3236 Light the Lights in Your Life Life can come at you so fast that you don't know which direction you're headed. But as the celebrations begin, don't forget to light the lights in your life. Life can often feel like a whirlwind, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of which direction we're headed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . As the holiday season approaches and the hustle and bustle of festivities begin, it's essential to take a step back and remember to light the lights in your life. In this fast-paced world, we can easily get caught up in the chaos, striving for perfection in every aspect of our lives. We rush from one commitment to another, constantly ticking off items on our never-ending to-do lists. But amidst all the busyness, it's important to pause and reflect on what truly matters. "Life is not about how fast we race through it, but how much light we bring into each moment," says Kristianne Wargo, a believer in finding joy in life's simple pleasures. "When we take a moment to appreciate the small things and focus on the positive, we can transform our experience, no matter how chaotic it may be." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's easy to get wrapped up in the materialistic aspects of the holiday season, striving for the perfect decorations, the most impressive gifts, and the grandest parties. But true joy cannot be found in the external trappings; it lies within the connections you forge with your loved ones and the warmth you bring to your heart. The K.I.S.S. ~ Light the lights in your life! So in the midst of chaos, take a moment to tune in to your thoughts and feelings. Let your presence be the sparkle in your every day so you can enjoy the simple blessings and pleasures before you. Whether it's the smell of freshly baked cookies or the sound of laughter shared with family, it's these moments that help you find peace amidst the chaos. Light the lights in your life. Let the sparkle of your heartbeat be the gratitude that soothes your chaotic spirit. Calm down. Whether we want to admit it or not, this too shall pass. And with the gratefulness of what's before you, then the stress melts away. Who doesn't need a little stress relief? Light the lights in your life. Now as the hours pass and the clock strikes midnight, don't be the one left hanging out in the cold by yourself. Take care of your heart this season. Give yourself that little pick-me-up chat every moment you need it. How else do you create your now? "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Turn on your sparkle. Let your smile shine. Light the lights in your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

3235 Unwrap Your Happiness 12/04/2023

3235 Unwrap Your Happiness 'Tis the season of giving, and it comes with the quest for that one perfect gift. But when someone outdoes your efforts, your gift becomes the trigger of comparison. This season, unwrap your happiness. You want to get that unique, special gift, so you spend hours scouring the internet, seeking the gift that no one else would think of, only to be met with disappointment when your efforts fail to get the reaction you want. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . This disappointment often triggers a spiral of emotions that can consume you throughout the holiday season. Then, you find yourself comparing your gift-giving abilities to others and feeling frustrated with your perceived failures. But this year, let's break free from the shackles of comparison and embrace a Christmas filled with love and joy. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break free from the shackles of comparison! Here is what it looks like to escape the comparison trap and foster a mindset of gratitude and appreciation before the exchange of gifts. 1. Realign your focus: Instead of fixating on finding the perfect gift, shift your attention to the true essence of the holiday season – spending quality time with loved ones. Remind yourself that the joy of Christmas lies not in material possessions but in the connections and memories we create with those we cherish. 2. Embrace authenticity: Recognize that every person and relationship is unique. Instead of attempting to outdo others with extravagant gifts, embrace the power of thoughtful gestures that are personalized and meaningful. By focusing on what truly resonates with the recipient, you can create a genuine and heartfelt connection that goes beyond material possessions. 3. Cultivate gratitude: Before the exchange of gifts, take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life. Count your own achievements, cherish the love you have received, and appreciate the effort others have put into their gifts. Gratitude fills our hearts with joy and contentment, providing a shield against comparison and fostering a mindset of abundance. "Comparison is the thief of joy." ~ Theodore Roosevelt Let this be the mantra guiding your holiday season. Take a step back, breathe, and remember that the joy we seek doesn't lie in the perfect gift, but in the love and connection we share with our loved ones. So, this Christmas, release yourself from the never-ending spiral of comparison and frustration. Instead, embrace a mindset of love and joy, focusing on the precious moments and the abundance of blessings surrounding you. Remember, the gift of love and presence is always more valuable than any material possession. Embrace this holiday season with an open heart, and watch as love and joy fill your life. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3234 Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas 12/03/2023

3234 Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas This season, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us look beyond the tinsel and presents, and instead seek to see what God saw before the arrival of our Savior. Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas. It is in the spirit of Christmas that we find the true essence of joy, love, and redemption. By delving into the biblical narrative of Jesus' birth, we have the opportunity to rekindle the flame of wonder and awe that comes with understanding God's plan for our lives. Through His Word, we can find guidance on how to make this Christmas truly meaningful. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . In the book of Luke, Chapter 2, we are transported back in time to witness the extraordinary events leading up to the birth of Jesus. We encounter Mary, a young woman chosen by God to bear His Son, and Joseph, a humble carpenter who faithfully obeys God's instructions. As the couple embarks on their journey to Bethlehem, we see their unwavering faith and trust in God's plan unfold. Luke 2:10-11 declares, "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.'" The Christmas story is filled with ordinary people touched by the extraordinary hand of God. From the lowly shepherds who were visited by a host of angels proclaiming the birth of the Messiah (Luke 2:8-14) to the wise men who followed the star and brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:1-11), we witness individuals who were able to see what God saw before Jesus was born. They recognized the significance of this miraculous event and allowed it to transform their lives. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas! In order to glimpse what God saw before Jesus was born this season in our lives, we must approach Christmas with open hearts and minds. We can start by reflecting on the true meaning of Christ's birth – the gift of salvation and the immeasurable love of our Heavenly Father. By immersing ourselves in the Scriptures and meditating on passages such as Isaiah 9:6, which says, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," we can better comprehend the magnitude of God's plan and His purpose for sending His Son into the world. This season, let us rekindle the Spirit of Christmas by embodying the qualities that defined Jesus' ministry: love, compassion, forgiveness, and selflessness. "Christmas is not just a day, it's a state of the heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let our actions and words reflect the true spirit of the season and spread the message of hope and redemption to those around us. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, may we see beyond the earthly trappings and find joy in the presence of the One who came to save us. By rekindling the flame of wonder and awe that comes with understanding God's plan for our lives, we can experience the true spirit of Christmas and draw closer to the profound love and grace of our Savior. This season, let us allow the story of His birth to transform our lives and bring light, hope, and peace to the world around us. "Be present. Be incredible.

