I have taken in so many wonderful tips and ideas from Thin Within over the years. But I have a hard time actually implementing some of them at the moment I most need them, especially if I’m dealing with something hard – or a pile-up of “something hard’s”! You know what, I don’t even have […]
One thing I noticed is that, at different stages and seasons of life, I find myself saying to people “I wish I had known then what I know now.” But the reality is that, even if I had been told some great words of wisdom or knowledge “back then,” I would not have been ready […]
I looked back at when I was having panic attacks and had a very candid talk with myself today about them. God told me to stop watching all those horrible murder shows on the ID channel that I was watching regularly. I didn’t see anything wrong with them, but it was harmful to my spirit. […]
I have become quite a fan of specialty coffee! Peppermint mochas, in particular. Iced or hot, both are at the very top of my list of “Ways to Pamper Myself.” Massages, manicures, facials, and pedicures are also on that list, too!

These can help you get a breakthrough in an area of your life that is currently tripping you up, keeping you bound, or bringing you confusion or downright misery. A Truth List is […]
I want to tell you a story, a true story I will call “My Jonah Story.” I must advise that this story is a bit dire and messy so a word of caution while reading if you will! So, if you’re still with me, here goes: I just finished reading the book of Jonah. […]
When I got up that morning, five years ago today, my life changed forever. As I was walking down the hallway, God said to me, “Go to the emergency room.” As soon as He said that, I immediately asked Sam to take me. Not knowing the outcome, I went, and God spared my life. I […]
