3744 How to Turn Doubt into Your Secret Weapon
Doubt is the silent killer of dreams—it sneaks in, freezes your progress, and whispers that you’re not enough. Every ambitious person faces it, but most let it derail their path to success. Here’s the brutal truth: if you don’t learn how to turn doubt into your secret weapon, it will keep robbing you of your potential. Doubt creeps in—subtle, sneaky, and relentless. Every ambitious person faces it. The crushing question: “Am I really cut out for this?” It shows up when the stakes rise, when your goals feel just out of reach, or when you stare at a blank page wondering if you have what it takes. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Left unchecked, doubt stalls your progress, freezes your momentum, and buries potential. But here’s the truth: doubt doesn’t have to be your enemy. It can become your secret weapon. Turning The Tables on Doubt The difference between those who quit and those who win isn’t a lack of doubt. It’s how they handle it. Most people treat doubt like a warning siren meant to stop them. What if you flipped the script? What if doubt is actually data? A signal that points to what you need to learn, refine, or address—not a verdict on your worth or ability. How would that elevate your direction? Because that is the key. If you run into a dead end, you have to find a detour. So, why not create one? Create your detour from doubt! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your detour from doubt! Now, you've got your engines running. You can look beyond what was holding you back. No more using doubts as your excuse to not move forward or take that next step. Be bold and create your now! The detour is yours to take! Here are 3 game-changing ways to reframe doubt as your ally: 1. Separate Feelings from Facts: Treat Doubt Like Data, Not Drama Your brain is wired to trigger emotional alarms when uncertain, stretched, or stressed. That nervous pit in your stomach? That racing mind telling you you’re not ready? That’s called fear, not fact. Identify: “What do I know for sure?” versus “What am I imagining?” Example: You doubt your sales skills. Instead of surrendering to panic, list the actual data points. How many calls have you made? How many positive responses? Where exactly did the breakdown happen? This turns vague anxiety into concrete feedback. Remember: Feelings lie. Facts don’t. 2. Use Doubt as a Compass, Not a Cage Doubt signals where you’re pushing boundaries. It lights up the edges of your comfort zone—the exact place where growth lives. Instead of trying to erase doubt, ask: “What is this doubt telling me I need to learn or improve?” Build a habit of reflection: Write down your doubts. Identify what information or skills would minimize uncertainty. Create micro-goals that chip away at the unknown. This mindset keeps doubt as a motivating compass, pointing you toward the next smart action instead of freezing you in place. 3. Re-anchor Motivation in Purpose, Not Perfection Doubt thrives when you tether your value to results or flawless execution. Instead, anchor yourself in why you started. Your purpose is the fuel that powers you through the fog of doubt. When doubt whispers “You can’t,” reply: “I will because this matters more than fear.” Repeat this like a mantra when hesitation creeps in. Keeping your eyes on the transformation you want to create—for yourself and others—keeps doubt from paralyzing. It becomes background noise to the louder call of your mission. The Bottom Line: Use Doubt to Drive You Forward Your doubts aren’t roadblocks—they’re signposts. They highlight what’s unknown, what you need to master, and how deeply you care. By learning to separate emotion from evidence, using doubt as a compass, and fueling yourself with purpose, you transform doubt from a deterrent into a weapon of progress. Don’t let doubt slow down your dreams. Keep what you don’t know right in front of you—use it to conquer what you were created to do. You’ve got clarity. Let your doubt sharpen your edge, not dull your will. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3743 The One Who Trusts in the Lord
06/29/2025
3743 The One Who Trusts in the Lord
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything. Sometimes life looks like a tangled knot—so twisted and confusing you can’t tell front from back. You’re walking through a season where everything feels upside down: plans fall apart, circumstances feel out of control, and fear tries to sneak in. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . But if there’s one thing Jeremiah 17:7-8 teaches us, it’s this: When you trust God, you’re planted deeply, rooted firmly, and unshakeable—even when the world feels like it’s falling apart. “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV) Trust Means Walking by Faith, Not by Sight Paul’s reminder in 2 Corinthians 5:7 couldn’t be clearer: “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” When the path ahead looks blurry, and your natural instincts scream “run” or “give up,” walking by faith means you choose to believe the unseen promises of God over your confusing circumstances. It’s choosing to say, “God, I don’t have the answers today, but I do know You are good. I do know You are faithful.” That kind of faith anchors your soul like a tree by the water, refusing to be swayed by drought, storm, or scorching heat. God Is Unchanging, Steady, and Faithful The world shifts—the job changes, relationships strain, health falters—but God remains the same: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) Your