3233 Follow the Signs 12/02/2023

3233 Follow the Signs Are you so concerned this holiday season about being right or effective? In a strong marriage, effectiveness is where love resides. Follow the signs. Have you ever had a feeling that something is not quite right in your marriage, but you just can't put your finger on it? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Many spouses have experienced this dilemma, where they sense that there is an underlying issue, but struggle to identify what it is. If you can relate to this, then it's time to take a closer look at the signs that may be unveiling themselves during this holiday season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Follow the signs! In a strong and thriving marriage, the key lies in being effective, rather than being right. As Kristianne Wargo wisely says, "Effectiveness is where love resides." So, instead of fixating on who is right or wrong, focus on taking the necessary steps to address the signs that are revealing themselves that will potentially strengthen your marriage. 1. Pay attention to subtle changes During the holiday season, it's common for routines and dynamics to shift. Take notice of any subtle changes in your spouse's behavior, mood, or communication patterns. Are they more withdrawn than usual, or perhaps more irritable? Are they avoiding certain conversations or becoming defensive? These small shifts can often be indicative of underlying issues. By observing and acknowledging these changes, you are taking the first step toward understanding what may be going on beneath the surface. 2. Engage in open and honest communication Communication is the foundation of any successful marriage. If you sense that something is not right, it is crucial to engage in open and honest conversations with your spouse. Create a safe and non-threatening environment where both of you can express your thoughts and concerns without fear of judgment or defensiveness. By actively listening and seeking to understand each other's perspectives, you will facilitate a deeper connection and potentially unveil the signs that are hiding beneath the surface. 3. Seek professional guidance Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we need external support to navigate through challenging times in our marriage. If you find yourself continuously struggling to identify and address the signs, it may be beneficial to seek the guidance of a marriage counselor or therapist. These professionals are trained to help couples uncover and work through underlying issues, providing a safe space for both partners to express themselves and find solutions. Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of your commitment to the health and growth of your relationship. If you have a nagging feeling that something is amiss in your marriage, don't ignore it. Instead, follow the signs that this holiday season may be unveiling. Focus on being effective rather than being right, and prioritize open communication, active listening, and seeking professional guidance when needed. By taking these steps, you may be able to uncover the hidden truths within your relationship and move toward a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. Remember this from Kristianne Wargo: "Effectiveness is where love resides." "Be present. Be incredible.

3232 But Fear Not! 12/01/2023

3232 But Fear Not! The holiday season is often depicted as a time of joy, love, and togetherness with family and friends. However, for many of us, it can also be a period of overwhelming stress. But fear not! From juggling family obligations to dealing with financial pressures and managing expectations, the holiday season can leave us feeling drained and exhausted. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . With a little planning and a few self-care strategies, you can minimize stress before it overwhelms you. Here are three things you can do to keep calm and enjoy the holiday season: The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep calm and carry on! 1. Set Realistic Expectations One of the primary sources of stress during the holidays is the pressure we put on ourselves to create the "perfect" holiday experience. Remember, perfection is an illusion. Instead of striving for unattainable ideals, focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with loved ones. Prioritize activities and events that bring you joy and let go of the rest. Simplify your to-do list and delegate tasks to others. Remember, you don't have to do it all alone. "It's important to have realistic expectations during the holiday season. Trying to do too much can lead to stress and burnout. Focus on what truly matters and let go of the rest." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Self-Care Taking care of yourself is essential, especially during the busy holiday season. Make self-care a priority by setting aside time each day for activities that promote relaxation and well-being. Engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit, such as practicing yoga, going for a walk, reading a book, or enjoying a warm bath. Prioritize sleep and make sure to get enough rest each night. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so make sure to replenish your energy. 3. Communicate and Set Boundaries Family dynamics can add another layer of stress during the holidays. It's essential to communicate openly with your family members and set clear boundaries to avoid conflicts. Be honest about your limitations and discuss your expectations for the holiday season. This can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce tension. Learn to say "no" gracefully if an invitation or request doesn't align with what you need or can handle at the moment. Remember, it's okay to put yourself first and prioritize your well-being. You can minimize stress and create a more enjoyable and meaningful holiday season. Create your now! And that comes by setting realistic expectations, practicing self-care, and communicating openly with your loved ones. Remember, the holidays are about love and connection – don't let stress overshadow the joy! "Take care of yourself during the holiday season. In doing so, you can better care for others and create lasting memories." -Kristianne Wargo The holiday season can be the most wonderful time of the year, filled with love and happiness. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can navigate family dynamics and stress with grace and ease, allowing you to truly savor the joys of the season. "Be present. Be incredible.

3231 Inspire Yourself to Inspire Others 11/30/2023

3231 Inspire Yourself to Inspire Others We tend to put pressure on others to make us feel a certain way. What if you were to get up on the right side of the bed and decide to feel the way you want? Inspire yourself to inspire others. In this fast-paced world where we often seek external validation and inspiration from others, we often forget that it is within ourselves where true motivation lies. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Imagine waking up every morning on the right side of the bed, empowered to feel the way you want to feel, and in turn, becoming a source of inspiration for others. It's time to break free from the cycle of relying on others to make you feel a certain way and instead, take charge of your own inspiration. As you know, life is full of ups and downs, but it doesn't have to feel like we are always stuck in a deep ditch. We have the power to shape our own reality and create the life we desire. "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's not about waiting for someone else to light that fire within us; rather, it's about taking A.I.M. and becoming the source of inspiration that others seek. Inspiration begins in the mind and starts with a mindset shift. When you change your perspective and choose to focus on the positive aspects of life, you naturally radiate that positivity to those around you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Inspire yourself to inspire others! It's a ripple effect, where the energy you put out into the world has the power to influence others in profound ways. When you take responsibility for your own inspiration, you become more mindful of your thoughts and actions, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Discovering what truly inspires you is key to unlocking your potential. It could be as simple as pursuing a hobby, seeking personal growth through self-help books, or surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who uplift and support us. Are you investing time in what lights you up? Your heart needs to be decorated, too. And when that happens, you not only fuel your own inspiration but you also become a shining example for others to follow. Remember, inspiration doesn't always have to come from external sources. In fact, some of the most powerful inspirations are self-generated. Get ready to tap into an inner well of motivation that can move mountains. Embrace your own passions and unique strengths to empower you to inspire others on a whole new level. As you embark on this journey to inspire yourself and others, keep in mind "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do. ~ Kristianne Wargo" So, rise and shine, and take charge of your own inspiration today. The world is waiting for your light to shine bright and inspire others to do the same. "Be present. Be incredible.

3230 Break the Silence 11/29/2023

3230 Break the Silence It's easy to fall into a pattern of waiting for the "right" time to break free from old habits. But why wait for the new year or society's approval? It's time to break the silence and take charge of your well-being. "Don't let the world silence your dreams. Speak up, rise up, and create a life that nourishes your soul." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the silence! The one thing many of us forget is that you have a choice to make the decision that is right for you. 1. Dare to Be Different: Society often conditions us to conform and follow accepted norms. But breaking the silence means daring to be different and embracing a unique path tailored to your personal well-being. Whether it's adopting a new exercise routine, exploring a plant-based diet, or practicing mindfulness techniques, be open to unconventional approaches that resonate with your true self. Remember, it's your journey, and you have the power to pave your own way. 2. Embrace Imperfection: Waiting for the stars to align or for everything to be perfect can hinder progress and keep you stagnant. Embracing imperfection means not waiting for everything to be optimal before taking the first step toward a healthier lifestyle. Start today, right where you are, and make small but consistent changes. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Don't let the fear of failure or judgment hold you back from creating the life you desire. 3. Surround Yourself with Support: Breaking the silence can be challenging, and it's crucial to surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages and uplifts you. Seek out like-minded individuals who share your passion for healthy living and connect with them through online communities, local groups, or fitness classes. Together, you can foster an environment of growth, inspire each other, and create a powerful network of support that will fuel your progress. Embrace the beauty of breaking the silence and starting anew in unconventional times. The time for healthy living is now. As Kristianne Wargo rightly says, "Your voice matters. Your choices matter. Break the silence and create your now; a day in your life that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit." "Be present. Be incredible.

