3979 How to Win Your Parenting Conversations
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room or the last word every time. It’s about precision, strategy, and understanding how every move impacts the next. You may be the expert, but be careful how you share the wisdom. Whether you want to admit it or not, you can learn how to win your parenting conversations better. In honor of the Olympics, I want you to think of your parenting conversations like the sport of Curling—where every stone you throw changes the "game," and success isn’t guaranteed just because you have the advantage.

3978 Gain a Heart of Wisdom
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the rush of modern life, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. So much of our energy flows toward chasing someone else’s dream, trying to fit into others’ expectations, or simply surviving the relentless pace of day-to-day routines. Consider the timeless words from Psalm 90:12 ~ “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” What does it mean to number our days? It’s not some grim countdown or morbid fixation. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s an invitation to live each day with...

3977 Plant Your Patience
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the relentless rush of daily life, it’s easy to feel like we’re sprinting on a treadmill set to max speed, chasing the next goal, the next move, the next achievement—only to end up overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in a loop of what we didn’t get done. That constant hurry doesn’t just steal time; it steals clarity, joy, and the chance to grow something meaningful. What if, instead of rushing, you plant your patience? What if you slowed down, dug deep, and gave yourself the permission to nurture progress with care—not speed? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3976 Come Back to Center
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There’s no shortage of promises out there, like tools, trends, gurus, and hacks, where each one claims they can flip your life upside down or side-step you straight to success. But just because something is out there flashing like a neon sign does not mean you should use it, follow it, or whatever with it. It's not necessarily meant for you. However, the real power lies in peeling back all that noise and coming back to what is true; come back to center. This isn’t about swallowing the half-truths that momentarily trick you into thinking you know what’s next or forcing yourself into a...

3975 The Power of Silence
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Our lives are flooded with noise—incessant messages screaming for attention, endless notifications begging for a glance, countless demands pulling us in every direction. It’s no wonder we feel confused and disoriented, overwhelmed by the mass of distractions that invade even a single hour. Take a moment and absorb the power of silence. Now it's hard to be still in silence. Think about how many alerts, emails, texts, and tasks are stacking up in that tiny slice of time? Usually, we bite off more than we can chew—and then get choked up by the pressure of what’s next. Desire to be...

3974 Love On Purpose
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Valentine’s weekend invites us to think about love—the kind that fills our hearts and shapes our relationships. But far too often, we get stuck in the world’s limited view of love: conditional, transactional, and filtered through our own failures and insecurities. God’s love, however, breaks every mold. His love is unconditional, relentless, and sees beyond our flaws. And then, He calls us to love others the same way. Love on purpose. Yet as we know, it’s easy to judge others based on our own shortcomings. We carry unhealed wounds, past hurts, and false beliefs about how people...

3973 The Sweetness that Melts the Heart
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When you hear “sweetness” in love, your mind probably jumps straight to chocolates, flowers, and sparkly gifts. That’s the story commercials love to tell us—the more you spend, the brighter your love shines. But the sweetness that melts the heart isn’t wrapped in paper or tagged with a price. It’s something far rarer, deeper, and more powerful. The real sweetness comes from that raw, vulnerable place inside—the one that says, “I see you. I choose you. I cherish what’s only ours.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s...

3972 You Make My Heart So Happy!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Valentine’s Day comes around each year like clockwork, bringing with it the usual swirl of red hearts, chocolates, and flowers. But for a mom, these symbols of love can sometimes feel surface-level, like they’re missing the real heartbeat beneath all the glitter and sugar. Because the truth is, the kind of love that fills a mother’s chest isn’t wrapped up neatly in a box or tied with a bow. It’s messy, wild, tender, and deeply personal. It’s found in late-night cuddles, scraped knees comforted, and whispered “I love you’s” that echo long after bedtime—you make my heart so...

3971 You Can’t Have Everything—And That’s Okay!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It’s all too easy to feel crushed when things don't appear to be going our way. We want immediate results with little to no effort. But the reality is, you can’t have everything—and that’s okay! Because if you did have everything, you’d be perfect. And that would change everything, not just for you but for the world. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3970 How You Create Your Now Shapes Every Tomorrow
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Nobody’s perfect. You won’t nail everything every single day, and you sure won’t do it perfectly every hour. But perfection isn’t the point. Intentionality is. How you create your now shapes every tomorrow. Your “now,” the way you choose to spend your minutes and moments, is the wellspring of your entire life. You build your everyday out of small, consistent decisions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Some move you closer to where you want to be. Others hold you back, even if you don’t realize it. Good habits don’t appear...
info_outlineSo much in life is left in the trenches of what we lost or what didn't make it. Success can leave scars as much as failures. But the sting is always greater when something does not go your way. Yet, that's not how your story gets to end. There is joy in the morning, and you get to choose what you carry forward.
That choice isn’t because of how much you know or the wit you’ve picked up along the way—though those add richness to your journey.

It’s because your power lies in what you decide to hold on to. What you bring with you shapes not just your next step, but your entire path ahead.
"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo
The Apostle Paul knew the weight of what to leave behind and what to carry on. He said it plainly in Philippians 3:13-14:
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Paul teaches us that progress depends on consciously shedding the dead weight of the past and intentionally moving toward what lies ahead, what's right in front of you.
Too often, we get stuck swirling in the rut of “what went wrong”—a relentless replay of failures and disappointments.
But the trouble is that the longer you linger there, the more you settle in the trenches. You let your past become your prison.
And where is the freedom in that? Freedom starts by choosing what you carry forward.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose what you carry forward!
Think about a forest — a living, growing forest. The seeds it carries forward are the future trees, the promise of fresh green under sunlit skies. Your life is no different. The seeds you plant today, the lessons you hold close, the hopes you refuse to bury — those are the things that grow into your “now.” Create your now! Because it all begins by what you decide to carry forward.
Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:34:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Here’s a clear call to live focused on today, not trapped by yesterday’s shadows or tomorrow’s anxieties.
Carry forward your courage, your hard-won wisdom, your capacity to forgive—and most importantly, your choice to keep moving. Carry forward your resiliency, the smile that comes after storms, and the faith that better days are yours to claim.
In the end, life’s trenches are real, but they are not permanent. The difference between sinking and standing is your choice to carry forward what fuels growth, healing, and purpose.
So—what will you choose to carry forward?
You got this, because God's got you!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
