Homesick

Yesterday I had to get labs at my doctor, a routine checkup. As I drove into town it just felt a little different. I hadn’t been able to explain the feeling that crept up every once in a while with the pandemic but I think the word could be “homesick.”

I pull up at the doc to get greeted outside and temperature taken with a questionnaire of my life. I go into the office to find all the chairs gone and a long table stretched across the room with masks, hand sanitizer and such laid out.

It started feeling a little eery to me. I began wondering if it would ever go back to the days where I would go in and sit in the waiting room and just see all the different people coming in for appointments.

I made it through the labs although now they take my credit card before they took the blood tests. Why? That was just different too?

I hadn’t been to Sally’s Beauty Supply since before the pandemic, I had just been ordering things but I needed a few things quickly. The window had been broken by a few stragglers after the protest in the town. There was a mural painted on the window and all the clippers were gone and the order they made months ago had not arrived yet.

Many things were no longer on the shelves because of slow orders. But I did get to get a few things I had really been needing and wanting. Got to chat with the young girl working in there and she was feeling similar to me. I was glad to have some conversation with her.

I then passed the new Home Goods store that has just come to town before the pandemic shut everything down. I just had to put my mask on and go in. Hardly anyone else in the store. Somehow I felt blessed to even be in there getting a few things, like I wouldn’t get to again.

I had to fast in the morning before my labs so I was excited to get out and go eat lunch. There wasn’t anyone available to join me so I thought I’d drive through and go park someplace and eat.

First I went to Fazoli’s… no the line was way too long. I then decided on Panda Express. Not as many choices but I found something I liked. I made sure and asked if I had a fork…”yes,” she said.

Sure enough I pulled in to a shady parking lot and no fork. Chinese food with no fork? I managed to get the lid off of one of the containers and ate with that, I felt like I was on the movie Castaway. Maybe I’m being a tad dramatic.

What helped me put it all into perfect perspective was when I got home and someone asked if we could help someone that had their perfect suicide plan, planned out. We were asked if we could help. “Yes we will see her soon!”

This made me see how grateful I am that I have had only one day like this, not every day like this. I am able to sort it out. I am able to know that even if things don’t go back like they were, I will be ok.

My life is not really about me or about things. It’s about helping others. It’s about living the call that came from my Heavenly Father to help others get free. It’s about helping others get healed. That’s the thing that brings me the most joy and fulfillment and I’m grateful that for right now that has not been taken away.

What do you think you were put on this earth for? There is a reason and a purpose! If you need help I can work with you to find it. I’m not wanting money– it’s free.

Contact me if you need to!

There are good things for us!

Don’t let the sad days overtake you!

Life is still good!

One day at a time!

““Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise, Lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, Your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones. All your children will have GOD for their teacher— what a mentor for your children! You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness, far from any trouble—nothing to fear! far from terror—it won’t even come close! If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill. I also create the destroyer— but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD ’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD ’s Decree.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54:11-17‬ ‭MSG‬‬

This is my scripture for these times!

Have a blessed day and I will talk to you soon!

Im going to stay in a hotel and swim with my grandkids tonight!

Take care and be safe!

Shift Keeps Happening

In life many times we need a paradigm shift to happen to change everything around and let us stop, make adjustments that we need, and get on the right path.

The pandemic was one of those such things but two nights ago things shifted even more intense for us. We found ourselves at 10:30 at night running two shop vacs and sucking the water out of our house. It reminded me of scenes from the “Titanic” movie.

My husband even had to go out into the pouring rain with his tractor and dig a little ditch to drain the water away from the house. There was actually a moment where a foot of water was standing on part of the outside of our house.

We managed to keep it from running past three rooms and my closet. After we got it all stopped and dried up we put the fans on it in different places.

So the next day I’m thinking, “What do I need to glean from this?” As I pondered, I realized that the only damage that really occurred was in my hair salon and my closet! We managed to pile up towels and keep it from going to the other side of the house.

I realized after I came home from our trip things just seemed out of alignment. Our car was in the shop, my daughter’s car was in the shop, and I had loads of people contacting me to get in for haircuts.

My daughter was needing me to step up and help with her children one more day a week. My mother that is 92 was needing me to take her to appointments and pick up groceries because the lady at her assisted living was not able to do it anymore.

We were starting our new mission in our Healing House. We knew that we were supposed to finish the upstairs to live up there and turn our whole main floor into our mission and our dream. There were so many things going on when we got home we couldn’t get started with the work.

I am in a course for 2020 with Terri Savelle Foy and I had received this in my texts on Wednesday (the day that the floods happened that night):

When I got this I had four kids at my house and I can’t tell you how many people were contacting me for haircuts to the point I was starting to feel like I was going to explode.

I will tell you that after the water ran through and I got to the end of myself I realized my priorities. God first, my husband next, my family next and then the mission that He’s given us. There was a time that doing hair was my mission but that has changed now.

I instantly texted someone I knew that does hair and asked her if I could send her my clients and she said, “Yes.” I could feel relief coming off my back as I let go of what I wasn’t supposed to be doing in this season.

It was time. It is a new season! It was time to move forward in tearing down and rebuilding. I’ve had things show up like this time and time again. Showing me the path and the right stones to step on. My Heavenly Father showing me the way to go!

