3978 Gain a Heart of Wisdom 02/19/2026

3978 Gain a Heart of Wisdom 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 intention—awareness that our time isn’t infinite and should not be wasted on autopilot. Numbering our days means recognizing the value of each moment and choosing to learn the kind of wisdom that changes our hearts and shapes our lives. Why is this important? Because without intentional reflection, it’s easy to drift. We slip into habits that keep us so busy, so distracted, we miss out on deeper understanding and genuine growth. We become skilled at activity but flawed in purpose. Wisdom comes not from more tasks checked off but from insightful living—a kind of maturity that flows from knowing where we’ve been and where we want to go. The K.I.S.S. ~ Gain a heart of wisdom! So how can we begin to number our days and open ourselves to this heart of wisdom? 1. Step out of autopilot Pause today and ask yourself: Am I present for this day, or just going through the motions? Awareness is the doorway to change. Don’t wait for a crisis or a wake-up call. Lean into the discomfort of slowing down, and ask yourself what your life is teaching you right now. 2. Reflect honestly on your priorities Look at where your time goes—not just what you say is important, but the reality of your daily habits. Are you living for someone else’s definition of success? Is busyness masking a deeper emptiness? When we number our days, we see clearly where to cut the clutter and make room for what truly fuels us. 3. Seek wisdom from your own experiences Every day brings lessons if we’re paying attention. Don’t dismiss setbacks or challenges—they are often the best teachers. Journal your thoughts, meditate on your choices, and be curious about what your life is nudging you toward. Wisdom isn’t a sudden download; it’s earned through reflection and learning. 4. Cultivate a heart that welcomes growth Wisdom requires humility—the willingness to admit what we don’t know and to embrace new perspectives. Practice gratitude for lessons learned, even when they’re tough. Be open to changing old beliefs or habits that no longer serve you. This is an invitation, not an obligation. Numbering your days isn’t about guilt or pressure; it’s about reclaiming your time and stepping fully into your own journey. It’s about building a heart that understands what matters beneath the surface noise and fleeting distractions. The days ahead are your chance to live with intention, to gather wisdom like treasure, and to walk a path that honors your unique story. Don’t let your life be measured by habits alone—let it be shaped by presence and purpose. Start today. Number your days and gain a heart of wisdom. "Be present. Be incredible.

3977 Plant Your Patience 02/18/2026

3977 Plant Your Patience 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 like-minded women? Join us at the . The truth is simple but often ignored: anything worth having or becoming takes time. Success. Mastery. Healing. Connection. All these start as small seeds—fragile and tentative. They need watering, sunlight, and time to sprout and grow strong. Life gets confusing when we let the chaos of busyness control us. The tangled mess we often find ourselves in is rarely due to external forces but rather to our letting impatience lead, pushing us into frantic motion that scatters our focus and energy. Here’s a new perspective: patience is not passive waiting. It’s an active, powerful choice to nurture your goals thoughtfully, to respect the natural pace of growth, and to stay present in the process instead of racing toward the finish line. The K.I.S.S. ~ Plant your patience! Ready to grow your patience and watch your progress blossom? Start with these three things: Plant Belief as Your Seed Every change begins with belief—the conviction that what you want is possible and worth the time it takes. Without this foundation, patience feels like a frustrating wait. With belief, it becomes a hopeful planting, a promise to yourself that you’re investing in your future. Nourish with Consistent Action, Not Instant Results Patience isn’t about sitting still; it’s about steady, deliberate care. Small, purposeful steps compound over time to produce growth. Celebrate the daily efforts—even when results aren’t immediate—to build momentum and faith in the process. Create Space to Reflect and Adjust Growth doesn’t happen in chaos. Carve out moments away from distractions to observe your progress, adjust your approach, and quiet the noise of doubt. Mindful reflection refuels patience and keeps your vision grounded. Remember: patience is a muscle you build with practice, not a fixed trait you either have or don’t. The more you cultivate it, the more your progress expands naturally and powerfully. To honor this journey, here’s an original poem by Kristianne Wargo that captures the magic of planting patience and believing in the impossible: Planting Patience by Kristianne Wargo Plant the seed, though the soil is bare, though the days feel slow, though no bloom is there. Water it with belief, sunlight of quiet grace, roots grow beneath— in their own time and place. Storms may come, and winds may bend, but patience is the promise that growth has no end. So slow your hurry, tend with care, great things take time— they blossom where You dare to plant patience there. Patience planted is progress made. When you root your actions in belief and nurture them with steady care, the impossible shifts closer to inevitable. It’s time to stop rushing. Start planting. Watch your growth surprise you.

3976 Come Back to Center 02/17/2026

3976 Come Back to Center 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 mold that doesn’t fit. It’s about being brutally real and raw with yourself, knowing who you are and who you are becoming. No fluff. No distractions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The endless scramble for what’s next breeds a sneaky fear—the fear of missing out. Who wants to feel like they’re getting left behind? No one. But here’s a little secret you’ve got to laugh at: you’re not missing out by messing up. Yes, messing up! Sometimes the chaos is exactly where the lessons are hiding. So go ahead—giggle a little at the mess, because that’s how you know you’re showing up, fully present and alive. That’s what coming back to center feels like. Stop chasing the next shiny object, sprinting from one distraction to another. Instead, look at where you are right now and where you want to be. Life’s too short to miss the messy moments that carry the biggest treasures. The K.I.S.S. ~ Come back to center! Some of the most precious blessings don’t come wrapped in perfection. They come through the cracks in the chaos. The sweet spots in the struggle. Come back to center and see them clearly. Take the time to ground yourself. Get honest about your current reality and what’s possible from here. Because only when you’re truly centered can you make the next move with clarity and confidence. “One step at a time leads to miles of greatness.” ~ Kristianne Wargo So stop spinning. Stop chasing. Come back to center. That’s where everything real begins. "Be present. Be incredible.

3975 The Power of Silence 02/16/2026

3975 The Power of Silence 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 supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . So, imagine what would happen if you intentionally stepped back and embraced silence—not the kind of silence where you’re idle or checked out, but a powerful, purposeful silence where your mind clears and your focus sharpens. The real power of silence is in the intentional pause. It’s choosing to step away from the chaos, the scrambling, and the noise so you can regain control and clarity. This kind of silence fuels concentration—not distraction. It tunes your mindset toward precision rather than panic. It demands intentionality from every decision rather than letting your choices be hijacked by whatever shouts loudest. It ignites focus, determination, and hope, rather than fatigue and confusion. When you harness the power of silence, you’re not running from life—you’re engaging with it on your own terms. You’re setting your own rhythm instead of reacting to the world’s frantic speed. The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage with intentional silence every day! So, what are three ways you can embrace and engage this intentional silence every day? Schedule Silence Like a Meeting If you want silence to work for you, you have to treat it seriously. Block a consistent time on your calendar—a span long enough to think, reflect, or strategize without distraction. Guard this time as fiercely as you would a doctor's appointment or an important deadline. Create a Distraction-Free Zone Silence doesn’t just mean shutting your lips. It means shutting down the constant digital noise too. Turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and put your phone in another room if you have to. Your environment must support your purpose. Use Silence to Guide Action, Not Avoid It Intentional silence isn’t procrastination dressed up as meditation. It’s a tool to sharpen your clarity and set your direction. Use the space to prioritize what truly matters and craft your next move with conviction. The point isn’t to escape the mess of daily demands—it’s to find the quiet space where your mind recalibrates and your will grows strong. When you own this silence, you walk forward with purpose, not reaction. You act with confidence, not hesitation. You decide with courage, not confusion. Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of power. It gives you the chance to rewrite your story with clarity instead of contradiction. It lights a path through the noise and leads you to where your focus, determination, and hope reside. So don’t wait for silence to find you. Seize it. Own it. Use it. Your next level begins when you choose to turn down the volume and tune in to what really matters. "Be present. Be incredible.

