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?

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 .

3880 Find Joy When Life Feels Like A Struggle
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t owe you an easy ride—and let’s be honest, it never will. The truth is this: tough weeks are part of the deal. You don’t get a pass because you’re tired, or because you’re giving everything you’ve got. But while life is relentless, your attitude doesn’t have to be. Find joy when life feels like a struggle. Waiting for “perfect” to show up before you allow yourself to smile? That’s a losing game. If you put happiness on hold until everything is exactly how you want it, it will never come.

3879 Get Your Head in the Game
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Living healthy isn’t just about what you eat or how often you move. It’s about staying sharp, focused, and fully engaged with your life and your body. But let’s be real — when your brain feels like it’s juggling 27 open tabs, and none of them are making sense, healthy living feels impossible. Tasks pile up. You start a project and end up lost in a scroll hole. It’s not a matter of laziness or a lack of willpower. Your brain is tapped out. So at some point, you've got to get your head in the game! Because if you don't, you'll be overloaded. Desire to be supported and encouraged by...

3878 Remove the Filter
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every day, we wear invisible masks—filters shaped by the expectations of others, the pressure to fit in, and the urge to appear flawless. We scroll through highlight reels of perfect lives on social media and wonder why our own feels so ordinary in comparison. So remove the filter. Because if you’re living for anyone else’s approval, you’re not living for yourself. And that leaves you with a life that feels filtered, diluted, and far from authentic.

3877 When Everything Is Falling Apart
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life’s storms don’t ask for permission. One moment, you’re steady; the next, it feels like the ground beneath you is crumbling. Demands from others pile up, your own expectations weigh heavy, and the dozens of responsibilities feel like a relentless avalanche. What do you do when everything is falling apart? You do know that you’ll never control every piece of the chaos. Trying to do so only drains your energy and keeps you spinning in place.

3876 What You Believe, You Become
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life pulls us in a thousand directions, and the chaos doesn’t stop there. Beyond the noise and the things out of our control, there’s something more powerful always happening — inside us. What you believe, you become. Too often, we look outside of ourselves — at circumstances, people, or temporary fixes — hoping to fill a void or answer a question only God can satisfy.

info_outlineWhat would happen if you stopped changing everything all the time to start fresh? Instead, you embrace your current reality and hold on to the seeds you already planted. Begin where you stand.
Whatever journey you're on with personal growth and self-improvement, the idea of starting from scratch can feel daunting. You become exhausted or overwhelmed before you even begin.

With so much advice on radical transformations and overnight successes, it's easy to overlook the power of beginning right where you are.
The key is understanding sustainable progress and lasting change.
In shorter terms-- Create your now!
As renowned philosopher Dr. John Demartini once said, "The foundation for everything you do in life is based on relationships. Begin with the relationship you have with yourself."
This sentiment beautifully encapsulates the essence of starting from where you stand – acknowledging and nurturing the resources and opportunities that are already present in your life.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Focus on what is right before you!
To focus on what is right before you, consider these three simple yet impactful steps:
1. Practice Gratitude: Take a moment each day to appreciate the blessings and lessons in your current situation. Gratitude helps shift your perspective towards abundance and allows you to see opportunities where you might have seen challenges. What do you know? What can you use and extend based on what you have? Gratitude helps to set your barometer to see what's possible in the work you're already doing.
2. Set Realistic Goals: Instead of aiming for drastic changes or unattainable outcomes, set small, achievable goals that align with your current circumstances. Incremental progress builds momentum and keeps you motivated along the way. You may be a big dreamer. But dreams take time. So, set those goals that help you gain momentum every day.
3. Embrace Your Journey: Accept that growth is a continuous process and that setbacks and obstacles are part of the path to success. Don't accept shortcuts. Embrace every experience as a valuable lesson that contributes to your growth and resilience. As you learn and grow, you are gaining territory that leads you closer to your dreams.
"In a world obsessed with reinvention, remember that true growth often comes from nurturing the seeds already planted." ~ Kristianne Wargo
This mindset shift can transform how you approach challenges and opportunities, empowering you to make sustained progress towards your goals. It's flexing that consistency component.
Remember, you are not re-starting; you are beginning where you stand. By focusing on what is right in front of you, you can cultivate a mindset of gratitude, set realistic goals, and embrace your journey with authenticity and resilience.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
