Escape Codependent Patterns: Reclaim Your God-Given Identity & Emotional Authority
By

Once upon a time no matter my circumstances, if anyone asked me how it was going, my classic, automatic response was “I’m fine, just fine.” I can relate to the cup in the picture. A broken cup that still screams, “I’m fine. Everything is fine.” I remember the day that I dropped this cup in…

The “witching hour…” YEP! The witching time that we get an itching… For some, it’s called “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” time. For others, it’s called “pop-a-top” time.

Failed marriages…do you have one? I have multiple. The falling apart (failing) amazes me.

Is SELF CARE necessary?

Do we need SELF CARE? Is self care even BIBLICAL?
