Military Mom Talk Radio welcomes Lynette Lovelace of Lifetherapy, Author Donna Mull and Author Leila Levinson

Lynette Lovelace combined her spirit, enthusiasm for life, and 20 years of harnessing her inner gifts and created a line of luxury apothecary products inspired by the therapeutic powers of fragrance and mood.  Based on the simple yet influential notion of "Choosing Your Mood," Lifetherapy aims to encompass the various experiences of life (such as love, hardship, glory, serenity) while arousing the senses and allowing an escape from everyday life.

If you could capture the moments of your personal journal, your life, how would you go about doing that?  Lovelace encourages those around her to imagine their lives as a journal, keeping in mind that every soul is unique. She has relentlessly filled her journals of life with ideas, creativity, moods and inspiration.  Some journals have lines that define text, others are blank and allow for limitless expression; some remain empty yet alive with thoughts, intentions and daydreams, while others explode with sketches, intricate memories and quotes of loved ones.

"When a soldier serves, so does the family". Author Donna Mull saw that statement on the shirts some military wives were wearing at a Fourth of July parade as they marched with their husbands. Suddenly, that statement had become personal. She had heard stories about mothers whose faithful prayers had changed lives. When her son received his orders for deployment to Iraq, she wanted to be one of those mothers. Equally motivated by love and pain, Ms. Mull embarked on a year-long journey of prayer, writing weekly devotionals that focused on the specific needs of soldiers and their families. She then forwarded them to friends and family, who used them as springboards for their own prayer times. If you have a loved one in the military, chances are you are engaged in a battle of your own. Will your loved one survive? Will you? How will you cope while your soldier is away? When your soldier returns, will he or she be changed?   The Scripture-based prayers in Donna Mull's A Prayer Journey Through Deployment will speak to your anxious heart with words of encouragement.  Our loving Father understands your vulnerability, and you can rest assured that you are not alone.  He will share your burden, and he will never leave your side.
