3902 Create Space for Christmas in the Chaos
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

3901 Show Up—Even When You're Tired
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
What is it about the weekend looming? The week has worn you down just enough to feel heavy in your bones. The kind of tired that seeps past the surface, whispering, “Just rest. Skip the weekend plans. Stay in bed.” Life’s been coming and going all week, and here you are—still expected to show up. I want to talk about that tiredness. Not to shame it or fix it with a magic pill, but to find honor in it. Because showing up—right where you are, even when you’re tired—is an act of courage wrapped in quiet grace.

3899 Your Heart is the Anchor
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The holiday season is notorious for turning you into a checklist machine. You wake up with a mental rundown of what must be done: complete Cyber purchases, groceries, school events, meal prep, work deadlines, holiday gatherings, gift wrapping, and on and on. By the time Tuesday is here, that list is already gnawing at your energy and your spirit. You're already wiped out just thinking about the week ahead. Sound too familiar? Well, here's your escape: Your to-do list does not anchor your life—your heart is the anchor. Psalm 46:10 reminds us to “Be still, and know that I am God.”...

3898 Living Life Out of Order
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
December evenings can feel like a pressure cooker. You scroll through Instagram and see everyone’s lives perfectly arranged: big wins, festive decor, smiling faces. Meanwhile, you’re staring down unfinished projects, mounting fatigue, and that nagging voice telling you you’re behind, failing, or simply out of place. Why does it feel like everyone else is moving forward, while you’re stuck living life out of order? Here’s the hard truth: comparison is a silent peace thief. When you measure your messy, nonlinear reality against others’ carefully curated timelines and highlight reels,...

3897 HOPE - The Faithfulness of God
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: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3896 Digging for Gold
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 ‘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....

3895 Raising Kids with Kind Hearts
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
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.

3894 The Letter of Thanksgiving
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Thanksgiving often nudges us to list the people we appreciate—the family, friends, mentors, colleagues. But this year, let’s flip the script.

3893 Gratitude Creates a Vision for Tomorrow
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
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 “thank you.” 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.

info_outlineWhen you're constantly seeking perfection, the pursuit of flawlessness can be exhausting. The impossible standards and endlessly tweaking your work and goals become a life of ideals. Shift your perspective; done is better than perfect.

The perfect day. The perfect weather. The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect bank account. The perfect kids. The perfect career. The perfect life!
But what if we shifted our perspective and embraced the beauty of imperfection? What if we let go of the need for everything to be perfect and instead focused on simply getting things done?
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." - Vince Lombardi
We live in a culture that often equates success with flawless execution. However, the reality is that perfection is an illusion – an unattainable goal that can leave us feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. In our quest for perfection, we may lose sight of the joy of creation and the satisfaction of completion.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now!
"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it." - Salvador Dali
As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it's important to remember that perfection is not the ultimate goal. Instead, focusing on progress, growth, and perseverance can lead to greater fulfillment and satisfaction. By embracing the mantra "done is better than perfect," we can free ourselves from the shackles of perfectionism and allow ourselves to simply do our best in the moment.
"Progress, not perfection." - Unknown
That's what we're headed for. Are you?
Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, successes and failures. Rather than fixating on achieving perfection, choose to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. Each step forward, no matter how imperfect, brings you closer to your goals and dreams.
Done is better than perfect. Create your now!
Remember, the creative process is inherently messy. "Art is never finished, only abandoned," said Leonardo da Vinci. This notion can free you from the prison of perfection. Accepting that there will always be a few rough edges allows you to release your work into the world, where its value transcends its imperfections.
As Kristianne Wargo once said, "Embrace the journey, celebrate the progress, and remember that done is better than perfect."
So, the next time you find yourself hesitating, paralyzed by the fear of imperfection, remember that getting things done – even if they're not flawless – is an achievement in itself. Embrace the process, trust in your abilities, and take pride in what you have accomplished. Because in the end, done is better than perfect.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
