Second Firsts

by | Aug 26, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  “Second Firsts” is a book about the grieving process and how to start over again after a loss. I wish I had this book when Rick died in 2004 and when my dad died in 2005. Two loses of men who were deeply important to me. I made some huge mistakes and I see that...

I Choose

I have been busy the last couple of days cleaning out my environment getting ready to bomb getting rid of the fleas so I can have my home back. While cleaning I started thinking about some things in my life and where I am at and where I want to go with my life. What...

When Fleas Invade, I get busy!

by | Aug 18, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey

I have a busy week ahead. As I wrote previously I have been combating fleas, well, turns out I have to bomb my environment, which means extra cleaning and finding a place for Nicholas and I to go to while my place is being fumigated. Today, I am busy putting...

Loving Our Pets

by | Aug 16, 2013 | Living Ministries, The Magnificent Journey

Good morning! I hope you have a spectacular day. This morning I am heavily disheartened by a flea situation in my apartment building caused from an ex-neighbor who just moved out recently. The reason it is disheartening to me is the fact that I bewildered that someone...

Sisterhood Week 1

by | Aug 14, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Confession time, week one of the challenge did not go so well. First, I over ate big time a few days this week and I only exercised two days this week, how pathetic is that?  I have no idea why I let myself down after declaring my desire for movement and good...

Joy

  “I am the door; anyone who enters in through me will be saved will live. He will come in and he will go out freely and will find pasture. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in...

Florence Scovel Shinn

by | Aug 11, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

I have wanted to read a Florence Scovel Shinn book since I started finding her in several references in the books I have been reading. I am so thankful that the opportunity finally came. “The Magic Path Of Intuition” was not a disappointed. Wise words from a woman who...

Sharing Spoons

by | Aug 9, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  A New Kind of Normal is re-launching her Sharing Our Spoons and I decided I want to join. I am so tired of my life right now. I realized this yesterday as I kept stuffing my face, out of boredom, out of anger, out of loneliness, and out of sadness.  Somehow I...

That Time Again.

by | Aug 6, 2013 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey, Weight

It is that time of again, my weekly update. Let me tell you it was a challenging week, but I am through it. First of all, I had to go the ER Monday night and spent 7 hours there. Not fun, but I had a nice nurse that made it bearable. Just below my stoma I have a...

Eat Your Vegetables

by | Aug 5, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  I truly enjoyed every delicious word that Yonan wrote. I love the fact that he is single and he is promoting cooking even if you don’t have a family or someone else to cook for. I will admit that I am one of those who say I don’t have anyone to cook for so I...

Polluting Language

“Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing...

August Challenge!

by | Aug 3, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

  I was reading “A New Kind of Normal” talking about Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans and how the challenges helped inspire her to show off her scars and not be ashamed of them. I felt inclined to look everything up and see what they have to offer. I did, I am...

  I know several people who suffer from migraines. When I saw “The Migraine Miracle” I thought I want to read this and see what it has to offer. I especially was intrigued that they talked about inflammation.  I never realized migraines can be caused from...

Inner Voice

by | Jul 31, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  Russ Whitney’s story of finding the meaning of life after losing some things in his life is a story I am familiar with. I find it interesting that often times it is in disaster and chaos that we find God and love. I know that is the case with me. “The Inner...

No Fear In Love

by | Jul 30, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey

“There is no fear in love (dread does not exist), but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment and so he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love (is...

Romans 12:12 “Rejoice and exalt in hope: be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.”   Thanks to my sister I received a devotional called “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young. The passage today was on hope. When I read one of the...