Time for the focus in life to SHIFT!

Do you have things that you need to SHIFT?

Do you understand SHIFT?

Are you ready to let go of some past things that don’t need to go into today?

Contact me if you need direction and help doing this!

You can do it!

See you soon!

Connections

It’s so nice to have good connections that you can trust! There was quite a while that I had to stay in my own lane and concentrate on finding my own identity and destiny. Now it is starting to feel like a breakout and breakthrough time.

In many ways there are some major divine connections happening. Mainly these connections are sent to help me help others. We just can’t rise up and do what we are supposed to do alone!

Do you have people surrounding you to pray for you, to hold your arms up whenever things are hard, and to believe in you? I am so grateful that I can say that I do! While I was having to stay in my lane, it felt like some were gone, but in the right timing, just the right connections are showing up!

I’ve had to fight through some mindsets and even forgiveness about things to breakthrough into the new! The new is a great place to be! When we are feeling all alone we have to face some feelings of rejection. We even have to forgive people that we feel have let us down. Sometimes we start feeling like a victim.

We can’t expect good things out of the wrong people. The right people will appear if we have the right attitude and are ready to receive them. If we are in a wrong attitude nothing can please us and seem right.

If we have a quiet, staying in our own lane time, just remember that it is a good time to work on our own self and be ready to welcome the new! We want to be prepared for our new alignments!

Are you ready to trust new connections? Can you think of anything that may hold you back?

It’s time now, the things are getting set up, the people are in place, and it is time❣️

Let’s do this!

Time to align!

Time to build that team!

Remember gratitude!

Ready, set, GO!

Step into alignment and destiny!

See you soon!❤️

Pretty little lies

What are the lies that come to you? I’m to old, I’m too shy, I don’t know enough, I’m too mean! There are always voices coming to us trying to stop us!

What are some things that we can do to stop these lies and move forward? We need to look at a common theme that is always there throughout our lives! Usually the thing that we have had the hardest time with. That’s the thing that we have become an expert on.

Mine is trauma. In a matter of 15 years I got raped at knifepoint, went through 3 marriages and divorces, my parents got divorced after 43 years of marriage. Trauma became a theme in my life. A series of events that set my life on a track where the only thing that I could do was to pursue God and get help! I didn’t have any other direction to go, I would have sank! After doing this so desperately for years it became my call, my reason to get up and breath another day.

It’s turned into my hobby. There have been some things that could have stopped me dead in my tracks and I’ve had to learn to take the adversity and turn it to the thing that challenged me to come up higher.

Helping someone else succeed and helping inspire them, became the thing that gave me joy and gave me power! Every once in a while I will get a little stumped on something and I have a group of people all around me to speak into me and help me stay on track! I really do appreciate my tribe and my connections!

Do you have a tribe around you to help hold your arms up when you need it? People that you can be honest with and will pray for you? Not a bad idea to start looking and seeing who they are. Those little lies need to stop!

Write down your connections. The people that God has surrounded you with! The ones you contact if you get tripped up! Remember we all get fooled and lied to at times!

You DO have a purpose! Yours may be similar to mine! Yours may be completely different! It will most likely be that theme of events that has gone on forever and you can’t seem to get away from it!

Find your purpose!

Write your vision!

Pursue your dreams!

Destiny will appear!

Invest in yourself to get help!

Read books, watch videos, find a coach!

Counteract those lies!

You can do this!

Need help? Contact me!

See you soon!

Find your purpose…

No matter what is going on in this world it is still time to find our purpose. It’s not time to give up, it’s not time to stop dreaming. It’s not time to think that the slowing down will stop our dreams.

There are hurting people that need help, more so than ever. It’s time for our voices to be heard. It’s time to get connected to the people that can hook us up with our highest potential. Negativity just will not fit where we need to go. Is something tearing you down or not serving you well? You just have to let it go!

We have to learn to read books by people that have walked where we need to walk and done things that we want to accomplish. We need to be inspired to find our gifts and what makes us passionate!

We need to stop finding all the things that are wrong in our lives and start thinking about all the things that are right. We have to get creative and find ways to help others succeed! If we can’t be happy be happy for someone that is doing wonderful! Learn from them and be teachable.

We need to stop thinking that everyone just wants our money and we don’t need to hear what they have to say. Sometimes it is time to invest in ourselves. We are the best investment that we can make and we are definitely worth it.

All we need is faith the size of a mustard seed… that is very small… and we can start moving mountains! We sometimes need to get help if we can’t find even that size of faith. It’s there, we just need to build it up like a muscle.

Sooo let’s do this! Let’s find people that we need to be like, let’s listen to their YouTube messages, read their books, and get fed into our spirits what they are doing to get where they are and be who they are. It’s our responsibility to fulfill our destiny, dreams and not give up!

We grow when we are outside of our comfort zone. Let’s make this change in our world a time of growth! Let’s be around people that are thriving not just surviving! We are on this earth a short time, let’s make the best of it and make it count! Shine where you are supposed to shine!

Set those goals and accomplish them!

Time for the excuses to stop!

We can’t blame others for our unhappiness!

It’s time to stand up and make a difference!

We only live once with only so many days!

Let’s make each day count!

See you soon!!
