Laugh. Love. Forgive. Be thankful.
My rules for a life which can have its share of sorrows, pain, heartbreak, loss, and setbacks.
Keep moving forward.
Live Love as a verb.
You have a choice.
#JustDecide
Yet there are those moments of joy, laughter, winning, goals achieved, love, and much more that make the valleys all worth it.
My advice.
Be thankful for your blessings.
Hope for the future.
Never, ever, ever, give up. -St. JP II
Look at what you have learned in 2024 and be hopeful for an amazing coming new year!

Best brand marketing advice you'll ever get. Talking about what you offer matters but don't limit it there - build emotions and experiences that tie to peoples' lives.
* That voice in your head isn't always you *
Seems crazy right but the truth is you do not have to obey, listen to, or converse with those voices in your head. Sure, its a constant discernment of good vs evil but my truth is telling you not all voices in your head are YOU!
Temptation is not a scream but a small whisper in your head. Do not be fooled!
My answer (as it occurs frequently) is "GET BEHIND ME SATAN" and then I move along with my day. (Jesus taught us this phrase)
Interestingly I was inspired last night to share this as I laid in bed and dismissed the notion (especially since I gave up phone access in bed for Lent) but it came upon me today in a stronger way so here you are.
May God Bless you on your journey and know I am praying for you!
God is good to his faithful and calls every human to conversion. Its a great year to start believing friends - God is waiting!

NEW: Woman in the Swiss ski bar fire says she witnessed a miracle, says the flames completely avoided her friend, who sat down with a cross in his hand when he became trapped.
"A friend of mine couldnโt get out, and he just sat down and held his cross in his hand."
"The fire just avoided him. The fire didn't touch him. The fire was all around him but not on him."
Praise God.
Peace is a choice.
โFind Joy in All Thingsโ
This is the theme that came to me this morning after a blessed day of enjoying family with food and fellowship and festivities of a glorious first day of Christmas.
Was it perfect - NO
His life still challenging - YES
Am I thankful? YES
If you know me, my common return of the greeting โhow are you โ is โI am thankful โ
And while so many share, theyโre gonna take that as their own, which I appreciate or comment on it in a positive way I think for this year Iโm gonna go with. โI am joyfulโ
Many do not believe peace is a choice, I will tell you I have waded in the darkness and saw the understanding that we can choose to see things as we wish - there will always be a mountain to climb or a valley to dredge through.
We donโt have to look too far past this Christmas season and know Jesus never said a bad word to those that murdered him or did any of his saints and disciples who most of them were murdered horribly. We canโt learn something.
Consider making a positive theme to lift you up when times are hard this new year or you just need a better attitude or an angle to traverse this valley of life.
