Action vs Intention

In my devotional this morning I read this “Have you ever noticed, that we tend to judge others by their actions, but that we judge ourselves by our intentions?” Andy Knight YouVersion I haven’t ever thought of this idea before, but it makes so much sense. I mean, when we do something we know the

Wellness Wednesday: Week 12

I haven’t done a Wellness Wednesday check in for a month now.  CRAZY.  I was busy getting ready for vacation, then on vacation and then last week trying to get out of the post vacation “let down.” This morning I decided it was important for me to check in for me and see how much

Time For Marriage #Thisis38

Do you make enough time for your marriage?  The time that you get just the two of you to reconnect?  To actually talk to each other, hold each other’s hands and look into each other’s eyes? Paul and I may not get out on our own as often as we would like, but we do

A few weeks ago now I wrote this post: Love So Much where I wrote about the fact that sometimes I love my husband so much that I hate it, LOL. This morning as he leaned over to give me a hug and kiss good-bye, I thought I am so lucky that he is the man that

Take a Step Back

One of the best bits of advice I ever got, was to read the book, The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. I read it for the first time about 15 years ago. It completely changed my experience of interactions with others. When someone is talking to me and I feel myself getting heated, defensive […]
