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,...

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

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.

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?

3891 Create Margin To Do What Matters
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Far too often, we’re caught in a relentless cycle of “putting out fires” — responding to demands, answering endless messages, attending meetings that don’t move the needle.

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.

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, you ignite stress, judgment, and paralysis.
You start thinking: “I should be further by now,” or “I’m failing because my progress isn’t as clean or fast.” But life rarely, if ever, unfolds in neat rows like we want it to.

Remember this: “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lou Holtz’s words cut deep here.
Your life’s load—your struggles, your wins, your pace—is unique. Trying to bear it under the weight of others’ expectations or schedules doesn’t just crush your confidence; it steals your peace. The order of your journey is yours alone—and that’s exactly how it should be.
There’s deep wisdom in Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
This isn’t a call to competition or perfection. It’s an invitation to rest, to accept your season, and to stop proving your worth based on external timelines.
So how do you live life out of order and still move forward?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Live O.U.T. of order!
Let’s get strategic about this. Living life “out of order” isn’t a setback—it’s a different rhythm. Here’s a bold O.U.T. framework to own your pace and reclaim your peace:
O — Own Your Story
Stop comparing. Your path, with all its twists, messiness, and detours, is yours. Write down what you’ve overcome and what only you can bring to the table. Ownership of your unique journey silences the voice of judgment and fuels confidence.
U — Unplug from the Noise
Disconnect from feeds and vibes that trigger comparison or self-doubt. Create a daily ritual to check in with yourself—journal, meditate, or simply breathe. This clears mental clutter so your decisions come from clarity, not chaos.
T — Trust Your Timing (and God's)
Ignore the pressure to “catch up.” Remind yourself that forward momentum doesn’t require a straight line. Set small, non-negotiable goals that honor where you are now—and celebrate each one like a win.
December’s chaos isn’t your enemy. Living life out of order isn't waiting for your turn—it’s owning the one you’re already in. And it means you refuse to be defined by anyone else’s calendar or highlight reel. Shift your mindset from judgment to acceptance—and watch your peace grow. Your story matters—on your schedule.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
