Yes, I Have Been Labeled Stubborn My Whole Life
I can’t tell you how many times I remember my mother telling me not to be so stubborn while I was growing up, and even as an adult. It seemed that once I had made up my mind about something, wild horses couldn’t change it. As a child, it caused many problems between my parents and myself. They were actually both stubborn themselves, but didn’t realize it. My... (posted by Susan 6 days ago.)

Train Your Mind And Learn How To Protect Your Feelings
We all live through situations that are hard to handle. They could seem minor to some, but if they hurt us, we feel them just the same as if they are major, only not as intensely. An argument with a spouse may be traumatic and sad, but the death of a friend definitely trumps it. Our feelings get hurt either way, it’s as simple as that. Our mind races and our mood...

God Reaches Our Soul, Our Mind Decides What To Do
Often times, we are unaware that our prayers are being answered through our soul. I believe the soul is our connection to God. Prayer is the communication our minds use to summon His guidance, and love. When we feel confident that we have received an answer, we must decide what to do; take the advice given, or ignore His wisdom and compassion. Sometimes, we are so confused...

Mom's The Word
My absolute favorite way to spend Mother's Day would be to have all 3 of my kids sitting in my lap, but since they are adults, and in different states, that isn't going to happen. It still would be my favorite. It seems that young adults remember the adolescent age the most. It's the closest to them now, and many memories are fresh in their minds. Sleigh riding and loving cats and dogs and playing sports and... (posted by Susan 18 days 15 hours ago.)

A Mother's Prayer Is Always There
A mother’s prayer is always there, Please Lord, keep them in Your care I may not be there all the time, But please protect Yours and mine We’ve shared all of our dreams come true, In bad times, let them turn to You I am human; not always enough Call them to You when times are rough. With You by their side, I know they’ll survive With you in their hearts, I know they will... (posted by Susan 21 days 21 hours ago.)

Just What Is That Fine Line Between Love And Hate
We’ve all heard this saying at some point in our lives. "There’s a fine line between love and hate." What does that mean? What line? I think we also know when we’ve crossed it, but what does "it" mean? And why do we sometimes find ourselves throwing terrible words at the person we otherwise profess to love? I have my own theory of which I believe fear of getting our feelings hurt... (posted by Susan 25 days 7 hours ago.)
