Why Do I Feel Guilty?
Morning friend, We just celebrated Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. But I’ve been stuck pondering Saturday. The day between the horror and the hope. The day for the silent pause of not knowing yet still waiting. The “not yet” space we all hate to be in. I wonder if most of life feels like Saturday. The not yet space. The…
Forgive and Forget, Is That Wise?
Morning friend, Loved all the interaction on the blog last week on emotional abuse. It’s so validating to know you are not alone and you are not crazy. Here’s another tactic that abusive individuals often use to guilt trip someone into silence around the offense. “If you forgive, then we can’t talk about it anymore. You have to forget.” Is…
How Do I Get Past My Guilt Over Marrying the Wrong Man
Morning friend, In a few days, we will be into a New Year. What kind of year would you like to create for yourself? (Pause…and answer that question please). You don’t have total control of all of your external circumstances, but you do have a say on how you will see them, handle them, or whether or not you will…
What Do I Do When Someone Keeps Bringing Up My Sins?
Morning friend, Have you been practicing gratitude this week? I hope so. It’s a game-changer when you faithfully practice it. Studies show that we all have limited attention.

Morning friend, I was reading in the book of Job and came across this passage: “He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong, and rescues them from the clutches of the powerful. And so at last the poor have hope, and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.” Job 5:15. Three things came to mind as…
My Husband Is On The Spectrum. I Feel Guilty Leaving.
Morning friends, I’ve been practicing living more in the moment lately and I have to tell you it’s freeing. When I can stop worrying about the future or regretting or ruminating about the past, there is a lot to enjoy and be grateful for right now. For example, I was taking a bath, something I rarely do, but had played…
Do I Have A Biblical Right To Say No To Sex?
Morning friends, Thanks for your participation on the blog. That’s what makes the community. Can you believe I’ve been doing a weekly blog for over 10 years? We’ve made some progress in educating Christians and the church regarding the reality of abuse in marriage. But even on this blog, we still hear from people who believe that it’s more important…
Even Christian Counselors Need Help
Morning friends, I hope you have had a chance to watch my FB live on the statement John MacArthur made, that “Empowered women create weak men.” If you didn’t watch it, you can still see it here. Once a year I offer my six-month coaching group Empowered to Change for women who want to write a new chapter in their…
