My hope is that as you open your heart and mind to new possibilities, as you become MINDFUL of feeding the “good wolf” in you. The good that is in you. The GOOD that is YOU.

Messy? Yes, life is one big mess! We spend our time mopping the floor with our tears and sweeping the remnants of healing.

I have never regretted a tear, a smile or an apology. Those are the gems of a life freely lived. A real, authentic life.

Sometimes we find our greatest joy in a moment of full surrender. Sometimes we find our greatest strength when we feel our weakest. Sometimes we find our greatest love for ourselves when we feel most broken.

I’m hoping that when things settle down, I can still find the comfort that this Southern country store offered during my kids’ growing years. That it will be there waiting for us with the rocking chairs waiting upfront, the scent of childhood candies and scented candles in the front store, the cozy wood-burning fireplace, the hustle and bustle to serve the best comfort food in this part of our world, and the lovely southern voice that comes with hospitality.

As we kneel in humble gratitude, fill our hearts with joy and inspiration as we acknowledge how blessed we are to belong in Your flock. Fill us with Your love that we may share with others whatever we have, no matter how small nor insignificant they may be—with deep gratitude and joy, in Your mighty name, Amen.
