We all have things happen to us in life. Some are wonderful. Some aren't. It's how we respond to adversity that makes all the difference.  We can succumb...or we can overcome. Most of what happens in our daily life is probably fairly benign.  It's when the big things, the unexpected, the often unwanted things happen that … Continue reading Be an overcomer

As has happened in the past, I have had my one word for 2017 picked out since about October: COMFORT. I was happy, comfortable even 🙂 , with my choice.

I was wondering once again this past Sunday why the heck I had chosen Grace to be my word--or more accurately, Grace had chosen me to be its person --this year.

I got some unwelcome news today that my beloved Holy Yoga (HoYo) Saturday morning class is ending. Moving to Tuesday evenings. When I am at work. My first thought was, OH NO!!!
