Hello Everyone, thanks for hanging with me as I know I’ve been absent from blogging for the last several weeks! Life has been busy between my budding love relationship and my busy work fourth-quarter season.

However, I’m excited to be writing a new article!

Also, here’s a head’s up that  I’m switching my weekly publishing day to Saturdays. I somehow think this will help me with my schedule. Additionally, Saturday mornings are a good day to sit back, drink a cup of coffee, and read a blog post. Please give me your feedback if you concur or disagree. 😉

Today, I want to challenge us all in our beliefs about what we can accomplish which starts with setting our goals…

Last week, I wrote part 1 of this post which had to do more with the money side of things. In learning to have mental wealth as well as managing money well, an emergency fund is a solid foundation.

Resilience

noun

  1. The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

And then let’s look at some synonyms of resilience – flexibility, pliability, suppleness, plasticity, elasticity, springiness.

I’ll go further and state that if we can develop resiliency in the game of life, we’ll be able to recover quickly and bounce back from adversity.

Dating with Faith in Recovery

By 2 Comments

Dating in recovery is a topic that needs to be addressed. After all, relationships can bring the best and worst out of people. We all need relationships to thrive and I’d argue survive. So, learning to have Godly, healthy relationships is a worthy endeavor.

I can almost guarantee the roots behind any addiction stem back to some dysfunctional relationship, trauma, and/or abuse. Relationships are that powerful. When trust is broken, some type of damage is done.

My next statement comes only from personal experience and from years of working with broken women. Until we are able to face our pasts (however painful) and learn to reconcile, heal, forgive the unforgivable, and replace lies with truth, we will not have healthy relationships.

It’s the hard work that no one wants to do. However, as one who has done it, I can say it’s the most worthwhile work I’ve ever done.

I’m in a relationship currently and we are doing it more differently than I’ve ever done. For that reason, I wanted to share what I’ve learned…
