A great teacher is one who actually “Listens” to their students, speaks with them and not to them, and NEVER judges them.

Freeing and Clutter
Sometimes freeing up space in your mind means cleaning up external clutter.
Surgery
Yes. Because it had to be done.
An Interview
This week I completed an interview with a national magazine. This is one of the photos I used. I enjoy talking about the journey I have been on since I set ‘pen to paper’ writing my first book. It was and still is my dream to write books and tell stories. The road hasn’t been easy though. There were some pot-holes along the way. The key is to stick with it and never ever give up. When the article goes live, I will share the link here on my site.
Mistaken by L. M. Montes
I strolled along in the park one day
enjoying a floral scene,
until a tap on my shoulder I felt
compelled me to turn around,
it was a man with reddened face
who hurled words with daggered grace,
I turned do leave but hit the ground
when me he tripped and there he dwelt,
“Sir, why do you have to be so mean,
I am not the person whose name you say.”
Daily Habits
I start with coffee and sitting in silence with the Lord. Breakfast comes next, then the computer goes on, and I pick up where left off with my manuscript. Physical exercise and a walk then dinner rounds out my day.
Sustainable Lifestyle
Daily writing prompt
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
I pray and consult with Jesus daily.
When Life Flips That Switch
It’s ok to feel overwhelmed at first when something good or bad happens. That’s normal. So go ahead and feel that overwhelming sensation. Once the shock dies away, your mind will go over the situation and try to come up with ways to work with it. If it helps to hash it out with someone else, do that. Remember that little story about the tortoise and the hare and how slow and steady wins the race? Well, I look at that little story this way; as you’re taking your time to get through whatever it is your going through, your mind is also working on the problem in the background. If you rush through, you might miss something vital and lose out.
Obstacles and Stoppers
Obstacles will slow you down until you find a way around it. Stoppers will prevent you from moving forward. If you have a stopper in your way preventing you from achieving your goals, turn it into an obstacle and get around it.
