Yesterday I spoke at Catholic Women Zion retreat: “Cultivating a Life of Happiness, Gratitude & Inner Peace.”A common thread is the ability to live authentically; to be who God created you to be - His sacred child made in His image with unique personalities & talents THAT REFLECT HIS GOODNESS. Often we’re pressured by families, friends & society to conform to their demands of what is right. We’re not driven enough to achieve high levels of success; we need to look younger or dress a certain way. Those living simple lives are devalued by those living lives of luxury. Many succumb to these pressures & live in a way that contradicts their values. Those who fail to live authentically never find lasting happiness or inner peace.

Whenever I lecture, I infuse my stories of successes & failures. I hold back nothing. People appreciate my candor. (“You are totally relatable! I can see myself in you.”) I am who I am. I don’t hide my age (wrinkles & grey hair). I admit I’ve hurt people with my anger. I don’t like vacations. I don’t like being spoiled & I’m uncomfortable with luxury. I prefer manual labor to power tools. I am offended by vulgarity in sp*ech, dress & behavior. I am a devout Catholic who loves my faith & live to serve God. I’m outgoing & love people (I’m an anomaly in today’s world). I go out of my way to help total strangers & have endured the scowls of many for being myself.

It's taken a lot of years to show the world who I am. I love the person God created in me & now live my life to acknowledge her & honor Him. Anything less is an insult to the One who created me.
If you want greater happiness and inner peace in your life then be who you were created to be: a sacred creation of the God. EVERYTHING GOOD & WONDERFUL ABOUT YOU IS FROM HIM. Live to express your authentic self. Disregard the pressures of society. You are not here to please them. You are here to please God & to love yourself as you were made. To thine own self be true. But to God be truer.

Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully & wonderfully made; your works are wonderful I know that full well.”

“BE NOT AFRAID: Trusting God in Times of Loss & Uncertainty to Restore Purpose & Inner Peace”
Yesterday I spoke at a retreat on loss, hope, & healing. When we think of loss its typically the death of a loved one. But life is filled with losses that can lead to grief, fear, anger & emptiness. Loss of a job, our home, a relationship, one’s identity, financial stability or independence.
Loss: the removal or absence of someone or something we hold valuable, that matters to us. Loss is a process of transition which requires letting go of what is in order to receive what is meant to be for our higher good.

The process of growth can be difficult because we develop an attachment to what we have whether it be a person, material possession, lifestyle, etc. Letting go creates a void leading to feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, loneliness & sadness. When the loss is not by choice & we feel as though we have lost control over our lives it can lend itself to anxiety, anger, fear, resentment & depression.
The Bible instructs us to cling to nothing & no one.
1 Corinthians 7:31: "Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away".
Grief is an unavoidable part of life but it needn’t become a life sentence. For people of faith, we know that with God “all things are possible”. We grieve but don’t despair; we have faith that good will come out of our sadness; that God has a higher purpose for us. OUR GRIEF IS TEMPERED WITH HOPE IN GOD’S WORD.
Psalm 34:18-20, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted & saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken."
Give all your worries &sadness to God. Know that He loves you beyond measure & has a Divine Plan for each of us. Sometimes, He needs to rearrange our lives so we can fulfill His Will. I did & it was by far the smartest decision I ever made.
Isaiah 12:2 “I trust you to save me, Lord God & I won’t be afraid. My power & my strength come from you & you have saved me.”

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking to the residents at the Chelsea Senior Living Facility in Sparta on “Are You Absolutely Positive? How To Develop Your Negatives Into Positives.” What an awesome group of people! Here’s an excerpt regarding The Power of Choice and Belief:

The single most important choice we make in life is what we believe to be truth. Every decision we make is based on our belief systems. If I believe the world is a beautiful place filled with good people then I will seek all those things that support my truth: I will identify the beauty in nature, marvel at the architectural creations of man, identify acts of kindness performed by others. Conversely, I will dismiss or minimize that which contradicts my beliefs. I will choose to participate in and contribute to the beauty that surrounds me and continually validates my beliefs while avoiding or transforming what isn’t good and pure and lovely.

As a child were you told and shown how much you were loved, encouraged to try new things because you were qualified and worthy of what life has to offer? Or where you criticized, told you’d never amount to anything, made to believe others were better and more worthy than you? Were you taught to believe in God, a loving God, who created everything that ever was and will be? Or were you taught that there are multiple Gods for different purposes or that God does not exist?