Father’s character is your firm foundation. When your surroundings feel like quicksand, His faithfulness is the solid ground beneath your feet. The psalmist confidently declares: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) Even when you don’t see the way forward clearly, He is leading you gently and purposefully. The K.I.S.S. ~ The one who trusts in the Lord! What Happens When You Trust God? Your roots grow deeper. Like the tree Jeremiah talks about, your foundation grows strong by drawing life-sustaining nourishment from God’s presence (John 15:5). You bear fruit even in drought. Your faith produces peace, joy, and strength that defy circumstances (Galatians 5:22-23). Fear loses its grip. Trust in God pushes back anxiety because you know He’s in control (Isaiah 41:10). You live with hope and endurance. You keep moving forward, confident that God is working all things for your good (Romans 8:28). Your Next Move: Trust, Take One Step, Repeat Faith isn’t a one-time leap; it’s a daily decision. Start your day declaring: “I trust You, God, even when I can’t see the full picture.” Lean into prayer, Scripture, and the community of believers. Surround yourself with reminders of His goodness. You may not know tomorrow’s route, but you do know the Guide who never leaves your side. Final Thought When the season has you spinning, remember Jeremiah’s words: “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” There is blessing, strength, and fruitfulness on the other side of trust. Root yourself deeply in Him. Walk by faith. God will carry you through the storm that seems impossible to survive. Nothing is impossible! "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.

3742 When Love Makes You Feel Capable, Not Crazy
06/28/2025
3742 When Love Makes You Feel Capable, Not Crazy
Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way. But all too often, the daily grind, the chaos of schedules, and the relentless overwhelm shift your marriage from a source of strength to a pressure cooker of frustration. Instead of feeling like a teammate, you may start to feel misunderstood and undervalued. It doesn't have to be this way—when love makes you feel capable, not crazy. That's when the entire dynamic changes. You move from surviving the chaos to thriving together, building a solid foundation that can handle anything. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The Invisible Drift: From Connection to Disconnection In the whirlwind of work deadlines, parenting duties, and endless to-dos, it’s easy to lose sight of why you fell in love in the first place. The very things that should unite you—a shared vision, mutual respect, and emotional safety—get buried under layers of exhaustion and distraction. When you aren’t feeling seen in your true capability, small irritations become criticisms, and misunderstandings spiral into conflicts. Instead of a partner, you feel like a problem to be managed or worse, a source of stress. The downward spiral begins. You can stop the downward spiral and change your direction when you live a different story. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live a different story in your marriage! Think about it. What if you could change the narrative? What if your marriage could be the place where you show up powerful, understood, and energized—even amidst the chaos? 3 Ways to Feel Capable in Your Marriage—Even When Life Is Crazy 1. Communicate Your Needs Clearly and Calmly Being seen as capable means your spouse recognizes and values the unique strengths and challenges you bring. This starts with clear communication—not just about what you need, but how you want to be supported. Instead of venting in frustration or shutting down, take a moment to express your needs calmly and specifically: “I’m feeling overwhelmed with the schedule this week. Could we look at the calendar together to balance things out?” “When you ask if I’m okay, it really helps me feel supported.” This kind of communication invites partnership rather than blame, building trust and understanding over time. 2. Create Small Rituals That Reconnect Chaos makes connection easy to lose—but it’s also easy to reclaim. Simple, consistent habits can remind you and your spouse why you’re better together: A 5-minute check-in before bed to share highs and lows A shared coffee or walk where the world’s distractions fade away Sending a quick text during the day to show you’re thinking of each other These small moments add up, reminding both of you that you’re a team, capable of navigating the hard stuff together. 3. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection Feeling capable isn’t about getting everything right—it’s about knowing you’re doing your best, and that it’s enough. Celebrate each other’s efforts instead of pointing out shortcomings, especially when life feels messy: “I really appreciate how you handled the kids’ schedules this week, that took a load off my mind.” “Thanks for being patient when I was stressed out; it made a huge difference.” This shifts the lens from frustration to appreciation, boosting confidence, connection, and resilience. Reclaiming Your Marriage’s Power You deserve a marriage where you feel capable, loved, and understood. It starts by breaking the cycle of being seen as “crazy” or overwhelmed and stepping into the strengths you bring as a partner. By communicating clearly, reconnecting intentionally, and celebrating progress, you can turn the chaos into a catalyst for deeper love and unshakable partnership. "Be present. Be incredible.

