Rise Up!

Well that was my word for this year! I have been very quiet this year and sorting through emotions from the last three years! I have been gradually “rising up” in some ways behind the scenes but until today wasn’t ready to share!

Last year began with water flowing through our house when we got home from vacation in March! you might as well say that we rebuilt the whole first floor of our house. Then when it was getting on its way to be finished, the end of September, we took a trip to North Carolina and on down to a Marriage Retreat in Orlando.

While in North Carolina a hurricane came through Florida which destroyed our family’s whole area. We were going to be heading down there after the retreat but of course it didn’t happen. We stayed in the northern part of Florida and came on home.

We still had work to do when we got home and basically picked up the pieces. Just a few months later we had our tenth grand baby, a little boy named Oscar Everette, or Ozzie. What a sweet little boy!

When we have floods, hurricanes, new babies, and all the other things that happen in between we just have to sit down a minute and sort things out! I’m sure you know what I mean!

❤️💜❤️

It just has to take it’s course and sometimes we just have to wait. We have to wait five months for the word we picked for the year in January to start making some sense. I am finally “rising up” and it’s finally a new day and new things are breaking through!

We’ve still been doing the things on our path, but as far as creating or moving forward with the things I had started, the brakes were on, until now!

• Good to see you today!

• Glad to be “Rising Up!”

• Don’t give up in quiet times!

• You got this!

• See ya soon!

Turn it around!

Well we crossed over into February… it’s feeling so much better in 2022! I actually plunged into another company “Color Street” and making my mom’s and my nails so, so pretty! I have this fetish about success stories and companies that started with nothing and made it big!

Even all these mamas in America that were able to stay home and take care of their families because of these companies! So much wisdom is to be heard from these ladies and the sisterhoods that have helped them all along the way. I joined Mary Kay when my children were young and I was going through a divorce…it gave me something to hope for and enjoy and take my mind off of negativity. That was years ago… so much wisdom from these ladies!

I joined Lemongrass Spa natural Bath and Body and Skincare right in the middle of the pandemic! It sent me all these luxurious products during quarantine and all the other calamities last year. I had a spa event at my house once a month and got together with women! We supported each other!

I joined Color Street after my mom got better from a fall and we both needed a pick me up to look forward to, while she has been recovering! It’s been fun! These things and the success stories actually give women something to dream about again!

My mom actually did have a dream the night before I did her nails and dreamed she was going to a ball with a big, red dress and her beautiful nails! If we hadn’t been doing that she wouldn’t have dreamed that!

Marty is back to himself now and has the kitchen in our upstairs finished and we have decided on the other side of the upstairs to make the whole area full of beds and sleeping for as many as we can and a bath for retreats! I have had this dream my whole life!

I remember when I had a salon many, many years ago and I rented the whole building. I would go in the upstairs and just picture it being a place for women to come and retreat and get pampered! I had no one to help me build and I had no extra money! I was young and had such big dreams!

I would have a gathering every once in a while and gather women and have lunch together! We would encourage each other and build each other up! But it wasn’t time yet… I had to wait many more years and go through many more things! I’ve jumped in and joined anything I could in my path and created anything I could to bring me to this day!

My last book “Restored to Bloom” talks about sowing seeds to reap a harvest. That’s what I’ve been doing. Making lemonade out of lemons! Doing little things to help people’s lives come up higher! Any little thing I can!

That dream is being rekindled again! God is providing divine connections to help and enjoy this dream with me! Really? How can it all turn around so quickly? This Saturday having a vision board gathering! It’s snowing like a blizzard and all schools and businesses shut down today, which is Thursday!

Whoever can be here will be here! It’s not about how many… it’s about that one little person, that one little heart that needs to be healed! Jesus left the ninety nine and would go after the one! I will make some soup and Brigid bringing the veggies and if it is just us two or even just me I will put my vision on a board for God to see!

It’s about our hearts and our faith! It’s about our Father making a road in the wilderness! It’s about Him making a way where there is “No Way.” He is the “Waymaker!” He has done unbelievable things! Just believe!

Do not give up!

He will make a way if you don’t give up!

He will give you double for your trouble!

He’s not mad at you!

You are worth it!

See you soon!

Peace for 2022

I have decided for sure now that Peace is my word for 2022. I have learned early on how to live with “Peace in the midst of a storm.” I have learned it even more through the year of 2021.

It is very important that we all shut out the clutter and chatter in our minds and listen to that still, small voice. It’s the voice that shows us our flow in the earth. It’s the voice that keeps us in peace no matter what.

Every voice that is speaking to us is not the voice that we need to hear. The voice I need to hear for 2022 is the voice of Peace. I just received a planner for 2022 for a gift and this is what the first page said and it’s confirmation to my soul!

