The Thief
There has been a robbery! But not to worry. What was stolen can be regained. The thief is comparison. Comparison robs us of our identity when we start looking at our current standings versus others. People compare over money, looks and jobs. You are who God created you to be. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He look at his work and think you could have been improved.
Embrace your uniqueness, accept yourself as you are, always trying to improve. God is the authority over our lives. That’s good enough for me…
Grateful…
This morning I woke up with an overwhelming amount of gratitude. I’m grateful every day, but even more so today. Last night I had a car wreck that could have ended my life and the lives of the young men who hit me. All of us are pretty banged up, but we will heal physically. God protected us, no doubt. He’s not finished with us, and I am forever grateful to Him…
Stand Alone
Leaders do the right thing…even when it means standing alone or being counter-culture.
What You Believe
Self acceptance begins with the messages our parents gave us. If they believed in us and taught us that we can overcome adversity, then we probably had a solid foundation from which to grow. But for those of us whose parents told us we would never amount to anything, we had a steeper hill to climb.

Monday
Why does Monday always get a bad rap? I know it means the weekend is over, but you will have another weekend in five days. If you woke up this morning and are reading this, be grateful. You have another day to live. Anyone whose name is listed in the obituary column would gladly trade places with you on your worst Monday. Something to consider…

Growing up in her native Russia, Irina Alexander always wanted to be a teacher. Her mother persuaded her to major in business because teachers make very little money. So, Irina earned her MBA, built a business in a male-dominated industry with over $1 million in revenue in under two years, and found herself in the top 1.6% of all woman-owned businesses. Today, she is a teacher. She teaches Neurolinguistics Programming and helps people free themselves from behaviors that don’t serve them well. She does this by getting to the root of the problem and guiding her clients to remove the root. Through her journey, Irina found the root of one of her problems which she willingly shares here.
Empowerment
We, as human beings, have been given the greatest gift from our Creator: our minds. We have the ability to think critically and discern what is good for us from what is not. We are empowered to grow and thrive. We can do anything we put our minds to…
Painful Memories
Trauma resurfaces in our lives. The coping mechanisms our brains used earlier in life were there to protect us in the moment. When we are ready to heal, we are given the opportunity to face our past and work through it. Do the work…
