When I first started being a full-time homemaker, it became a snare to me.  I was very hard on myself and put alot of expectations on myself that were not from God.  My husband would get up early in the morning and go to work and I always felt like I couldn't sleep late.  Not that I got up with him but I remember feeling guilty if I slept past like 9:00am.  Honestly, I felt guilty doing alot of things.  Things that if I could of done freely, I would probably be a lot further then I am now in my writing and other giftings that God has given me.  I spent 2 days a week at home cleaning.  The other 3 days, I struggled.  When I would go to the bookstore to read, I felt guilty.  I would think "Is it fair that I get to relax at the bookstore while my husband out working to provide for us?".  Sometimes I would want to go to the Amish market and eat breakfast.  They had a restaurant in the Amish market with great breakfast.  I would ...

Honest Moment - I have struggled with "Social Media".  It's very overwhelming for me and overstimulating.  I don't think Social Media is bad and I do know there is usefulness in it.  But there is so much information coming at you, 24/7.  Truly the "Information Highway".  In addition to that, you have a lot of "coaches" out there.  Not that "coaching" is bad, but there are so many telling you you need to do this or "no, you need to do that".  There is profit in all of it but I just think we each have to find the right fit for us.  While social media has it's benefits, there are also some downfalls to it.  It has contributed to increased depression in some people.  For some of our young people, they think social media is "real life" and "real relationships".  As a result they can tend to ignore the people and the things around them.  Adults do it to.  Social Media can be addictive if your not careful.  It...

From the time I was very young I believed in what I called a "a free marketplace".  I believed that everyone had something unique to offer to the world.  I believed that there was space in the marketplace, for everyone, to offer their product or service.  Even more so now, than ever, I feel like there is a special place for anyone who wants to offer their God given gifts, in the marketplace.  With the advancement of Social Media, it does challenge us to be creative as opposed to competitive.  I also think it inspires us to care.  To offer ourselves because we care.  The only way to do that, on social media, is to do whatever it is that we love.  Talk about what you love doing.  Talk about what you love being involved in.  Whether you are talking about business or your kids, that love is an energy that comes through on social media.  Love is an energy. It is a force.  It is the most powerful force in the universe.  Any busi...
