Dear Fellow Readers ~ I am a Christian. I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe God has us in the palm of his hand.   And so, I must write about the last few days of my Charlie’s life. After several months of noticing her decline, I knew the decision must be made to let her go. Our vet wasn’t doing in home euthanasia, and this was important to me to let her go where she had spent her life, and so I had called another in-town vet. I knew they were equipped to d

I wish there was a way to take all of you into my world of coaching. It is very much like a kaleidoscope, holding so many unique colors and shapes. Each smile, tear, victory, loss, disappointment; all connecting all; to the next twist and change. A brief glimpse of looking at this beautiful snapshot, trying to remember and hold on to it, so you never forget the most important, the most unique, and most breathtaking moments. – traci loecker

“If I could sweep all of these moments to the edge of the table, scoop them up in my palm and drop them into a bottle . . . I would. And once inside, they would shimmer and glean, maintaining perfect clarity, always.”

In Chapter 8 of the book Awakening Grace, it talks about Covenant Friendship. This is my favorite chapter of the book.   From Biblestudytools.com , the term covenant is defined as the following: “Covenant in a social setting means a lifelong friendship agreement; or it can refer to a marriage. The biblical words most often translated "covenant" are berit [ tyir.B ] in the Old Testament (appearing about 280 times) and diatheke [ diaqhvkh ] in the New Testament (at least 33 tim

A Prayer Made Flesh Philippians 4:4–7 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!... And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This passage in Philippians is one of the most highlighted verses in my Bible — the ink faded from the number of times I’ve come back to it. It’s become a place of return for me, a steady reminder when joy feels far away. Rejoicing doesn’t come as naturally as it on

While studying for my masters degree from DWU, I took a course in leadership. We studied and researched some of most well-known leaders in the world. It was eye-opening to read about the leadership skills of the great “I am.”  I had always gone to church growing up, but I had never seen Jesus as the CEO of my  life . In the book,  Jesus, CEO  by Laurie Beth Jones, it talks about the “I am” statements that Jesus spoke of and then became. Examples of this are, “I am the bread o

I have always loved the song Do You Hear What I Hear, however, I will be the first to admit I don’t know every single word. I decide to search it up. I take a sip of my coffee and I can’t just read the words of the song, I have to sing it.   I start singing.   Said the night wind to the little lambDo you see what I see?(Do you see what I see?)Way up in the sky, little lambDo you see what I see?(Do you see what I see?)A star, a star, dancing in the nightWith a tail as big as a

Oh Mighty Mo ~ How I can’t wait to explore your every curve Your every breath, your every movement I implore you to hold tight to every memory we experience together Hold that glint in your eye . . the one that beckons me to come and play. How I yearn to feel you all around me. Am I to leave everything that is comfortable? It is in the excitement of the new, the unknown, the learning and tracing of every pebble of sand. The subtle movements, the jarring crash of the waves . .
