The words we speak are important in this healing and life-changing process. What is on your mind always comes out of your mouth as a positive or negative verbal expression. My husband and I attended a class on Sunday mornings for seven years called Biblical Principles of Success. This insightful class taught us if we […]
As Easter season is here, I am briefly reminded what a mess I used to be. However, my past doesn’t matter because of the gift and sacrifice God made for you and I. So much to be thankful for, I’m re-posting Freedom to Forgive Yourself. May you receive God’s unconditional love and forgiveness—now forgive yourself. […]
Women who struggle with their body image too often take those issues into their bedroom. Women naturally want to feel attractive, especially during intimacy.

Sometimes our own insecurities get in the way and cause us to incorrectly prejudge other women. Whether it is something about […]
A woman cannot live under the pressure of continuous self-condemnation. It has to stop.
