To me, this is one of the best things I can hear from you. If you are a Christian, you understand it. If you’re not, then it doesn’t make sense. This past year I have seen on social media the rudest forms of mockery on thoughts and prayers. Not just one post, but dozens. Cynical…
Read morePick your Mood!
Yes, you are capable of picking your mood, just like you can pick your nose. It can be done, (even if you have fat fingers! Ha ha) Rude joking aside, it really is up to you to pick your mood. You can’t leave it up to fate or chance, or how you feel when you…
Read moreGet Out of Bed
You’ve heard the term early to bed, early to rise? Well, guess what. It’s a GREAT idea! We all complain about how busy we are, how hectic our lives are, and how we don’t have enough time to do things we enjoy. If we actually change our schedule a little, we can make time! All…
Read moreWhy are people so…..!!!
Why are people so _____________! You fill in the blank. There are so many words that could be placed there: silly, stupid, mean, condescending, jealous, irritable, negative, happy, outrageous, dumb, infuriating, pushovers, afraid, crazy…….just to name a few. WHO ARE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE? Now, in thinking up your own words, I’m sure there…
Read moreThings to Ponder
Our lives seem to be so full and so busy that we don’t have much time to think. We act on impulse rather than with clarity and sound judgement. I believe we need to make time to stop and think, and evaluate what we are doing, how we are doing, and how it can be…
Read moreCoulda Shoulda Woulda
Ya, you know what I’m talking about. We all slip into the doldrums from time to time on the “I could have done that, I should have done that, I would have done that” and we think of all the reasons why we didn’t. Some we view with regret, and others with mixed emotions. It…
Read moreRevenge
This is not a healthy pursuit. No matter what injustice has happened, no matter how big or small, there is no room in your life for revenge. It is an insidious poison that will take over your thoughts, your actions, and words and will slowly destroy you. How? Maybe not actual death, but it will…
Read moreGossip Hurts. STOP!
Gossip is anything that includes idle chatter or rumors about the personal or private lives of others. Whether or not it’s true, it doesn’t matter. Sharing negative things that you would never say to a person’s face behind their back is such a huge betrayal. I know, we’d all like to think that we would…

Donna Lovett Divorce, Family, Forgiveness, Husbands, Life Strategies, Marriage, Parenting, Religion, Spiritual
I never thought I would be a divorced person. I grew up in a religious home (Baptist) and to be divorced was seemingly the greatest sin you could ever commit. Being divorced was definitely a no-no, and obviously if you were, then you must be such a horrible sinner. This is what I learned growing…
Read moreUn-met Expectations
Guess what! I have figured my marriage out. I was married for just under 10 years, then divorced. I have remarried, and this year will be celebrating my fourteenth year anniversary. Guess what I have learned… The biggest cause of problems in a marriage are UNMET EXPECTATIONS. And upon learning that, I realized I needed…