3974 Love On Purpose 02/15/2026

3974 Love On Purpose 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 should be, often measuring love by performance or appearance. But God doesn’t work that way. “For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . God loves us fully—quirks, warts, mistakes, and all—and asks us to do the same for others. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). When we love on purpose, we love past the surface and beyond judgment. Take Off the Mask What if, this Valentine’s weekend, we stopped putting conditions on who deserves our love? What if we stopped expecting others to look or act a certain way before we show them kindness? “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1) challenges us to remove those filters and biases. So, take off the mask and see people as God sees them: beloved, valuable, broken, and in need of grace. “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). This isn’t cheap love; it’s a deliberate choice to meet others where they are, not where we think they should be. How Would Loving Like God Change Us? When we love unconditionally, our hearts shift. We become more patient, more compassionate, and less reactive. We stop guarding against disappointment and start embracing acceptance. “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another” (Ephesians 4:31-32). The K.I.S.S. ~ Love on purpose! This kind of love transforms your daily interactions. Instead of reacting from a place of frustration or fear, you get to respond with generosity and hope—because God’s love has already covered you, and me. Love Elevated: Beyond a Holiday With it being Valentine’s Day weekend, we often focus on romantic love, but God’s love reaches far wider and deeper. It invites us to love on purpose—not only those closest to us but also the overlooked, the difficult, and the imperfect. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). Loving like God is the highest calling and the truest gift we can give. Your Next Move Challenge yourself to love without the conditions you normally set. See beyond the mask. Show up for people not because they meet your standards, but because God’s love compels you. When you love on purpose, you don’t just mirror God’s heart—you bring His kingdom here on earth, in the way you live and love every single day. "Be present. Be incredible.

3973 The Sweetness that Melts the Heart 02/14/2026

3973 The Sweetness that Melts the Heart 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 not about matching the world’s expectations or outdoing the latest Instagram couple. It’s about turning your attention from the noise, the flashy gestures, and the “should-dos” to what genuinely feeds your connection. Imagine what would happen if, instead of chasing the next big thing, you created moments only the two of you understand, moments that become a private treasure no one else can touch. The K.I.S.S. ~ Craft a private treasure! Here are three ways a spouse can craft that kind of treasure: Listen Like It’s the Easiest Thing in the World Forget multitasking or half-hearing. True sweetness is showing up fully—hearing the unsaid, noticing the small shifts in tone and energy. When you listen deeply, your partner feels seen and safe. That’s the kind of richness no store can provide. Create Private Rituals That Echo Your Story Instead of mimicking a checklist of date ideas, build rituals that speak to your history together. Maybe it’s a Sunday morning coffee made exactly how your spouse loves it, or a secret handshake that makes only the two of you smile. These seemingly small acts become emotional investments that grow sweeter every time you share them. Speak Your Heart, Even When It’s Scary Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the ultimate form of strength. Sharing your fears, hopes, or a simple “I appreciate you” with no expectation attached builds trust and closeness. That honest connection dissolves walls and melts hearts deeper than any diamond. Life doesn’t wait. Every moment you spend chasing the shiny and predictable is a moment you’re not deepening the one thing money can’t buy: a heart that keeps learning to love your person better. So drop the script everyone else is reading and rewrite your own. Celebrate your love with a sweetness that’s not a costume or decoration, but a living, breathing bond only you two can share. That’s the sweetness that melts the heart. Sweetness Beyond the Gift by Kristianne Wargo Not in wrapped boxes, ribbons tight, Nor priced tags gleaming in the light. Sweetness blooms where silence speaks, In quiet moments, between heartbeats. It’s in the look, the knowing glance, The secret laugh, the stolen dance. Not found in what the world demands, But held within your trembling hands. To listen—truly, deep and slow, Where whispered truths like rivers flow. A ritual shaped by just two souls, A love that mends and quietly holds. Vulnerability, the bravest art, The naked sharing of your heart. Beyond the flash, the grand parade, In simple grace, a bond is made. So turn your eyes from worldly show, Find what only you both know— A sweetness rich, none can divide, The treasure of love found deep inside. "Be present. Be incredible.

3972 You Make My Heart So Happy! 02/13/2026

3972 You Make My Heart So Happy! 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 happy! Your child is not just a recipient of love—they are love in motion. Every giggle, every fierce try, every moment of curiosity is a thread woven into the fabric of your heart. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . They carry a collection of unique gifts and talents that make them who they are, and these gifts deserve more than just a nod on Valentine’s Day. They deserve to be seen, celebrated, and nourished in ways that build confidence and joy well beyond this single day. As a mom, you know the fierce pride that rises when you watch your child try something new or stand tall despite their fears. You feel it in the small moments—when they share their dreams, offer kindness, or reveal a spark of creativity you didn’t see before. This Valentine’s Day, lean into that fierce love with intention. Celebrate your child not with candy or flowers but with words and actions that honor the bouquet of talents and heartbeats they bring into your world. The kind of celebration that serves them long term, planting seeds of self-worth and happiness they’ll carry through every year to come. The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate your child! Here’s how you can honor your child’s unique light this Valentine’s Day—and make their heart just as happy as yours. 1. Write a Love Letter That Speaks Their Language No generic Valentine’s card can compare to a letter from you that names exactly what makes your child shine. Write down the moments you saw their courage, kindness, or creativity in action. Be specific: “I loved how you stood up for your friend today,” or “Your drawing made me smile because it’s so full of imagination.” This focused attention tells your child, “I see you—truly and deeply,” and that kind of love sticks with them long term. 2. Fill a Love Jar With Affirmations They Can Reach For Anytime Every child needs a reminder they’re extraordinary, especially when days feel tough. Fill a jar with little notes of praise, favorite memories, or fun challenges tied to their passions. Whether they pull out a note before a test or on a gloomy day, these bites of encouragement become a portable pep talk from their biggest fan—you. It’s an ongoing celebration that keeps on giving. 3. Create a Mini Celebration Around What Makes Them Glow What activities make your child’s eyes light up and their smile widen? Maybe solving puzzles, dancing, or helping around the house? Dedicate Valentine’s afternoon to that passion. This choice says, “I notice what you love, and you deserve time to do it.” When children feel their interests are valued, it builds confidence that outlasts any sweet treat. Valentine’s Day is the perfect moment to trade the expected for the exceptional—to tell your child with actions and words that they are deeply loved for exactly who they are and what they bring into the world. Because when you celebrate your child’s true gifts, you’re planting seeds of pride and joy they’ll carry for life. And that's when you say—you make your heart so happy. "Be present. Be incredible.

3971 You Can’t Have Everything—And That’s Okay! 02/12/2026

3971 You Can’t Have Everything—And That’s Okay! 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? Join us at the . Let's take a bite out of the for a hot minute. Perfection would freeze you in place, robbing you of growth, struggle, and the raw humanity that shapes your unique story. Now you might be wanting to give up that struggle, but remember, beauty comes from pressure. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! So let’s cut the nonsense of complaining and comparing. Instead, focus on what you do have. Notice the blessings you’re still creating, the work-in-progress that others often miss. See the messy, imperfect, chaotic path, and find within it your hidden treasures — the gifts you’re polishing up, the diamonds in the rough only you possess. This isn’t a consolation prize. It’s the foundation of your one-of-a-kind masterpiece. You don’t have to be flawless. You get to be real. You have to be all in on the beautiful, complicated, unfinished work of becoming exactly who you’re meant to be; who you are now and who you are becoming. So stop chasing everyone else's journey. Own your journey. Build the living legacy only you can create. Because the world needs YOU! "Be present. Be incredible.

