Aging is a given. Life without purpose and meaning is not. You wouldn’t show up at your job and just hang around until it was time to go home –just filling space.
Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we would have and enjoy life – in abundance – to overflowing. So, I ask, how’s life working for you? When you walk into a room, do you know that you make a difference? Is your abundance showing or are you just taking up space?

My new normal, is a popular expression that implies that what once was out of the norm is now considered normal. It’s about changes. We change our mind – how we see things. We change our actions – new habits, behaviors, where we live, who we live with and so much more. These changes can happen to us or we can choose to make them happen. The result is the same – life as we knew it is no longer.

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.

Oh look, a bird! These are the only words I remember from my college professor’s description of my personality traits. It fits me perfectly. Distractions often rob me of the value of the present. According to my assessment results, I’m described as enthusiastic, imaginative, energetic, creative, warm, future-oriented, caring, optimistic, possibility focused, open, spontaneous and playful.
Some of you relate. In fact, I imagine us sharing some high fives as we celebrate

Lord, give me eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart that loves – a big prayer – one I pray often for myself and others. On the surface it might appear somewhat general in nature. What or whom are we to see, hear or love? Why ask?
It’s about living on purpose…
I am convinced, backed by personal experience, that if I ignore God’s purpose for my life I will make a mess of my story. I have not always prayed for direction, waited for a response and acted on it. Truth. I have not always sought His will. How did that work for you Maggie? you might ask.
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.

What a morning! During the busyness of multi-tasking, the Lord shows up for me in a gentle whisper. I stop everything, grab my journal and wait – knowing full well that I’m about to receive a Heavenly download. It was an unexpected detour in an otherwise very structured day.
So much to do, I leave tomorrow for a Women’s weekend retreat. My internal Mary and Martha are at odds with each other. Perhaps you know their story…

“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…
