I’ve been away from my blog for a bit.  I have fresh writing ideas every day but I just haven’t made it a priority to record them here. There are many reasons why but that doesn’t matter.
I know now that I am to write here again. I also know I am to finish another book.
I want to start some courageous conversations. Many things we discuss will be from the book I’ve been working on for the last ten years. Stories of HOPE from the journals of my life. Will you join in and share your story?
I’ve been doing much work on learning to be a better wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

A whole hearted Gigi.

Not the Gigi who wears a smile when she is actually deeply sad. (Take off the mask, Gigi)
Not the Gigi who fears to be honest because I want you to like me. (You are enough, Gigi)
Not the Gigi who lives with shame and guilt. (God loves you always, Gigi)
In my research and study, I’ve devoured many books, spent hours in counseling and listened to more teaching CD’s than I can count. I could probably wallpaper my living room with the jackets of the CD’s I’ve heard.
Now it’s time to share what I’ve learned.
It is my hope that in sharing, I will grab your hand and take you along this journey with me to whole hearted living.
Recently I read three books written by Dr. Brene Brown.

I’ve also listened to several of her audio CD’s and watched her TED Talks. If you don’t know her work, please check it out. It has been life changing for me.

In the next several months, I want to start some courageous conversations about all that I’ve come to know in the last several years.

I pray you will join in this courageous conversation. And together we can live the life God created us to live for such a time as this. I believe the world is waiting for us to be courageous.
So let’s have a courageous conversation.
Bless your courageous heart,
Gigi
