Be inspired
What’s the first impression you want to give people? I’m a positive and encouraging person that is getting better every day. I’d love to give them something to think about. Join me as I ride the next wave!
Make a Change Today – Just Be
I love these Pause+Pray moments! Today is Change Me but I really connected with the end. Today’s Act: I am a person of action. Today’s action is to set down that burden. I refuse to carry it any more. I will not be negative to myself. I will accept and move forward. I am investing in my future today. My health, my sanity and my peace are paramount. I choose what I want to do today. I will choose wisely and take care of me. I will learn something new today. I will…create and build. It’s a good reminder that what we focus on becomes our reality or identity. Letting it go and being the best version of myself today will bring me peace! Blessings, Donna

Walking in Faith: Your Anchor in Challenging Times
Do you feel like you are being tossed in waves that could sink your boat? Life has dealt me more than one challenge. Staying positive and encouraging through the storms of life is difficult. One thing that has helped me is to stop, breath and sit. I’m not really in a boat during a terrible storm. I am here in […]
Walking in faith
As director of a faith formation program, I enjoy sharing my newsletters. I also post resources each week on my web pages. This week’s inspiration is Walking in faith, a reason for hope. Our classes start on September 3 so we are getting prepared now. I really appreciate all of our volunteers who help to make this a dynamic and […]
Just don’t do something. Stand there.
It’s an odd phrase with ‘don’t’ and ‘do’ in the same sentence. This quote from Buddha, “Just don’t do something. Stand still (or stand there).” is wonderful when you think about it. It seems to contradict itself. There are so many ways to interpret ‘stand still.’ In a world full of obligations and expectations, we are often trying to do […]
Autocorrect God is Good
This is something that happens when I am texting! My message app will understand my swipe of God and type good. It’s probably quite logical for this program. It obviously hasn’t learned or understood that I mean God when I swipe! Is this program erasing God? It’s not adapting after correcting it and choosing God! Thinking about it further, I […]
I NEED my walking stick!
Image by partystock on Freepik Today, I read the scriptures from Matthew 10:7-15. We, like the Apostles, are to cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and drive out demons. I don’t know about you, but this feels like a normal day in my life. I encounter people in all categories. Okay, I didn’t meet any lepers today. […]
A Miracle in the Kitchen
Sometimes, we are looking for ways to inspire our kids. How can we make some real connections? Cooking and baking are one of my favorite pass times and ways to connect. We may have traditional foods for certain times of year or faith celebrations. I love to create. Food is comfort. Food is nourishment. Good food nourishes the soul, too! […]
My UPBEAT Lent Journey
I try to choose one thing to DO every Lent. It’s a wonderful practice for self-discipline, reframing life or just feeling better! Yes, my faith is important. The greatest commandment is to love God and love one another, simply put. Basics. What would happen if I tried to love everyone with grace, truth and hope? So where do I begin, […]
