Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

When the future feels shaky and the world seems out of control, hope is often what’s missing. But here’s where you check your pulse: hope is not wishful thinking or vague optimism. Real hope is a confident expectation anchored in the faithfulness of God. Jeremiah 29:11 cuts through the noise: ā€œFor I know the plans I have for you,ā€ declares the Lord, ā€œplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.ā€ Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is no fairy tale without effort. It demands work, dedication, and a clear purpose to turn the ordinary into an extraordinary journey. When that effort wanes, couples find themselves facing the big ā€˜D’—divorce. No one wants that outcome. Yet, many walk down the aisle with hope for forever, only to get distracted by the temptation of greener grass elsewhere. But the problem is that they're digging for gold in the wrong places. Picture this: It’s Black Friday, and everyone’s scouring the stores, hunting for the best deals, the quickest wins, the most immediate gratification....

Raising kids with kind hearts filled with gratitude feels like an uphill battle these days. It’s no secret that screens dominate their attention—heads buried in phones and tablets, tuning out the world around them. But it doesn't have to be this way. If we let kids do what they want with technology, many will struggle to grasp what it really means to be kind, respectful, and thankful.

Thanksgiving often nudges us to list the people we appreciate—the family, friends, mentors, colleagues. But this year, let’s flip the script. Before you reach out to thank another, consider turning your gratitude inward. What if today, the letter of thanksgiving you write is to yourself?

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denials into acceptance chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie Gratitude isn’t just about saying ā€œthank you.ā€ Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . There’s a subtle but powerful difference between being thankful and being grateful. Thankfulness happens in the mind — it’s the polite acknowledgment of something received.

3891 Create Margin To Do What Matters show art 3891 Create Margin To Do What Matters

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Far too often, we’re caught in a relentless cycle of ā€œputting out firesā€ — responding to demands, answering endless messages, attending meetings that don’t move the needle.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

It’s a time when expectations run high, and focusing on what truly matters often feels like an uphill battle.

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.

3888 Capture the Moment, Not Perfection show art 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 ā€œperfect momentā€ alert. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

I loved this year's motto, "You are created for more, so embrace 2024." 

Now that all sounds good and great. But do you believe it? Do you really think beyond what you see? Can you imagine how your life can be different based on your choices?

"Rise up! Stand up! Stop hiding in the midst of the chaos. Stop playing the victim when you can choose to change your direction."

The K.I.S.S. ~ Rise above the shadows!

Shed the cloak of victimhood. Stand tall amidst the chaos and boldly step forward into the light of empowerment and self-determination. It requires a conscious decision to confront and overcome the challenges that attempt to dim your light.

In the words of the legendary Maya Angelou, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."

Our lives are a canvas waiting to be painted with intentionality and purpose. 

Every thought, every action, every response shapes the masterpiece you are becoming. As you move forward with determination and mindfulness, honor the potential that resides within you and leads to greatness.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

So, as you journey through this year of endless possibilities, carry within you the belief that you can conquer any obstacle, overcome any adversity, and realize your most audacious dreams. Choose to change your direction. Rise above the shadows, for you are indeed created for more.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
