To get the crows to behave in our orchard, we took drastic steps! They were motivated to find another place to roost, at least for a while. How are you motivated? By wins? By NOT losing? God offers both in Scripture to His people, but the victory is won in Christ!

Grief can easily overtake us! In this episode I talk about grief as a place to visit, but not where we want to live. I share 5 strategies for coping with grief when it threatens to overtake us.

Another Day in the Life (Episode 24) tells a bit more about Sam's story!

Dr. Caroline Leaf -- How to Detox Your Brain (part 1) is one of our videos that Dr. Caroline talks about the mind controlling the brain (isn't that interesting!!), and how trauma, experiences, thoughts transform us at a cellular level. Fascinating!

Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why by Laurence Gonzales begins with the story of the author's father who survived a fall from a WWII plane from somewhere around 20,000 feet...survived and began the author's life-long fascination with the "cool" it takes to beat the odds. An amazing book!

The Rundown with Sam -- Sam's blog posts from 2010. He's a hoot, and his 16-year old musings still hit me in the feels. Enjoy!

"If it's not one thing, it's your Mother," was one of my Dad's quips. Celebrating Mother's Day brought up quite a few memories of my mother, but also evoked the realization that all mothers are not alike. The wife of Abraham—Sarai who became Sarah, the mother of many nations—responded to the news that she would be a mom with laughter, but it wasn't all that funny! 

Today, mothers are no laughing matter... we all have challenges, but God is faithful through them all!

Post It Note Wisdom #4 is my mother's version of the Stonecutter's Credo... her wisdom is evident like compounding interest or "inch by inch, it's a cinch!" If you want to pursue success, wealth, or just plain get un-stuck, her wisdom will help you do it!

This is the fourth in a series about snippets of wisdom that will fit on a post-it note and will serve to remind you of truths to help you move forward. Check out the earlier Post-In Note Wisdom episodes for more content like this!

Wisdom comes from unexpected places, and Post-It Note wisdom is based on the quirky sayings of family and friends that help me do a turn-around when I get stuck or need a quick mental shift! Post-It Note #1 was "Life Accumulates," and Post-It Note #2 was a question: "Am I dreamin' of the 'tater hole?" And number 3 takes a look at Bad News!
