Love and encouragement from an imperfect mom and her fun teen daughters. We welcome you to live life with us.
Some topics are heavy like emotional healing or sexual harassment, and these topics are for the older gals.
October is “Breast Health Month,” so I’m posting this on the last day of October 2022. I will not give medical advice but will share what works for me and share some other gals’ stories too. Our breasts have two different vascular systems: blood vessels (including capillaries), and the lymphatic system (with lymphatic vessels). Our … Read more Breast Health for Younger and Mature Gals
When we don’t understand or work through old problems, we repeat them, and these problems become “bad life patterns.” We hear of daughters of alcoholic fathers (or those with other addictions) who marry alcoholics, to the daughter’s regret. Women who have suffered other pain too can end up repeating mistakes over and over. Why would … Read more When Bad Life Patterns Repeat
When we boldly pray (obeying Scripture to “Come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need,” Heb. 4:16), could our prayers turn into wrongful presumption upon God? Scripture warns this could happen. In James 4:3 we read, “You ask and do not receive, … Read more Boldly Praying or Presuming upon God?
Is pain inevitable? I have found I can avoid it, and you know I am no Superwoman. So I decided if a simple gal like me can avoid pain, why not share what worked for me, in case anything I do might work for you. As I say in all my health posts, I am … Read more Nearly Pain-Free Living: Natural Pain Relief
Researchers don’t surprise us when they say social media, and Covid only made people feel more isolated, sad and anxious. We sense this in our hearts. But even Christians might think we are alone (strange, weird, carrying problems no one else carries), when we are not, or at least we shouldn’t stay alone. Although this … Read more Don’t Go it Alone: Tell Someone When You are Hurting
Showing off in the news and in social media, actors, musicians, artists and influencers imply they are better than us, so we must copy them. In essence, they want us to compare ourselves to them and feel shame when we differ from them. Even in church, we may believe Bible heroes or even other church … Read more Comparing Ourselves to Others: Who does God say You are?

If you click on the link to the product, you will go the website of the company that sells this product. If you purchase it, you pay the same price as you … Read more Menopause Relief
I’m beginning this post addressing you wonderful young gals, but moms and all you friends of the younger gals (sisters, aunts, grandmas and friends), please read this too, and I will also address you near the end of this post. Satan has used an ancient method of separating parents from children (even adult children), and … Read more When Satan tries to separate children from Parents
As I read a verse from the amplified Bible, without my reading glasses, I mistook “forget” for “forgive,” but my mistake reminded me of a truth about bringing our pain to God. How can we heal and forgive ourselves of what we forget or deny we suffered? Here is the amplified verse: “Jesus…said to them, … Read more Deny yourself or forgive yourself?
We gals judge ourselves too harshly. But we may not have started out that way. I shared about how researchers asked kindergartners if they could dance, sing and draw, and these children said, “Yes!” Yet as girls aged, their answers changed to say, “I cannot” I want to address another way this happens. The researchers … Read more More Reflections on Overcoming Silencing of Gals