3741 No More Boredom Battles
06/27/2025
3741 No More Boredom Battles
Mom and Dad, let’s be real—summer can feel like a never-ending battlefield. You hear it countless times: “I’m bored!”—as if boredom is some mysterious monster your kids are fighting every single day. No more boredom battles. But here’s the twist: many kids don’t truly know what boredom means these days. With screens and tech gadgets vying for their attention 24/7, boredom often becomes a code word for “I want someone else to entertain me.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Technology’s a double-edged sword. We all carry it, we all have to deal with it. Yes, it’s opened incredible doors for learning, creativity, and connection—but it’s also tied children constantly to screens, making the challenge of engaging them off-screen all the tougher. So, how do you raise kids who roam with dirty hands, messy faces, and feet that take them on real-world adventures? How do you flip the script so boredom becomes a trigger for curiosity, movement, and growth—not complaints and screen-time meltdowns? Your reaction and words that you use when the screaming of "I'm bored" echoes through the house, will either derail you as a parent, or propel you to the top of the mountain—but you have to be willing to take a chance on what you know works for your child. Cover your ears and engage your hands. That's where your heart meets your child's curiosity. The K.I.S.S. ~ Cover your ears and engage your hands! Any high-pitch whine can have you running with the dogs. When you ignore the fuss of "I'm bored," that opens up the door for more. More fun. More experiences. More memories. Here are 3 battle-tested strategies to win the “boredom” war this summer—strategies that don’t involve new toys, expensive camps, or endless handing over your phone. 1. Invent Adventures Together Give your kids the gift of imagination. Sit down and co-create “mission days” where you’re all explorers, scientists, or nature detectives. Set challenges like: Backyard Safari: Hunt for bugs, leaves, and rocks. Who can find the weirdest insect? DIY Obstacle Course: Use cushions, ropes, and chalk to create a course that tests agility and creativity. Treasure Hunts: Write little riddles and clues leading them around the house or park. When kids are part of the plan, they move from passive “boredom victims” to active participants in the fun. Plus, peeling dirt from under fingernails beats any screen glow. 2. Create with What’s Around You Forget fancy kits or tech toys. Grab art supplies, recyclables, sticks, mud, or kitchen ingredients and make a mess. Paint rocks to decorate the garden, build forts, or whip up mud pies. These hands-on projects engage their senses and develop fine motor skills—not to mention ignite their creativity. You don’t need Pinterest-perfect results. Kids crave real experiences, the ones where they can get dirty, experiment, and own what they make—even if it’s messy or imperfect. 3. Turn Screen Time Into Stepping Stones Cutting off tech altogether is unrealistic—and not even necessary. Instead, use tech as a springboard. Let your child watch a nature documentary, then head outside to find the animals or plants featured in it. Or use a simple app to stargaze, then go outside at night to catch constellations. By connecting digital content to real-world action, you empower your child to use technology, not be used by it. You Are the Ultimate Distraction Remember: as a parent, you are the best distraction from boredom. Don’t buy into the trap that your kids’ “I’m bored” moments mean you have to shell out more money or let screens win the day. Instead, create your own adventures with your children. So, this summer, toss out the boredom scripts your kids throw at you. Pick up your dusty shoes, roll up your sleeves, and join their messy, joyous, adventurous world. Dirty hands, wild laughter, and tired feet? That’s parenting summer style—with no screams of “I’m bored” in sight. Go and create your now with your children; that's where memories are made.

3740 You are Worth the Fight!

