Thankful Thursday~ Getting Lost And On The Way Being Renewed

Posted by on Sep 22, 2011 in Inspiration, Thankful Thursdays | 4 comments

At the Winters Villa, we call it “hitting your wall”. You may call it something else at your house, but we call “It” that.  The thing you feel when you know you can’t take one more step, one more move, one more phone call not returned, one more whatever.  It is when you’re flat-out “spent”. You have nothing left to give yourself – or anyone else for that matter. To be honest friends, I have felt that more than once in the last several years.  Starting over a...

It is 7:00 p.m. Eastern time and Tuesday has nearly come and gone.  Today is the LBD’s Guide to a FabYOUlous you.  A series I love writing. I thought seriously about what to share with you today.  And I pray this speaks to whoever needs to hear it. It spoke to me as I wrote it.  Funny that. As many of you all know, it has been a long four years for Winters and I.  Our family has embraced a lot of change, feelings I have not kept from you. With that change came a lot of sadness and grief.  As Winters...

To those of you who are new to corbywinters.com or just in case you might be a wee bit curious why I write a weekly series called Thankful Thursdays, I thought I would fill you in on a little scoop about its inception. It all started several months back.  It was a typical morning for the Sons of Thunder and The Little Black Dress that day.  We were scrambling for breakfast, searching for backpacks, digging through the never-ending mound of socks for a matching pair ( really I am not  exaggerating)...

Power Prayer Girl ~Thankful Thursday~ The Beauty Of A Card On Mother’s Day~

Posted by on May 5, 2011 in Inspiration, Thankful Thursdays | 4 comments

Finding the perfect card is not always easy. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I went to purchase Mother’s Day cards. One for Winters’ mom and one for my dear friend, Carol, who is like a  mother. I also gathered a few extras for some amazing women in my life who have never had any trouble telling me how much they love me. They are the kind who’ve been there through thick and thin.  Those cards have now been sent out too. I read many cards, trying to find the right ones. I finally...

Grief Waits For You

Posted by on Apr 13, 2011 in Inspiration | 2 comments

Grief is a funny thing.  You need it, but you don’t always want it. And you really can’t skip it either. However, you are not always sure when grief will come.  But it will come.  Be patient because it is patient. It is a  process.  A much-needed process for almost all human beings.  Some of us try to skip it,  just move on past it without dealing with it, grief that is.  But grief waits for you. It is patient and it simply waits.  It waits until you are ready to make the journey. So many of...
