Exciting New Adventure in Life

I’m thrilled to be able to blog again about what I’m most passionate about in life.

For years, I used my website to train teachers about technology and then stopped when I took a corporate job.

Now I plan to use this site to empower women, men, caregivers, technology leaders, teachers, friends, and family to embrace your true identity and become the person God created you to be. I’d love to help you “find your spark.”

I officially retired from SYNNEX on Friday after 4 years in the corporate world. What an amazing experience it was and I’m so grateful for the time I spent there and the wonderful friends I made.  Many dreams came true as I traveled the country speaking about technology, education and IoT.

The next chapter in life involves slowing down and serving others.

I plan to take care of my adorable 94 year old mother who has macular degeneration and is an angel on earth.

mom and me

It is my distinct honor and joy to be able to spend precious time with her and document her life.

We plan to do an online talk show: Encouraging Words with Frankie and post on social media and here at www.franmauney.com

Always Love Your Mother

I am reading a wonderful book today called “Whispers of Rest” by Bonnie Gray.  I will share thoughts and scripture if you would like to be part of this journey with me.

On Day 1 I learned to say YES : Don’t be afraid and set my heart free.

What would you like to say YES to?

YES to more time with family.

YES to time with friends.

YES to time in nature.

Repeat the word YES all day and open your eyes to the possibilities around you.

My second piece of advice is to write daily: Journaling increases happiness. I  have journaled for 40 years. (This devotional lasts for 40 Days, a lot of important stories in scripture took place in 40 days.)

Sometimes it is hard to hear God’s voice when we are surrounded by stress and feel overwhelmed. When we start our day in prayer, read scripture and journal about our life this gives God space to rewrite our stories, we can lower anxiety and improve happiness.

I am praying for you and am thankful for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you!