Notice how each of your beliefs has impacted your life: for better or for worse? Periodically, it’s important to reexamine them to determine which are valid and which are incorrect. They are the very foundation upon which we build our lives. A faulty foundation cannot sustain us, will falter and eventually crumble leading to destruction. Conversely, a foundation of Truth will withstand any test and bless us with a remarkable life filled with joy, health, and success. I believe we were created to have remarkable lives. And it all begins with our beliefs. Choose them wisely.

I’m a sinner.
Recently I watched a video testimonial from a man who wanted to clear up a misconception about his decision to leave a homosexual lifestyle & return to his identity of a straight man. He stated he was not brainwashed by anyone but found healing in a Christian church that fully support the gay lifestyle.This is where he “came to Christ.” He surrendered his life to Jesus, read the Bible, & learned about sin. “I realized I was living outside His will for my life.” He left his sinful lifestyle because he “loved Jesus more” than sin.

I thought about my own life. I adore Jesus. I surrendered my life to Him over 40 years ago. I pray continually every day. My career, which God ordained 32 years ago, is devoted to sharing His Word; to being an instrument of His peace, healing & love. I share my knowledge and time freely with whomever requests it. I live a very generous, loving, peaceful existence. God is my life & I have devoted myself to serving Him. And yet I’m still a sinner.

Sin separates us from God. It prohibits us from fully sharing in His blessings & robs us of truly experiencing the peace & joy that only comes from being One with Him.

So why do I sin? I know what is morally right & what isn’t. I know what it’s like to resist temptation & follow His will & what it feels like to give in to my weaknesses & fail. I know what makes me feel good about myself & what fills me with shame. And still I sin.

I profess my love for Jesus but love isn’t what I feel or say. Love is what I do & some of my actions don’t support my feelings & words. “I was living outside His will for my life. I realized I loved Jesus more than sin.” These words really hit home with me. I don’t love my sinful ways more than Jesus yet my actions suggest that I do. While I need to work on being a better Christian, maybe the first step is to simply love Jesus more than my sin. Father God, give me a loving heart like your Son’s. Nothing less. Help me to be more like Jesus in every way. Amen.

Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.”

After a night of heavy drinking with his buddies, Joe left the bar, got into his brand new Mercedes, and put the key into the ignition. As he headed down the interstate, far exceeding the sp*ed limit, he lost control of his vehicle, hit the divider, and was ejected from his car. Paramedics rushed him to the local hospital in critical condition. Doctors worked frantically to save his life but in order to do so they had to amputate his left leg. Joe spend the next few weeks in a coma in ICU. When he awoke, doctors informed him of his current status. Joe was infuriated! Rather than be grateful for his surgeon’s difficult but necessary decision that saved his life, Joe was filled with rage. He cursed his doctors and the entire medical staff whose competency and care preserved his life. He called for the AMA to declare this doctor incompetent and demand that his license to practice medicine be revoked.

Eventually, Joe recovered but failed to ever take ownership for his role in this tragedy. Had Joe not walked into that bar on that Friday night, had Joe not drank excessively, had Joe not gotten into his own car to drive home, there would have been no accident. Joe would not have been injured nor had his leg amputated. Joe set this entire incident in motion by his poor decisions, causing a critical situation to occur, then blaming those who were asked to fix the mess and save his life; those who did the best they could given the horrific conditions they were handed.

Blame: a coward’s way of avoiding personal responsibility; an avoidance strategy that robs one of their personal power by holding others accountable for their mess, thus rendering them helpless victims.

Our prior administration allowed tens of millions of unvetted, undocumented non-citizens into our country illegally, many of whom are violent offenders. (These are facts not judgments.) Some states declared themselves sanctuary states offering protection even to those causing harm to others while failing to protect those who are deserving. They allowed chaos and destruction to reign putting innocent lives in danger (like Joe did). When higher authorities intervene to clean up the mess, save lives, and restore order (the medical staff), they condemn them, cause more danger and destruction, and attempt to harm them as well.

Had our former president not enabled this flood of illegals across our borders, if states had not declared themselves sanctuaries for dangerous criminals, if mayors had not prevented local law enforcement from doing their jobs, if states and local governments did not encourage their citizens to resist cooperating with federal law enforcement agencies, and if citizens would obey the law and simply not interfere with those called to do their lawful job OF KEEPING OUR CITIZENS SAFE, then no one would have lost anything - a leg or a life. This is called personal accountability.

Blame: a coward’s way of avoiding personal responsibility; a “victim” mentality.
Responsibility: the willingness to hold one’s self fully accountable for their role in the current situation; the maturity to look honestly at one’s self and identify the poor choices they’ve made; the decision to do whatever is necessary to remedy the situation as best they can.