As we navigate through the jingling bells and bustling holiday crowds, let us not lose sight of the hope and inspiration that the holidays bring.

The spirit of Christmas encourages us to open our hearts, express gratitude, and cultivate a sense of wonder that extends far beyond the holiday season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unleash the magic within! Imagine a world where acts of kindness are not reserved only for the month of December but are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Picture a society that embraces empathy, love, and compassion year-round, focusing on the magic found in each and every moment.

It's the joy of a shared meal with family and friends, the warmth of embraces and laughter, and the generosity that comes from giving without expectation. Take comfort in the fact that the true essence of Christmas can never be found in material possessions but rather in the intangible gifts of love, peace, and togetherness.

3228 The Power of Patterns 11/27/2023

3228 The Power of Patterns Patterns are great for decorating and organizing. But what about how it applies to your mindset and leadership? When you understand the power of patterns, your life will be transformed. Patterns go far beyond aesthetics, permeating every aspect of our lives. From our daily routines to our thoughts and behaviors, patterns shape who we are and how we lead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Think about how you started your morning. Think about how you went about cooking for Thanksgiving, whether it was the entire meal or a side or two. You had a pattern, a rhythm that helped you remember what you needed to do and how you preceded in the moment. When you unlock the power of patterns, you unlock the key to personal transformation and effective leadership. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unlock the power of patterns by seeing what you didn't know before! Because how much are you paying attention to your patterns, good or bad? Most of the time, we just go through the motions because it's faster and quicker. We don't have to overthink which can lead to overwhelm. But you can see your patterns. 1. Mindful Observation: The first step to understanding and recognizing patterns in your life is through mindful observation. Take a step back and become aware of your thought patterns, emotions, and actions. Are there specific triggers that consistently lead to certain outcomes? By observing yourself without judgment, you can identify recurring patterns that either serve you or hold you back. 2. Reflect and Analyze: Once you become aware of patterns, it's crucial to reflect and analyze them. Look for common themes and connections between different areas of your life. Are there recurring issues or challenges that surface in relationships, work, or personal growth? By examining these patterns, you can gain insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and areas where change is needed. 3. Seek Patterns in Others: Understanding and recognizing patterns in your own life is powerful, but it doesn't stop there. Expand your awareness of the patterns in others. By observing and understanding the patterns in your team members, colleagues, or loved ones, you can better relate to them, provide support, and tap into collective strengths. This empathy and understanding will enhance your leadership and foster stronger relationships. "Patterns are the breadcrumbs guiding us towards self-discovery and growth." ~ Kristianne Wargo By understanding and recognizing patterns within yourself and others, you embark on a journey of self-awareness, personal growth, and effective leadership. So embrace the power of patterns, and let them transform your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

3227 By Prayer and Petition 11/26/2023

3227 By Prayer and Petition "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 When we are overwhelmed and struggling silently, cultivating gratitude can help us reframe our perspective. Gratitude has the power to shift our focus from what we lack to the blessings that surround us. It is in these moments that we find renewal. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Philippians 4:6 begins with the instruction to "be anxious about nothing." But what does it mean to present our "requests to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving"? Prayer: By engaging in prayer, we take the time to communicate with God in an intimate and personal way. It is through prayer that we express our hopes, fears, worries, and desires. It serves as a channel to connect with God, seeking guidance, strength, and peace. Petition: Petitioning God involves laying our specific requests and concerns before Him. It is the act of earnestly seeking His intervention and supplicating for His will to be done in our lives. In our moments of struggle and weariness, we can find comfort in the assurance that God hears our petitions and answers them according to His perfect wisdom. The K.I.S.S. ~ By prayer and petition! Remember, you are not alone in this journey. The Bible teaches us in Psalm 23:1-3, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." Just as a shepherd takes care of his flock, God is always there to guide you, renew your spirit, and restore your weary soul. But in every situation, by prayer and petition. Discovering Peace: The Power of Gratitude Our passage then instructs us to present our requests "with thanksgiving." Gratitude is a transformative attitude that helps shift our focus from our problems and anxieties to the blessings and goodness that surround us. 1. Reframing our Perspective: Gratitude enables us to see beyond our circumstances, reminding us of the countless reasons to be thankful. It changes our perspective and helps us find hope even in the midst of challenges. 2. Cultivating a Peaceful Mindset: A heart filled with gratitude is a heart at peace. It creates space for tranquility to enter our lives, providing a source of comfort and renewal. As we acknowledge and appreciate the blessings we have, the peace of God transcends our understanding and guards our hearts and minds. 3. Strengthening Our Faith: Gratitude deepens our connection with God, fostering a sense of trust and dependency on Him. By recognizing His goodness and provision, we develop unwavering faith, knowing that He will continue to guide and support us through every trial and tribulation. Remember the words of the apostle Paul, "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May this peace be with you always. Allow yourself the time and space to rest, reflect, and reimagine what is truly important. See your life with the lenses from Heaven. Know that you are strong, loved, and capable of embracing the peace that surpasses all understanding. "Be present. Be incredible.

