Look Up!

By -

One of the best reasons to live in Florida this time of the year is the amazing weather. The crystal blue skies and warm sunshine are wonderful considering that most of the country remains buried under snow and ice.

Last Saturday was no exception. I was in the house cooking breakfast when my son started screaming, "Mom come here"! He said it so many times, I really thought one of my kids was hurt or bleeding. I ran outside to see this gorgeous sight. A sky writer had just completed writing the words "TRUST JESUS & GOD". It was the most amazing sight ever seen in the sky. It was so impressive! I am sure for miles around you could see those inspiring words written in the sky. I quickly grabbed my iphone to snap a picture. I stood outside basking in the glory of the sun (SON).
That day I was overwhelmed thinking about all of the stuff on my "to do list" for the weekend. As a full time working mom, weekends don't mean a day off. I find myself keeping crazy busy even though it is the weekend (the time I should be resting). Imagine what a great reminder God gave me on last week when I looked up.

I'm not sure what stress or obstacles you might be facing (completing a school project, caring for a loved one, making a decision, trying to pay a bill, etc.). No matter the test, I want to remind you to TRUST the way God reminded me last week.

God can handle it! He created you so that He could LOVE on you. He won't let you down, just look up and allow Him to remind you of His impressive power.

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post.

Take A Lesson From Ants

By -

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes via our tv, social media and newspapers.
