Are you following your dreams?

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Ten proven follow-your-dream startup steps. When I was a little girl, I loved the Cinderella Fairy Tale song that said, “A dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep. In dreams you will have no heartaches, whatever you wish for you keep.” Eventually I outgrew fairy tales, but not dreams. I believe dreams are essential to help us find and live our intended purpose-filled lives. Our dreams allow us to imagine new possibilities; they can take us anywhere, allow us to do anything in a land of unlimited opportunities. However following dreams require intentional activity and planning. And……

How do you describe the difference between alone and lonely?

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Although Thesaurus describes “alone” as a synonym for “lonely” and vice versus, I believe they are more than synonymous. I liked Chelsea Fagan’s approach to the difference as described in a brief excerpt below. “Alone is calm. Alone is listening to the things you have to say to yourself, giving time to the more important reflections that you often allow to settle in the back of your mind like a fine dust swept under a rug.” “Lonely is allowing freedom from judgment to take root in your life, to become a reason to let things go. It is losing perspective……

Do you feel like you are second in line?

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

What if I told you there is no line? There is you and your dreams and your talents and your hopes. There is your pain, your sorrow and your shame. Then there is your purpose, the reason you are on this earth. Purpose is that for which we are designed. That for which we are perfect. Purpose is our what, our when, and our how. It is knowing why we are. Our generation is evidence this generation needs something that our life contains. Our birth is evidence that our purpose is necessary. And yet many of us go through life……

Are you Daddy’s little girl?

I’m writing this on my Daddy’s birthday. He died in 1976. Each year I write him a letter on his birthday. I celebrate his ongoing encouragement that helped me walk into my purpose. Today I write to you about him. Maybe you will find your father somewhere in what I am about to say. I hope that you can appreciate that even as a mature woman, I have moments when I feel like Daddy’s Little Girl. I discovered that Daddy had special insight about how to nurture me through difficulties as well as help me dwell in possibilities. I did……

God is an efficiency expert.

Did you know that God is an Efficiency Expert? My attention was drawn to the conference room door. She entered so regally dressed in her country’s ethnic attire that her petite frame appeared seven feet tall. Her bright almond shaped eyes were wide with anticipation. Her lying smile said, “I am so glad to be here.” She was one of the guest speakers for the leadership program day entitled: “Living below the Poverty Line.” One of the program committee members ushered her to a seat next to me. I was her host until her time to speak. I smiled a……

Where is the love you said you would give to me?

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

I have a confession to make. I’m a romantic. I grew up listening to “happily ever after” stories. I believed the lyrics of the sixties love songs. My prince charming rode his white horse through my dreams at night. And I used to write to him in my journal. When I did marry, I found out that those love songs were about someone else’s dreams. To come true would take two willing people and a lot of blessings to fulfill their promise. I stayed in my marriage too long after I realized it would not be a happily ever after……

God’s lost and found.

Have you ever had a song take up residence in your head and come out to play on occasion for no apparent reason? One day you start humming it and you can’t stop. Recently I had the same experience; not with a song but with these seven words: “I thought I was the only one”. Hearing them again caught me off guard. I was attending a women’s conference. In the morning session we formed small groups around tables to discuss this question, “What barriers are keeping you from living your best life, the life you dream of having?” We were……

You are not alone.

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Let me ask you this. Do you feel like you are created for more, but somehow are stuck in a place that won’t let you get there? Perhaps you doubt that freedom and deliverance are available to you. My friend, you are not alone! It took me a lifetime to look in the mirror, linger and feel right about who was looking back. I have faced these questions up close and personal. For many years I was successful by external standards, yet I didn’t feel worthy or at peace inside. Sometimes I felt confused and disconnected. I struggled with demons……
