Want A Less-Stressed Life Right About Now? Join the Online Bible Study


Has your life felt like mine from time to time: stressed-mis/managed, overwhelming etc? Do you also experience anxiety, worry, depression, fearfulness and perhaps a sense of 'I'll never get it right'? Do you also feel like you're in this photo above; in a deserted, rugged, island tossed to and fro by winds and waves?
Oh dear Christian Sister, you are not alone and WE are not helpless nor defenseless against these onslaughts in our thoughts and minds and emotions and our 'outer life'.

God never abandons us, He always has wisdom for our situations and He always has a solution to our problems and difficulties. And also, thankfully, He raises up other Sisters who have walked in and through their own difficult, stressful life situations and who have the ability to write about it and share it with the rest of us.

Tracie Miles is one of these Sisters and her book that I've read and written a review on is titled:

Stressed-Less Living: Finding God's Peace In Your Chaotic World




Read my 5 Star Review of Tracie's book on Amazon.com: 

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have, must-read, must-share transforming book!


Have you ever participated in an Online Bible Study of a book? I have and it's such a great support system that offers discussion, privacy, confidentiality, mutual prayer and support and potential new friendships with new Sisters in Christ. What I really appreciated is that instead of doing it alone on my own, I requested to be placed in a facebook group of women where I could share, discuss, ask questions, pray for others and ask for prayer too!

If you have a sense that NOW is that kairos time that you need support, prayer and a new mindset to invite the God of order and peace into your seemingly world of chaos and unrest, I invite and encourage you to sign up to participate in the online bible study of this book to begin on April 7!

Focus on Emotional and Mental Health


Hi Readers,

In the next weeks I am going to focus lots of posts on Emotional and Mental Health and I will surely also welcome your comments and experiences with Natural Health Supplements as well as utilizing food as 'medicine'. In other words, consuming specific foods that contain specific nutrients that aid in enhancing mood, memory, energy levels, attitude, sleep patterns, positive thoughts and emotions and also chemical imbalances.

I realize there are varied views and opinions on these topics in the improvement of mental, emotional and brain health. That's one reason we can 'discuss' and 'share' these here and on Facebook/Twitter.

I am on a personal quest in these areas and have begun my regimen of supplements and food. Prior to posting anything specific, I am going to journal each day on my perceptions, feelings, reactions and improvements. When I have had adequate time to document improvements and changes, I will then be open about the specifics of my protocol.



Here's a quote from my article, "Lifestyle Wellness":

"Wellness is about TOTAL YOU, but it is not achieved by accident; just picking the examples of wellness that you like and minimizing the other, doesn't work in the long run.

Optimal lifestyle wellness begins with a conscious, intentional decision or choice to assume responsibility for the quality of your life."

It may mean raising your standards above what you have been comfortable with. 
It will require 
 time,
commitment, 
energy, 
motivation and
attitude." 

Passion Flowers -- Central Florida

I am hopeful and expectant of improvements, differences and changes and will welcome all of them, minor or major. Always, my heart's desire is for wellness, wholeness, sustainable lifestyle changes and spiritual growth for ALL of us, so we can be the best we can for those in our lives and ultimately for the glory of God. 

Christ in us is hope; it is the knowledge and faith of His ever-present help in our times of crises, trouble, distress, stress, imbalance, illness and even chemical imbalance. He is our wisdom and the source of all knowledge. I am confident He can lead each one of us in the exact path we should go to journey towards His wellness plan for us.

Will you join me?
