3890 A Heart of Gratitude
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As the holiday season unfolds around us, the pull of distractions and pressures can easily divert our mind, body, and spirit from the path God desires. It’s a time when expectations run high, and focusing on what truly matters often feels like an uphill battle. But there is one simple yet powerful weapon we can wield to stay grounded: a heart of gratitude. Psalm 118:24 sets the tone perfectly: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

3889 Whatever Happens, Choose Us
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The holiday season — a time when most expect joy and togetherness — often arrives wrapped in stress, tension, and expectations that feel impossible to meet. It’s no surprise that fights flare more frequently during this time, as couples get caught in a tug-of-war between family demands, unmet hopes, and sheer exhaustion. The mountain looks too huge to climb. But it doesn’t have to break you or your marriage. Because whatever happens, choose us. What have your holidays looked like before? Are you someone who wants to control everything to minimize the possible chaos? Desire to be...

3888 Capture the Moment, Not Perfection
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life takes over, it has a way of swallowing your heart and demanding your head show up instead. We’re wired to want control—to have everything in order, to anticipate and prevent the unexpected. It feels safer that way. But as a parent, the more you chase perfection, the more you miss the raw, imperfect, priceless moments that really define your relationship with your child. Capture the moment, not perfection. Let’s be honest: no family runs on a flawless schedule. Kids don’t come with a manual or a “perfect moment” alert. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3887 Action Detangles Chaos
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Chaos feels like a storm that drowns out everything else — your dreams, your confidence, your clarity. When life tosses curveballs, it’s easy to fixate on what you can’t do, what slipped through your fingers, or what’s falling apart. But what you can’t do doesn’t define you. Holding on to those failures or limitations only keeps you stuck in the mud, blinding you to where your power really lies. Action detangles chaos. So stop. Drop the weight of what’s beyond your control. That’s not where your focus belongs. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

3886 Tip the Scales
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The holidays hit your healthy living like a wrecking ball. Sweet desserts, salty snacks, savory feasts—your taste buds get a nonstop assault that leaves them confused and craving more. Add the shorter days and the time change, and suddenly the daily walk feels like climbing Everest after a long day packed with endless commitments. Healthy living during the holidays can feel impossible. But you can still tip the scales. Not just for a quick win, but to build a lifestyle that carries you through the seasons.

3885 Simplicity Is Enough
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We live in a culture that glorifies complexity and chaos—complicated schedules, endless goals, nonstop hustle. Yet, most of that noise isn’t helping you. You’re beating yourself up for what you don’t have, tangled in past disappointments, and paralyzed by fear that’s mostly imagined. None of that moves the needle. What if, for just one moment, you accepted that simplicity is enough? Imagine stripping away the must-dos, the overwhelm, the fears, and the doubts. Too often, though, we create monsters in our heads, just like we did when we were little and the monsters were under the bed....

3884 Running to Stand Still
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too much to do and holidays too close, how do you keep up with all of it the most? Every day can get you down when you keep going around. You claim you're busy, but you're just dizzy. Nothing will change until—you stop running to stand still. Why do we keep trying to convince ourselves that we can do everything? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The myth of doing it all drains energy, steals joy, and steals our clarity. It’s called busy for a reason—but busy isn’t always progress. Sometimes it’s just noise. It’s absolutely okay to...

3883 For When I Am Weak
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Your struggle isn't a solo mission. In fact, rest is on the other side of surrender. The apostle Paul writes of this truth in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Think about it—how quick are we to shout from the rooftops all the things...

3882 Stepping Toward Each Other When It Hurts Most
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Conflict in marriage isn’t just about the argument itself. It’s about the distance it creates—the silence, the hurt, the confusion about where “we” stand. Coming back together after conflict isn’t automatic. It requires intentional, courageous steps that go beyond "Let's just forget it" or “Sorry.” It's all about stepping toward each other when it hurts most. Every marriage faces its share of conflict and miscommunication. It’s not a sign that something is broken beyond repair—it's simply human nature.

3881 Parents—Stir The Fire!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting demands a strong backbone. When the storms of family life rage hardest—temper tantrums, teenage rebellion, mounting stress—it’s tempting to shut down or retreat into silence, hoping the problem will just pass. But here’s the hard truth: the parents’ job is not to run from the heat. It’s to stir the fire just enough so real growth can happen. Why? Because your child’s greatest lessons don’t come from perfect moments or rehearsed speeches. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . They come from raw, real-life...

Maybe you feel a little less secure with your decisions, thoughts, or actions.
Taking time to reflect on where you are in life can be overwhelming yet, very freeing at the same time.
Hard to imagine when you're in the thick of things. However, when you make space to see what you really don't want to, that's when change occurs.
So break the mold of what you know, and create a rhythm of celebration.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Create a rhythm of celebration!
Now you are probably wondering about the type of celebration. Some would think about positive affirmations or positive thinking. And yes, that can work, but if you want to make it stick, you gotta go further.
This comes from matching how you feel to what you see to what you speak to what you think. It's the internal messages that keep repeating themselves.
For example, you can say that today you will do great things. But if you aren't feelin' it, those great things just might be put on hold.
Your mind, body, and spirit must all be on board.
- What are you claiming for yourself? What are the truths that God sees in you? And how does that compare to what you believe in yourself? If you stay knocked up with the intentions of perfection, performance, and problems, you will never get to where you want to go. The book will not be written. The children will not have their momma at home. The business will not get off the ground. Because you are too grounded in what must be earned versus what you already have or your potential. What are you claiming for yourself? Does that match what is possible?
- Dance with the small stuff. You don't need an excuse to celebrate your greatness. You don't need to wait until the BIGGEST win. Dance with the small stuff.
- Fabricate a new neural pathway. You get to choose what you do every day and how you do it. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo You get to train your brain by expanding your horizon. "If you don't look beyond the boats, you won't see the rest of the water." ~ Kristianne Wargo
Life is too short to settle. Now, if you're honest with yourself, there will be times that you have not choice but to settle. However, in that moment, you are still deciding to make that decision. That still can be a celebration even if it's not what you expected.
My father passed away years too soon. But even in his passing, there was celebration.
What I'm trying to express here is that even in the worst circumstances, there still is room for celebration.
Sometimes we have to be reminded of the extreme to understand the peace of what celebration brings to the mind, body, and spirit.
CHALLENGE: What mountain can you conquer today simply by celebrating what is?
CAUTION: Stay away from the excuses that lead you astray and attempt to derail you.
CELEBRATE: Just do it!
This is your time to shine. Your life matters. What you do every day counts. So dance with the small stuff.
