Rekindle the Wonder

Memories flood most of us during this time of year. We begin by remembering Jesus’s birth – the true reason for this season. Gratitude and awe at the humility of our King of Kings – who was born in a manger – and purposed to live so He could die to bring those who believe eternal life with Him.

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ~ Isaiah 9:6 NKJV

When You Don’t Know What to Say

I’m a communicator by nature… all about significance and purpose, inspiring others to take action.  Lately I just don’t have it in me. I sit at my keyboard wondering what value I have to offer my readers and I come up empty. It’s not the first time I’ve walked through a dry creative season.  Experience tells me it won’t last long.  I’m guessing some of you can relate.

Whatever… Is it time to empty your Whatever folder?

I took a walk down memory lane this morning in search of an old post in my Life Coach Maggie Facebook Page.  This took me down several bunny trails – some of you, like me,  travel those trails frequently.  As happens often, I got distracted and quite frankly can’t remember what I was searching for to begin with.  Instead, I ran across one of my early live Facebook videos.   While still an amateur at this, I chose to share it here because the message is worth repeating.

When Love is Not Enough

For many, there comes a time when we realize that our love for another human being may not be enough to meet the need before us.  We strive to do the impossible to overcome the obstacles.  Self-sacrifice comes easily the more intense our love. But then one day we realize that we are not making progress. In fact we may very well be retracing the same steps. We may also discover that we’ve lost our very essence somewhere along the way.

Procrastination… All About You!

“Enough already!” …said Coach Maggie to herself this morning. “#Stop wasting time!”

Procrastination – There are days when I give myself permission to meander through the morning… allowing inspiration and creativity some space to thrive. Then there are other days when I catch myself procrastinating… knowing full well that I have a task to accomplish and doing everything possible to avoid it.

Who can relate? Am I the only one wasting time? Well… today is my writing day. Have I mentioned that God is birthing a book in me? It’s quite the adventure this writing business. It takes you places you never imagined you would go. More about that below…

Mind Your Own Calling

Have you ever seen a hawk in action?  They roam the airways always attentive to what matters most to them – prey. We have a couple of resident hawks on our property. I had the privilege of witnessing a hawk swoop down to capture a snake. Suspicious of my presence, he perched on a tree branch – snake secure in his claws – watching me attentively. Dog leash in one hand

Catapulted! Out of my Comfort Zone

Catapulted! Have you ever experienced a God promotion? Those times when you feel He has moved you to the front of the line?

Out of my comfort zone! God’s call came through loud and clear in prison. What? Yes. I met Carol Kent, the founder and director of the Speak Up Conference at a Toastmasters Gavel Club event at Hardee Correctional, a men’s prison.
