Loving with Purpose, “So What’s It About?
This was the question asked over and over at my most recent events; an expo and a fundraiser.
If you’ve ever wondered what my book, Loving with Purpose, is about, let me tell you…
Because of the title I chose (Loving with Purpose), many people believe it might be a religious book. It is not. It is a relationship book.
A book about the relationship you have with yourself and with others.
With that said, I do share small pieces of God in my book, (e.g. Chapter 12: Touchy Topics), but mainly you will read about you and your relationships; a self-help book aimed at helping people find peace and happiness within themselves and with each other.
This does not mean I won’t share religious viewpoints on my website…in my own way. Mostly, from the words of spiritual and religious leaders who I’ve come to respect and trust. I believe, without a doubt, that my life, that the relationship I have with myself, is totally defined by the ways of God.
For this reason, I share what I find helpful, to me and for others, on my website, Loving with Purpose, and other media outlets. God is a part of Loving with Purpose. It has to be…since my belief system is based on His words. Sure, I don’t do anything to perfection; no one does, but I learn more every day and want to share what I find useful.
Although I knew some people didn’t really understand what the book was about, through my most recent expo and fundraiser events, I learned that for certain. I needed to let people know.
I felt it necessary to share the fact that Loving with Purpose, my book, is not based on religion. It is, however, based on personal awareness, self-worth, and success…and although I talk very little about God in the book, I know He is a big part of our journey.
So, that’s it! I just wanted to give more clarity to you about the purpose of my book, Loving with Purpose. I hope you take the time to pick up a copy and check it out for yourself.

Dropping Surprises in Relationships
Quote: “It’s not what civilized, educated, decent people do…they don’t drop bombs on each other.” ~ Ted Turner
Take this quote and consider the meaning in other aspects of life…other than war.
When you choose to treat someone with disrespect, betray them, or offer any other behavior other than one of kindness and honesty, look to see if this quote applies to you. Are you being open and honest with someone you care about? Are you respectful of their rights? Do you take your frustrations out unfairly on someone who cares about you? Worse yet, are you dropping a bomb on your relationship by now showing your true self; one which offers criticism or abuse?
Obviously, life does bring sorrowful surprises at times; an argument ensues, a family member becomes ill, and other unfortunate moments that occur. It’s good to know that there are some choices we have control over…and the idea that we can reduce some of the inevitable bombs that come our way is reassuring.
One of which is how we treat each other. Read more »

Let’s hear it for the boys…..
So often we don’t take the time to share a compliment with one another. We know to give thanks on Thanksgiving, but there are 364 other days that we might take for granted. So here is your chance!
I want to hear about the guys who participated in the holiday celebration this year in some way. Here’s to the guys who were understanding, patient, or helpful around the house. Let’s hand it to those who took it upon themselves to do some of the gift or grocery shopping, wrapped some presents, or cleaned up from the holiday cheer. Perhaps your fellas were the ones who put up the tree, added some lights, and dressed it all with ornaments. Let’s even take a moment to share our compliments for the men in our lives who may not have necessarily gone above and beyond, but they definitely did their part. It all matters.

Tell what your mate did to make your holiday a little brighter….
January 3rd, 2012…
Anyone????? Okay, I’ll start. My husband did the grocery shopping (long list) twice, put all the groceries away (usual), helped with cleaning (a little) for three different events in the last month, brought up the tree and its tinsel, set up downstairs to be a family room (or as he likes to call it “man cave”), offered peeps their drinks, took out all the garbage, aaaaannnndddd…that’s all I can think of right now.