3970 How You Create Your Now Shapes Every Tomorrow 02/11/2026

3970 How You Create Your Now Shapes Every Tomorrow 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 overnight. They start as tiny actions that seem almost invisible at first, but over time, they compound. And the best part? When you lean into small daily wins, those good habits become your foundation. The bad habits lose their grip, fading into the background like static noise. This isn’t about chasing an impossible, perfect life. It’s about crafting YOUR life—step by step—so that light always breaks through, even when the darkness threatens to swallow you whole. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! This happens as good habits become great habits, and the bad ones fade into the past. This opens up the possibilities and opportunities where you can always see the light even though darkness looms. This is not about who you are, but whose you are. There is a bigger picture of who God created you to become. When you walk in your everyday God's way, life looks and feels different. It's never perfect, but there is always a reflection of hope on the other side. So, as we begin to look at the wellspring of your life, what can you do to build simple, intentional actions into your everyday? Own Your Morning Start How you begin your day isn’t just how you wake up—it sets the tone for every single thing afterward. Taking 5 minutes to breathe, journal, or study God's Word beats scrolling on your phone first thing. Let all that craziness go. This is your chance to decide how you want to show up: Am I stepping into intentionality, or am I handing it over to distractions? You decide. Make One Choice With Purpose Each hour, ask yourself, “What choice right now moves me forward?” Maybe it’s replying to that email, stepping away from distractions to focus, or drinking a glass of water instead of grabbing junk food. These small, purposeful choices build mental muscle. You gain momentum. Your results reflect your intentional actions. Reflect and Adjust Nightly Don’t sleep on reflection—it’s the secret weapon most miss. Spend a couple of minutes reviewing your day. What worked? What didn’t? What will you drop tomorrow? This simple habit keeps you honest and agile. It wins the war on autopilot living and creates space to course correct before mistakes repeat. Here’s what you need to know: You don’t have to conquer the world today. But in every moment, you get to decide what you create. That adds up. Good becomes great. The past’s shadows fade. And what remains is your light—steady and real. The joy that begins to grow is no longer based on your circumstances. The peace that surpasses all understanding is not because of what you've done. Create your now every day God's way. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #WellspringWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3969 Reframe the Frame 02/10/2026

3969 Reframe the Frame Life is a relentless challenge. Sometimes it feels like waves crashing one after another—without a pause. If you pile on extra weight from how you see those waves crashing, you don’t just face the storm; you drown in it before your day even begins. Look at your life differently; reframe the frame. Your mind doesn’t just observe your reality, it creates it. The frame you choose to see your life through either traps you in frustration or frees you to act with clarity. When everything feels impossible, the difference between sinking and swimming is rewriting that frame. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . You’re not some helpless victim to circumstance. Bit by bit, moment by moment, you get to reshape the lens through which you view the chaos. Reframing isn’t about denying the struggle—it’s about refusing to be defined by it. It’s about asking, “What is truly happening here, and what can I choose to see differently right now?” Maybe your project failed, but what did it teach you? Maybe your relationships are fractured, but what part of yourself are you discovering? Maybe your energy is low, but where else can you find a spark to keep going? The K.I.S.S. ~ Reframe the frame! The masterpiece of your life unfolds every day. You hold the brush. Choose your lenses intentionally—whether they highlight wounds or windows, barriers or breakthroughs. Adjust your angle just enough to spot the silver threads hidden in the tangled mess. That’s how you find the unexpected beauty buried beneath the struggle. Stop letting your default narrative write itself in misery. Reframe the frame, and suddenly, the chaos looks less like an enemy and more like your raw material. A canvas screaming for your perspective. You don’t need a new life. You need a new way of seeing this one. Your move. What frame will you pick today? "Be present. Be incredible.

3968 When Life Doesn't Go As Planned 02/09/2026

3968 When Life Doesn't Go As Planned Have you ever paused to ask yourself why the goals you once set remain out of reach? Why the plans you carefully crafted seem to unravel, leaving you stuck somewhere between disappointment and confusion? When life doesn’t go as planned, the fallout can feel like a long, harsh fall—so disorienting that figuring out the next step seems impossible. And yet, we cling to that single burning desire: to push through and reclaim the path we envisioned. Life rarely bends to our will. Our decisions set a chain of actions in motion, but outcomes depend on factors both within and beyond our control. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Success or failure isn't just about the choices you make—it’s about how you respond when those choices don’t deliver the results you aimed for. So, what do you do when things don’t pan out? Do you stew in frustration, letting the weight of unmet expectations crush your momentum? Do you quit and move on, chalking the experience up as a loss? Or do you pause long enough to reflect, recalibrate, and then lean back in with fresh resolve? Urgency and looming deadlines can pressure us into rushing through setbacks. It’s tempting to sweep failures under the rug and act like they never happened. But life is too short—and your dreams too important—for surface-level fixes. Sometimes, you need to stop right there. Take time to rest. To think. To shift your mindset away from obsessing over the outcome and toward valuing your efforts. Why efforts? Because results can feel like fickle markers of worth. They don’t always reflect your hustle, learning, or growth. When you hold tight to your efforts rather than clutching desperately to a specific result, you build resilience. You turn failure into fuel. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn failure into fuel! And you know that isn't done by quitting. You must hold on to determination and diligence. Here are three straightforward strategies to hold onto determination and diligence—no matter what life throws at you: Pause and Assess: Take a deliberate breath. Acknowledge what went wrong without judgment. This moment of clarity helps you understand your decisions and their impact, so your next action is smarter, not just reactionary. Reframe Failure: Look at failure as a signpost, not a dead-end. It’s feedback—valuable data on what didn’t work, where the gaps are, and what you can do differently. This mindset reduces fear and opens room for growth. Commit to Consistent Action: Show up every day and chip away at your goals, regardless of setbacks. Determination isn’t about giant leaps; it’s about faithful persistence. No one reaches greatness overnight. Remember, success isn’t a straight line. It's a messy path filled with choices that sometimes lead to stumbles. But those stumbles don’t have to define you or your journey. They can teach you, sharpen you, and set you up for an even stronger comeback. So hang tight. Stay focused on the effort you pour in daily, not just the scoreboard. Your next move is ready and waiting—one step at a time. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." — Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3967 The Game Isn't Over Yet 02/08/2026

3967 The Game Isn't Over Yet The final quarter of any game is the ultimate test—the moment when hope and pressure collide. The scoreboard might look grim, and it’s tempting to feel worn down or defeated. But true faith pushes past what our eyes see and clings to what God’s Word promises. Faith is that quiet, persistent voice inside that says, “The game isn’t over yet.” When life overwhelms or uncertainty creeps in, anchoring yourself in belief brings endurance and courage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” This verse reminds us that faith is not passive—it’s active trust even when the outcome isn’t clear. Today, renew your faith as the ultimate comeback play. Faith requires full surrender. Ask yourself: Where are you holding too tightly? Proverbs 3:5-6 commands, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.” The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith in the fourth quarter! What would happen if you opened your hands and let God take control? The peace described in Philippians 4:7 might just flood your heart: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Too often, we clutch life through control—our plans, outcomes, and timing. But God’s invitation is clear: “You do not need to carry this alone.” Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Walking by faith means stepping into the water where God holds you up (Isaiah 43:2). That’s where peace lives, beyond circumstances or scores. So, what would your Super Bowl life look like if you truly gave it to God? When you surrender control and trust His plan, you’re always on the winning team. Romans 8:28 promises, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even when things don’t go as you expect, God’s got you. In the fourth quarter of your story, faith refuses defeat. It fuels a fierce resilience and a confident hope. The game isn’t over yet—because God holds the final play, and with Him, victory is always within reach. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

3966 Build an Unbeatable Marriage 02/07/2026

3966 Build an Unbeatable Marriage Marriage isn’t a solo journey—it’s a coordinated team effort that wins or loses together. Like a quarterback reading his receiver’s movements or a pair of dancers moving in perfect harmony, successful marriages require sharp communication, unwavering trust, and an instinctive understanding of each other’s needs. When both partners learn to anticipate, adapt, and align their moves toward shared goals, they build an unbeatable marriage—on and off the field. This kind of partnership doesn’t happen by accident. It takes practice, commitment, and a game plan that both partners buy into. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Too often, couples play on different teams or worse, sit out the game altogether because facing reality feels harder than staying on the sidelines. But settling for “not broken enough” means settling for far less than the Super Bowl-caliber marriage you deserve. So, how do you get back in the game and play on the same team again? Here’s the truth: it starts with one person willing to make the first move. Since marriage is a team sport, it takes both players to cross the finish line—but the kickoff begins with you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Recommit and win together! Three Action Steps to Recommit and Win Together Spend Meaningful Time Together Put distractions on pause and carve out 30 minutes this weekend for a focused conversation about what matters most—your shared priorities, your feelings, your goals. This isn’t small talk, it’s game strategy. Listen Deeply Don’t just hear words; tune into the unspoken. Pay attention to tone, pauses, and body language. When you listen beyond the surface, you understand your partner’s playbook in a way that changes the whole game. Celebrate the Micro Moments Winning isn’t just about the big touchdowns. Find and celebrate small wins—a thoughtful gesture, a shared meal, or even a simple “I’m thinking of you” text. Those moments build momentum and remind you you’re on the same team. Imagine if more marriages approached their partnership like a team sport—with clear roles, mutual respect, and a shared mission. Families would see less chaos and more cohesiveness because everyone is aligned and playing together. Remember this: It takes one to start, but two to finish. Step onto the field, take the snap, and recommit to playing this game side by side. Your best season yet awaits. "Be present. Be incredible.