3226 Is Your Marriage Better Than A Black Friday Deal? 11/25/2023

3226 Is Your Marriage Better Than A Black Friday Deal? If there's one thing we can say about Black Friday, it's that people go all out to snag the best deals. But what if you applied that to marriage? Is your marriage better than a Black Friday Deal? People respond to Black Friday with the excitement, the rush, the determination to get that coveted item at an incredible price – it's palpable. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . But what if you were to apply that same fervor and dedication to your marriage? Would it result in a better, more fulfilling relationship? If you put in as much time into your marriage as you do to shopping Black Friday deals, imagine how much farther you could be as a couple? Spend your money and your time wisely on what really matters...Your marriage! The K.I.S.S. ~ Spend your money and your time wisely! Let's delve into what a spouse can do to have a marriage that surpasses even the most sought-after Black Friday specials. 1. Prioritize Communication: In the midst of the chaos that a Black Friday sale brings, communication becomes crucial. Couples need to communicate effectively and clearly, just like bargain hunters strategize their shopping spree. Open lines of communication in a marriage create a strong foundation for understanding, empathy, and compromise. Taking the time to listen and express your thoughts and feelings can make a tremendous difference in resolving conflicts, improving intimacy, and strengthening the overall connection between spouses. "Communication is the lifeline of any relationship. It allows both partners to understand, support, and grow together." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Embrace Gratitude: In the frenzy of searching for the best deal, it's easy to lose sight of what we already have. Similarly, in marriage, it's essential to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Often, we tend to focus on what we lack or what's not working, becoming blind to the many blessings we share with our partners. Taking a moment each day to acknowledge and express gratitude for our spouse can create a positive shift in the relationship. It helps us appreciate their efforts, kindness, and love, fostering a deeper sense of connection and satisfaction. "Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more blessings into your relationship. By focusing on the positives and expressing appreciation for your spouse, you create an environment of love and harmony." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Invest in Quality Time: Just as shoppers meticulously plan their Black Friday strategy to secure the best deals, couples need to invest time and effort into their marriage. Quality time is priceless. It allows couples to nurture their bond, create memories, and strengthen their emotional connection. Making a deliberate choice to spend uninterrupted, meaningful time together cultivates intimacy and reminds us why we fell in love in the first place. Whether it's going on regular date nights, engaging in shared hobbies, or simply having heartfelt conversations, dedicating time to your marriage will pay dividends that no material possession can match. "Investing time in your marriage is like investing in your future. The moments you share today will shape the foundation of tomorrow, which then becomes today. Presence counts more than presents." ~ Kristianne Wargo Marriage is not a fleeting Black Friday deal; it's a lifelong commitment. By prioritizing communication, embracing gratitude, and investing quality time, you can create a marriage that exceeds any special discount. Remember, the value of a loving and supportive partnership far surpasses the temporary fulfillment that a sale can bring. So, let's approach our marriages with the same passion, determination, and appreciation we reserve for Black Friday. The rewards will be immeasurable, and your marriage will thrive beyond your wildest dreams! "Be present. Be incredible.

3225 The Gravity of Gratitude 11/24/2023

3225 The Gravity of Gratitude Raising kids is beyond challenging. There are so many decisions we make every day for the betterment of our children. But very rarely do we truly understand the gravity of gratitude. All the decisions and sacrifices often leave us feeling worn out and overwhelmed. In the midst of the chaos, it's easy to forget the importance of gratitude. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Gratitude is a powerful tool that can help you navigate the ups and downs of parenthood with grace and appreciation. What season are you in? If you want to appreciate where you are in the season you're in with your kiddos, hone in on gratitude. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hone in on gratitude! There is something special about gratitude. It truly softens your heart to see what is possible amidst what is challenging. 1. Pause and Reflect: In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's crucial to take a step back and reflect on the blessings of parenthood. While it's natural to focus on the challenges, reminding ourselves of the little moments that fill our hearts with joy can shift our perspective. "Take a few minutes each day to reflect on the unique qualities and milestones your children possess. Recognize the privilege you have been given to shape their lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Find Joy in the Journey: Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. It's important to embrace the journey and find joy in every stage – from sleepless nights with newborns to the rebellious teenage years. Rejoice in the discoveries, laughter, and growth that occur along the way. "The moment you realize that each phase is temporary, you start appreciating the journey as a whole." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice Self-Compassion: Parenthood often demands much from us physically, emotionally, and mentally. It's important to prioritize self-care and show ourselves the same compassion we extend to our children. Acknowledge that it's okay to have challenging moments or feel overwhelmed. "Recognize the efforts you are putting in as a parent. Treat yourself with kindness and forgiveness when things don't go as planned. You are doing the most important job in the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo Gratitude has the power to transform the way we perceive parenthood, allowing us to appreciate the smallest of victories amidst the chaos. "Gratitude is like a magnifying glass; it enlarges what is truly precious and helps us navigate the challenging times with grace." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing gratitude, you can cultivate a joyful perspective that will benefit not only your children but yourself as well. Remember, being a parent is a privilege and an honor, and it is up to you to seize every opportunity to be grateful for the precious gift of your children. Let gratitude be your guiding light as you navigate the beautiful and challenging path of parenthood. "Be present. Be incredible.

3223 Celebrate Thanksgiving Without Sacrificing Healthy Living 11/22/2023

3223 Celebrate Thanksgiving Without Sacrificing Healthy Living With all the sweet and savory dishes to be served, how do you stay on track with healthy living? As the feast poses a challenge, indulge in what gives life. Celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing healthy living. The good news is that you don't have to abandon your wellness goals to enjoy the festivities. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . By making a few mindful choices, you can have a satisfying and guilt-free Thanksgiving experience. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make mindful choices and decisions that serve you well! 1. Prioritize Portion Control: When it comes to Thanksgiving, it's easy to get carried away with heaping servings on our plates. However, practicing portion control can be a game-changer in staying mindful of our calorie intake. Be aware of the size of the portions you consume, and opt for smaller plates to create an illusion of a full plate without overloading on food. Remember, it's about savoring the flavors, not devouring everything on the table. "Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to enjoy delicious food without going overboard. Mindful eating and portion control are key to savoring the flavors and maintaining a healthy balance." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Focus on Healthy Swaps: Thanksgiving classics can be heavy in calories and unhealthy ingredients, but that doesn't mean you have to give them up entirely. Look for opportunities to make healthy swaps in your traditional recipes. For example, rather than using white flour, opt for whole wheat flour in your bread or stuffing. Choose leaner meats or explore plant-based alternatives as the centerpiece of your meal. By making conscious choices, you can create a spread that is both delicious and nourishing. 3. Don't Forget Your Greens: While indulging in turkey, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes, don't forget to include vegetables in your Thanksgiving feast. Green vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, green beans, or kale, are packed with essential nutrients and fiber that can help balance out the heavier dishes. Make sure to include a vibrant, colorful salad as a side dish to add freshness and boost your vitamin intake. "Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate and enjoy a variety of flavors on your plate. Make sure to include a generous serving of nutrient-rich greens to ensure a well-rounded and balanced meal." ~ Kristianne Wargo By incorporating these three strategies into your Thanksgiving celebrations, you can enjoy the festivities guilt-free while still staying true to your healthy lifestyle. Remember, it's all about moderation, mindful choices, and finding a balance that works for you. A Thanksgiving celebration that emphasizes portion control, healthy swaps, and incorporating abundant greens is a great way to ring in the start of the holidays. By implementing these strategies, you can relish the holiday feast without straying from your wellness goals. As you gather with loved ones this season, remember that good health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. "There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying Thanksgiving while staying on track with your wellness goals. By being mindful about our choices and making decisions that serve you well, you can make this holiday both delicious and nourishing." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3222 Remember Why You Started 11/21/2023