There are moments when I think about all of the honors that my dad received from the army with WWII. I’m sure there were many moments that he had to choose to agree with PEACE in his mind and not war. I believe he left that legacy with me and my call is to help people live in peace in their lives and in their mind, not anger and torment.

Politics is not my call… my call is helping people walk through normalcy. If it is your call I applaud you, but it is not mine. There were three angels that were left behind when my dad passed to help me walk this out. Faith, Courage, and Provision. They are helping me to fulfill this call.

Something that I have seen in 2021 more than anything else is that mostly what I am doing is behind the scenes. I won’t be in a big platform in front of people. I will be in the trenches. God taught me to see that what He thinks is important for my life is what is important, not what I think is important. I’m re-invented. It wasn’t easy but I receive it. I may be misunderstood and rejected at times but that’s okay. I don’t have FOMO…”fear of missing out” anymore.

My lane is a good lane for me. Your lane is a good lane for you. I love your lane. I am for your lane. I’ve learned how to accept people’s different ideas and beliefs and not be against them even though they are not mine. I’m for peace.

My hope is that you are blessed through 2022!

I hope that you find your flow and your purpose!

We all are important and have important purpose on the earth!

My hope is that you will find your call and purpose!

If you need help in doing that… let me know!

Happy 2022!

See you next week!

After the pause

Our whole month of May was on pause in some ways but very active in other ways. As for social events we were in quarantine, as for private events we were very busy.

To be perfectly honest, Marty almost left the planet. I watched an extremely active, nonstop person within a few hours get taken down to nothing.

That’s when all the arguments about “should I get the vaccine, should I not”…get brought down to the reality of, “What are you saying Father?”

Each and every person has to make their own decisions about things. After Marty was on remdesivir for four days, along with our Heavenly Father entering the room, he got a miraculous healing and his chest started popping and cracking and he was home two days later.

Then I get things sent to me about how bad remdesivir is and I didn’t ask anyone for any information. The same way the day after my first vaccine I got information sent to me about how damaging the vaccine is to your body.

How are y’all sorting these things out? I have to go by life experiences. First off, my ninety three year old mother got her vaccine and it gave her freedom to leave her apartment again after a year. Second, my brother is a pharmacist and has taken a job giving the injections.

One afternoon I just had a feeling that I needed to go get the vaccine. I called the local pharmacy and set up a time later that day. I told them I wanted the J&J shot and they wrote me down. I called my brother and talked to him about it and he said, “I would get the Moderna,” I called and changed it to that.

It was so ironic the next day after I got the shot that J&J got put on a pause because of side effects.

Three weeks later, Marty got a fever and tested positive, I tested negative and made it through the whole next month fighting Covid with him and didn’t get it. That is my experience and story.

Someone else’s story may be different. I respect your story, can you respect mine? I literally watched my Heavenly Father rise up above ALL things and save my husband’s life. There are no conspiracy theories that can figure that out. It’s beyond reason.

I encourage you to hear the Father’s voice for you. What is He telling you to do about everything? I’m always checking that out. It’s about His will, not my will be done.

If you need any help hearing from the Father for you, let us know! We are a no judgment zone to help sort things out!

Much love to you today!

We all have our own story!

Let’s not judge!

Be kind!

Love never fails!

See you soon!

You matter and you are the best!

See you soon!

Change is good!

Just because we have been doing something forever and getting good results doesn’t mean that we are supposed to do it forever. We can get stuck in a rut and get unhealthy in that place.

We have to remain open to new exciting things. My word being Re-invent this year is actually stirring that up to happen in many different ways!

The dream of an old business venture has blessed me so much last month and refreshed ideas of things I always wanted to do but thought that they died!

Our heavenly creator changes things quite often! He wants us to use our imagination and dream BIG dreams! The more people that we can come in contact with, the merrier!

It was so fun last month getting to share my story at a Trauma to Triumph Summit for women and then in the same month got an email to make a video to send to Terri Savelle Foy ministries to share my testimony about how vision boards have changed things in my life!

These are amazing dreams that have come into being from writing my vision and making it plain.

Terri Savelle Foy has written books and courses about vision boards and for her to ask me to do this is nothing short of a miracle!

I’m not excited about these things for my behalf, I’m excited to be able to encourage and help others with stories of miracles that have taken place. Miracles that are truly for everyone. Miracles to change lives!

I hope that you haven’t lost hope in your life! If you have please contact me! I have been through so many horrible things that there is no way I should be so full of hope! But with a change in mindsets, just the right positive relationships that can help build you up, and a God that loves you no matter what… positive change can happen!

Last year and this year so many changes and miracles have happened and I have to keep sharing these things with others!

Change can happen for you!

No room for negativity!

Remain hopeful and move forward!

Contact me if you need help!

See you soon!