3965 Red Zone Parenting 02/06/2026

3965 Red Zone Parenting Parenting is like running a red zone play in football — the stakes are sky-high, the pressure’s crushing, and every move matters more than usual. You’re tired, stretched thin, and the margin for error feels paper-thin. It’s that relentless zone where kids need you most, but sometimes in red zone parenting, you just want to drop the playbook and cry. No one often says: being a great parent doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. The real power comes from showing up as you are—flawed, vulnerable, exhausted—and still choosing love and presence. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . When you admit “I’m overwhelmed” or “I don’t have it all figured out,” you’re not falling apart. You’re teaching your kids resilience, authenticity, and unconditional love. That honesty is the kind of strength that sticks. If you’ve been holding it together with duct tape and sheer willpower, this is your permission slip to be real with yourself. Embrace the messiness and give yourself grace in the chaos. The K.I.S.S. ~ Give yourself grace in the chaos! Because ultimately, parenting’s toughest moments aren’t failures; they’re the red zone plays where character is built. Action Steps to Own Your Red Zone Journal Honestly Reflect on a moment recently when the pressure hit hard and you felt ready to lose it. Now, right next to it, write an unshakable truth about how your love, patience, or strength showed up—even if it felt small. This isn’t about spinning a sad story—it’s about recognizing that in the toughest moments, you still brought something valuable. Set Boundaries Identify one parenting or household responsibility that’s bleeding you dry and say “no” or delegate it guilt-free. When you are in that red zone, take away some of the pressure. Notice how just shifting that one thing can lighten your load. Boundaries aren’t selfish; they’re survival. Say Yes to You Carve out 15 minutes on your calendar for yourself—read, breathe, stretch, or step outside. No apologies and no multitasking. Treat this appointment as non-negotiable. Because if you don’t refill your own well, every red zone moment will feel impossible. When the red zone hits—and trust me, it will—remember you aren’t alone, and you don’t have to be perfect. Your willingness to show up authentically, test your limits, and ask for what you need is the play that wins every time. "Be present. Be incredible.

3964 Find Strength in Your Team 02/05/2026

3964 Find Strength in Your Team Too often, we’re sold the myth that success means shouldering everything solo. You’re told to grind, hustle, and prove yourself by pushing harder—alone. But here’s the truth: you’re not less for needing help. You’re smart and strong for building a team you can rely on; find strength in your team. Let's being in the experts of the week: look at Super Bowl quarterbacks. Nobody wins a game without a huddle—a moment when the entire team stops, locks in, and plans the next move. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Your life and business work the same way. Even the toughest, most driven leaders don’t go it alone. They have a tribe—a support system that keeps them steady, sparks new ideas, and fires them up when the going gets tough. True strength isn’t about going it alone. It’s about knowing who’s in your corner, trusting them, and leaning on each other to push through roadblocks. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find strength in your team! That’s how momentum builds. That’s how breakthroughs happen. So this week, stop trying to carry the weight by yourself. Build your huddle. Deepen those trusted connections. Share the load, get feedback, and be honest about what you need. Because the score you really want isn’t just measured in wins. It’s measured in resilience, growth, and the power of coming together. When was the last time you came together, whether for yourself or someone else? "Build your huddle, because strength isn’t a solo game; it’s a team sport." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

3963 Fuel Like A Champion 02/04/2026

3963 Fuel Like A Champion Do you want to play like a champion? Then start by treating your mind and body like they actually matter. Because if you're honest with yourself, talent and hustle can only carry you so far when your fuel tank is running on empty, your brain is fogged, and your body is begging for rest. The power of peak performance is not just for the field. So fuel like a champion. The elite football players of the Super Bowl. They don’t just show up to practice—they obsess over how they eat, sleep, and recover. That’s their secret weapon. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . But here's the thing: It's not all about the plays on the field. Yes, it helps you score points, but you have to be able score for it to matter! If your body cannot do it, you will not win! So what if you took the same approach? This isn’t about turning your life upside down overnight. It’s about making smart, deliberate choices that build your foundation. Health isn’t a bonus or something you just get to have. It’s the bedrock of everything you want to conquer, whether on the field, in the office, or at home. All the more reason why you must fuel like a champion. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fuel like a champion! First off, I want you to think about what you are currently doing. Are you trying to win the game of life with minimal energy, little rest, and lots of sugar? Or are you being strategic in the manner in which you care for your mind and body? Now I get that there are some grand events happening this week. You've got the start of the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Who doesn't want to celebrate with good food and drinks? Do so, but in a manner that won't tear apart your insides or your outsides. Right?!? I mean, come on! Give yourself permission, though, to celebrate with kindness. This week, real commitment means small but strategic shifts that unlock your strength, focus, and resilience. It’s your move—are you ready? Action Steps to Fuel Like a Champion Sleep Audit: Start tracking your sleep for a few nights. Use an app, a journal, whatever works—but be honest. Then commit to getting at least 7 hours a night this week. Don’t settle for less. Optimal sleep is where recovery begins—it’s when your muscles rebuild, your brain clears out mental cobwebs, and your energy tanks refill. "Sleep is the carwash for your body!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Nutrition Swap: Identify one processed or sugary item you grab daily, and replace it with a nutrient-dense alternative. Swap that candy bar for a handful of nuts. Replace soda with infused water or herbal tea. These might seem small, but they add up fast. Your body and brain will reward you with more stamina, sharper focus, and steadier mood swings. Mindful Moments: Dedicate 10 minutes each morning or evening to reset. Try deep breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching. This isn’t about zen mastery—it’s about clearing your nervous system so stress doesn’t pile up and cloud your performance. Consistency here keeps you calm, centered, and ready to execute. Let’s be real: ignoring this is just playing with fire. If you want peak performance, then show yourself the same respect that champions do. This week, lean into these steps. Track your progress, push your limits, and watch what happens when you treat your mind and body like the true MVPs they are. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just real fuel for real results. You’ve got clarity. Now it’s time for action. Keep the momentum going—show up strong, focused, and undefeated. "Be present. Be incredible.

3962 More Than Just Words 02/03/2026

3962 More Than Just Words It’s simple to say “thank you” on autopilot or offer gratitude as a social nicety while rushing through life. But when was the last time you really felt it? When did you pause long enough to notice how gratitude reshapes your heart? Gratitude is more than just words. Gratitude isn’t just a polite exchange. It’s a profound internal shift. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It softens the rough edges inside—the bitterness, the brokenness—that build up from stress, disappointment, or the grind of daily struggle. Gratitude creates a crack in the wall you’ve built around yourself, allowing light and connection to flow in. This opening isn’t just for others—it’s a gift you give yourself. Think about your cup when it’s empty. No energy, no hope, no joy. Gratitude is like a quiet refill, no flashy fireworks but an undeniable boost. It doesn’t just fill the cup; it strengthens the walls, making you more resilient, more peaceful, more present. The K.I.S.S. ~ More than just words! Finding gratitude every day doesn’t need to be complicated. It can be a small moment—a breath, a smile, a thank you whisper to your own soul. But done consistently, it rewires your perspective, turning what once felt heavy into something lighter, more manageable. The invitation is simple: Don’t wait for a perfect reason to be grateful. Find the cracks where light can come in today. Let gratitude do the hard work of healing—and watch what happens to your heart. Gratitude’s Gift by Kristianne Wargo Gratitude unclenches fists once tight, Soften edges carved by fight or flight. It’s a quiet key, no grand parade, That opens locked doors where shadows stayed. A cup once empty, parched, and dry, Receives this gift, a wellspring high. Not just for others, but for your soul— Gratitude fills and makes you whole. It’s the grace in a simple “thank you” said, The light that brightens where doubt once tread. A balm for hearts weathered and worn— In daily thanks, a new dawn is born. "Be present. Be incredible.

