Colleen Sheehy Orme
Most people spend their time trying to connect the dots to all facets of their life. The so-called work-life balance. It’s a common complaint and many would say they never seem to accomplish it.

3 Steps to Accepting Your Pain as Your Purpose
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
This is a hard one. We tell ourselves that bad things happen for a reason – until they happen to us. We can take the ‘little’ bad stuff but the ‘big’ bad – not so much. It’s not that we don’t have the faith to accept our pain as our purpose but rather we wish…

By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
When I began attending professional writers conferences I would eagerly sit and listen to editors speak of ‘finding your voice.’ At the time, all I could think was…’What the heck does that mean?’ I’m writing my heart out.

By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
“True love causes pain. Jesus, in order to give us the proof of his love, died on the cross. A mother, in order to give birth to her baby, has to suffer. If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.” “Holiness grows fast where there is kindness. I…

Are You Too Self-Deprecating?
By
Colleen Sheehy Orme
I have always been somewhat self-deprecating but not what I would call extreme. Recently, as someone complimented me I caught myself once again, taking back their compliment. Instead of humbly replying with a ‘thank you’ I apologized about my weight gain. Something to the effect, “Ugh, I don’t look anything like myself.” This is my…
