Perspective

Perspective is a funny thing. Like in this picture. In this picture I am not that critical of myself. When I stand up and look in the mirror, the perspective changes, and I see the 30+ pounds that I should lose . . not in a self-hate way. More like in a something else on my to-do list way.

Lately, I’ve been changing my perspective on a path that I’ve started on. I’ve talked vaguely about it in my blog and on my social media. Now it is time to share a little more.

This blog started with a God-inspired idea to focus on gratitude, it changed my perspective, and my life. This blog was going to be a 365 day thing, and now this blog is well over 10 years old. I’ve heard positive feedback and I’ve known that at some point I wanted to have this be more.

Isn’t it funny how our idea seems bland and God’s ideas blow ours out of the water?? I’ve had different ideas and different plans that bounced around my head for years. I knew that this year was the time for things to change. This change has been slow. God knew I needed this to be slow to keep my ideas at a minimum and let his plans shine thru. (I am a work in progress of course. And my ideas get so loud in my head!!)

So, here I am, following God’s lead, and I am happy to announce that what started as an idea to grow this blog has now grown and turned in to a plan to help parents of teens and tweens. I will have a book out in two months and more personal help to come! I am still working on a name for this new adventure! Nothing has felt right yet, so please feel free to send suggestions! And, don’t worry! My real estate appraisals and brokerage will continue to thrive as well!

I am not claiming to be an expert! But, I’ve walked thru some struggles. Heaven knows that I know a fair bit of my imperfections! And maybe that’s why God can use me ❤️

Tonight I am thankful and excited for this new opportunity that God has been leading me to! I will keep working on keeping myself quiet enough to hear God’s leading on this – that is a HUGE struggle for me! But I am so excited for an opportunity to help people and maybe change some things for the better in life!!
