Divine Guidance

Trust

September 15, 2020 by Linda A Marshall 10 Comments

Trust Lacking It took me a long time to trust that I knew more than I thought I did. I vividly remember the first time I became aware of receiving a message from the still small voice of wisdom within me. I was young … twenty-four … and I didn’t fit in with my peers. […]

Happiness: How I Missed the Mark

May 24, 2017 by Linda A Marshall 10 Comments

As I mentioned in my previous posts, I moaned and groaned with the other women in my Cincinnati Writer’s Group as we came to our gathering to share what we wrote about “Happiness.” Today, I am quite happy that we chose to write and share on this topic because it has led to an important awakening in […]
