September will bring a couple milestones for me. One is starting therapy for the 1st time in my adult life! No I am not depressed or even struggling. But I did determine that there are things I want to work through that I am struggling to do on my own. So I got a referral and off we go! I hope that you are well in all ways. We regularly clean our teeth, maybe we should look at therapy that way too!

Sharing my all time favorite touchstone from the Bible. According to Wikipedia a touchstone can be seen as "As a metaphor, a touchstone refers to any physical or intellectual measure by which the validity or merit of a concept can be tested." I have used this chapter as a touchstone to measure my connection to my faith and God. In times of trouble, in times of gratitude, in times of confusion reciting this chapter is a physically spoken method for me to my faith in the belief that the Lord is my Shepherd. I pray you find your rest, companionship and sustenance.

In my opinion some of the most important things I can do is to know who I am, what my strengths are & where I came from. I have the first 2 categories in hand. However, the 3rd one is not something I know. I am making it a project/mission to learn about the Beverlin, Holmes, Barker and Goodyear families. History has never been my strong suit, something I haven't paid attention to. But now that I am adult, time to learn stuff :)

Dallas Jenkins from The Chosen spoke to Annie F Downs on her podcast episode 313. It was a fantastic interview. You should totally check it out. He talked about the evolution of his career. It inspired me to discuss daily living rather than striving for the big picture.

The American novel Pollyanna was written by Eleanor H Porter. In 1960 the great Hayley Mills portrayed Pollyanna in a Disney movie. She won a special Oscar for that role! It is a powerful movie. It is NOT about being overly optimistic about alllll things! Being Pollyanna has been used in a fairly mocking tone over the years. I spend a few minutes talking about Pollyanna and gratitude. Hope it shifts your perspective like a prism refracts light!

What is in a word? - Letters of the alphabet - meaning outlined in resources like the Websters Dictionary - Long A - Hard C - Confusing J - I before E except after C... Sometimes! A word can be VERY confusing! A word can be uplifting! A word can be destructive! "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" IS TOTALLY WRONG! Words matter! I believe that if each of us would make a small, incremental change it would in fact change the world! Words show that you see the other person, love begins with words!
