We all have events in life that may tear away a piece of us for an indefinite amount of time if we allow it. However, events in life also teach us; engage us to do better and be better people; to love more and worry less… the list can go on and on. Each person’s experience of those events may be identical to yours or totally different. Yet, we all must learn how to embrace all the positiveness of each event that happens in our lives so that way we won’t lose ourselves in it a

The familiar adage...we are what we choose to eat, think, and do physically… is still the holistic home front. Bring on healthy attitudes and productive management to your lives and live abundantly. It may not be easy and may never stop being that way. You may also experience failures along the way. However, you must remain steady as she goes and weather whatever extras come up.   It's what’s for life- Your life.   Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching LLC. LifeSkillsAuth

When we think about friendship, we think of those who love us unconditionally. In deep respect of friendship, it is not an association of sorts, but it is a bond that brings about an understanding of the other person; you know them like you would your blood family and can trust them in ways you cannot even fathom.   Friendship is awesome and very good for your health and well-being. Try to be open and get to know someone and see how it goes. Remember friendship must be built

Relationships can be wonderful! We adore our loved ones and always try to be there to help them. This is good and healthy to a point. But when your helping makes you start to feel you’re within the problem…take steps backwards as this is not healthy as you do not want to become their dependent go to source. Your loved ones’ issues don’t really have anything to do with you so why are you trying so hard to help? It is their path to deal with and find answers and that includes g

What about full moons?  What is it about full moon days that make some people a bit leery and uneasy? And yes, through ages of time we have all heard many weird things that have been associated with a full moon. However, a chapter of the Bible I feel blends well concerning our moon as follows: Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven-fold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord binds up the brokennes

Depending on where you live and time of season…This morning many of you may see the sun just starting to crest across the ocean floor, hear chickadees singing their early morning call to be fed, watching certain flowers unfold to show vital beauty as if it was just being born, hearing sounds from the diners as you walk past them to catch the bus because you enjoy and know that fresh bread is being baked and you also get that whiff of fresh brewed coffee filling your nostrils

A friend is someone who gets you at least much of the time. A friend is someone who loves and cares about you unconditionally. There is nothing you need to do for them first so that they will do for you. NO expectations place on the relationship like that. There are no ropes and ties, deceit or behind the lines gossip binding the relationship like that. Call on them, visit them, spend special times together; be with them just because. A friend is to you like Jesus is to all-H

On a beautiful sunny day…, lie on the grass, look up to the skies and let your mind become one with it. Time isn’t an issue. Do this again at night while the stars are out.   Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching LLC. LifeSkillsAuthor.com Brenda Rockward.

What about lessons?   The lessons we learn every day are an important factor to what happens next in our lives if we bear a listening ear. Lessons can be inspirational and provide much wisdom. Read between the lines on this? If you never try to learn about someone…who they really are, then you have wasted not only time, but a well-deserved lesson in life. Increase your lesson of gaining wisdom by opening your ears; allow your mind and soul to expand for truth.   Copyright © 2

Picture this: You start the morning of your day ready to make your mark on the world… but that morning has a tone already set for things you were not ready for. What do you do with this? I find that if you try hard not to let that tone rule your emotions you are already off to a great start. Do you let the tone control how you embark on the rest of your day? Do you allow the tone to cause a pitted feeling in your soul that just eats away at you? I find trying to understand wh

It is always great practice to remember and enact these things: 1. GOD first 2. Your Life, Health, & Leisure Desires 3. Your Profession If you give all to your work and nothing else, it means nothing. There must be a balance. So, I suggest analyzing where you were and where you are about to embark; making improvements and do things differently; make all three things work in unison. One without the other is a lonely place and what that is fruitful have you planted. Copyright ©

For many people in this world, there is a constant flow of void; sometimes it can feel like a little voice inside saying to you “something is missing or not complete; not fulfilled”. It grows over time and may even dangle in the background of your subconscious and then suddenly it surfaces again and again. You try to shake it off but know deep inside your soul there truly is something with reverence pulling, tugging, and breathing in every ounce of oxygen in your body. It may

  Today…, Take measurement of what your life means, such as what ups and downs (difficulties) have crossed your path, and what apparitions have made you stronger. Has your life up to today been exciting? Have you taken a leap of faith and allowed yourself to leave your comfort zone and experience something truly special; something special just for you? No guilty conscience allowed. If many of your answers are “No” then what is the problem?   Remember, “Nothing is fruitfully g

Healing from your past can be emotionally challenging. Take a crosswalk of your past and move beyond. What I mean by this is to first talk to God about whatever is going on inside you. For me, talking to God allowed me to digress without having to hear everyone’s solutions to what I was experiencing. It allowed me to forgive myself and ask for forgiveness on whatever was not my fault or in something that was not in my control to begin with. It allowed me to see a path on star

Stop talking in riddles with each other. Time is precious. Be clear on what you communicate so the person on the receiving end does not have to interpret/read between the lines. If this is practiced daily, what the receiver hears as unclear will not exist. The purity of it, however, will exist and that it is a fantastic place to be with each other or even for business communication practices. Take along with that your faith in God. If you do not have faith…ask God for a relat

Be not a slave to your life. No matter your profession, title and so on…you do not have to be a slave to it. Take time to reflect on important points; remember those things you do not or cannot control. Think of the definition of slave, which is that which portrays an individual being owned by someone else or in some cases an individual nestling him or herself into the ground with hours upon hours of work with no living to it. This way, you can succeed in whatever you do or p

The title alone probably makes many people wonder…how do I create a better life or what is considered living a better life. I am right there with you in this thought.   A better life as I define it is that which makes you feel whole and complete. You have no urgency’s that causes a stir in your life because you are at a place where you have faith and understand where your life stands with or without a significant other.   Now, how do you create a better life?   Well, first an

Men take care of your wives and Wives take care of your men. Be there for each other on a spiritual and mutual basis in every detail of your life together. Never allow “taking for granted” to become a part of your lives or judgement. Be honest and not afraid of full disclosure as you should have nothing to hide from each other. Make this day and every day from now on a day of atonement with each other and with God.   Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching LLC. LifeSkillsAu

Start now; today, acknowledging pain, anxiety, worry…; those things that are negatively influential upon you. Try to realize why these events are occurring so you can release them. Remember, these things are not a permanent fixture of yours; they come and go and do not define you per se. The only way these events stick around, and cause chaos and disruption, is because you allow them to do so and or perhaps because you feel you deserve it.   How you see your future self is re

First, do you know what the term value means when it comes to life, decisions, and what you are made of (your core). Values are things that you usually have a convicted belief in and usually live your life by those standards. It is those convicted beliefs that mold how your life may or may not turn out and this includes you having a relationship or marriage with another person. For situations like this I have always found it helpful to read Psalm of David 15 NLT. Now that we