3961 Master Your Mental Game 02/02/2026

3961 Master Your Mental Game Have you ever pondered what's your game plan for greatness in life? When the pressure mounts and the stakes skyrocket, only one thing separates champions from the rest: your mindset. We can see this in real time by observing athletes. Imagine yourself as a Super Bowl quarterback, the clock ticking down with a roaring crowd watching your every move. Your ability to lead in that moment isn’t about talent alone—it’s about how to master your mental game. The mindset to stay calm, strategic, and decisive under pressure is like a muscle you can train and strengthen every day. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Staying calm when the noise is deafening, thinking strategically when every second counts, and making decisive moves when hesitation could cost everything—that’s not luck, that’s training a mindset like a muscle. It takes dedication. It takes intentionality. It takes reading. It takes breathing. It takes rest. It takes you! You saying "YES" to your miles of greatness. So here’s the challenge: What’s your game plan for greatness—not sometime down the road, but right now? If you’re tired of chaos driving your decisions and want to lead yourself like a pro in your own arena, you must master your mental game. The K.I.S.S. ~ Master your mental game! That means it starts in the mind! You have got to control what you let into your mind, what you hang out with in your mind, and where you let your mind wander. Here are three strategic moves to make today. Own Your Mindset Daily Like training muscles, sharpening your mental strength takes intention every single day. That means carving out time to center yourself—whether through journaling, meditation, or simply reviewing your goals before diving into the day. Build a habit of noticing when fear, doubt, or distractions creep in—and practice switching gears quickly. Craft Clear, Non-Negotiable Priorities Greatness isn’t about doing more—it’s about focusing fiercely on what moves the needle. Get crystal clear on the few things that genuinely matter in your life. When decisions come at warp speed, these priorities become your playbook. No wasted energy, no confusion. Visualize the Win, Own the Process Imagine that winning moment in vivid detail—the breakthrough call, the sold-out launch, the hard-earned celebration. But don’t stop there. Own the grind it takes to get there. That mental rehearsal primes your brain for success and instills the confidence to take massive action without hesitation. Remember, success isn’t a lightning strike or a lucky break. It’s the result of mastering your mind to lead your life. When you connect what’s in your head with what’s in your heart, your actions align—and greatness becomes inevitable. What’s your next move? Sam Darnold will start for the Seattle Seahawks and Drake Maye will start for the New England Patriots this coming Super Bowl 2026.

3960 Why the Small Stuff Matters to God 02/01/2026

3960 Why the Small Stuff Matters to God Have you ever thought why the small stuff matters to God? Shouldn't just the big things that shift your life get all the attention? It’s easy to let your everyday get swallowed up by the routines and distractions, work deadlines, household chores, and endless to-do lists that we often overlook where our faith truly intersects with our everyday moments. But you must remember, God cares deeply about the seemingly small, mundane parts of your day. It’s in these moments that your faith becomes real, not just a Sunday sentiment but a lived reality. Consider Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV): “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . This scripture reminds us that no task is too trivial when done with a heart oriented toward God. The dishes you wash, the emails you send, the conversations you have—they all hold spiritual significance when aligned with a desire to honor God. In fact, Jesus points us to this daily intersection in Luke 16:10 (NIV): “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Faithfulness in the “little” things of life is the foundational soil where spiritual growth happens. When we overlook the mundane, we miss opportunities to live out God’s values: kindness, patience, and integrity. Another powerful truth is found in Matthew 6:33 (NIV): “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Seeking God’s kingdom isn’t only about grand gestures or major decisions; it’s also about putting Him first in how you handle your daily commitments, your mindset during challenges, and your attitude toward others. The K.I.S.S. ~ Why the small stuff matters to God! So, what does it look like when faith and daily life intersect? It means choosing gratitude over grumbling in traffic, offering compassion when stressed, or praying quietly during a moment of overwhelm. It’s living with the awareness that your everyday actions echo far beyond your immediate circumstances—they resonate in God’s bigger story. Don’t get trapped in the illusion that your faith is separate from your daily grind. It’s precisely where you are—right now—that God wants to meet you. When you stop glossing over what feels mundane and instead invite God into those moments, your life reflects a faith that’s honest, active, and deeply rooted. “You are not just a Sunday Christian,” Paul reminds us in Romans 12:1 (paraphrased): offer your whole self every day as a living sacrifice—holy and pleasing to God. Your daily life is your worship. It’s where you say, “God, I trust You here.” So let faith and life collide—in your 9 to 5, your family chaos, your quiet mornings. That’s where the real work happens. This is what really matters—not just to you, but more importantly to God. "Be present. Be incredible.

3959 Present But Distant 01/31/2026

3959 Present But Distant Marriage isn’t just the big moments: the wedding day, anniversaries, or vacations. A huge part of it happens in the "in-between": the daily grind, the shuffle of family life, the countless errands, work schedules, and responsibilities that fill every corner of your time. In this chaos, it's easy and dangerously common for spouses to drift apart without even noticing. You’re both so busy serving the kids, managing the household, or chasing careers that choosing to connect as a couple takes a backseat. You become like two ships passing in the day and night, present but distant. Your marriage can’t survive on busy schedules and shared roof lines alone. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . If you don’t learn how to wrestle with the in-between—the small moments where real connection can be made—you risk becoming strangers living parallel lives. When the noise quiets and the family leaves the room, the question becomes: who is going to be sitting next to you? If you haven’t intentionally fought for closeness during your everyday life, you may not recognize the one beside you anymore. You need to be intentional about drawing closer to one another. The K.I.S.S. ~ Draw closer to one another! So how do you draw closer in the in-between? How do you stake your claim as partners, even when life feels chaotic, and you’re both pulled in a million directions? Here are three non-negotiable approaches to intentionally bridge the gap. Be Present Without Distraction This sounds simple, but it’s the foundation. When you’re physically together but mentally somewhere else, connection dies. Commit to carving out “device-free” moments—whether it’s 10 minutes before bed, a coffee in the morning, or a quick check-in after work—where your full attention is on one another. Listen like that time depends on it. Ask how your partner’s day truly went and resist jumping to problem-solving. Just be there, soaking in the presence of the person who’s supposed to be your closest ally. Own Your Role in the Rhythm of the Home Marriage doesn’t happen in isolation from family life, but it also can’t be sacrificed on the altar of busyness. Recognize how you contribute to the daily flow and actively look for ways to share responsibility, lighten your partner’s load, or create space for couple time. It’s not just about doing tasks but about signaling that your spouse matters enough to disrupt your own busy schedule. When you step in to support the shared life, you draw closer, not just practically but emotionally. Create Micro-Rituals That Mean Something Big date nights are great, but they are hard to sustain consistently. The real magic happens in simple, regular rituals that become your shared language. Maybe it’s a goodnight text every evening, a brief morning hug before the chaos begins, or sharing a weekly “high and low” where you talk about the best and worst parts of your week. These small but consistent acts become emotional anchors; they're proof that, despite the busyness, you’re actively choosing each other. In wrestling with the in-between, you are doing the hardest and most important work of marriage. It’s messy. It's not glamorous, but it is indispensable. If you settle for just “getting through,” you risk showing up as roommates rather than life partners. Is that what you really want? But if you lean into the daily struggle to be present, supportive, and intentional, even in the tiniest of tiniest moments, you build a foundation strong enough to weather any storm. When the family is gone, and only the two of you are standing in the quiet house, you’ll know exactly who is beside you—and why it matters. That’s not luck or circumstance. It’s your return on investment of wrestling intentionally with the in-between. "Be present. Be incredible.

