Should I Apologize to Someone with a Victim Mentality?
Hello Friends! It’s Coach Susan taking the opportunity to write the blog for Leslie Vernick and & Co. this week. Here in Michigan, I am finally coming out of what feels like a long winter. The dreary rain and rumbling storms are announcing that spring is here. I have been giving myself pep talks this week. Do you also find…

Hello my friends, 2023 is here… How’s it going? Perhaps you, like me, could use a little pep talk? Okay, Here we go. You are stronger than you think.

Read MoreMy Husband Doesn’t Speak To Me. Do I Have To Have Sex?
Morning friends, Went for another hike last weekend with friends. This time, someone knew where we were going and so all I had to do was follow. What a great illustration for us and Jesus.

Morning friends, I hope you had a relaxing and fun Labor Day weekend. The weather was beautiful here in the White Mountains and I probably walked close to 20 miles over the 3-day weekend.

It’s just like having a baby except you can put it in…

Morning friends, I just returned from our family vacation from Hawaii. We cruised all of the islands. My favorites were Maui and Kauai. We took a bicycle ride down the mountain in Maui which was quite fun and saw some beautiful beaches and attended a Luau. But I think my favorite thing was watching my granddaughters enjoy the new experiences.…

Morning friends, I’m back from my little cabin in the woods where it was cool and quiet and now in my hot but thankfully air-conditioned home in the Phoenix area. I will miss it there. It’s just a tiny cabin but there was something quite peaceful about being there. Next summer I hope to spend a few months up…
Read MoreMy Mother Has Crossed The Line, But Did I Overreact?
Morning friends, I have to tell you all again how much I appreciate the love, support, and care that you give to one another. I try to read every response even though I don’t always have time to personally comment. You all make me proud. I love to see how you take what Satan would love to crush you with,…

Morning friends, I love you all. I love your heart. I love how you spend so much of your precious time helping one another, sharing your stories, resources and heart with one another.
