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.

Procrastination – There are days when I give myself permission to meander through the morning… allowing inspiration and creativity some space to thrive.

Struggling to stay focused on your goals? Seem to keep circling back to the same place? Have you been taking some seemingly innocent detours and suddenly find yourself back on the road to “Same ole, same ole”? You are not alone. Many of us have walked that labyrinth of disappointments. What keeps us from moving forward on our goals?

Sometimes I don’t know which road I should take. It gets especially challenging when I allow the voices of past failures to challenge my plans for a New Beginning – or perhaps a Do Over!
My 2015 year-end sabbatical came early. Early Fall after a cross-country RV adventure, I came face-to-face with all the exits and detours that had slowly moved me away from God’s next best step in my life. Yes, even good choices can keep us from God’s BEST choice. Facing your choices,
