Love Story

Trying to meet some writing deadlines today, I found myself staring at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, so I posted on Facebook “Where do I begin?”

As I sat there a little longer the melody to the theme from Love Story began to form in my mind. The next thing I knew I was singing it, but I had forgotten all the words. “Where do I begin? blah, blah, blah . . . great a love can be . . . doo doo doo deeee!”

Hallelujah for google! Looking it up - this is how really goes --

Where do I begin?

To tell the story of how great a love can be

The sweet love story that is older than the sea

The simple truth about the love he brings to me

Where do I start?

How do you begin to explain the greatest love story? Whether it is the love story of Christ (the best Valentine gift ever) or your hubby it is hard to explain. Especially because that line - “Where do I start?” doesn’t even rhyme with the rest of those lyrics and that totally throws me off.

However, as Valentine’s approaches everyone is singing love. But maybe, just maybe -- some of you out there are blinded - like I once was - by what real love is. I use to think it was fairytale like with a happily ever after ending every day!

Well, watch below. I soon realized or should have realized otherwise. This is where my love story started amazingly some 27 years ago.

Leave a comment and let me know how your love story began.

Resolutions or Goals

Did you make New Years resolutions? Chances are they will be broken within the first few weeks.

Did you set New Years goals? Chances are if you didn’t write them down they will not be achieved.

Are you thinking those are some pretty depressing odds? Sometimes goals can be overwhelming. However, the secret is writing them down, keeping them before you, and taking baby steps toward them daily. (Don’t be like me – I use to write them down and then pull them out the next year to see if by chance I’d accomplished anything. Just so you know that doesn’t work! Seriously.)

So, check out my first vlog below. I’ve been putting this off and FINALLY took the baby steps needed to accomplish this. (so be kind now) This vlog will give you some helpful hints for a more effective and efficient 2010.

Hey, be sure to listen to the end and leave a comment here, on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or anywhere to be entered into a drawing for an online Women Inspired conference admission ticket (value $12.95) that will give you the tools you need for an awesome 2010. Check out the conference here. (Seriously, how can you beat hearing awesome speakers from all over the nation while sitting in your pj’s in your comfy chair with a cup of hot coffee?)

Five tickets will be drawn on January 9^th, so get those comments posted.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14

May you be amazed as you see God bless you immeasurably more in 2010!
