On this Valentine’s Day let’s just pause the candy, flowers, reservations, shopping madness and express our appreciation for our loved one. We can get so caught up in the frenzy of the day and not appreciate what we have. Stop and breathe in the love you have and reflect on all that’s good. This post […]
I was home chillin’ and reading a book by Esther Perel, sipping my coffee when a meme came in on my cell phone from my not married son. It was a group text to our family. I stopped what I was doing to read it. At the top was a picture of a woman drinking […]
What I am about to share is common. It could be a number of ladies who have reached out to me for marriage advice over the years. On one particular occasion, I set up a time to talk and once on the phone I heard… “I am so very frustrated with my husband. He doesn’t […]
Are you still having fun in your marriage? Still married but not feeling the pizazz, like you’d like to? Do you want fun? Laughter? Passion? My husband and I had a very rocky start to our marriage, but over our thirty-five years we have learned the secret to keeping it new and vibrant and alive. […]

I’ve been watching Hallmark Christmas movies with my husband y’all. We may be addicted. It has become a new Christmas tradition in the Williams home. I love the happy endings. I wait for it and then act like I didn’t see it coming, “Oh, how sweet, they’re in love.” It seems it’s always the same […]
During this busy Christmas season, we tend run on hyper speed. Try slowing down a bit. Day 12 – Read Psalm chapter 1. Make a list of all the tasks you need to accomplish until Christmas. Prioritize what’s most important. Do you really need to complete the entire list? Planning and preparation will dodge potential […]
The sexual allegations are flying. It’s truly heartbreaking to hear more and more horrific stories of children who were sexually abused. We’ve all heard the stories.
