My Life: Purposeful Living Series
Part 1- For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV).
Do you truly believe in your promise. Do you find joy in this promise. Many times we lose focus on our purpose. Not the outward purpose...but your inner purpose. The purpose that gives you joy, hope, peace, love, and confidence.
Let's take time to focus on "JOY". The biblical definition of joy says that joy is a feeling of good pleasure and happiness that is dependent on the Holy Spirit rather than who we are or what is happening around us. Joy comes by abiding in God's presence and from hope in HIs word.
Take time to claim your Joy! Look in the mirror and smile at yourself. Look into your eyes and see yourself...love yourself. Exhale the burdens. Inhale prosperity. Say this with command, "The joy of the Lord is my strength," (Nehemiah 8:10 NIV)
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit," Romans 15:13 (NIV)
This special word is dedicated to the Henderson family, Harris family, Wright family, Drake family and the Sood family. May God strengthen you and provide you peace during your time of bereavement.

Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
Sometimes we forget what our Lord has promised us. We live our lives as if we are on a hamster wheel. It may seem we have lost our purpose...our joy...our self love.

Are You Feeling the Winter Blues? Let’s talk about it 💙

As the days get shorter and darker, it’s completely normal to feel “off” — more tired, less motivated, a little down. But if your mood really shifts this time of year, it could be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression linked to changes in light.

Here’s what’s going on (in simple terms):
Less sunlight = less serotonin (your feel-good chemical).
More darkness = more melatonin (your sleep hormone), so you feel extra tired.
Changes in dopamine can affect motivation and focus.
You might notice:
🌧️ Feeling sad, low, or irritable
⚡ Low energy
🍞 Craving carbs or sweets
🛏️ Sleeping too much or not sleeping well
🧠 Trouble concentrating
🚶 Pulling away from people or activities

You’re not “being dramatic” — your brain and body are literally reacting to the season.

Things that can help:
☀️ Get sunlight when you can (morning light is best)
💡 Consider light therapy (ask a doctor what’s safe for you)
🏃 Move your body regularly
🥗 Eat balanced meals
🕒 Keep a steady sleep routine
💬 Talk to a professional if it’s not getting better
✨ Don’t ignore these symptoms. SAD is real, common, and treatable.
📅 If this sounds like you, schedule an appointment with:

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE NOTICED...BUT THIS YEAR'S RHINOVIRUS/ENTEROVIRUS AS BEEN DISRESPECTFUL!
Here is a little information about the two:
🌡️ What You Should Know About Rhinovirus & Enterovirus 🤧
Ever wondered why you catch a “cold” or why kids sometimes get sick in the fall? Two common culprits are rhinoviruses and enteroviruses. Here’s what you need to know ⬇️
🦠 Rhinovirus
• #1 cause of the common cold.
• Spreads through coughing, sneezing, or touching contaminated surfaces.
• Symptoms: runny nose, sore throat, mild cough, sneezing, sometimes a low fever.
• Most people recover in 7–10 days, but wash hands often to avoid spreading it!
🦠 Enterovirus
• Shows up most in late summer and early fall.
• Can cause mild cold-like symptoms or tummy troubles.
• In kids, sometimes linked to hand-foot-and-mouth disease (small blisters in the mouth, on hands, and feet).
• Rarely, it may cause more serious problems, so keep an eye on high fevers, severe headache, or trouble breathing.
👶 Children vs. Adults
• Children get these viruses more often because their immune systems are still learning. They’re also in close contact at schools and playgrounds.
• Adults usually have milder symptoms, but they can still get sick and pass it along.
💡 Prevention Tips
• 🧼 Wash hands with soap and water often.
• 🚫 Don’t share cups, utensils, or water bottles.
• 🤧 Cover coughs and sneezes with your elbow or tissue.
• 🏃‍♂️ Stay active, eat healthy, and get plenty of rest to keep your immune system strong.
✅ Bottom Line
Most rhinovirus and enterovirus infections are mild and go away on their own. But if symptoms are severe, last longer than expected, or you’re worried—especially with children—contact your doctor.
