Life Stories Shared

God's Plan, My Path (my life story) Part I

This is my full story, episode #1 from our “Truth, Tears, and Turning Points” series. In this series, I interview each willing member of my family, telling similar stories but vastly different journeys, and outcomes.
🤓 Let me just remind you, you've never heard me say, I'm not a dork!
My hope is that these stories will inspire you to tell your life story, and interview your family members. What experiences have you and they had that shaped who you are? And what does your 'dream future' life look like? If you're single and committed to making a positive impact in your life and the lives of others, open to change, and willing to put in the effort to upgrade your life, join us at thrivingsingles.com 💕 Let’s get connected!

83 Years of Life Lessons by Val Tillack

My mom shares her life story, using some prompts from my "Create Your Life Story" workbook. She describes her life as a voice of warning. I describe it as love, compassion, heartbreak, and peaceful, faithful endurance! She is our example, and the one any of us turn to when we need motherly anything; parenting advice, validation, compassion, hugs, or a warm, delicious Sunday meal.

"Standing at The Soft Edge of a Hard Place" by Denise Druce

Denise shares much of her life story with us, and lucky for me, I am part of her life story, and she's part of mine. My sister is incredible! From receiving the "World Inspiration Award" from IDEA Fit (the world's largest fitness organization) because of her service in prisons, to battling cancer for the second time, she is definitely standing at the soft edge of a hard place right now. She offers more inspiration, compassion, and encouragement than anyone else I know.
