When Survival Takes Over: Breaking the Freeze Response in a Marriage Marked by Anger and Fear
Hello friend, I hope this summer has given you at least a few real moments of joy, sunshine, and some actual peace.

I Hate My Ex Husband and Can’t Stop
Morning friend, Emotions can be wonderful and terrible — sometimes at the same time. We experience the joy of love, beauty, gratitude, and wonder, and we feel the pain of rejection, betrayal, injustice, illness, and life being hard.

I Can’t Say Anything Right. Help
I am traveling this week, so I’d appreciate your prayers.

Is Numbed Out Better Than Feeling Sad?
Morning friends, I’ve recently started taking my 3 granddaughters, ages 9, 8, and 7 hiking over Christmas vacation. Our first hike was short, about 1 and a half miles and easy.

I Hate Me And I Love Him – What’s Wrong?
Morning friends, Great news. The Village Church has apologized to Karen Root and agreed that their tactics were controlling and harsh when they implemented church discipline against her for having the State of Texas annul her marriage to Jordan Hinkley after she discovered him viewing child pornography. Karen has graciously accepted their apology and the church promised to review cases…
Moving Beyond The Blame Game
Morning friends, I wish I could meet all of you. You bless my heart the way you encourage, strengthen and support one another. Maybe someday we can have a retreat, or conference where we can all come together and meet one another, give each other a hug, have fun, share our growth and our struggles, pray together and continue to…
I’ve Been Hit, Cheated On, And I Asked Him Those Three Questions. Now What?
Hi Friends, Please pray for me. I need to carve out more time for God, more time for solitude, more time for exercise, more time for quality writing and yet, my plate is full of wonderful opportunities that are hard to let go of or ignore. Pray I have wisdom to know what needs to go, so that I may…
