Overcoming Destructive Cycles

Why do we do the very things we don't want to do? Paul asked this in Romans 7. Everyone gets stuck in some destructive pattern. Whether it's over-working ourselves, anger, shopping, staying busy, or over-eating - the list of ways we cope is endless. Unless we get to the root of the issue we'll always turn to a substitute for growing healthy relationships. This blog addresses many of the unhealthy ways that we function - and offers easy ways to turn things around.

About Me

Destructive Cycles
Proud grandmother - and mother to five incredible young adults! I'm a visionary who is often unsettled - thus finding new adventures. I'm pretty private but love quite deeply. I'm reserved but passionate in many areas. I love my family and friends! I am grateful for the life that God has given to me! I was the founding Executive Director of Acres of Hope and had the wonderful opportunity to create this dynamic ministry. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management from CSU, Sacramento. Prior to Acres of Hope I served as the Executive Director for the California Coalition for Youth (CCY) where I oversaw the operations of the California Youth Crisis Line, the only statewide crisis hotline serving at-risk youth. I also served as the Program Administrator for the California Tax Education Council (CTEC), a statewide nonprofit organization previously operated by the Department of Consumer Affairs and was formed by the State Legislature to have oversight by a private entity. My husband, Darrell, and I lived in Rocklin CA and are beginning a new chapter in our lives of being grandparents - which moves us to Indianola Iowa in 2009.
