I have absolutely no idea what to title this blog. Please forgive me. Love, Marta

Hello there. It’s me again. I know you all thought I dropped off the face of the earth. Well, I hate to disappoint, but…I didn’t. Here I am! Anyway, I’ve been pondering relationships lately. And recently, as I was standing in my shower reflecting on the mysteries of life and love and the universe, I [...]

I Have All That I Need

Published on February 7, 2012 By Administrator

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, [...]

“Take a stand; make a change…”

Donna requested, about two months ago, that I write about new beginnings. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Let it never be said that the mPower bloggers never did anything for the people! Change is an interesting thing. It can be exciting. It can be scary. It can be welcomed. It can be [...]

You Never Know…

Since my Internet has been off & on all day (weather connection issues, maybe?), I’m on my phone blogging. Over the past several days, I have had life & death on the brain. A week ago, a speaker in church quoted Ecclesiastes (“a time to…”) & I was wondering what time it is in my [...]

I Used To Dream About the Life I am Living Now

There is a song called “I Made it” by Kevin Rudoluph that I have a clip of on on my cell phone. Sometimes when I need to set an alarm, I pick for the song clip to play. I do this because I like to get the reminder of an ever-present truth in my life. [...]

Participate!

Well, following Marta’s blog, I thought I must need to include a post which I was throwing around in my mind…regarding what?  WINNING.  Now, I’m not talking about these epic wins or epic fails we speak of in colloquialism.  I’m talking about winning.  Like this: Well, maybe not exactly just like that…but the song did [...]

Ahh, sweet victory…

Oh, Charlie Sheen hype. It has been a constant source of entertainment and ridiculousness for my little brother and me over the past few months. Like, honestly, I don’t think I’ve gone a day without saying “win” or “winning” in a very long time. (So I’m a nerd. Whatever. Lol) But seriously, dude, I love [...]

Guess What?!?!?!

I have this theory…would you like to hear it?  Here goes: “Everything always works out for the best.” That statement may sound pretty simplistic, but I have come to find that it is really true. I used to spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and even years dwelling on “what if…?” disaster scenarios.  (By the [...]

Crocheting

Published on May 13, 2011 By Administrator

Karen is a dear friend, writer, and all-around amazing lady. She has guest blogged for us before here at MPower, and we are delighted with her most recent post, “Crocheting.” Enjoy! I was crocheting a lap blanket for a friend today and started thinking about the message I want to deliver with it. I began [...]

“I can’t figure it out; it’s bringin’ me down; I know I’ve got to let it go…”

I am a college graduate. I can cook well enough to support myself and know how to do my own laundry. I am a very capable, responsible adult. And I kinda had a meltdown a couple days ago. I’d been through a really stressful weekend and had had an intense morning. I ate a nice [...]
