Need To Relax
Morning friends,
I am in sunny Florida and have been working hard to relax. Yes, that is a challenge for me to just let go and take time for me. So I am practicing what I tell many of you and doing some self-care. Therefore, not to stress myself out trying to write a blog today and just ask you to pray for me that my time this week is everything I need it to be.
Leslie

Does My Husband Get The Final Say?
Morning friends, I’m heading to Chicago to spend some time with my parents and family for a few days before going to Canada for some meetings. But I want to invite you to a very special FB Live tomorrow (Thursday, August 15) at noon ET with my guest Mary DeMuth. Mary’s a prolific author and…
Staying Well
Morning friends, Well, my front yard IS looking better. Change is taking place and I like what’s happening. Perhaps that’s a good picture for your life. You took a good hard look at what you saw and didn’t like what was staring back at you. It was time to remove the deadwood, the diseased and…
How can I tell if my daughter’s boyfriend is abusing her?
Q. My 16 year old daughter is dating someone and I’m concerned that it’s not a healthy relationship. He calls all the time and seems very possessive and jealous. She seems as obsessed with him as he is with her but I’m worried. How will I know if she is being mistreated or abused and…
Leslie:
I’m glad that you are getting that rest. You are well deserving. I think we as women often don’t feel right unless we are doing. We need time to celebrate life and the beauty that God has given us in this world. It is ok. The rest of the world will cope for a few days. I guarantee we will all be here when you get back
Enjoy the sunshine. Wave at my daughter who lives in Orlando if you pass by that area.
Brenda
Brenda – I had to laugh when you said you’d still be here when I get back. My husband was the one who insisted I didn’t need to write a blog this week. He said, “Don’t you get a week off?” Of course, but writers always worry that those who read won’t be back. Thanks for your encouragement to let it go. It is God’s blog and not mine.
I’m always glad to help and encourage,Leslie. I’m sure it was God’s design, not mine.
you go, girl! enjoy every second … it truly is ok! and needed, yes?
thanks LInda – I did need it.
Hooray for self care! Hooray for pedicures! (Lovely toes.)
The pedicure was the first part of my “vacation” but it was lovely and relaxing.
yeaa Miss leslie, take the time… I am so happy for you…the surf is relaxing to hear, the smell is cleansing and the warmth of the sand is comforting. just enjoy yourself cuz god is in control (and I often forget that)…yeaa for you…janet
Thanks Janet, It was just what I needed. Warmth, sunshine, ocean and rest. Perfect.
Leslie:
Thank you for modeling what you teach! I’m thankful that you are ‘letting go and taking time to do some self-care’, practicing what you tell many of us.
That shows alot of integrity and great leadership, which I am also learning to implement by reading your materials 🙂
Have a wonderful, refreshing, relaxing and rejuvinating vacation.
Deb
Thanks Deb. Even my internet wouldn’t work on vacation which was God’s way of keeping me still and out of “work mode”
Nice, Hope you have a great time! Will lift up prayers for you! If you must feel like you are accomplishing something, maybe think of it as a FAST from busyness 🙂
God Bless!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your articles, posts and blogs thus far but this was by far and large my favorite. All I can say is Go Girl! Well done. Enjoy your week and will be praying for you!
