A Nice Start To the Year

January has been a nice month so

far here in Western Washington.

Not a lot of rain like December 

although some is expected to

start here soon. In the morning 

we have had some fog before the

sun comes out in the afternoon.

It depends exactly where you are

at as well. 

When talking to people the attitude 

is better when the sun comes out.

After many days of rain it is refreshing. 

I was out for coffee and met a young 

woman who recently moved here.

She is working at Costco and is

figuring out her lifetime purpose.

She is outgoing and a Christian so

she is on the right path. 

It is important for us to meet people 

like this we can talk to and help out

if they ask us. Having a positive 

attitude I always believe is good.

It doesn't mean we won't go through 

difficult times however better to

handle it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Yourself

Since we were all created uniquely 

it is important to live as ourself.

Often people want to be like someone 

else or idolize others.

There are others to admire however 

it doesn't change who you are or 

it shouldn't be anyway.

Never be influenced by others who

are trying to change you. Don't 

hang out with them if they are trying

to do so. 

We all have areas of improvement 

needed but doesn't mean changing 

us altogether.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A Breakthrough In Our Lives

The state of the world and our lives 

we must decide to change things.

We can't do it on our own. It is

easy to pick up habits from others.

We can become angry on how

others act. 

God is the only one that can change

people. We can do the best we can

however it comes down to him.

We can be examples to others too.

Some people minds are made up

that it is hard to change them. We

can do so to some degree. 

None of us is perfect so how much 

we can do it has it's limits.  Our 

purpose is to be an example by

being the best we can be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making Ourself Better

It isn't easy however we should try to

make ourself better or ask God to do

so on our behalf.

We form ways that we have lived 

most of our lives and it is hard to 

change. We must be transformed 

by God. Even when we are transformed 

often didbits of our old life still

sneak in. This is where it important 

to have others to help us in those

areas we still have trouble in.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Appreciation

My blog in 2025 has the most views 

in the history of it. I appreciate you all.

Over 20 countries that view it almost everyday on all four continents. I find

it quite amazing.

I appreciate the fact that many of you

live where access to the Internet isn't 

always easy. You might have to to go

to an Internet store too. You live in 

a country that the government doesn't 

believe the same as I do and you have

go risk your safety as well. I notice to

that you may not view this directly on 

my site either.  

I know your may not be able to do your

life purpose in the way you like to either.

It might be your health or circumstances.

I admire you all for sure. I hope you can 

become part of a small group where you

discuss things including your purpose.

Meeting a new person daily or weekly is

good too.

I live in a small town about 12k so I am 

able to see some people who regularly 

meet at a coffee shop or the gym or

when I go grocery shopping. I still find

a way to meet someone new. 

On Wednesday I met a woman who 

used to live in the area and then she

and her husband moved to Southern California for two years. They are now

back as he is working as a dentist in 

a nearby town. I met her in my Zumba

dancing class. She loved the weather 

in Southern California. I can understand 

that especially in the winter when it

rains a lot here and more so this season.

I hope  that I blessed her. After the dancing

a friend came in and they hugged each other.

I am glad she has a friend in the class.

For some I know it isn't easy talking to

new people. I started the conversation 

by just saying hello. She had taken Zumba

here when they lived here before although

I don't remember her which is ok.

May you be blessed and again thank you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making Life Differences

Our purpose should include making

differences in others lives. 

If you have a family than you make

differences each and every day.

The key is to do the same in your

community as well. How that 

happens is with your gifts and 

talents.   

Your heart toward others and a

smile can make a difference 

without you knowing so much

since you are being yourself.

It is the best way your doing it.

If you have any free time beyond

what your doing now become a

volunteer at a community center, 

or at a hospital to help others.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Protesting Versus Freedom Of Speech

It is interesting about protesting and

having the freedom of speech.

When the ruler of Venezuela was 

arrested and now in the United States 

many protestors came out against 

it. I wouldn't call that freedom of 

speech. Had those in Venezuela 

came out to protest his being in

prison in United States that would be

freedom of speech in my mind. 

On the other hand they rejoiced 

and that would be showing freedom 

of speech as well.

I feel Americans don't have any acknowledge

for the most part on going on in countries 

like Venezuela. Also whatever President 

Trump does the Democrats will get

people to protest though they are not 

really their freedom of speech in my

mind though they think the are. 

Knowing Ourselves

It is so important that we know

ourselves. Depression can happen 

if we think lowly of us.

The best way is to see what others

think of us on the whole. There 

will be those who won't care of us

but it is what those who know us

better. Keep your chin up and keep 

up moving. The most important 

God loves us whether we are having

a good day or not.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Be Honest With Ourselves

Being honest with others might be 

difficult to share with others but

it might be even more so with yourself.

A good reason to journal to write

how you feel at some moment or

another.  It can make us feel better.

My feeling is we may want to write

down one word in our journal instead.

We can think about that one word and

see where it goes.  A sentence or a

paragraph might work that one word. 

It could be an eye opener.  Whether 

it will work or not it will be an eye to

try.  You might end up writing a book.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Honest To Others

Whether it is your parents, siblings, 

wife, children and friends it is 

import to be honest with them. 

We all have failings as well as 

good gifts and talents. It is 

important to give these over to

people that love and care for 

you .

