Life's a challenge, and these words helped me. In the darkest of times, Winston Churchill said, “Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.” #RiseAboveIt #MentalHealthMatters

“.. write this on a scroll as something to be remembered.” Exodus 17:14. Write down the wins, as celebrations; the losses, as lessons. Put them in the margins of your Bible or in a journal. #FaithWalk #BibleJournaling.

Thought today for us introverts: It is better to be clumsy in interactions and appear foolish than it is to remain quiet and appear smug, or worse - judgmental. Transparency is needed to build trust in relationships. #BuildTrust #ItStartsWithMe

Kindness is a language which needs no translation. #KindnessMatters #ItStartsWithMe

Some people strengthen and lift us up. Others drain our energy and drag us down. Ditch the toxic relationships, stoke the good ones. Proverbs 17:22 – A merry heart does good like medicine. #MentalHealth #PositiveFriendships

Our essential workers wear masks for hours on end. Don’t give up on your masks. Make them. Buy them. Wear them. It’s smart and it’s patriotic. #COVID19 #SaveLives

The way I live is the only permission I have to instruct someone else. #GodlyLeadership Romans 2:21

Unemployment. Business problems. Family problems. I know this: God's paying attention. One step at a time. “The Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.” Deuteronomy 7:21 #BibleJournaling #GodsPlan
