Coaching Café: E-Factor – Limiting Beliefs
In the last Coaching Café at Legacy Now Lived column we discussed Self-Fate and how, because we are making choices based on our past experiences, we cannot change our future unless the control of the past is removed.
We need to learn to make conscious choices, choices that are made in the present moment, without all the emotional “baggage” we carry around. You can think of that baggage as being packed in four kinds of suitcases – the “Big 4” energy blocks that we carry around with us that dictate how we see the world and that hold Read More

How The Hen House Turns: … Language Of Caring
How the Hen House TurnsNot only lions respond to a kind gesture. Androcles plucked a thorn from the lion’s paw, but he lucked out; the lion seemed to understand that Andy was trying to help. I wasn’t so lucky.
For three long weeks I watched as Peeky, our daughter’s first chicken, sat on her nest full of eggs. Her dedication worried me. Setting hens are not like normal chickens. They are totally dedicated beings—focused on the task at hand. When they set, they set, and they don’t move except to fluff their feathers and cluck at intruders. Read More

Smart Design With Suzette: How To Design A Home Office
Home Office. Courtesy photoWhether your home office is designated for running a business, the occasional telecommute, or simply a nook for paying bills, a well-designed home office is a necessity. It should be a place you want to work in.

How The Hen House Turns: Nanny And A Book
How The Hen House TurnsWhen the Hen House was ready, complete with hand-picked straw in the nest boxes, we packed everyone into the car on the pretense of visiting friends in the valley.
When we turned into the yard where we were to choose Shawne’s birthday present, we found to our horror that many chickens were running around loose, with no insulated, bomb-sturdy Hen House to shelter them.
Shawne took great delight in picking out three hens to take home. Nanny was a little hen with dark red feathers. She was easy to catch. What amazed me most, Read More
Pastor Granillo: Embracing The Big Picture
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOI can relate to poor ol’ Peter in the Bible. He means well but has a tendency of putting his foot in his mouth at all the wrong times. I think I relate to him because I see so many of us “regular folk” in his methods and in his heart. He loves Jesus, he knows Jesus is the Messiah, he anticipates all the great things that are being done through Jesus; but when Jesus tells him something that doesn’t fit into his picture of what God is supposed to do, Peter actually pulls Him aside and rebukes Him! (Mark 8:31-32).
Can you imagine hearing God say one thing and then you pull Him to the Read More