3958 Make Your Last Word Good 01/30/2026

3958 Make Your Last Word Good Parenting is a relentless hustle. Sleepless nights blur into days of heartache, frustration, and moments when it feels like your efforts go unnoticed. In the chaos of discipline, schedules, and tears, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that you are the constant in your child’s world—their anchor and their guide. The truth is, what you say last in any interaction leaves a lasting imprint. That’s why it’s crucial: make your last word good. What does that mean? It means shifting focus from reaction to reflection. It means choosing the lasting message you want your child to take away, especially when things get tough. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It's not about perfection or having all the answers; it’s about planting seeds of understanding, respect, and hope that can grow as your child matures. The Power of Perspective As children grow, their understanding of rules and boundaries matures from simply obeying “because I said so” to grappling with why things are the way they are. They start to piece together context, connect cause and effect, and make sense of the bigger picture. But that doesn’t happen by chance—parents have to model that shift first. When you make your last word count, you’re giving your child a moment to reflect, not just react. You’re inviting them to see the reason behind the rule, the care behind the discipline, and the love beyond the frustration. This is maturity in action—and it’s what will stick with them long after the daily struggles. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make your last word good! What 3 Things Can You Do to Make Your Last Word Good? Choose Clarity Over Conflict When tempers rise or patience wears thin, your last word can easily turn into a sharp command or a harsh reprimand. Instead, pause and give clear, calm explanations. For example, rather than letting a conversation end with “You never listen,” try, “I love you, and I need us to work together on this.” It’s a simple shift, but it plants respect and connection instead of resentment. Anchor with Encouragement Kids hear a lot of correction, but they crave affirmation. Make your last word an uplifting one, even if you’re setting a boundary. “I know this is hard, but I believe in you” or “You’re learning every day, and I’m proud of how you’re trying” changes the tone. It tells your child they matter and that you see their effort, not just their mistakes. Leave a Thought to Carry Forward Your last word should offer something your child can chew on long after the moment passes. It might be a question to ponder, a reminder of shared values, or a gentle nudge toward self-reflection. For instance, “What can we do differently next time?” or “Remember, kindness is strength.” These seeds of wisdom encourage ongoing growth. To Every Parent Reading This Doing this work day in and day out isn’t easy. You’re navigating emotions, demands, and your own fatigue. But remember this: the tiny, intentional moments add up. The last word you leave with your child in each tough exchange is like the final brushstroke on a painting—they’ll remember the feeling more than the fight itself. Keep showing up. Keep adjusting your approach. Your efforts may feel invisible on some days, but they’re shaping the adults your children will become. Make your last word good. Make it count. Your child will thank you in ways you can’t even imagine yet. "Be present. Be incredible.

3957 Dig A Little Deeper 01/29/2026

3957 Dig A Little Deeper Life doesn’t wait for you to be ready. It hits hard, fast, and often without warning. When the storms roll in, they can scar your days and steal the peace from your nights. It’s raw. It’s real. And frankly, it’s not fun. Life has never been easy for anyone who’s ever done more than just exist. If you want to stand tall—if you want to break past the pain—you have to dig a little deeper. Digging deeper means rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands and heart a little dirty, diving headfirst into the mess that life throws your way. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s not about avoiding struggle or sitting on the sidelines waiting for clear skies. It’s about anchoring yourself right inside the storm, understanding its force, and figuring out how to move despite it. When you hit a wall—and you will—don’t just stand there and stare it down like a dead end. Walls are part of the landscape. They’re not your prison. Find a way around it. Climb it. Smash through it if you have to—but do it on your terms, in a way that honors who you are and who you are becoming. The K.I.S.S. ~ Dig a little deeper! This isn’t about stubbornness for stubbornness’s sake. It’s about resilience with purpose. You don’t settle because you think “this is good enough.” No. You chase after more—not more money, not more stuff—but more meaning, more impact, and more depth in your everyday life. When you cultivate that “more,” everything else begins to fall into place. So the next time life threatens to crush your spirit, remember this: You have a well inside you filled with untapped strength, grit, and tenacity. Dig in and unearth it. Push past the pain, the doubt, and the fatigue. The edge of your discomfort is where growth lives. Don’t quit. Don’t settle. Dig a little deeper—and watch how far you’ll go. "Be present.

3956 Why Does Everything Healthy Taste So Bad? 01/28/2026

3956 Why Does Everything Healthy Taste So Bad? Healthy living rarely feels easy. We say we want to be healthier, but when faced with salads that seem like lawn clippings or bland steamed veggies, we ask ourselves: Why does everything healthy taste so bad? The frustration isn’t just about flavor; it’s a symptom of a deeper battle between what our bodies crave and what our minds resist. Your taste buds and your body are often on two different pages, and that disconnect trips up even the most committed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . When we say “healthy,” we’re really talking about what our body needs to thrive—nutrients, real fuel, balance. But what our brain wants immediately tends to be sugar, salt, fat—the triple threat engineered by processed foods to hook us in. This clash makes healthy food feel like punishment, not a pleasure. Why does this happen? Because evolution wired us to survive scarcity, not abundance. Sweet and salty triggers told our ancestors where to find energy-dense food in the wild. Today, those cravings run wild thanks to a buffet of hyper-processed options. Meanwhile, nutrient-rich foods, often more subtle in taste, demand patience and resetting your palate—a job none of us signed up for overnight. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reset your taste buds! Because if we choose differently, there will be a greater hit to our health; where we resist the standards our bodies require because facing that means discipline, discomfort, and sacrifice. It means saying no to quick fixes and yes to choices that don’t deliver instant gratification. We ignore our body’s needs because honoring them questions our habits, priorities, and sometimes, our identity. That's the gut punch!! But there’s good news. Healthy living can “taste” good. Not just in your mouth—on your tongue—but in how it feels in your body, mind, and how you live your life. How? Start with these three moves: Reset Your Palate Gradually: Your taste buds adapt faster than you think. Swap one processed snack for a piece of fresh fruit or a handful of nuts each day. Over weeks, flavors you once found bland become vibrant. You start to crave the realness instead of the artificial. Connect Food to Feeling: Don’t just eat a salad because it’s “healthy.” Notice the energy, clarity, or calm it brings you afterward. When you link food with the benefit it provides, that “taste” becomes the reward, not the immediate sugary hit. Own Your Standards: You’re not on a diet; you’re living a lifestyle. Get clear on what your body deserves and hold that line. No excuses. Healthy living tastes better when you’re proud of your commitment and results. Now, imagine what healthy “tastes” like in a bigger sense: It’s waking up energized, not groggy. It’s wearing clothes that fit right, not stretched out. It’s feeling confident in your skin and owning your day without hitting a wall at 2 PM. It’s more than food—it’s peace of mind, resilience, and freedom. It's about honoring your mind, body, and spirit. That’s the real flavor of health. Sometimes bitter at first, yes, but rich and rewarding once you adjust your expectations and truly commit. So next time you grimace over kale or blanch at the thought of no sugar, remember—it’s not about instant taste. It’s about training your mind and body for a delight that lasts a lifetime. Keep pushing. The taste of real health is waiting on the other side of your discomfort. "Be present. Be incredible.

