disrupt what I call their "snoozing" lifestyle. They resent the noise and vitality of younger people and are unafraid to verbalize their displeasure.
But wait . . .isn't there … [Read more...] about I Wanna Live Like A Young Person
How Do I Love ME—Let Me Count the Ways
In Jeremiah 2, Almighty God mourned that His people had exchanged His Glory over their lives for idols, other gods that had no value. We’re warned throughout His Word to fear nothing and no one but Him, nor worship anything or anyone but Him, to have no false gods or idols in our lives. Jonah 2:9(8) CJB declares, “Those who worship vain idols give up their source of mercy.” … [Read more...] about How Do I Love ME—Let Me Count the Ways
Getting Old Is Not for Sissies
It's a familiar quote, and ain't that the truth?
I just completed my first full year on Medicare, and as a part of my annual Medicare wellness exam, I was provided multiple screenings that Medicare would pay for. The one test I was curious about was a cognitive test. The good news is that I passed. Phew! I didn't know what to expect, and I thought I'd … [Read more...] about Getting Old Is Not for Sissies
Happy Thoughts From The Birthday Girl
On the occasion of my seventy-fifth birthday, I was able to do a lot of reflecting and begin my celebration with much less regret than usual. I had the opportunity to speak with some of my children, open a variety (87 to be exact) of greeting cards (some with special $urprises inside, and take in all the beautiful presents like that huge TV, new stand for it and the recliner … [Read more...] about Happy Thoughts From The Birthday Girl
