I was recently asked a question and struggled with the answer. That seemed like a perfect journal prompt. This week I wonder I challenge you to “Describe yourself in 15 words or less” I started by looking at an identity statement I made years ago. “I am a citizen of heaven (Heb 13:14), straining toward…
Are you participating in the weekly journal prompts? I hope you are finding hope and dreams within yourself through the questions. This week I have spoken with several women this week who wanted to do something, but just couldn’t take that step. I have battled that myself lately. I asked each of them, and I…
I recently met an online friend for coffee. During our discussion, she asked about a time when I had excelled at something; a time when I had stepped out of my comfort zone. I told her about a knit and crochet bible study I created. I explained how it came about, then how I asked…
Earlier this year I prompted the question ‘What would be the theme song of your life?’ For myself I had trouble coming up with one. I think I decided – at least for now – the song would be theme to the Mary Tyler Moore show. I love the words ‘you are going to make…
Every day I ask myself the question “What is enough?” Everyone has a different answer to the same question. And every day, the answer can be very different than the day before. “Enough” seems to get lost in the chaos of life. We give more than we want to. We continue to carry a load…

I describe myself as a Recovering Perfectionist with a Type A personality and OCD tendancies. I struggle with finding ‘good enough’. When will I be good enough? Is it possible to be good enough. What if someone doesn’t think I am good enough? These questions haunt me, and as I have spoken with other women,…
We go through struggles and often get caught up in the chaos of life around us. It is sometimes possible to get caught up in this that we forget to celebrate the successes. Okay, let me reword that. Sometimes I get so caught up in the drama and chaos around me I forget there are…
It’s never too late to start journal writing. Pick up a cheap spiral notebook or find a special bound one, it doesn’t matter. Join in! If you enjoy reading, or watching movies, what character do you admire the most? What do you admire about them? This week, consider if you could be that fictional character,…
I am in a couple of Toastmasters clubs. In one club there is a member who is blind. I am awe-struck whenever I see her. This woman sees through hearing, and she ‘sees’ a lot. She picks up on things people do simply by listening and notices things those of us who are watching don’t…