3740 You are Worth the Fight!
Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way. Your to-do list is screaming, expectations are piling, your energy tanks are empty, and your brain keeps finding every excuse to wait. You’re not alone. Every single person who’s ever moved mountains has felt this exact heaviness. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . But let me drop this reality bomb: waiting for “perfect focus” is the biggest trap your dreams want you to avoid. Focus isn’t a switch you flip. It’s a muscle you build—one tiny choice at a time. The difference between the dreamers stuck circling “one day” and the ones crushing their goals isn’t that the latter have clearer skies or fewer distractions. It’s that they refuse to let their obstacles be their story’s ending. They start messy, imperfect, scared as all get out — and they do it anyway. What keeps you frozen? Fear of failing? Remember: nobody remembers your mistakes; they only admire your comeback. Overwhelm? Break it down. One step. One minute. One word. Guilt or pressure? Screw the shoulds. Your mission is your rocket fuel. Lack of time? Build your fortress of focus around the minutes you do have — not the hours you wish for. Here’s your permission slip: You don’t need a grand, flawless plan. Just a bold, stubborn heart that says, “I’m worth the fight.” The K.I.S.S. ~ You are worth the fight! Dreams aren’t just for the lucky or the superhuman—they’re for the brave enough to start before feeling ready. So, right now? Make a tiny promise: Write down one clear goal in a sentence. Close your eyes and picture yourself already winning. Take one imperfect action today—no matter how small. Then, tomorrow, do it again. Rinse and repeat. Each step feeds your focus muscle. Each choice pushes back the noise. And slowly, that flicker of fire becomes an unstoppable blaze. You’re not stuck. You’re in the struggle necessary to become that bold, focused person your dream is calling you to be. Now, stand up. Shake off the doubt. Get fierce. The world is waiting for you to show up—not perfect, but persistent. Because here’s the real secret: Your dream doesn’t want you to give up. It needs you to get going. "Be present. Be incredible.

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
06/25/2025
3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG deal in your routine — those few non-negotiable pillars that, when prioritized consistently, build your healthy habits and fuel your best life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Why Less is More in Healthy Living Trying to do “all the things” can make you do nothing well. You get trapped in overwhelm. Your brain freezes under the weight of decisions and to-dos, and you eventually throw in the towel. Health is not a math problem with infinite variables; it’s a practice of consistently showing up for yourself on the essentials that matter most. Once you zero in on those, the rest falls into place naturally. So, What Needs to Be a BIG Deal Every Day? Ask yourself: What three things in a healthy lifestyle deserve your top priority? Here’s the kicker — the answer isn’t the same for everyone. It’s unique to you, your body, your goals, and your life circumstances. But here’s how you can find your BIG deals: 1. Identify What Energizes You — Not Drains You Notice which habits leave you feeling alive, strong, and clear-headed versus which ones feel exhausting or joyless. Your big deals should fuel your energy, not deplete it. Is movement energizing? Is a morning ritual that grounds you non-negotiable? Put those front and center. 2. Pinpoint What Prevents You from Thriving What are the habits or neglects that consistently disrupt your well-being? Maybe it’s poor sleep, skipping meals, or chronic stress. These areas require your urgent attention because when they slide, everything else suffers. 3. Choose Consistency Over Perfection The BIG deal habits don’t have to be grand gestures. Small, daily actions repeated over time shape your health’s trajectory. What few actions are manageable to do every day and still move the needle toward your best self? The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! The Three Pillars That Commonly Make the Cut While your unique BIG deals vary, these three pillars often emerge as foundational to a healthy lifestyle: 1. Movement That Feels Good Find some form of daily movement — walking, stretching, dancing, or strength work — that you actually enjoy. Movement isn’t punishment; it’s a celebration of what your body can do and a key to mental clarity. 2. Mindful Nourishment Focus on foods and meals that nourish and satisfy you, not just on restrictions. Think quality over calorie counting. Eating mindfully helps you build a positive relationship with food that supports sustained health. 3. Restorative Rest Sleep may just be the most underrated health habit. Prioritizing quality rest allows your body and mind to recover, boosts immunity, and improves mood. Even small evening rituals can transform your sleep patterns. Your BIG Deal, Your Celebration Healthy living isn’t about grinding through an impossible checklist. It’s about creating space to celebrate who you are — and who you are becoming — from the inside out. When you commit to your unique BIG deals, you free yourself from overwhelm and create momentum toward a life that feels vibrant and intentional. Life is beautiful. Life is precious. Make your health habits a celebration, not a chore. Know what needs to be a BIG deal, and make those the center of your every day. "Be present. Be incredible.