3222 Remember Why You Started Whether it's the hustle and bustle of turkey and stuffing with twinkling lights and bulbs, let what doesn't work go and remember why you started. As we enter Thanksgiving week, it's easy to get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations and the looming end of the year. Our minds may wander to all the things we haven't accomplished or the goals left unfulfilled. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, it's important to take a step back and remember why you started. The holiday season is a time of reflection and gratitude, and it's the perfect opportunity to shift our focus from what hasn't happened to the blessings that surround us. The twinkling lights and festive décor may bring a sense of joy and excitement, but it's essential to let go of what doesn't work and instead embrace the essence of what truly matters. Every journey begins with a purpose. Whether it's a personal goal, a career ambition, or a passion project, there was a driving force that led you to start in the first place. Maybe you wanted to make a difference in the world, pursue a dream that ignites your soul, or create something meaningful for yourself and others. Whatever it may be, reconnecting with that initial spark can reignite your determination and re-energize your path. The K.I.S.S. ~ Remember why you started! Sometimes, though, life throws curveballs, and things don't go as planned. We may find ourselves facing obstacles or feeling overwhelmed. But rather than dwelling on what hasn't been accomplished, shift your perspective to the progress you've made and the lessons learned along the way. Each setback is an opportunity to grow stronger and more resilient. Remembering why you started is not about dwelling on past mistakes or regrets. It's about acknowledging the blessings before you right now. It's about being present in the moment and appreciating the journey you're on, regardless of the outcome. It's about finding fulfillment and joy in the small victories and recognizing the impact you're making, even if it may not be on the grand scale you envisioned. As you gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, take a moment to express gratitude for the path you've chosen. Inhale the aroma of the turkey and stuffing, and let it remind you of your purpose. Take a bite of the pie, and let its sweetness fuel your commitment to your dreams. Embrace the warmth of family and friends, and let their love and support be the foundation on which you build your success. "Gratitude is not just about saying 'thank you'; it's about recognizing the blessings in your life and using them as fuel to keep going and pursuing your dreams. Create your now!" ~ Kristianne Wargo So, as the holiday season unfolds, remember your why. Reflect on your journey and appreciate the blessings before you. Let go of what doesn't serve you, and keep moving forward with gratitude in your heart. Each step you take is a testament to your determination, and every day is an opportunity to create a life filled with purpose and joy. This Thanksgiving, let your reasons for starting be the guiding light that leads you toward a future of greatness. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible.

3221 Explode with Appreciation 11/20/2023

3221 Explode with Appreciation The drive forward is more beneficial than looking backward when longing for greatness in your journey. Don't let what you haven't done diminish your gratitude. Explode with appreciation right where you are. The best is yet to come! In life's grand tapestry, it's easy to get caught up in the longing for greatness and obsess over what has yet to be accomplished. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Explode with appreciation right where you are. The best is yet to come!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Explode with appreciation! Here are 3 powerful ways to explode with appreciation and propel your journey forward: 1. Cultivate Mindfulness: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget to pause and appreciate the small miracles that surround us. By cultivating mindfulness, truly saying "I am thankful for", we deepen our awareness of the present moment and open our hearts to fully experience the beauty in our surroundings. Take a few moments each day to savor the taste of your morning coffee, bask in the warmth of the sun on your skin, or simply take a deep breath and cherish the serenity of the moment. By grounding yourself in the present, you unlock a wellspring of gratitude that fuels your journey. It is the first step to your greatness every day. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Self-Reflection: Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and gratitude. Set aside dedicated time each week to reflect on your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Celebrate the progress you've made, the challenges you've overcome, and the lessons you've learned along the way. Acknowledging and appreciating your personal growth creates a positive momentum that propels you forward with renewed vigor and determination. "When you see the beauty of your blessings, you bury the burdens that haunt you every day." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Express Acts of Kindness: Gratitude finds its greatest power when shared. It becomes sticky when you practice gratitude toward others. Take the time to express acts of kindness to those around you. Whether it's a heartfelt compliment, a handwritten note of appreciation, or a selfless gesture of help, these small acts have a profound impact not only on others but on our own sense of purpose. By bringing joy to others' lives, you create a ripple effect of gratitude and kindness that enhances your journey and ignites the flame of gratitude within you. As you embark on this journey, remember that greatness lies not only in the milestones ahead but also in your ability to appreciate the present. Embrace gratitude, explode with appreciation, and keep your eyes firmly fixed on the promising horizon. With a willing mind, body, and spirit, the best is yet to come! "You can't move forward while looking backward. Instead, turn your gratitude into rocket fuel and soar through life's greatest adventures. It's a party every day!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

3219 Sacrifice is a Blessing 11/18/2023

3219 Sacrifice is a Blessing Giving up so much for someone you love can seem like a burden at times. However, if you love someone, you should be willing to give up. Sacrifice is a blessing.

So, how can spouses sacrifice for the sake of their marriage without losing themselves in the process? Learn to give and take. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to give and take! 1. Prioritize Personal Needs One of the most important aspects of a successful marriage is maintaining a sense of self. It's crucial for spouses to recognize their own needs and desires, even amidst the sacrifices they make. By prioritizing personal needs, couples can ensure that they continue to grow individually and bring their best selves into the relationship. This may mean setting aside time for hobbies, self-care activities, or pursuing personal goals. When individuals are fulfilled on a personal level, they can offer more to their partner and the relationship as a whole. 2. Effective Communication Sacrifices in a marriage should never be made in silence. Honest and open communication is key to ensuring that both partners understand each other's needs and concerns. By openly discussing what sacrifices are necessary for the betterment of the relationship, couples can find solutions that work for both parties. It's crucial to express one's feelings, desires, and concerns without fear of judgment or rejection. This way, sacrifices can be made willingly, and both partners will feel valued and heard. 3. Uncover Mutual Support and Compromise A marriage is ultimately a partnership built on love, trust, and understanding. It's important for spouses to support each other's dreams, goals, and aspirations, even if they require sacrifices. By becoming each other's cheerleaders and allies, couples can navigate the challenges of sacrifice more effectively. Understanding that compromise is necessary for a healthy relationship; both partners can work together to find common ground and make sacrifices that benefit the marriage as a whole. This way, sacrifices are not seen as one-sided burdens but as joint efforts to build a stronger and more fulfilling partnership. "In the attitude of sacrifice, there is a beautiful dance between love and self. The key is finding the balance that nourishes both." ~ Kristianne Wargo Sacrifice in a marriage is not a sign of weakness or burden, but rather a testament to the love that two individuals share for each other. By prioritizing personal needs, practicing effective communication, and fostering mutual support and compromise, spouses can make sacrifices without losing themselves in the process. It is this delicate balance that allows couples to grow individually while strengthening the bond of their marriage. Remember, sacrifice is a blessing. "Be present. Be incredible.

