Amazing opportunities come often as a result of being consistent in the work you are doing to bless others. Recently, I was asked to write my story for a chapter in an Anthology about RBG’s (Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s) effect on women’s rights.
I’m excited to share my view of what a true inspiration she was for me. I admire how she effectively stood up for Principle.
The book will be launched on Thursday, June 24th for a special rate of $1.99 USD (but only the low price for the first 24-48 hours)
So please, mark your calendar for our incredibly special day and watch for my posts on June 24th!
Learning to Acknowledge Our Gifts and Talents and Those of Others
I recently read an article by Thomas Nelson that connected with me on several levels and reaches my gifts to help people “Clarify Their Calling Gift”.
Nelson said, “We can find freedom in acknowledging our differences — and freedom feels good.” And, “The reality is, however, that our gifts are often for the benefit of others.”
I’ve always believed my gifts and talents are definitely for the benefit of those around me and I openly share my gifts in a number of ways. Many of my clients are women and at times we struggle identifying and sharing our gifts as God meant. I agree with Nelson that we can sometimes feel envious of other’s gifts and talents and fail to acknowledge the difference in our gifts and how best to use them for the betterment of ourselves and others.
Isn’t it time to re-discover your new niche career? Don’t let the pandemic keep you from reaching your goals and sharing those gifts and talents that make you the special individual you were meant to be.

Do You Know Your Godly Heritage? Finding Your Own Footsteps.
Have you ever thought I am just like my dad, mom, aunt or any other relative? Or perhaps someone said to you that you were just like a family member. When my siblings and I were young, we would cringe at the thought of being just like someone else if we felt the comparison was not very flattering.
Did you know that you have a goodly heritage as stated in the Bible? Yes, it’s true! We are God’s image and likeness and so are our parents. But we don’t look to the flesh for evidence of this because God is Spirit. (John 4:24)
You are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. (Rom 8:9)
It is more fun and exciting to see our Godly, and Goodly heritage. How do you reflect your Divine Father? Are you good at sports, that takes balance and coordination? Do you love music, art, or anything that is creative?
David wrote the Psalms and played the harp. Exodus:35 tells us that we are filled with the Spirit of God, with ability, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanshipto devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze. Maybe you are good at math and science. Have you ever read the description of making the Ark of the Covenant that held the Ten Commandments? Those instructions were precise and required a lot of measuring.
Whatever your talents are, they came from God. We inherit all good from God.
As they say, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” No! not that apple in the garden of Eden, but the apple of God’s eye, “You”.

In the past few years, I had the privilege of meeting with teenage girls in my home. “Privileged?” you might ask.
These extraordinary young women all struggled with an answer to the same question: what should I do with the rest of my life? The need to explore this quest happened within minutes of us sitting down at my dining room table.
The answer, of course, is not to focus on “the rest of your life” but what to do next. These girls were international students, missionaries, and high schoolers, all from different backgrounds. It gave me an opportunity to listen to their stories, interests, and frustrations which resulted in a deep conversation to help them clarify their calling.
So, what does “Clarify your Calling” exactly mean? When any endeavor seems complicated, obscure or confusing, the starting point to shed light on the subject is to listen, uncover, and illumine all the elements that make each one of us unique. I listen for what makes an individual enthusiastic about the story they are telling. I watch the way their eyes light up when something is important, and how excited they are to share it. Then I ask questions that help a person to gain insight into their distinct purpose.
Everyone has a “Calling” or “Divine Design” that makes them of great value. It is easy for us to “miss the mark” and try to create our own blueprint without God’s help.
But If your heart’s desire is to find the calling that God has ordained for your life in order to experience the glories of His plan, it is easy if you daily start your prayers with “Thy will be done” Then ask God what He wants you to accomplish that day for His glory and guide you towards the next step to embracing the role you were born to play. Listen! “Your own ears will hear Him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go, whether to the right or to the left.” Isaiah 30:21
