Continue reading →: Ladies, Tear off the Tag!
“Labels are sticky and hard to remove!” I remember when I first heard those words, I was captivated by them. It spoke to me because it seemed like whenever I found myself as an involuntary referee between my kids’ war of words, I would often say, “If you know you’re…

Originally posted on Better Not Bitter: Today is a day of firsts! The first day of the month and the first day in over 12 years that I’ll dare set foot on the scene of the crime…the one that momentarily left me with the inability to feel I had a…

Yes Lovely Ladies, suffering is necessary. It is part of the refinement process. Some refinement takes longer than others dependent upon how tough the material being polished is before the process began. Trials and disappointment have a tendency to give us thick skin…we get tough when we’re meant to be…

Hmmm…now I intentionally removed myself from social media for a while to refresh and to focus on my books and other business ventures…yet, in the last few days I’ve allowed myself to indulge for maybe 30 minutes a day or so to play catch up. I wish I could say…

I’ve always been one to find errors immediately…on signs…in books…on television…in speech…I’ve had a knack for correcting things since I was seven…always considering other, better, and more efficient ways of doing most things I’ve observed. In fact, I have to purposely make myself not read my posts at times because…

Continue reading →: Reconstructed for Purpose
I’m sure I’d heard of the term “reconstruction” before, but when the gentlemen I spoke with the other day mentioned it referring to several home remodeling projects in the area, I understood things intimately. I began writing a post some time ago about being under construction. However, if I’m honest, it…

Continue reading →: He Responds with Silence
In the past three days, like Paul, my scales have been removed. I understand more because I hear God’s voice more. I once thought God only speaks ever so often, but I was wrong. He not only hears me, but God responds. Responding is something I’m learning to do more often myself.…

For the last month or more, my daughter has been somewhat “re-obsessed” with Frozen’s Soundtrack . I admit I used to like the song myself, but only when I heard Demi Lovato sing it. Yesterday morning on the way to church she decided to belt out the lyrics of which…

Continue reading →: It was Never Rejection
I cried in class today. I hadn’t planned to do so. I didn’t even cry when writing the piece I was required to read aloud. The assignment was to tell our story. As a writer I almost did the paper before even reading the assigned chapters because I thought it…
Hey Lovelies and Gents,
I’m Nadia
Welcome to my cozy corner of relational sanity. Once upon a time, I started a blog, but I was bound by codependency and low self-worth, so though I penned encouragement for others, I never really took my own advice. Fast forward nearly a decade later, I’ve revisited and finally fully embraced those tidbits of wisdom the Lord led me to express so many years ago. That said, I’m glad to catch up with myself and to help you release whatever has you bound. A word of caution, though: I’m holy, but I cuss a lil’ bit, so occasionally, there may be some colorful language, so please eat the meat and spit out the bones. Ensure the Lord sent you here so we can learn and grow together. I guess that’s a long enough intro for now. Until Later.
