Have you ever heard that Albert Einstein quote, “Coincidences are God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
I personally don’t believe in coincidences; I truly feel that when they happen we are witnessing God’s hand at work and personal intervening in our lives.
And for me lately, they’ve been happening faster and faster and more frequently.
And it’s been pretty awesome!
I speak about this today and not specifically a “health” or “fitness” topic, because I wanted to share with you my experience and ask you if you’re opening your eyes to see God’s working all around and intimately in your daily life as well. And if you’re not, ask Him to open your eyes to see it. Because I promise you, it’s not because He’s absent!
I recently had an epiphany and some realizations about how I was viewing God in context to my childhood and cultural/societal experiences, and how they were actually false beliefs and not the true representation of God’s character that we learn about in the Bible.
They were pretty heavy, and freeing, realizations! But I wouldn’t have seen them had I not been willing to look inward.
Sometimes we need to take a step back and examine our upbringings and experiences in our past that may be erroneously shaping our view of God. And if you’re not careful, you could go your whole life without truly feeling and experiencing God and His work in your life, to the fullest that He desires you to.
And THAT would be a true tragedy.
>>Final Thought: My challenge to you today is to journal and be brave enough to ask yourself:
- Am I open to seeing and recognizing God’s personal presence in my daily life?
- Am I seeing ‘coincidences’ as God’s divine interaction in my life, or as completely unrelated?
- Am I willing to open my mind and my eyes to look anew at my daily circumstances, to acknowledge the hand of God moving in and through me and my life?
These are some pretty heavy questions to unpack, but their value and freedom they can bring to you is priceless. I hope you’ll take the time to let them change you, from the inside.#youreworthit

P.S. Can you see the power in these journaling questions? Are you feeling like you’re NOT seeing God moving in your life on a personal level? That you’re stuck in a rut in your physical or spiritual health and you don’t know how to climb out?

I absolutely love this quote by Maya Angelou, but I’d like to add one more thing from my experience today: 4) Being in a fender bender.
The lady who backed into me was so apologetic and kept saying, “Thank you so much for not yelling at me!”
Wait a second. …..WHAT??!
You’re very welcome for not yelling at you, but I wasn’t even angry or upset! Why would I be? That’s why it’s called an ACCIDENT. …..and we’ve ALL been on the other end of the coin and would WE have liked being yelled at? No!
So I pose this question to you: When something unexpected happens that you didn’t have control over, what is your first initial gut reaction?
Anger? Frustration? Indignation? Fury?
Because what is lying under the surface says A LOT about the status of your soul.
Is it at rest, not to be easily rattled, or is it bubbling with dissatisfaction, ready to unleash against anything or anyone at the next opportunity?
9 times out of 10, were you really that angry at that person about that situation? Or are you willing to look deeper to see if your feelings are misplaced about some heart issues that have been lying dormant, not being tended to. #thetruthcanhurt
It’s amazing the peace we can have, amidst almost ANY situation, if we deal with the deeper issues our past, our brokenness, our hurts and our pain. Putting them into the light, bringing them up to the surface to be properly dealt with, seen and released.
Asking for God’s help to heal the cracks and mend the tears.
Finally letting our soul be free.
Seeing day-to-day situations as they SHOULD be, not blown out of proportion and misdirected. Turn the mirror on yourself and be brave enough to begin the healing. ♡
Shooting, cramping, stinging, electric pain in the butt! And sometimes down your leg. Let me introduce you to sciatica.
If you’re lucky enough to have never been in its grips, good for you!! But chances are you’ve heard others talk about it, or even had someone close to you suffer with it.
And as a physical therapist I’ve been recently treating it A LOT lately, so it occurred to me to pass on some tips to you on how to get it under control at home–and fast!
As terrible and debilitating as the pain can be at its worst, just knowing a few simple home techniques, and how to apply them properly, can DRAMATICALLY reduce the pain. And when you’re suffering, pain relief can’t come fast enough!
But with some very specific actions and techniques you can get an immediate reduction in the pain until it gets better day by day, until it’s eventually gone–And yes, we can help it to be completely gone.
So here’s how to get the low-down.
This Thursday, August 4th @ 6:30pm PST I’m doing a live training call about exactly how to RECOGNIZE, TREAT and RID yourself of sciatica pain–PLUS–I’m including time for live Q&A to help you individually–all for only $99. Wait, strike that. All for just $29!
It’s kind of insane to give away these expert insider techniques for self-treatment and RAPID pain reduction for sciatica for such a minimal cost, but this problem can be so debilitating that I want whoever NEEDS and wants this information, to have a no-brainer price point to get it.
(Oh and yes, I forgot to mention it WILL be recorded if you’re not able to make it live. So if you register, then you will be emailed the recording, you just won’t be able to ask me questions live.) 😉
I love helping as many people as possible with the abundance of knowledge and training that I have, so if this particular training and subject meets your needs, sign up here and I look forward to sharing with you THIS THURSDAY!
Register here. After payment is received, details on how to join the live training call will be emailed to you. 🙂 Chat soon!
Your sister in Christ,
~Dr. Melody
P.S. This training is open to everyone! So if you know a friend or loved one who has been plagued by sciatica on and off for years and never fully able to get it resolved (or maybe is experiencing it now!) please forward this game-changing info to them and share openly on your networks of choice. Thanks for helping me get the word out to help more people! #DrMelody #healthandhopemotivator
