In the rainstorms of life……..count your blessings In the valley……count your blessings trudging through the darkness and walking in the mire…….count your blessings because a grateful heart can endure the storm ttucro  

Funny as I rummage through the collection of odds and ends accumulated over the years…….I am amazed at how consumed I was over hanging on to the most trivial things…..justifying that I might’ve need them one day or someone else might……. they never came….I never used them and I have been carrying them around for…

Comes a time when we are called to define what value we place on ourselves…… we reluctantly do an inventory of how true we are being to our core beliefs…….. going against those is like sanding against the grain….hard going….. we make hard decisions that turn our world 🌎 upside down………. internally we know it…
