New blog!

Welcome to the good stuff! Each blog will hopefully bring you some kind of focus, inspiration, or thought that gives you the warm fuzzy and most importantly, you can pass forward on to others! I think we spend too much time thinking about all the stuff we can't control and it is eating us alive, literally.

As many of you know, my writing has come to the very front of who I am as a person. I was always a writer, from a very young age (thanks DAD!) but I didn't always write. Now I do, because God told me too. I just ended a big, sad chapter in my life. I asked God "what is next?" and He said loud and clear, "start talking about the good stuff!" Ok, folks here I go...have fun with this, and don't forget to chime in with things you have seen throughout the day that made you stop and say "Wow, that was good!" It's out there, you just have to stop looking at all the bad stuff first! Try it!

Thought for the day:

If you stand and face the light, the shadows are behind you and you can't see them.

Sometimes the light is so bright, you need to keep your eyes shielded from it, that's ok, just keep moving forward toward it, one step at a time. If you look back, you will see all the shadows, and all of the ugly people who lurk in them. It's easy to stay turned in that direction, it is familiar and comfortable, but it is unproductive and it is NOT God's will for you! Turn back around and look, toward the light. Let the lurkers lurk, let the shadows fall where they may, you have business to attend to and it isn't back in those nasty shadows...it's right in front of you!!!
