Break things to rebuild. It sounds dramatic. We aren’t encouraged to break things. You can go to the corner as a kid for that. As an adult, you can go to jail. The funny thing is that kids love to build and tear down. You probably have played the block tower game. If you have kids or ever ‘babysat’, you […]
Lent (Lencten is Latin for Spring) is the season of my faith. It evokes not only memories of giving up chocolate for 40 days straight, but the gift of change. I am evolving. I hope to gain some control over my life! Real change requires more than 30 days to gain a good habit. This season of my life is […]
I was happy to start my journey of growth and grace last week! Lenten promises or intentions are much more important to me than a new year’s resolution. That resolution seems to revolve around reflection of the last year and goals for the new one. It’s also something that I fail to keep the rest of the year. Lent is […]
Healthy aging includes investing in your muscles. Beside the positive gains of conquering the negative voice that short circuits all of your goals, it literally improves your brain. A few things that I have learned: Your muscles are communicating with your brain. Those signals are important in order to move. Those signals improve the connections and plasticity of your brain. […]
Today's intention concerned increasing mobility. I want to encourage everyone to know that no matter what your age is, you are changing daily. Your body is changing, good or bad, each day. It depends on your food, exercise, water intake, and so much more. You have the power to change every day!
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!
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

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 […]
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 […]
