No comments FAITH
Hope
Growing up, I often heard my father say, “Keep your faith strong and your hopes high!”
As a little girl, I didn’t quite understand what this expression meant, but I always loved to hear him say it. As an adult, I came to understand how important it was to “keep my faith strong and my hopes high” as the disappointments and challenges of life started to.

No comments The Free Gift
Who doesn’t like receiving gifts? I certainly do, and so does everyone else I know!
Gifts have a way of making us feel loved and special. Throughout the years, I have learned an expensive gift doesn’t necessarily make you happier. In fact, the best gifts I have received have been relatively inexpensive, but it was the thoughtfulness behind the gift that warmed my heart.
We all have.

No comments Storms Take Us Higher
Have you ever had a friend that just changed on you?
You know, they just flipped the script on you. You thought everything was going well, then all of a sudden things changed. You sat back and shook your head in disbelief.
That’s what God just did to me. I thought I knew him then he flipped the script and took our relationship to another level, without.

No comments Little Italy Hosts its Annual Feast
Imagine that you live in a cultural garden of rich heritage steeped in religious tradition. For 114 years, Italian immigrants carved businesses and neighborly connections with each other in Cleveland's Little Italy.
They lived side by side in a small "grotto" or neighborhood in the huge city. They learned the new language from each other, yet settled down at home to speak to each other in a native.

Being in this workshop has.

No comments Honesty
You have to be honest with yourself first and then have that attribute with others. It starts at home and within yourself. I never was the person to lie. When I did try, I got caught. I am not a good liar. Some people will stand in front of your face and lie or look you dead in your eyes and lie, too. That just shows.

No comments Expressions of Success
Everyday we have experiences we do want and experiences we do not want. This is known as deliberate creation versus miscreation. To deliberately create, we must disregard how things are and focus only on how we want them to be. Focusing only on how we want things to be must become habit until success happens.
You must be before you can do. That means to accomplish anything.
