The Cheering Section that I didn't even know I needed!

 One thing that has felt so amazing since returning to work from Christmas break is my coworkers. I didn’t fully realize how much support I would feel just by walking back into the building without my scooter. So many people noticed right away. Almost every day someone stops me, claps, or cheers me on, telling me how good I am looking and how proud they are of the progress I’ve made. It honestly feels like I have my own cheering section in the halls.

Those small moments make such a difference in my workday. Healing can feel slow and lonely at times, but being surrounded by people who notice, celebrate, and speak life into the progress changes everything. I truly feel seen, and that is such a gift in any workplace.

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11.... I know I have shared that verse a few times but it is so so important! 

I am learning that encouragement is powerful. It reminds us how far we’ve come, not just how far we still have to go. I’m incredibly thankful for coworkers who choose to notice and choose to celebrate the journey with me.  THANK YOU! 

Prayer
Lord, thank You for placing people in our lives who see us and speak encouragement when we need it most. Help me to be that same source of encouragement to others. Amen.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