3955 Put Down Your Mask 01/27/2026

3955 Put Down Your Mask It’s easy to hide behind a mask — the carefully crafted image of who you think you should be or what you don’t want anyone to see. Behind this disguise, you might feel safer, less vulnerable. But you cannot move forward or live the life you were meant to live with God’s divine purpose in mind if you’re trapped behind that mask. So, put down your mask. Please put down your mask. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Be bold enough to show up with your flaws, your imperfections, your raw and real self. You don’t have to be perfect to create a beautiful life. Perfection is a mirage that keeps you stuck. Real progress comes when you shed the fear of judgment and embrace your authentic story. Put down your mask. Be honest with yourself and in your view of life. Stop wrestling your reality into something it’s not. Your circumstances — hard as they may be — don’t define your worth or your destiny. You are not your struggles, your failures, or your fears. Acknowledge them as part of your path without letting them box you in. The K.I.S.S. ~ Put down your mask! Be compassionate with yourself. You will stumble. You will make mistakes. That’s part of being human. Grant yourself the grace you easily offer to others. Don’t hold yourself to impossible standards. Growth requires patience, and forgiveness fuels resilience. Be you. Not a version edited for approval or acceptance, but the real you — imperfect, evolving, courageous. Allow yourself to become who you’re meant to be, step by step, day by day. “One step at a time leads to miles of greatness.” ~ Kristianne Wargo So put down your mask. Take that step. Live your truth. The life waiting for you on the other side is far richer than any façade could ever be. Put Down Your Mask by Kristianne Wargo Behind the glass of polished grace, A shadow hides, a quiet place. But masks, no matter how they shine, Can never mirror your true spine. You’ve held them up to shield the pain, To hide the loss, to numb the strain. But here’s the truth you need to hear— The light inside grows strong and clear. So shed the weight of perfect guise, Let honesty unbind your eyes. Your scars, your doubts, your fragile parts, Are just the maps to your brave heart. Be bold enough to stand, unmasked, To speak your truth, to own what’s past. Compassion’s not just for the world— Gift it yourself, let grace unfurl. Step by step, the journey’s made, Not by rushing, nor by shade. One foot forward, small and sure, Leads to a life that’s rich and pure. So put down your hard, guarded face, And live in freedom, love, and grace. For who you are, becoming true, The world is waiting just for you. "Be present. Be incredible.

3954 How Do You Shift In Real Time? 01/26/2026

3954 How Do You Shift In Real Time? Life isn’t a straight path. It’s a wild mix of flavors, textures, highs, lows, wins, and setbacks. You grind to reach certain milestones, but just when you think you’ve arrived, reality reminds you there’s more hustle, more growth, more shifting to do. So how do you shift in real time when life throws you curveballs? Are you the kind of person who acts like you’ve already done the hard work—like you’ve ticked the box—only to wash your hands of responsibility? Then you lean back, waiting for the next step to come to you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Or maybe you’re the type that challenges yourself to digest every lesson learned and push further no matter what. Here’s the hard truth: nobody completely arrives. Not until the very end. Those who think they’ve checked all the boxes often get stuck. They lose sight of the fact that shifting—changing—evolving on the fly is a constant. They cling to the illusion of “being done” and miss the point entirely. So if arrival isn’t the goal, what is? How do you stay flexible and shift in real time? The K.I.S.S. ~ Start your day happy! Here are three gritty realities to lean into: 1. Own Your Present Without Escaping Into the Past or Future You can’t shift effectively if you’re trapped by what’s already happened or distracted by what might come next. The moment demands your full attention. That means facing your current challenges head-on, accepting what’s there without blame or wishful thinking. Pretend you’re on a battlefield. Your ability to see what’s actually happening, right now—not what you hope or fear—will determine your next move. 2. Learn Fast, Then Lean Into Action Absorbing lessons without applying them is just mental busywork. Shifting means quick processing followed by decisive steps—even imperfect ones. Don’t wait for all the answers or a perfect plan. Theory without action is a dead end. 3. Keep Your Identity Fluid—But Grounded Know who you are, but don’t get rigid about it. Holding onto a fixed self-image blocks growth and blinds you to the signals life sends. Instead of pretending you’ve arrived, be honest about who you are and who you are becoming; where you are and where you want to go. Let's play Monday Morning Quarterback - Mama's Sports Center is in the house. Take, for example, the four NFL teams vying for a chance to play for the Super Bowl. If you watched the Broncos and the Patriots, you would have seen how the weather went from blue, sunny skies to a wintery mix of white snow with winds that made your eyes water. The Broncos did not figure out a way to shift in real time. However, the Patriots found a way to keep their defense effective, so they didn't have to worry about scoring another goal; it was more about holding onto the points they had and keeping the Broncos stuck way back in their own field position. If you believe life is about becoming, your daily shifts become part of a legacy, not just survival. You’re upsetting the autopilot of complacency. Imagine if you stopped trying so hard to arrive or prove you made it. What if you simply became—trusting the process, embracing the shifts, adjusting in real time? How would that change how you show up daily? How differently would you see your world if you dropped the illusion of completeness? The truth is, real life demands adaptability. It demands awareness. It demands resilience. Those who master real-time shift don’t waste time pretending they’ve finished their journey—they lean into what’s next, eyes wide open. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, you’re not aiming to be a finished product. You’re crafting a living legacy. So stop acting as if you’ve arrived. Show up raw, real, and ready to shift—because that’s what keeps you moving forward, no matter what storm you must weather. "Be present. Be incredible.

3953 No More Words 01/25/2026

3953 No More Words Have you ever paused to consider how God truly wants you to show up each day? It’s easy to walk into church on Sunday with a smile and a heart full of joy—or at least a glimpse of it. But ask yourself: how genuine is that moment? Is it real and life-giving? Or is it just a performance, a mask worn for the crowd, for appearances? God doesn’t need the mask. He sees behind it. He knows the truth that we often try to hide, even from ourselves. No more words. Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 5, in the Beatitudes—a blueprint for living “God’s way.” It’s a call to something deeper than words or surface-level faith. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Matthew 5:1-12 (NIV) 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Each blessing challenges us to live beyond the façade. We’re not just called to show up in church and give lip service. We’re called to be salt and light in the world. Salt preserves and flavors; light pushes back darkness and reveals the path. Jesus said in Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV) 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. This is a disruptive invitation—to act with radical honesty, kindness, and purpose that cannot be ignored. The K.I.S.S. ~ No more words! No more words. That’s your challenge. It’s not about endless prayers spoken without action, or hollow promises whispered in quiet moments. It’s about doing. It's about living out your faith in a way that’s unquestionable. It’s time to toss the mask aside and live as Jesus did: with authenticity, courage, and love that demands attention. I want to encourage your heart today—take A.I.M.: Action Ignites Motivation. When you act on what God calls you to do, your motivation isn’t the hard part; it’s the result. Actions fuel faith and fire up your spirit. Who doesn’t need that spark to keep going, especially when the world drags us down or doubts creep in? Let this be your daily commitment: no more words, no more pretending. Show up real, show up bold, show up as the salt and light that God made you to be. When you do, you don’t just change your own life—you change the world around you. You get to impact the world that you touch, and that’s exactly what God desires. So today, put down the mask. Speak less—live more. Let your actions tell the story that words never could.