3218 Trust Your Instincts 11/17/2023

3218 Trust Your Instincts As a parent, it's only natural to question yourself and wonder if you're doing everything right for your child. Dwelling on self-doubt prevents you from fully embracing your role and inhibiting your ability to trust your instincts. You are doing amazing at parenting. Remember, there is no manual because each child is so unique. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The good news is that there are ways to boost your confidence and feel more assured as a parent. The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust your instincts! 1. Reflect on Your Child's Unique Qualities You are the expert when it comes to your child. Take the time to observe and appreciate their unique qualities and strengths. Each child has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Accept and celebrate these differences rather than comparing your child to others. Recognize that your intuition is deeply connected to your understanding of your child’s individuality. Embrace the fact that you know your child better than anyone else, and trust that your insights will guide you in making the best decisions for their growth and development. 2. Seek Support from Trusted Sources While trusting your instincts is crucial, it's also essential to seek guidance and support from trusted sources. Surround yourself with a network of individuals who provide encouragement, sound advice, and a non-judgmental ear. This network can include fellow parents, friends, or professionals such as pediatricians or therapists. Engaging in conversations and seeking input from others who share similar experiences can help validate your own instincts. Remember, parenting is a collective effort, and leaning on these trusted sources can provide you with the confidence boost you need to trust yourself more fully. 3. Practice Self-Care and Prioritize Your Well-being As a parent, it's easy to prioritize your child's needs above your own. However, neglecting your own well-being can lead to increased self-doubt and hesitation in parenting decisions. Make sure to carve out time for self-care, whether it be engaging in hobbies, exercise, or simply enjoying moments of solitude. Nurturing your own physical, mental, and emotional health is crucial in bolstering your confidence as a parent. When you prioritize self-care, you reinforce your belief in yourself and your instincts, enabling you to make decisions more confidently. Remember, parenting is an ongoing journey of learning and growth. There will be moments of uncertainty, and that’s perfectly normal. By focusing on these three steps - reflecting on your child’s unique qualities, seeking support from trusted sources, and prioritizing self-care - you can cultivate the belief in yourself that is essential in trusting your instincts as a parent. Embrace your intuition, stay true to your values, and let your parenting journey be guided by the love and care you have for your child. Trust yourself—you've already proven to be an amazing parent.

Start today by finding inspiration in the smallest of details. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . "Life is not just about making a list, it's about living through the details." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's in the little things that the magic truly happens.

These are the small moments that make life rich and meaningful. When it comes to achieving your goals, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of the task at hand.

Next time you tackle a task, whether it's a work assignment, a household chore, or a personal project, take a deep breath and shift your focus to the small details. "Notice the brushstrokes in your artwork, the way the words flow on the page, and the way your body moves as you dance. Embrace the texture of the fabrics you work with, the sounds of laughter, and the tastes and smells that delight your senses. Create your now!" ~ Kristianne Wargo By paying attention to the details, you gain a deeper appreciation for life and the world around you. You become more present, more mindful, and more connected.

3216 Master What Shakes You 11/15/2023

3216 Master What Shakes You In the realm of healthy living, the presence of recurring obstacles can throw you off balance. To truly thrive in your wellness journey, go beyond overcoming them and master what shakes you. But if you can break free from these cycles, that is where you will discover and achieve stability.

Take control of your health struggles and harness their potential as catalysts for positive change. Become the master of your issues and witness how they can become your ultimate assets in the pursuit of a vibrant and nourished life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Master what shakes you! 1. Embrace Self-Awareness To master what shakes you, it is crucial to develop a deep level of self-awareness. This means getting to know yourself inside out and understanding your triggers, strengths, and weaknesses. By identifying the specific factors that shake your healthy living routine, you can develop strategies to counteract them. For instance, if stress often leads you to emotional eating, take note of this pattern and explore alternative coping mechanisms such as engaging in exercise or practicing mindfulness techniques. By recognizing and addressing these patterns, you can regain control over your actions and maintain a healthy lifestyle. 2. Cultivate Resilience Life is full of ups and downs, and conquering what shakes you requires resilience. Cultivating resilience means developing the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to new circumstances. When it comes to healthy living, this resilience is vital for overcoming obstacles that may hinder your progress. For example, if your hectic work schedule leaves little time for exercise, instead of succumbing to defeat, find creative ways to incorporate physical activity into your day. This could involve taking short walks during breaks or utilizing home workout routines. By adapting to challenges and staying committed to your healthy lifestyle, you can master what shakes you and maintain your well-being. 3. Foster a Supportive Community Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who share your goals and values can greatly enhance your journey towards mastering what shakes you.

Remember, mastering what shakes you is not about avoiding challenges, but rather embracing them as opportunities for growth. By developing self-awareness, cultivating resilience, and fostering a supportive community, you can transform these struggles into stepping stones towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

3215 Bust the Barriers 11/14/2023

3215 Bust the Barriers In life, we often fall into the trap of complacency and familiarity. We stick to what we know, what feels safe and secure. Ditch the comfort and bust the barriers. Do you ever feel like you're constantly met with obstacles that hold you back from reaching your full potential? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Whether it's the comfort zone that keeps you stagnant, fear that paralyzes you, or procrastination that hinders your progress, it's time to break free from these barriers. "Look beyond what you expect and take a chance on what you don't know. It's time to get uncomfortable in the water and swim to greater depths." ~ Kristianne Wargo Now while the trap might provide temporary comfort, it also restricts your growth and limits your possibilities. It's time to break free from the comfort zone and venture into uncharted territory. "The real growth lies beyond the boundaries you set for yourself." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's a profound truth that challenges you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace the unknown. When you push past your limitations, you open yourself up to new experiences, opportunities, and personal growth. The K.I.S.S. ~ Bust the barriers! Fear is another formidable barrier that holds us back. It's a natural instinct to feel fearful of the unknown. However, if you constantly allow fear to control your actions, you will never uncover your true potential. Take a moment to reflect on your fears. What is the worst that could happen if you face them head-on? Often, the fear you build up in your mind is far greater than the reality. By confronting your fears, you empower yourself to overcome the barriers that stand in your way. Procrastination, too, is an invisible wall we often come up against. You tell yourself we'll start tomorrow, that there's always more time. But deep down, you know that tomorrow never truly comes. Taking that first step is the key to breaking through the procrastination barrier. Take A.I.M. now, however small it may be, and you'll find that momentum builds, propelling you forward. Soon enough, you'll knock down the walls of procrastination and embrace productivity. So, how can we bust these barriers and unlock our true potential? It starts with a shift in mindset. Embrace the uncomfortable and be open to new experiences. Challenge your beliefs and expectations, and be willing to embrace the unfamiliar. Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who inspire and motivate you. Seek out mentors or role models who have overcome similar barriers and learn from their experiences. Most importantly, believe in yourself and your ability to break free from the chains that bind you. Life is too short to let barriers hold you back. Break free from your comfort zone, conquer your fears, and banish procrastination. Remember, the real growth lies beyond the boundaries you set for yourself. Embrace the unknown, challenge your limitations, and soar to new heights. Take that leap of faith and discover the greatness that lies within you. "Don't let barriers control your every day. Bust through them and create your now. It's time to bust the barriers and embrace the extraordinary possibilities that await you." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3214 Move From What-If to Now 11/13/2023

