Change is defined as an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another. Change can be subtle or it can be dramatic. For example, my waistline change is subtle, it happened over time, that time being the holidays. Change when you lose a family member is dramatic and not subtle… Continue reading How Do You Handle Change?
I have devoted much time lately to just hearing people. Listening and hearing what someone is actually saying. I have to admit that in the past I used conversation as a filler in life. I would “network” with others over coffee talking about each other’s business and then promising to send referrals to each other… Continue reading What Are You Hearing And Is It HOPE?

Hear my prayer, O Lord; answer my plea because you are faithful to your promises. Don’t bring me to trial! For as compared with you, no one is perfect. My enemies chased and caught me.

Grateful gratitude 
Hi Laura,
I was truly blessed by hearing about your ministry at the recent Chamber of Commerce meeting in Allen, TX. Being just a guest and hearing about the difficulties you experienced losing your loved one and the experiences you had dealing with family members, friends, and others really choked me up. By the Grace of God you learned to overcome these difficulties and develop the Grateful Gratitude box for others was heartfelt! I really appreciate your business ministry and what you are doing for others since experiencing such a tragic loss.
I have also been in a very difficult situation myself with a loved one who was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD is a very rare brain disease that strikes one out of one million people worldwide. There is no cure or treatment with an average life expectency of only 7 months. My wife has lived 15 months with the disease and has been in a comotose state for a whole year. Following the Chamber od Commerce meeting last Tuesday she came down with pneumonia and is expected to pass soon.
You gave me a sense of peace hearing you speak. I continue to pray for her to pass on with no further pain. She is a Christian woman and it is undescribable to even tell you about what family members can do to each other in a dire situation like this.
Please keep me in your prayers and likewise I will certainly be praying for you and your ministry.
Regards,
Joseph
