A Little About Carmen

Hey! I’m so glad you stopped by for a visit. In the deep south, where porch sittin’ and sweet, iced tea is a welcome part of any day, our conversation is casual. Take a deep breath and relax. You’re with friends.

My fella and I have been married for 40+ years, and we have a beautiful daughter who is a joy. I come from a large extended family that is one of my biggest blessings.

Women’s ministry is my calling. Coaching, writing, and speaking are a few ways God uses me to pour into the lives of His girls. Women are so multi-faceted and resilient. I’m glad God decided He wanted another daughter. I love to talk and laugh, so should we meet, we would sit down for a chat and be laughing before we parted. 

In many ways, I have life coached for years. I just didn’t know what to call it. Mentoring, lay counseling, and offering a listening ear (or text) were excellent growing grounds for the seeds of this ministry.

My dad was an alcoholic and I was molested by a friend’s dad when I was a child. Experiencing healing of my own damaged heart (through my relationship with Jesus) taught me tools I now offer the brokenhearted. Plowing through unhealthy thinking in my own life has helped me see how changing our perspective on our circumstances and situations changes our reaction. I like to call it Perspective Power! 

I received my certification as a Board Certified Advanced Life Coach through Light University and the American Association of Christian Counselors.

Strong women are my heritage. My mom is my hero. She moved into her eternal home with Jesus in 2018. Mom lived her life as a forward thinker. She demonstrated over and over that no matter how often life knocks you down, you get up, dust yourself off, and start again. She had a contagious inner joy. With her beautiful playful spirit, she brought a smile to everyone around her. 

Big family gatherings, church potlucks, and getting together with friends are some of my favorite times. Studying God’s Word, especially with a group of women, brings me joy. Learning together builds friendships for a lifetime.

I love the beach — the sound of the waves, the smell of the salty air, and the breeze blowing in off the water ministers to me deeply.  Ahhh, and let’s not forget toes in the sand. I am hoping that God will set me up in a cute little bungalow on the beach with a closet full of chocolate for my eternal home with Him. :)  For now, my family calls the Bayou State home.

I covet your prayers. More than ever, I need Holy Spirit to anoint my words – whether spoken or written – with His power, His wisdom, His compassion, and His understanding. My prayer is that Jesus, the ultimate Life Coach, and Hope Giver will shine so very brightly through His divine connections.

Wherever you are in life, you are welcome here. I sure hope you stop by for another visit soon!

"It takes a depth of pride to accept our way might not be the best way or the only way...' If Carmen had not already made me a follower of her blog, that one sentence would have had me hooked. It's not always easy to find someone who writes in ways we can relate. Carmen makes me stop and take a deep long look at who I am and where I want to be in my walk with Christ. I trust her to be a truth teller and a peace maker. Not only has she encouraged me so many times, but often my heart is pierced to make a change."

"Rarely will you find a woman with such a servant’s heart as Carmen Horne. I have had the pleasure of attending many church events, trips, and girl lunches with Carmen over the past sixteen years. She continues to be one of my favorite mentors whether in North Louisiana or on the beach in Florida, which is probably OUR FAVORITE place! She uses her kind and faithful heart when giving advice or mentoring others. Carmen is truly a light to many and guides you to find the light in yourself no matter how faint it may be. Hebrews 13:7"