The only way for the insanity to end is when all parties take full ownership of their poor choices and/or policies; to stop pointing the finger at others; to make more lawfully responsible decisions that create better and safer conditions for everyone. Steps which apply to our personal lives as well: smarter decisions that benefit all and cause no harm.

It’s long overdue that we all grow up whether in government or in our personal lives. Stop blaming others. Deal with FACTS. Look at your current environment. Ask yourself, “Is what I’m contributing to this situation making it better or it worse for myself and others?” Choice is where your personal power lies; blame renders one powerless by holding others fully accountable for what’s not working.

It’s time we all put on our big girl or boy pants and take full ownership for lives. Anything less is irresponsible and spineless.
BLAME: How LAME (weak) of ME to BLAME.

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL POST. DO NOT RESPOND AS SUCH. ALL POLITICAL POSTS WILL BE DELETED.

Jan. 20, 1982, I decided to get back in shape & ran a mile in snow. I increased the distance to 6 miles & eventually ran a ½ marathon. An injury forced me to switch to walking. I rose each morning at 3:30 & increased my distance to 12-15 miles daily. There it stayed for the next 19 years. I’ve since made adjustments but never faltered on my commitment to daily walking. That was 44 years ago today. In snow, rain, from minus 4 to 102 degrees, with a broken elbow then a fractured foot, in airports & hotel parking lots, I haven’t missed a day. I’ve logged over 170,000 miles. That’s the equivalent of traversing the Earth’s circumference 6 times! In 1994-95 I completed 2 race walking marathons & was one of the top female racewalkers in the country in my division.

I added strength training, weights, yoga, stretching & balance exercises. I’m 77, have no health issues & have maintained my ideal body weight, strength, endurance & flexibility, I rise every morning at 5:15 & power walk 3-6 miles. Three times a week I do a combo of 70 pushups, curls or lateral side raises with 10-lb dumbbells; plus 20 pull-ups, 60 sit ups, 15 squats, 40 lunges, 10 devil’s presses, planks, & 20 triceps dips with weights. I just added straight arm kickbacks, triceps extensions, woodchop & curls using 5 lb dumbbells.

I do yoga 4X per week, use a wobble board & foam cushion for balance, & stretch out on my inversion table. My workouts last 2 ½ hours per day. Exercising is hard but getting old is harder. I can still do everything today that I did in my 20’s.

I refused to accept the lie that as we age our time would revolve around illnesses, doctor visits, & medications. I’m not unique. There are many others defying these lies. Staying active allows us to stay young & healthy. NO ONE IS TOO OLD TO GET YOUNGER AGAIN. (Read that again!) Get up & get started. Start small but START NOW! And be persistent. That’s the key.

I can’t stop myself from aging but I can prevent myself from getting old & so can you. Every effort makes a difference. NEVER give in to the myth that getting old is inevitable. “I WILL ALWAYS GROW OLDER BUT I WILL NEVER BE OLD.”

2025 was a tough year. Some good; some not. My business was thriving & that meant a lot more work. I loved it but it was exhausting.
We lost some of our dogs & adopted new ones including a hospice dog. One of our oldest pups developed kidney failure. A treatment plan sustained her for 9 more months. Her care added a lot more work to my schedule but she was worth it. Our hospice dog needed additional care we hadn’t forseen. Up at 5:15 AM, work non-stop till 9 PM. Most nights were interrupted by multiple demands.
As the year progressed the responsibilities became more demanding with no relief in sight. So I prayed to God. His presence always provided the strength & comfort I need. But the challenges multiplied faster than His blessings.

Back-to-back snow storms exacerbated my situation. Clearing 2 acres of snow covered property is physically demanding. My husband’s health issues worsened. Extensive research revealed alternative treatments which I now administer every other day. Chronic stress took its toll & I was losing this battle. I was unable to focus on ordinary tasks making foolish mistakes. My body was physically breaking down. My Amazon order for patience was out of stock. Emotionally I was unraveling.

Prayer became an effort. I didn’t even know what to pray.I cried out to God the only words I could, “God, I need you!” He knew what I needed when I didn’t. That is the greatness of our Father – He fully knows our needs long before we can identify them & He’s already working on a resolution for us. My cry was sufficient.

He is a loving God who provided enough for me to continue handling my challenges. In time, He changed my circumstances to provide much-needed respite. New challenges surfaced but I feel renewed & hopeful. I will face them with greater clarity & command.
Matthew 6:8 “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”
Psalm 34:17 “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
Put all fears & anxieties to rest. Your loving Father knows your concerns before you do & He will deliver you from suffering.