3738 Don't You Dare Dim Your Light
06/24/2025
3738 Don't You Dare Dim Your Light
Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why? Because you deserve better. You deserve more than the hand-me-down ambitions and borrowed dreams that drain your energy and silence your spark. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . So I’m here to say this loud and clear — don’t you dare dim your light. Your light is not a malfunction, a mood, or a momentary flicker. It’s a blaze. You were created to shine bright, for a purpose on purpose. The world doesn’t need another watered-down version of you trying to fit into somebody else’s mold. It demands the real, raw, and relentless you — the “you” who is growing, stretching, and evolving into who you are becoming. Who you are becoming matters just as much as who you’ve been. Too often, we define ourselves by our past, our struggles, or even our current role. But your identity is not static. It’s a dynamic story of growth, learning, and transformation. When you embrace who you are becoming, you open the door for influence and impact that comes from authenticity and fearless evolution. Think about it. The people who move the needle, who change the game, who inspire others — they’re never just selling a product or idea. They’re selling themselves fully realized. They show up as the people they are becoming, not the ones they used to be. And that vulnerability? It’s magnetic. But this takes courage. It takes belief. You have to believe that you are worthy of your dreams, your vision, and your own spotlight — no matter what noise or pressure tries to talk you out of it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't you dare dim your light! And if you didn't know, here’s why you can’t afford to dim your light: Because the world needs your unique influence. There’s no one else with your combination of gifts, experiences, and vision. The impact you’re meant to make depends on you showing up fully. Because no one else can fight your fight. Your journey, your voice, your authenticity — these are your power weapons. If you hide them, your cause loses its fiercest champion. Because selling yourself short steals from your future. Settling for scraps today means missing out on the abundance waiting for you when you step boldly into your purpose. You are not here to be small, quiet, or safe. You are here to disrupt, to lead, to inspire, and to be a living legacy that makes the next generation brighter and braver. So, unless you want to live stuck in the background, tied to everyone else’s calendar and checklist, it’s time to make a decision: Will you dim your light or will you shine through the noise? I’m betting on the latter—because deep inside, you already know the answer. Your next move? Own who you are becoming. Show up boldly. Trust that your light is needed. Make your impact by leading with authenticity, courage, and purpose. Don’t settle. Don’t pause. Don’t hide. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible.

3737 How to Quiet Your Mind
If your brain is a noisy, cluttered mess, you won’t get far. Confusion doesn’t just cloud thinking—it demolishes action. And without action, your goals stay out of reach, buried under a pile of distracting thoughts, doubts, and what-ifs. You must learn how to quiet your mind. Let’s be real. When you don’t know exactly where you’re headed, the noise in your head hijacks your focus. Suddenly, every worry, outside opinion, or shiny distraction screams louder than your ambition. You start chasing the wrong things—or worse, you freeze. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Confusion Challenges Clarity. Clarity Kills Confusion. Imagine driving cross-country with your windshield covered in static. You think you’re moving forward until you suddenly crash into a ditch because you couldn’t see the road. That’s confusion. It’s a fog that distorts your vision so badly you can’t even tell which way is forward. Clarity is the windshield wiper. It cuts through the static. When you get crystal clear on your destination—what you want, why you want it, and what it looks like—the noise shrinks into white noise you can ignore. Why Does Noise Win? Because You're Feeding It. Here’s the kicker: The noise only dominates when you give it space. If you haven’t made the brutal decision about what you want (and what you don’t), your brain defaults to reacting to the loudest voices. Spoiler alert: These are rarely your own. When the goal is vague—“I want to be successful,” “I want to help people,” or “I want to figure it out”—your mind’s thirsty for specifics but only finds confusion. And in that vacuum, distractions rush in like vultures. Stop Trying to Multitask Your Way Out of the Chaos The worst thing you can do is try to shove every thought and idea into your mental hard drive at once. More noise equals less clarity, which equals less forward momentum. Instead, prune ruthlessly. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prune! Choose one clear objective. Define the one transformation you provide or the one problem you solve. That’s your north star. Everything else is background static. How to Silence the Noise? Pinpoint your destination — In one sharp sentence, answer: Who do I serve, what problem do I fix, and what transformation do I deliver? If you can’t say it, you aren’t clear enough. Write it down — Putting your goal on paper (or screen) traps the noise. Look at it daily. Let it be your reminder and your gatekeeper. Create mental boundaries — Block off distraction time. Turn off notifications. Give yourself space to focus on what matters. Reject shiny object syndrome — If it doesn’t align with your clear goal, ignore it—even if it looks like a “great opportunity.” Lean into discomfort — Silence isn’t just quiet sounds. It’s quieting your fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs. They scream the loudest when you try something new. Clarity Accelerates You, Noise Paralyzes You No one ever blasted off toward their dream with a storm of brain noise whipping around them. The leaders who win are those who say NO to confusion and YES to clarity, even when it feels uncomfortable. They make tough calls, set boundaries, and silence the static long enough to move forward fast. So, what’s your move? Are you going to let the noise drown out your potential—or are you going to get ruthless with your clarity, silence the chaos, and go all in? Remember: If you’re not clear on where you’re going, the noise is all you’ll hear. And if that noise is in charge, you’re lost. But when you quiet your mind, you silence the noise—create your now.

