Looking back on the highs and low, the peaks and valleys, that I’ve experienced in life so far, thankfully I’m finally able to put some of the guiding secrets I’ve used in writing.
When we think about our strengths and weaknesses, well, I tend to forget the extremely strong spiritual foundation I grew up on. That has been my secret to finding peace in the storms, God’s peace.
I am not the first to go through whatever I’m going through, and I won’t be the last. The only difference between us is how we handle it. I really want to share the story of the old hymn, “It is Well with My Soul” here, written by Horatio G. Spafford in 1873 after losing all his five children.

The book of hymns “Then Sings My Soul, Volume One” does such a great job of telling the true story behind each song. Today, this one hits me especially close, and I definitely want to share. When a song can give you goosebumps, I take that as a definite “share” sign!

Today, I’m choosing to be thankful for my path, no matter what obstacle’s I’ve had to overcome. It’s in the journey,….something I need to keep telling myself.
Live, Laugh, Love with everything you’ve got while you still can! 💜✨ Thank you so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate and value you all here.