3952 Are You Chasing the Wrong Part of the Heart? 01/24/2026

3952 Are You Chasing the Wrong Part of the Heart? Marriage. A word that conjures images of bliss, partnership, and forever—but also confusion, frustration, and unexpected challenges. When two people say, “I do,” it isn’t just a promise to love; it’s an entry into a complicated dance of needs, expectations, and realities. And somewhere along the way, you might find yourself wondering: Are you chasing the wrong part of the heart? Let’s be real—too many people step into marriage thinking it’s all about them. They want their partner’s role to serve their needs, validate their feelings, and eliminate inconveniences. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Spoiler alert: That kind of mindset is a shortcut to loneliness, not connection. So if marriage isn’t about one person’s selfish fulfillment, what is it really about? You know what it's about, but let me remind you. It’s about two imperfect people coming together to choose each other every day, showing up with humility, effort, forgiving quickly, and a willingness to grow—not for themselves alone but for the we they’ve created. If you keep buying into the myth that marriage is about getting what you want, at some point you’ll hit a wall. That wall usually comes calling when the glow of the honeymoon phase fades, and life’s responsibilities—work stress, kids, bills—all pile on. That’s when you need a reality check: What part of the heart are you really chasing? Are you after validation, control, convenience, or genuine connection? Identifying that is where the root of your troubles begins. Please note: if you are chasing the right part, then be willing to grow deeper in your marriage. In marriage, you must learn to course-correct to go deeper. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to course-correct to go deeper! So, how do you course-correct before you lose your way? Here are three non-negotiable moves every spouse must make to avoid chasing the wrong part of your spouse's heart. CAUTION: This is for people who are of sound mind, where abuse does not exist. 1. Quit Treating Your Spouse Like a Servant Being married doesn’t mean you get a personal assistant for life's hard parts. If your love language sounds like “You owe me,” chances are you’re fueling resentment, not intimacy. Shift your focus from what you want to what you can give. Serve first, love second. It’s not poetic fluff—it’s the foundation of lasting respect, respect that is earned. 2. Make Vulnerability Your Strength, Not Weakness Stop hiding behind silence or defensiveness. Real connection demands you risk showing your cracks, your flaws. When you lead with openness instead of blame or withdrawal, you invite your spouse into your true, whole heart. That invitation alone can thaw the coldest distance. 3. Remember: It’s “We,” Not “Me” Married life is a joint venture with shared wins and losses. That means your happiness isn’t about extracting value from your partner—it’s about building something neither of you could achieve alone. This mindset shift rewires how you communicate, argue, and celebrate every victory, both big and small. Life is an adventure, so share it together! But there is still a lingering question: Where’s the hope in your marriage? In marriage, hope lives in the rejection of entitlement and the acceptance of collaboration. Hope is found in the daily choice to show up, listen deeply, and fight for each other instead of against each other. You are on the same team! It’s not glamorous; it’s gritty and often tedious—but it’s real, and it’s powerful. If you’re feeling lost or stuck, don’t panic. Marriage is messy; growth is painful. But chasing the right part of the heart—the part that wants partnership, not possession—means your story isn’t over yet. It’s just getting real. "Be present. Be incredible.

3951 Prepare the Way 01/23/2026

3951 Prepare the Way When your children are little, parenting feels all-consuming. Overwhelm doesn't even seem like a fitting word, yet you’re hands-on from feeding to teaching to fixing. Every day is full of immediate needs, constant crisis management, and unconditional love sprinkled throughout. It’s easy to believe that how you prepare the way means just getting them through those early years. But then, they grow. They move into adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond—and suddenly the kind of parenting required shifts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The challenges become less about diapers and homework, and more about identity, independence, big life choices, and emotional resilience. Yet the tricky part is that your responsibility doesn’t pause; it evolves. The last thing you want is to be caught off guard when the next stage hits. Being prepared means adapting your mindset and skills before your kids need you to. The way you parent teenagers or young adults isn’t the same way you parent toddlers—and that’s exactly the point. Preparing the way is a lifelong commitment—not just to raise kids, but to grow with them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prepare the way! Think about how you have parented your kids in the past. Have you made changes along the way as they go through their stages of life? Think back to a situation where you wished you had responded differently. Maybe it was when you were at the store, the movies, or church. Consider the environment and how you could have responded differently in: What you said The tone of voice used Discipline used, or lack thereof How it ended We can be so quick to try and put out a fire for hundreds of reasons. But what matters is how you prepare the way for them to learn the lesson. This isn't about your ego or how good a parent you are; it must be in the child's best interest. And yes, that means your response in how you prepare the way will differ for each child. One-size does not fit all! Are you exhausted just thinking about it? Well, that means you care!! So give yourself a high-five!! Don't beat yourself up over what you think you did wrong. Use your reflection to gain a deeper understanding of where you are and where your child needs you to grow. Here are the three ways you grow alongside your kids—no matter their age: 1. Stay Curious and Keep Learning Together Your kids don’t stop growing—and neither should you. When you embrace curiosity instead of trying to have all the answers, you set a powerful example. Read that book, learn that new skill, or dig into what fascinates them. This isn’t about pretending to be cool or chasing trends; it’s about genuinely investing in the things your child cares about. Doing this together levels up your connection and shows that growth never stops. It sends the loud message that learning is a lifelong adventure, not a checklist. 2. Adapt Your Role as Their Needs Shift When kids are young, parents are fixers, teachers, sheriffs. But as they grow, your job shifts from controller to coach, from manager to mentor. This requires self-awareness and humility because the way you lead and support needs recalibration. Recognize when to step back, when to step in, and when to cheer on quietly from the sidelines. Your willingness to evolve moves your relationship beyond authority-based parenting into partnership and mutual respect. 3. Model Emotional Honesty and Resilience Growth isn’t linear. Life throws curveballs, and the way forward isn’t always clear. Let your kids see you wrestle with your own challenges, express authentic emotions, and bounce back. Showing how you handle setbacks teaches a crucial lesson: strength isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence. Letting go of the “super-parent” act and embracing real humanity actually empowers your kids to do the same. If you look at Indiana University and how they won the College National Championship, you would see that their quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, wasn't raised with the best of everything. Instead, his mom and I'm sure his dad, taught him how to do his best in whatever circumstances he found himself in. He wasn't recruited by a top 10 football program. In fact, he was third string with more failures on the field than successes. That doesn't work well for a hopeful NFL quarterback. But Mendoza's mom did everything she could to the best of her ability, even with her diagnosis of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). When her children were young, they didn't know what mommy had been fighting as they were growing up. Just from a few things I've read since all the hype from her son's success on the field, Mendoza's mom can teach us all a few things: be who you are becoming, love more, and be present. Parenting doesn’t stop when your kids hit milestones or chase their own dreams. The “way” you’re preparing is never finished—it’s a living, breathing path you pave together. Grow with them, adapt, and show up honestly. That’s the living legacy your kids will remember. "Be present. Be incredible.

3950 Choose What You Carry Forward 01/22/2026

3950 Choose What You Carry Forward So 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. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . 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!

3949 Lean Into Leverage 01/21/2026

3949 Lean Into Leverage If you have a life where everything is perfectly aligned—ideal schedule, boundless energy, and endless resources—great. This isn’t for you. But for the rest of us? Especially when it comes to healthy living, the reality is messier, more complicated, and rarely perfect. So, instead of getting caught up in the magnitude of all the things 'health,' maybe it's all about how you lean into leverage. And not the leverage you are probably thinking of. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . That’s why chasing some ideal “health” picture rarely lasts. Instead of drowning in the overwhelming list of habits, foods, workouts, and wellness trends, what if we shifted focus? What if thriving, really thriving, was less about perfection and more about leverage—leveraging exactly where you are and what you already have? Think about that word: leverage. It’s about maximizing impact with the resources at hand. Not waiting for the “right time” or “perfect conditions.” It’s pulling strength from your current situation, your season of life, and making it work for you. If you’re one of those who pick a word, feel free to share it with me at . Let’s keep this real, grounded, and actionable—create a system for the season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create a system for the season! Because healthy living isn’t about some cookie-cutter diet or a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s about creating a system—a personal, flexible system that fits your unique season right now. Without that, you’re just fighting an uphill battle that guarantees burnout and frustration. So what are three practical moves anyone can make to build a system that works in their season? Take Stock of Your Current Resources: What time do you realistically have? What food options are accessible? What movement feels good? Not what “should” be there, but what’s real. This honest inventory becomes your leverage foundation. Set Micro Goals That Fit Your Capacity: Forget giant leaps. Focus on small wins—a 10-minute walk, adding water before coffee, swapping one snack for fruit. These are steps that add up without derailing your life. Create Habits That Align With Your Energy and Schedule: If mornings are rushed, maybe evening is your movement time. If cooking feels impossible, consider prepping simple, nutritious meals on a weekend. Systems are flexible, not rigid. Remember, the path to well-being isn’t a sprint; it’s a steady climb. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo If your season feels complicated—career shifts, parenting chaos, health setbacks—that’s all the more reason to lean into leverage. Use what you have where you are. Don’t throw in the towel just because the terrain is rough. Build your system for the season. Because that’s where real progress lives, and it sticks. "Be present.