3214 Move From What-If to Now One common stumbling block in pursuing a life of purpose is the constant dwelling on "what-if" scenarios. Whether rooted in fear or a lack of self-belief, move from what-if to now. This mentality holds you back from experiencing the present and embracing the life God has designed for you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . "How can you live the life God designed specifically for you if you are always talking about what-if?" ~ Kristianne Wargo Living in a perpetual state of a "what-if" mindset hinders your ability to see yourself as successful. It keeps you constantly looking in the rearview mirror, fixated on missed opportunities or past failures. The key to unlocking your potential and creating a fulfilling life lies in transitioning from 'what-if' to 'now.' Hence, create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! But just like anything else, you have to take A.I.M.! Action ignites movitation. Here are three actionable steps you can take to make this transformation: 1. Embrace Self-Awareness One essential step in releasing the grip of 'what-if' thinking is to cultivate self-awareness. Reflect on what drives your thoughts, this mindset, and what fears or doubts are holding you back. What are you really afraid of? Acknowledging these limitations equips you to confront them head-on, allowing you to take control of your thoughts and redirect them toward the present. 2. Practice Gratitude Shifting your focus from 'what-if' to 'what is' can be challenging, but practicing gratitude can help rewire your mindset. What blessings are before you? Make a habit of recognizing and appreciating the blessings in your life, no matter how small they may seem. By cultivating gratitude, you train your mind to be present and open to the opportunities that exist right now. 3. Set Clear Goals and Take A.I.M. To create your 'now,' it's essential to set clear goals and take intentional action. Define what you want to achieve and break it down into actionable steps. What is possible? By prioritizing these objectives and committing to taking consistent action, you shift your energy towards building the life you desire, making 'what-if' scenarios lose their grip on your thoughts, your heart; your mindset. "At no point will you see yourself as successful if you are always living in the 'what if.' So, stop looking back; use the rearview mirror as a reminder that you’ve come so far to create your now." ~ Kristianne Wargo Ultimately, living a life of purpose requires releasing the shackles of 'what-if' thinking and embracing the present moment. By cultivating self-awareness, practicing gratitude, and taking intentional action toward your goals, you create the space to experience the life that God has designed specifically for you. So, let go of the 'what ifs' and open yourself up to the endless possibilities, and create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

3213 Skill Will Bring Success 11/12/2023

3213 Skill Will Bring Success “If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.“ Ecclesiastes 10:10 Skill, as Ecclesiastes 10:10 suggests, is an essential factor in achieving success. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . But how do you acquire skill, and where does God play a role in the process? Recognizing the importance of skill development and God's involvement, you can find wisdom and guidance in the Bible. First off, it's important to understand that skill is not simply a product of human effort; it is a gift from God. In Exodus 31:3, we read about Bezalel, a skilled craftsman who was divinely appointed and filled with the Spirit of God to be able to work with skill in various crafts. This highlights the biblical understanding that skill is not solely a result of human effort, but is a divine gift from God Himself. Therefore, by seeking God's guidance and relying on His grace, you can tap into the source of all skill. The K.I.S.S. ~ Skill will bring success! Now, the process of gaining skill requires consistent effort, dedication, and a desire to continually learn. Proverbs 2:2-6 speaks of the importance of diligently seeking wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. By immersing yourself in the study of God's Word and seeking His guidance through prayer, you open yourself up to the possibility of acquiring skill in various areas of your life. Furthermore, Scripture emphasizes the role of God as our ultimate source of strength. Philippians 4:13 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You are to rely on God's power, not rest in your own strength. So, in situations where more strength is needed, you can trust in God's provision and find comfort in the knowledge that He will equip you for success. God's strength becomes the foundation upon which your skill is built. By surrendering your life to God and submitting your desires and plans to His will, you place yourself in a position to receive His guidance, wisdom, and strength. Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. When you acknowledge God in all our ways, He will make our paths straight, leading you towards skillful living and ultimately, success. Remember that skillfulness, in the Biblical context, extends beyond worldly success and achievements. It includes living a life of integrity, using your skills to serve others, and glorifying God through your actions. Colossians 3:23-24 "23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." When you strive to develop your skills with a heart oriented towards honoring God, success becomes more about the impact you have on others and fulfilling your higher purpose, your calling. Skill is a gift from God, and through His guidance and strength, you are able to develop and enhance your abilities. By diligently seeking wisdom, relying on God's strength, and aligning your life with His will, you can experience skillful living that leads to lasting success, not only in the worldly sense but also in your spiritual journey. “If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.“ Ecclesiastes 10:10 "Be present.

3212 What Does It Mean to Love Your Spouse? 11/11/2023

3212 What Does It Mean to Love Your Spouse? Love is a powerful force – a force that has the ability to nourish and sustain a marriage. What does it mean to love your spouse? It's not about striving for a picture-perfect relationship; rather, it's about practicing love daily through your actions and words. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Are you one who does that for your spouse? The K.I.S.S. ~ Practice love every day! What are some tangible ways to practice love towards your spouse, while keeping their needs and well-being in mind? 1. Express gratitude and appreciation Sometimes, we tend to overlook the little things that make our spouse unique and special. Take a moment each day to express your gratitude and appreciation for who they are and what they bring to the relationship. It could be as simple as leaving them a heartfelt note or verbally acknowledging their efforts. For example, you could say, "Thank you for always supporting my dreams and believing in me. Your unwavering belief in me means the world." 2. Prioritize quality time Amidst the daily hustle and bustle, it's crucial to carve out quality time for your spouse. Make a conscious effort to create opportunities for bonding and connection. It could be a regular date night where you explore new places or activities together, or simply turning off all distractions and having a heartfelt conversation. Show them that they are a priority in your life. For instance, surprise your spouse with a planned outing or set aside an evening to cook their favorite meal together. 3. Practice active listening Communication is key in any relationship, and it goes beyond just talking. Practice active listening – genuinely hearing and understanding your spouse's thoughts, feelings, and concerns. This means giving them your undivided attention, maintaining eye contact, and validating their emotions. Show interest by asking open-ended questions and providing a safe space for them to share. For example, when your spouse expresses a worry, respond with empathy and say, "I understand how you feel. Let's work through this together." Remember, love is not about performance or perfection. It's about the consistent effort to make your spouse feel valued, understood, and cherished. As Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, "Love is not about performance to be perfect, but rather about the practice of loving." By implementing these three practices into your daily life, you will lay a strong foundation for a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Embrace the art of practicing love, and watch your relationship blossom into something truly beautiful. "Be present. Be incredible.

