The Glorious Unbecoming – Part II [Guest Post]

By Leslie Vernick | January 11, 2017 |

Morning friends, Thanks so much for your prayers. My dad got out of the rehab center last Wednesday and I was able to fly home and leave him and my stepmother in the able care of another sibling. We are praying he will grow stronger again and they will be able to continue to live independently. There has been quite…

The Glorious Unbecoming Part I [Guest Post]

By Leslie Vernick | January 4, 2017 |

Morning friends, I’m in Chicago this week helping out my parents as my dad recovers from surgery. We would appreciate your prayers for his recovery. It’s taken much longer than usual and at 86 years old, he’s doing great, but it has been much harder than he planned. One of my personal goals this year is to make more and…

Are Negative Consequences Unbiblical?

By Leslie Vernick | December 28, 2016 |

Morning friends, I am having a great week here in Arizona with my three loves. We are baking, taking walks, playing games, telling stories, talking and loving each other. They are so darn cute. When I was cooking a turkey breast for Christmas dinner, I opened the oven and my middle granddaughter, Leilani, said “What are you cooking Nana?” I…

By Leslie Vernick | December 14, 2016 |

Morning friends, Sheesh, I can’t believe Tuesday snuck up on me already. We had such a terrific response to our webinar and subsequent videos, The Three Lies Women Believe that Keep them Stuck, Afraid and Miserable. If you’re interested in joining our six month coaching program starting in January, you can get more information by clicking here. I thought it…

Do I Owe My Husband An Apology?

By Leslie Vernick | December 7, 2016 |

Morning friends, This weekend represented one of the reasons I moved to Arizona. The weather was absolutely spectacular. It was sunny and 70 degrees. Back in Pennsylvania, it was cold, dreary and raining and I was glad I was gone. My bones ache in that kind of weather and I crave the warmth and the sunshine. But my body has…

Holiday Boundaries. My Husband Is Rude With Our Company

By Leslie Vernick | November 30, 2016 |

Morning friends, We arrived at our new home in Arizona! Our daughter’s family was here as was our son. We managed to cook a Thanksgiving meal and used real dishes and silverware (I just can’t eat the Thanksgiving meal off paper plates). But everything is in chaos and it’s a challenge figuring out where to put things from a 4-bedroom…

My Husband Looks At Other Women And I’m Told I’m Crazy

By Leslie Vernick | November 23, 2016 |

Morning friend, I am in route, driving across the country to Arizona. We started in Pennsylvania (where it was freezing and snowing), drove through West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, (where I am right now). Then on to Texas, New Mexico and finally Arizona. We hope to arrive today just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. Our…

How Do I Help A Friend Who Isn’t Strong Enough

By Leslie Vernick | November 16, 2016 |

Morning friends, The POD is gone. It was packed to the brim and is being transported to Arizona. It will arrive the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It is amazing how much stuff you can fit into an 8 x 8 x 16 foot box. Thankfully we had a wonderful neighbor who stopped by towards the end and bought many large items…

Don’t Leave Home Without It, Part 2

By Leslie Vernick | November 9, 2016 |

Morning friends, This week is pack up the POD week to ship to Arizona. I’ve cancelled most of my coaching appointments so I can focus on packing and throwing out or giving away the rest of our worldly goods. It’s cleansing to go through all one’s treasures and evaluate whether or not something important enough to keep and pay money…
