I am a crazy, fun, creative Coloradan who has a lot to share about Living and loving and learning! >
I want to help you
live more joyfully,
change your attitude about getting older
And give you tons of tips that can help you thrive in your third act of life >
Living
“There are far better things ahead than what we leave behind.” C.S. Lewis >
Every day is a gift >
Make your life a masterpiece >
Hard events in my life can either make me bitter or better; the choice is mine. >
Being grateful gets me through the hard times. >
You can never measure a life by how long it was, but by how much that person made a difference. >
No one is immune to bad things happening to them. The trick is to realize God can use it for good. >
Loving
Love is an action word: it always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love is God’s greatest command to us — so we should have no problem telling everyone who God has placed in our life that we love them, but more importantly, we should act out those three words!
“Being fully known and understood requires that we say aloud to someone else what is going on in our souls.” Milan Yerkovick, author of How We Love.
I believe that God’s love is always enough and no matter what I have done or have not done ,He loves me just the same.
When I can get over myself and forgive someone, I discover true freedom.
It is never too late to repair a broken relationship, if both are willing. But it takes a lot of work.
Learning
“Jump in with all of yourself, everything you have and everything you are” Jennie Allen, author of Made for This.
Don’t give up learning new things.
I need to remind myself daily that the same God who is holding the universe is holding me.
God has so much to say to me if I remain still and quiet long enough to listen.
I don’t have to understand everything God is doing , I just need to remember that He knows what He is doing.
It is just stuff — so get rid of what you aren’t using and simplify your life as much as you can.
I am learning that life comes with lemons, but I don’t have to suck on them.
The only thing I can really change in my life is my attitude.
I have learned that the best things in life aren’t things
I am learning that to be my best I need to be able to handle what life throws at me