3211 How To Teach Your Child Life Skills 11/10/2023

3211 How To Teach Your Child Life Skills Sometimes, we try to "force" our children into doing things we want on our timetables. If we as parents learn to work with them and stay very consistent in our actions, that's how you teach your child life skills. Have you ever found yourself struggling to get your child to do something that you believe will have a profound impact on their life? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Too many times, we can forcibly strong-arm our children, but that's where the battles brew. We often have a vision of what we want our children to achieve, but getting them on board is another battle. And it's in those moments where we question the worth of our effort. However, instead of trying to force our children into doing something that, at the time, they don't understand why we are asking them to do it, there is a better way to approach training them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Work with your child, not against them! Because by working with your child and staying consistent in your actions, you can effectively guide them towards building life skills while nurturing their growth. 1. Establish a Supportive Environment Creating a supportive environment is essential for your child's growth and development. Set aside a specific area where they can work on their goals, and equip it with the necessary tools and resources. For example, if you want your child to excel in their academics, provide them with a dedicated study space, comfortable seating, and adequate lighting. Make sure this space is free from distractions and encourage them to personalize it to make it truly their own. By providing them with a dedicated space, you are sending a message that their goals and aspirations are important and that you are there to support them every step of the way. 2. Set Clear Expectations One of the key factors in working with your child toward achieving their goals is setting clear expectations. Clearly communicate the desired outcome and explain why it is important. Help them understand the benefits and how the skills or knowledge they gain will positively impact their future. Make sure the expectations are realistic and age-appropriate, breaking down the goal into smaller achievable milestones. This not only gives your child a sense of direction but also provides them with a roadmap to follow. By setting clear expectations, your child will gain clarity on what is expected of them and will feel more motivated to work towards achieving those goals. 3. Encourage Independence and Ownership While it is important to provide guidance and support, it is equally crucial to foster independence and ownership in your children. Encourage them to take ownership of their goals by involving them in the planning process. Allow them to make decisions and let them take the lead in setting targets and timelines. This gives them a sense of responsibility and instills confidence in their abilities. Encourage them to reflect on their progress and celebrate their achievements, no matter how small. By giving your child the autonomy to take charge of their own journey, you are empowering them to become self-motivated learners. By working with your child and staying consistent in your actions, you have the power to guide them towards success. Creating a supportive environment, setting clear expectations, and encouraging independence and ownership are key strategies that can make a significant impact on their journey. Remember, patience and consistency are crucial throughout this process. Emphasize the importance of progress over perfection, and celebrate even the smallest achievements along the way. Together, you and your child can lay a strong foundation for a successful future. "Be present. Be incredible.

3209 How Healthy Living Reduces the Risk of Breast Cancer 11/08/2023

3209 How Healthy Living Reduces the Risk of Breast Cancer Breast cancer is a widely recognized health concern for women. However, with the proper precautions, it is possible to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Incorporating healthy lifestyle habits can play a crucial role in maintaining breast health. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Research has shown that certain lifestyle factors can significantly lower the risk of breast cancer. Let's talk about three actionable steps you can take toward prevention. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prevention is key! One of the obvious things that must be done is your annual mammogram. Have you had yours yet? Because it's not obvious unless you do it. And for those who are wondering if it hurts, the answer is no. It can be a little uncomfortable. But for the most part, it's a slight discomfort to save your life. If you think of it that way, you can endure it for a few minutes. So, let's look at some preventative ways. 1. Engage in regular physical activity: Regular exercise has been found to have a protective effect against breast cancer. According to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, women who engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day had a lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who were less physically active. Physical activity not only helps in weight management but also reduces estrogen levels in the body, which can contribute to a reduced risk of breast cancer. 2. Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity has been linked with an increased risk of breast cancer, especially after menopause. Excess body weight can lead to increased estrogen production, which can fuel the growth of breast cells and potentially lead to cancer. By maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise, individuals can reduce their risk of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends following a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and limiting the intake of processed foods and sugary drinks. 3. Limit alcohol consumption: Numerous studies have shown that alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk. It is recommended to limit alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women. By reducing alcohol intake, individuals can reduce their exposure to a known risk factor for breast cancer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol consumption, and get your annual mammogram. These are simple yet effective steps that you can take to protect yourself. "Train for life.

3208 Pass Over the Rush When overwhelm seems to lead your day and the whirlwind of life's demands stimulates every waking minute, know that one step at a time leads to miles of greatness. So, pass over the rush! Because when you think about it, It's during these overwhelming moments that you must anchor yourself and remember the essence of what truly matters. Embrace this truth - the best is yet to come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Life is a journey, and on this journey, it's easy to get caught up in the frenzy, feeling like a small boat on stormy waters. But amidst the chaos, be still for a moment and allow yourself to flow with the current. Instead of resisting the tides of life, learn to navigate them with grace and intention. "In the midst of the rush and chaos, find solace in the knowledge that the best is yet to come." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing this mindset, you can elevate your perspective and find inspiration even in the most challenging moments. The K.I.S.S. ~ Pass over the rush! It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks that await you, but remember that you are in control. Each day brings new opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement. Instead of succumbing to the pressure, shift your focus to the progress you are making and the accomplishments that lie just ahead. In this journey called life, it's important to set your own pace. Allow yourself to take breaks, to rest, and to recharge. By nurturing your mind, body, and spirit, you pave the way for a more harmonious every day. This self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity that enables you to be your best self as you move forward. Rather than letting the to-do list consume you, learn to prioritize. Focus on the tasks that truly matter and bring you closer to your goals, and be willing to delegate or let go of those that hinder your progress. Embrace a mindset of simplicity, and seek fulfillment and joy in the completion of each task. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small they may seem. In this journey of life's ebb and flow, remember to stay present. Each moment is an opportunity for growth, connection, and appreciation.

Gratitude has the power to transform your perspective and infuse your journey with positivity and joy. Pass over the rush, and let the rhythm of life's journey guide you towards the extraordinary.

3207 Different Seasons Bring New Beginnings 11/06/2023

3207 Different Seasons Bring New Beginnings Have you ever noticed how the changing seasons bring a sense of newness and anticipation? Different seasons bring new beginnings. Each season holds its own unique charm, with fresh opportunities and possibilities just waiting to be explored. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Whether it's the blossoming of flowers in spring, the warmth of summer days, the crispness of autumn, or the serenity of winter, each season invites us to be present and fully embrace the magic it offers. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the magic of the season! 1. Cultivate a Mindset of Gratitude Regardless of the season, gratitude is key to finding joy and purpose in the present. Take a moment to reflect on the beauty and blessings that surround you during this season. Whether it's the vibrant colors of fall foliage or the rejuvenation of spring, appreciating the wonders of nature helps shift your mindset to one of abundance. "Presence is about recognizing the blessings in each season and being open to the lessons they bring." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Engage in Seasonal Activities What better way to fully immerse yourself in the season than by participating in activities that are unique to it? Make a list of activities that align with the season you're in. For instance, during the spring, you could go for hikes in blooming gardens, have picnics in the park, or start a new hobby like gardening. For the Fall, think of pumpkin patches and cool walks through the fallen leaves. Engaging in these activities not only connects you with the season but also opens opportunities for new experiences and connections. 3. Embrace Intentionality and Presence Being present in the season means consciously creating moments of stillness and reflection. Carve out time to disconnect from the busyness of life and fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and sensations of the season. Whether it's taking a leisurely walk in a snow-covered park during winter or sitting by the beach, feeling the warmth of the summer sun, the act of intentionally engaging with the season fosters a deeper appreciation for the here and now. Each season offers us a chance to grow, learn, and start anew. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude, engaging in seasonal activities, and embracing intentionality and presence, we open ourselves up to the magic and potential that each new season brings. As Kristianne Wargo beautifully sums it up, "It's not just about waiting for what's to come but anticipating with joy the newness that each season unfolds." So, as the seasons change, let us remember to be fully present, appreciating the gifts that each one brings, and eagerly anticipating the new beginnings that lie ahead. "Be present. Be incredible.