3736 Faith Over Fear
06/22/2025
3736 Faith Over Fear
“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6 (KJV) At first glance, this verse is bold, even audacious. It’s a statement packed with strength: when God is by your side, fear of what others think, say, or do loses its grip. Faith over fear. But what does that truly mean outside of Sunday sermons or quiet moments of prayer? What does living with “faith over fear” actually look like day-to-day? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . 1. Fear Is Real — But Faith Is Realer Fear is hardwired into us. The dread of rejection, failure, judgment, or harm can freeze the bravest souls. Fear whispers: "What if they say no? What if I lose? What if I’m not enough?" Psalm 118:6 flips that script. It’s not about ignoring fear but recognizing that something greater stands guard. Faith isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the courage to stand firm because of what you believe. It’s knowing God’s presence is infinitely more powerful than the opinions or actions of mere humans. 2. Faith Shows Up in Bold Decisions Living “faith over fear” means making choices that scare you—but you do them anyway. It could be: Speaking up for what’s right even when it’s unpopular. Launching a business or career move that feels risky. Setting boundaries with people who drain or diminish you. Saying “no” to conformity so you can say “yes” to your calling. Fear wants to keep you stuck in silence and safety. Faith propels you forward, anchored by the promise that God is on your side. 3. Faith Gives Peace Amid Uncertainty In real life, “not fearing man” doesn’t guarantee a smooth path. You will face criticism, misunderstanding, setbacks, and even betrayal. But faith is a shield that guards against the chaos. When you internalize Psalm 118:6, you develop an unshakable peace. You stop overanalyzing every reaction or outcome because your security rests in God’s favor, not human approval. The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith over fear! 4. Faith Transforms Your Identity Fear tells you that your worth depends on the acceptance of others. Faith reminds you whose you are. Living this verse means seeing yourself as loved, supported, and empowered by the Creator. That identity becomes your rock. You’re no longer tossed by every opinion or threat because you stand in the truth of God’s unwavering presence. 5. Faith Inspires Others to Bravery When you choose faith over fear, you become a beacon for those still trapped by fear. Your courage lights a path and invites others to consider that they, too, can live boldly, knowing God is their defender. Psalm 118:6 isn’t just a promise for you; it’s an invitation to others: “Come see what it looks like to fear less and live more.” Walk It Out: Putting Faith Over Fear Start small: Look for moments to choose faith in everyday decisions. Say what needs saying. Take a small risk. Practice prayer or meditation: Remind yourself regularly that God is by your side. Lean into scripture: Let verses like Psalm 118:6 root you in truth when anxiety creeps in. Surround yourself wisely: Engage with people who encourage your faith and celebrate your boldness. Faith Is Your Power Play Psalm 118:6 is a call to courage: The LORD is with you, so why fear what man can do? Living faith over fear is not naive optimism; it’s deliberate strength. It’s the daily choice to step forward with God as your shield, no matter what shakes your world. When you embrace that, fear loses its throne—and faith takes the lead. That’s not just biblical—it’s transformational living. "Be present. Be incredible.

