Courage is not about finding the strength to go on. It is about choosing to take the challenging path rather than the easy way out. And I have never seen anyone who has more courage than Diana! She is fighting every day to get stronger and be able to return home to her family. The past few days, she has been treated to a “spa day” by her sister and the hospital staff, taken several…
It is not lost on me that certain words can have multiple meanings. For example, the word present can mean current and in attendance. That same exact word can also mean a gift or offering.

So take just a few minutes to yourself, grab a cup of something that you enjoy and relax. Then think…
Life is a series of learning experiences, happy accidents, and sometimes painful events. But each one will provide you with a much-needed piece of the puzzle. It is then up to you to decide how you will assemble the pieces that you have gathered and what you will create in your life.
True friends are the ones who had their hand out to offer you help when you were struggling but don’t ask for anything in return when you have become a huge success. They will cheer for you and celebrate your success, but they never try to profit from it. But should the tide turn and you find yourself struggling again, a true friend will be there to help you pick up the pieces before you…
Every success story begins with hopes, dreams, plans, and one sometimes timid, small step forward. But as your steps increase, so will your confidence. Until one day, you are making huge strides with the utmost confidence. And you have become an unstoppable force.
Your prayers and words of encouragement and support are keeping Diana’s spirits up! She is working hard every day and making progress.

She is not giving up, and we can’t stop praying for her recovery. Today,…
Worry is just a complete waste of time. As a former worrywart, I can tell you all that anxiety just simply wears you out! I used to get worked up over how things were going to turn out.

When you approach a boundary or roadblock on your journey, understand that it might slow your progress, but it will only stop you if you are willing to give in to it. Prepare to go around, over, or even under it. You might need to work a little bit harder or longer, but you can move past any obstacle. Never believe that anything can stop you. Only you have the power to stop your progress.
