You can’t shut down your grief, but you can make room
By Peggy Lindsey In this age of fitness centers, dietary supplements, and various ways to stay healthy, a diagnosis of terminal illness seems so unreal.

By Peggy LindseyWe all have experienced the ending of a relationship. Saying farewell to those we are closely connected with is a deeply human experience that often comes with pain and difficulty. The emotional aftermath is different for everyone, but almost all of us face feelings of loss, confusion, and grief. Sometimes these changes in relationships are not caused by anything bad, but simply from circumstances of growth. Yet the
By Peggy LindseyLife is not a bed of roses . . . nor is it a bed of thorns. Life is a combination of the wonderful and the awful with everything in between!

By Peggy LindseyYou know the moment . . . when time stands still . . . the phone call comes, and everything else seems unimportant as you face what’s in front of you. There’s no warning. The shock freezes you or puts you in overdrive. It all feels so surreal. In moments of crisis, the importance of self-care cannot be overstated.

By Peggy Lindsey We all desire to be loved, accepted, and included so we don’t have to be alone. Yet, in so doing, we smother our own uniqueness as we surrender to uniformity.

By Peggy LindseyBelief in angels has spanned the ages of time from every corner of the world.

By Peggy LindseyHopes and dreams are part of the human experience, yet many sabotage one’s chances of fulfilling such desires. Somehow we’ve been duped into believing there’s only so much to go around, that it is selfish to want too much, and that when we receive blessings in our lives then someone else does without.
