Lately, I have pushed abundance aside…much to my dismay…and an astute onlooker to my life said to me, “You have all that you need.” My first thought was, “No, I don’t. I don’t have __________, or _______, or __________, or _______.” (I stopped writing gratitude in my journal in January, so when I do write, [...]

I think often of the great things we accomplish when we work together. Recently, I had to write a myth in one of my classes. I struggled and labored with it until I called my family for help. I spoke with several members, each one adding insights through brainstorming with me. Some gave suggestions. Others [...]

Happy February!  Traditionally seen as a month of hearts, love, pinks, reds, whites, etc…I needed a new month today.  January was a tiny bit stressful for me! I’ve been pondering my innate need for connection lately.  I have priorities to connect with my husband, our children, my friends, God, other family members, and even myself [...]

As I typed the title, I remembered past years of misspelling “lose” with “oo” like “loose”…something about that “oo” in my brain shouldn’t have been able to alter the end sound of the word…but I’m off topic already. Anyway, just wondering if you, like I, have loose ends loitering about your life like aimless youth [...]

Several days ago, we gathered our family together for an evening (which we strive to do each Monday night). Together we read Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss as we talked about our opportunities for 2012. Then we each took a few minutes to set our personal goals for the new year. We [...]

I intended ob not blogging till next year, but I had an experience this morning with my daughter that I had to share–especially as we sit on the cusp of this new year. She and I woke up early (while most of the world–& definitely most of our household–was still slumbering) and went for a [...]

This year has been a year of quite a few one-word-title-posts for me…and I thought we might end the year with another one.  As we at MPowerGenerations desire to help you give yourself the gift of empowerment all year long, I find myself at a loss this time of year when so many around us [...]

The last few months have been transformative for me. No, I didn’t say Transformers. (Actually, while I’m confessing about not seeing movies on the blog lately, maybe I should tell you I haven’t seen any of the Transformers movies…& the only reason I think I might ever see them is Josh Duhamel. But, I digress….) [...]

Well, I’m about to make a public confession.  Are you ready for this?  I have never read any of the Twilight books or watched any of the movies.  There.  I’m glad to get that off my chest.  You can think of me what you will.  :) Still, I do know all the hype (I see [...]

As I have walked down leaf covered streets this fall my mind has continually conjured up reasons for gratitude in every element of my existence. Even the cracking leaves beneath my feet are a blessing I love. I gaze up as the trees let their branches breathe with the wind, free from care and worry, [...]