This is the same way we should 

be there for them as well. If you

are angry over what is going on

in your country as well as those

you work with. This can include

neighbors as well.  Confess

and let these who love and care

for you what your going through.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Friends

The most important thing is to have 

a friend whether it is a relationship 

or meeting in person and do some 

things together.

A friend can help increase your

life purpose to another level.

They can be there when you need

answers or need rest time.

Whatever the case we need to be

more than an island. This friend 

would be more than anyone else 

you know. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being More Clear

Every day we should be more clear how

our purpose is working out and what 

each step we take as well. 

Though we each have a unique purpose 

we should encourage others. For some

that is a higher purpose however that

should not be for everyone.

There are two that speak about gratitude 

which is the same or close to it. I enjoy 

what they say every time. They come

at different angles. 

Not everyone will accept our purpose 

however everytime the experience 

should put us in more focus. Our

purpose won't change though we

may have more added on or the 

location may change.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Experience

Our life experience will help us through 

our purpose. Many people we come 

into contact want to know what our 

experience is like. 

The best way is to begin with asking 

them what their experience is like

and you can see whether there's 

is much like yours. 

This is good when you see someone 

that you haven't seen in a while. A

good way to catch up. Also a time

to ask if you like to meet for coffee 

or tea.

Writing down our experiences is a

good idea. Allows us to see whether 

we are on the right track or we can

add to the track.

May you be blessed as you continue 

on this journey we call life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Walking Indoors

I prefer walking outside however the rain 

in the winter times means more indoors.

I find it really nice when I find someone 

to Walker together. It is nicer in conversation 

as well going further to. Learn to know

about family and other things too.

A good purpose to have and be healthy as well. We can live longer when  being with

others too. 

May you spend your time with other 

people. It is a good way to keep your 

attitude too.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knowing Our Priorities

When it comes to our purpose we 

have to know our priorities too

It is a good idea to list what our

priorities. God should be at the

top of the list followed by our 

family and friends. 

Next would be our job or calling.

How we function in both of them.

What are gifts and talents are

to succeed at our purpose. 

Our health with body and minds

are next. How to accomplish our

purpose.  

How much of our day should be

involved to accomplish all our

goals.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lay It Down

We should lay out lay down our lives 

for others. It is never easy as it is not 

our nature.For parents it easier to do so for their children however we should do so for

everyone. 

This is another area our purpose it is 

not about us but others. We do all things

for others and God. Again it is not easy.

We must do the very best we can.

 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Peace

It is important for all of us to have

peace in our lives. Beginning of 2026

is a good time to do it. 

First limit your time on the internet. 

Those you don't agree with politically

I would stop for a few weeks. Most 

likely you are not going to change 

their side of politics anyway. If they

are family or friends don't talk politics 

at all. If you were over at their house

or vice versa you probably wouldn't 

do it anyway. 

Those things on line in the news for

instance may not be the truth and spend

less time on them too. If you are in any 

groups you can stop for a short period 

or don't visit as long.  Limit your time. 

Encourage those you meet and have a

smile too. Be sure to be encouraged 

by them to since we are on the same

street do to speak. 

No matter the weather sun, rain or snow

have a good attitude. This goes for

anything you don't like so much. 

Take a few minutes every day and relax.

Breathe in and out. This is important if

you start feeling stressed. I heard more

people died of stress than anything.

The reason my cardiologist told me 

not be so stressed. 

Number one though is to go to Jesus

Christ the prince of peace. Life may

take a while to change however he will

do it for you.  Peace. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

 

Knowing Ourselves

What is a key to our life and our purpose  knowing who we are and what God 

says about us.

Do you know God knows us better than 

 anyone including ourselves.

He is here to listen to us and    has the answers even  though we wonder whether 

he is listening or not.

Keep open communication with God.

He may surprise you a lot. Listen to

him he knows your bright future.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Waiting Game

A lot of people  might be playing the

waiting  game and now  it is time to

get into  the real life purpose  game.

There might be good reasons they

are waiting.  The next step might be

another job or they are planning on

retirement.  They maybe playing

life purpose  but not  fully. 

There those who are waiting  because

they don't  feel  qualified to play life

purpose.  They may think they need 

the finances or the gifts or talents 

to play. 

Part of the game does take finances

but it shouldn't  stop you from playing 

the games. Ask God for the finances 

to play the game fully. In the New

Testament  when Jesus Christ  spoke

about talents  money was included.

Take the  finances and make them 

grow.

I am sure there  are  those  who are

playing  life purpose without knowing 

they are. This is ok too.

Having a Healthy 2026

When many said to have a healthy good 

year I figured it is good for everyone.

I began about a month ago to add 

yoga to my exercise especially stretching 

each day. It is amazing how much better 

I do feel.

It is good to breathe as well. Yoga doesn't 

have to be long just a few minutes. I

 that I can n  be walking  better too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello 2026

Now we will see what challenges 

come ahead in 2026. 

We could have some gifts and

talents added to what we already

have.

We could add new friendships 

and ones that came in 2025

and before become stronger.

We may add those to mentor 

and have a deeper bond with

those who mentor is. 

The importance is to have a

good attitude starting the

year. We have a list what we 

want to accomplish as well.

Be blessed as 2026 has begun.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
