In Him she lives, and moves, and has her being. Acts 17:28
Ever feel like the things you loved to do are now just too wearisome? I have been there in both my writing and other tasks for the past month. I present to you a spark of motivation again, hidden within the words of this poem. If you've ever lost a beloved pet and then dared to love again, this post is for you. Or you'll be able to understand the feelings of someone close to you who will go through the same. Caution...cute doggie pictures at the end. You have been warned.

We were assigned a limit of 300-600 words. I am not one word over. As you read my fairy tale, you'll notice the same parallel. Have fun reading a true, little tale about little Aleisha and the night of the Christmas alarm.

It's available and revealed in a special and unexpected way this year. The joy can not be stopped.
Read MoreI'm so "this". I'm so "that". What do you do with those ugly statements you believe about yourself? Sometimes a reminder of the answer arrives in the mail.

Read MoreHas shame attached itself to some part of the story of your life? Yes. Mine, too. Yet, one baton passed to me changed my trajectory, although I wouldn't see it until twenty years later.
Read MoreDo you struggle in making decisions? Me, too! Is there hope for us? Certainly! I hope my story encourages you in this area!
Read MoreAre you desperately trying to motivate yourself into a different way of behavior? I was, and it reaped some shackling consequences. How can you slip out from under the heavy weight of that which you carry? Read on. I will share my story with you.
