You are loved so greatly

You are loved so greatly

Hello, Happy Wednesday! Today I want to talk about being happy with yourself! Especially in today’s world we do a lot of comparison. Thanks to social media! Oh they have a better car, or they have a big house, or I’m not good enough because I don’t have those things. Ummmm…. NO! God created you beautiful; everyone looks differently and that’s ok! Just because they have a bigger house doesn’t make you any less than them! It’s ok! 05/15/2024 09:00 AM

Finding Your Way Home

My homeless friend appeared weak as she sipped on a Gatorade. She turned to me. “I’ve tried to stay dry, but it gets so humid lately.” 05/15/2024 09:00 AM

It’s not what you wear, but that you’re there

It’s not what you wear, but that you’re there

It’s not what you wear, it’s that you’re there. Let’s face it. It’s true for us all. We have that day at work where your clothes just feel too tight all day and all you want to do is get out of them and into something more comfortable when you get home. Most days, that can be the baggiest pair of sweatpants or pajama pants or shortest shorts you own. And don’t forget that ratty T-shirt that you’ve owned for who knows how many years and has so many holes that it wouldn’t even make a functional cleaning rag. But you wouldn’t even think about throwing it out because it would be like throwing away your child’s favorite toy. A tragedy of epic proportions! 05/15/2024 09:00 AM

Should estate plans be equal … or fair?

Should estate plans be equal … or fair?

When you’re creating your estate plan, your biggest priority may be taking care of your family — your spouse, grown children, grandchildren, and other loved ones. And as you think of where you want your assets to go, you also may be thinking about how to be fair — but is that the same as treating everyone equally? 05/15/2024 09:00 AM