3735 Stop Doing What You Always Want
06/21/2025
3735 Stop Doing What You Always Want
Marriage doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and life certainly doesn’t unfold the way we expect it to. You’re dealt unfair cards, opportunities slip through your fingers, and yet — somehow — you keep insisting on having things your way. But what happened to doing life together as a couple? If you want a marriage that lasts, it’s time for a mindset shift: stop always doing what you want. Think about what you do in your marriage now. How do you make decisions? Who makes those decisions? Are they one-sided, or do both of you share your thoughts and ideas? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Why We Fall Into the “Me-First” Trap It’s natural to want to fulfill your own desires. You are an individual, after all. But marriage is a partnership — a commitment to share your journey, all the ups and downs, with someone else. When you prioritize your own wants without truly including your spouse, you’re eroding that partnership. It’s not about losing your personality or your dreams. It’s about expanding your vision to include your partner’s heart and mind alongside your own. The K.I.S.S. ~ Become couple-centered! How Do You Become Couple-Centered Instead of Self-Centered? Becoming a couple-centered spouse means you actively choose to weave your decisions, desires, and daily life with the perspective of "we” rather than “me.” It’s about respect, communication, and intentionality. Here are three practical moves any spouse can make to ensure they stop doing what they want and start including their spouse in the picture. 1. Check Yourself Before You Act — Practice Intentional Pause Before you make decisions, especially big or impactful ones, pause. Ask yourself: “Would my spouse agree with this?” “How will this affect us?” “Have I asked for their input?” This pause is your gateway to shifting from reactive, self-focused action to thoughtful consideration. It interrupts the autopilot mode of “doing what I want” and opens the door to dialogue, even if just internally at first. 2. Prioritize Open and Honest Communication Couples don’t magically sync up just because they share a house. You have to communicate. This isn’t about endlessly debating or impressing your point of view. It’s about genuinely inviting your spouse to share their thoughts, feelings, and preferences—and then valuing what they say enough to let it influence your decisions. Make it a habit to check in regularly: “What do you think about this?” “How do you feel if we do it this way?” “I want us both to be happy — help me see your side.” When communication moves from “telling” to “listening,” you create space for collaboration. 3. Create Shared Goals and Boundaries Marriage isn’t just about compromises made in the moment — it’s about creating a shared vision for your life together. Sit down and map out your priorities, values, and non-negotiables as a couple. What do you want your relationship to look like in five years? Ten? What are the things you both agree are important? Having these shared goals serves as a compass for decision-making and helps prevent the “me-first” mindset from derailing your journey. You’re not just living alongside each other; you’re building a life with a common purpose. Final Truth: Marriage Means You’re Not Solo Anymore Stop doing what you always want. Start doing what you both want — or at least what you agree on after you listen and compromise. Marriage isn’t about losing yourself; it’s about growing into a “we” that’s stronger, wiser, and more joyful than “me” ever could be. "Be present. Be incredible.

3734 Stop Making Everyone Happy
06/20/2025
3734 Stop Making Everyone Happy
As a parent, it can feel like your entire job is to keep the peace. You want smiling kids, smooth mornings, and less grumbling behind closed doors. After all, isn’t that what a happy family looks like? But here’s the brutal truth: sometimes you have to stop making everyone happy. Because you won’t. Not your kids, not your partner, not even yourself, all the time. And that’s okay. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Why You’re Not Meant to Please Everyone The idea of a perfect family where everyone gets their way is a myth—a nice story we tell ourselves when the chaos settles for a moment. But real life? It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable sometimes. And that’s what raises kids who aren’t just surviving but thriving. What you really want are children who adapt to change, handle conflict with resilience, and realize the world doesn’t bend to their every whim. That means sometimes — many times — someone’s going to be disappointed or upset. That’s not your failure. That’s parenting. You were given the gift to parent; you get to decide how to parent well. The K.I.S.S. ~ Parent well! Parenting well comes with all sorts of challenges. You get many lows with few highs. Or do you? The way you parent well comes from how you show up, filled up with the best intentions. However, I must say that does not give a parent full rein to be a bully parent. This may or may not be you. But please hear me out. You have to be able to look at all sides of the stories you're told, and know the reality of what is happening, not the one you make up in your head. Yes, even parents tell themselves stories to make them feel like they are in the "right" in what they're doing. But if you question that, or someone who loves your children questions that, it is a good indication you should look a little closer at the situation. The main thing here is to know your intentions as a parent and ensure they are in the best interest of the child, not for your convenience. Three Ways to Maintain Peace Without Making Everyone Happy How do you keep a home that feels peaceful without turning into a constant "yes" machine? Here are three practical moves: 1. Set Non-Negotiables With Compassion Make clear what rules and values aren’t up for debate — bedtimes, kindness, respect. Stand firm, but explain why these matter. Kids feel safer when boundaries are consistent. They might grumble, but they appreciate knowing what’s rock solid beneath their feet. Further, your child can say "no." If you teach them that they cannot, you are silencing them, telling them that they are not worthy and do not matter. This is a disservice to anyone's child. A child deserves to be respected, too. 2. Validate Feelings Without Caving When tempers flare or tears come, acknowledge the emotions. “I see you’re upset because you wanted more screen time. That’s frustrating.” Validation doesn’t mean giving in — it means you’re listening. Feeling heard diffuses tension and builds trust, even if the answer stays “no.” Keep in mind, that doesn't mean you become a bully to your child. Be firm with love. And just because your parents did it, doesn't mean you should. Think twice! 3. Model Calm, Not Perfection No parent is a peace-keeping superhero 24/7. When you mess up or lose patience, own it out loud. Show them how to apologize and reset. Ask for forgiveness for what you did. This teaches kids resilience and emotional intelligence far better than any “perfect” family photo ever could. Stop Chasing Universal Happiness — Aim for Harmony Instead Parenting is the hardest job on earth, no doubt. You’ll have days you feel you’re on top of it — and days you want to throw in the towel. Trying to make everyone happy is not sustainable. Living for happiness is the quickest route to burnout. But seeking harmony? Now that’s sustainable. Harmony means balance, understanding, respect, unconditional love, and growth — even when it’s uncomfortable. You don’t need to be everyone’s hero or choreographer of perfect smiles. You need to be a parent who guides with unconditional love, strength, and clarity. That’s how you build a family grounded in peace — not perfection. Your child is not property; they are a human being created in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made. So, parent well! You’ve got clarity. Now it’s time for action. Stop chasing the impossible, stop making everyone happy, and start building harmony that lasts. Your family will share more smiles. "Be present. Be incredible.

