Resilience - The Glorious Bounce-Back!

I am thrilled! My Goodness Magazine’s topic this issue is (drum roll, please . . .) Resilience! You know, falling down and getting back up again… falling down again and back up again… One of the best things about life and God is that we get to begin again – into eternity. Each one of us has our own story of overcoming adversity, a “how I got over” experience, a “there but for the grace of God go I” season. Resilient is what we all are. Life creates it in us, demands it of us even – all for our highest and best good.

In this issue you’ll find kindred spirits. On her Fill Your Spirit page, Nicole has written a humbling and introspective article titled Fight or Flight: A Retrospective. Check out my article in Feed Your Mind, The Buoyancy of Belief. I share the story of a remarkable young woman who knows what it is to be a living miracle. Take some time in our Feed Your Soul section, where you’ll find a poem titled “The Process” written by Puritee that beautifully illustrates the workings of a resilient life. And we are so please to introduce you to an incredible woman walking, even now, in resilience on the Find Your Flow page. Breast cancer survivor Cindy Del Hierro has discovered a little something we can all benefit from. Don’t miss it! Finally, we are beyond excited to at last debut a section we hope becomes more regular . . . our guest contributor page, Follow Your Heart! Our first guest writer, Pastor Sylvia Penny, shares an inspired article about overcoming adversity that will have you feeling like you just left the church house! Fire!

So, what are you waiting for? Come on in. You can read some stuff or write some stuff, but whatever you do we pray that you grow the good!

Peace and Blessings,