Why not start the New Year by always being right? Here’s a tip from my conflict resolution workshop on

HOW TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT AND WIN EVERY TIME

We erroneously concern ourselves more with being right about issues than about simply being right (as a person). When you do what is right, (what is in accordance with Universal/Divine Law - such as treating others with consideration and kindness) you are right. You cannot be wrong because you are extending compassionate and humane treatment to others. When you treat others in a loving manner you garner their respect and trust. They appreciate your concern for their well-being and are very likely to reciprocate in a like manner. They become more cooperative and willing to see your point (and in some cases, even find common ground that you both agree on). You have solidified your reputation of being someone who is trustworthy, understanding, caring, and fair-minded. When you are right (in your treatment of the other party), you have won trust, respect, loyalty, cooperation, and self-respect. And you have won an ally for life. That makes you a winner on every level.

Do not concern yourself with being right about issues. Concentrate instead on doing what is right and you will, ironically, be right. Furthermore, do not obsess with winning the issue. Seek instead to win an ally. In this way, you will always be right and win in every situation.

These past 9 months have been stressful!
My husband & I rescue dogs. In March we rescued Abby a hospice dog: blind, deaf, heart murmur. Badly deformed arthritic legs make it hard to walk. She needs help . A week later Rocky went into kidney failure. Her treatment requires giving sub cutaneous fluids every other day & hand feeding her 3 times daily. More fluids = more p*e breaks day & night. We have 2 other dogs.

I have little time for my own tasks. Every 15-20 minutes I take someone out to p*e (Abby needs 20-30 minutes each time), clean up after someone, feed them, give them meds or treatments, & a lot more.

I still run my own company & this fall was one of the busiest ever. I have a house & 2 acres of land, run a women’s group at church, work out every day & care for my husband who has a serious health issue. He just started a treatment plan which I administer every other evening. My day begins at 5:15 AM & I work non-stop till 8 PM, 7 days a week. I’m overwhelmed, physically exhausted & cranky. So I prayed to God for relief. Send some help Lord!

There is no one who can help me the way I need. I’m in this alone. Just me & God. I chose not to ask God to change anything to alleviate my stress. That would be the easy way. What I needed was patience. A lot more patience! And a change in attitude. “Remove from me the grumpy, Father, & restore a kind & gentle heart.” That’s all I need. Just the inner tenderness that is Jesus. And that’s precisely what God granted me. He replaced my stress with understanding, my anger with compassion, my hopelessness with confidence & renewed strength. My situation remains constant but now I’m handling it with greater ease.

We don’t always need our lives to be different than what they are to be ok. Sometimes all we need is the peace that is Jesus to sustain us through the trials. I asked. He answered.

Then God offered me an added blessing: a simple solution that saves me 1 ½ hours a day! I’m still tired but the stress is gone. Thank you Father. You always come through for me. You have my heart forever.

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".

From my recent marriage retreat:
People often say that marriage is a 50/50 partnership, that each person must contribute ½ of what is necessary to make the marriage strong. Still others espouse couples must each apply 100% of themselves in order to achieve a happy relationship. Yet oftentimes this is not the case. One may be more invested in the relationship or have a greater ability to give more than the other. The risk with any imbalance is that the one putting forth greater effort may experience discontent or resentment.

But imagine if couples stopped keeping score? What if each simply gave what they were able to or wanted to? What if each party elected to be content with and appreciate whatever contribution was put forth by the other whether greater or lesser than theirs?

As with salary, typically one earns more than the other; with chores or child rearing one often handles more of the day-to-day responsibilities. For many, these imbalances in duties cause friction, arguing, and a breakdown in the relationship.

Yet if each person simply appreciated what the other offered rather than tallying every effort and task to be certain all were distributed equitably, there would be less disappointment and anger. Couples would then be free to spend their time enjoying one another and experiencing more loving moments.

In no way am I suggesting that either spouse allow the other to take advantage of them. Some aspects of any healthy relationship need to be discussed and negotiated. I’m merely suggesting that spouses refrain from tallying contributions and simply allow the relationship to progress naturally.
Stop keeping score. Be gracious and kind with one another. And grateful. Always. And in all things.

Ephesians 5:33 “However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

Yesterday I presented a communications workshop for couples at Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Church in Whippany, NJ. At 1:19 AM I received this beautiful email from a couple who purchased a copy of The Secret Side of Anger. I am always humbled by such testimonies and so honored that God has entrusted me to share my story and His Word with others. Thank you, Father. I will forever live to serve you.