3733 Stop Being Mad At Yourself

3733 Stop Being Mad At Yourself
Life doesn’t come with a smooth, predictable path. It’s full of twists, turns, and surprises that rarely match the plans we carefully craft in our heads. You make decisions, speak words, and take action hoping for the best. But when things don’t go your way—you know what happens. Stop being mad at yourself. As you already know, who bears the brunt of the disappointment? Too often... yep, it’s you—the harshest critic in the room. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Why We Turn Anger Inward It’s natural to feel frustrated when life derails your expectations. But turning that frustration into anger at yourself is a dead end. Anger slows you down, boiling over every mistake and extending the sting of things you cannot change. Instead of propelling you forward, it chains you to regret and self-condemnation. Life is rarely fair, and that’s just the raw truth. The Real Way Forward If you want to break free from this cycle, you need to stop being mad at yourself. This doesn’t mean ignoring your mistakes or failing to learn from them—it means refusing to let anger become your default. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and yes, you will make more. But those stumbles never equate to being "not good enough." That’s a damaging myth you must reject now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop being mad at yourself! Focus on What Matters Pause and ask yourself: What truly deserves your energy? When you stand before the mirror, let your presence be calm and purposeful, not harsh or unruly. Your thoughts and words to yourself shape your mindset far more than any external circumstance. Remember: you were made for more. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Choose Your Energy Wisely Every day grants you the choice of where to invest your emotional energy. Holding onto anger toward yourself won’t build success; it only adds weight to your setbacks. Instead, channel your strength into growth, resilience, and self-compassion — who you are and who you are becoming. Get Ready Stop being mad at yourself. You’ll be far more effective, motivated, and yes—radiantly “prettier”—when there’s less mud on your face and in your mind. Life’s challenges will keep coming, but your response will determine the story you tell—and the success you build. Show up for yourself today. You’ve got this. And God's got you! "Be present.

3732 Stop Comparing Yourself

3732 Stop Comparing Yourself
Let’s be brutally real: these days, it’s next to impossible to not scroll through your feed and wish you were somewhere else, someone else, doing what they do. Comparison is a trap. It’s a dark quicksand that pulls you under—sapping your confidence, hijacking your joy, and holding you back from the healthy, fulfilled life you deserve. So here’s your wake-up call: stop comparing yourself. News flash: You are made for more. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Not to undersell yourself or settle for what you “think” you should be worth. Life is precious—a limited resource that demands you show up fully, honor your own journey, and speak your own truth. The soil of your heart deserves nurturing, not weeds of envy and doubt. But what happens when you live in the spirit of comparison? For anyone plugged into social media—Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Pinterest—this spirit doesn’t just knock, it moves in. Every scroll, every double-tap, every pause on someone’s highlight reel seeds a dangerous question: “Why am I not them?” These platforms are engineered to spotlight what you lack. It’s not a glitch; it’s their business model. When you feed on the curated perfection of others, the narrative rewires your brain to focus on your supposed shortcomings. Think about the last time you opened social media with a purpose. Most times, we just scroll—mindlessly, endlessly—feeding the machine that fuels comparison. And suddenly, hope gets replaced by "not enough." Ambition transforms into paralysis. It’s a hard pill, but one you must swallow to move forward. When it comes to healthy living, this poison is even more deadly. If your idea of wellness is modeled entirely on social media gurus, influencers, or viral “miracle” diets, you’re on shaky ground. That’s comparison, plain and simple — and it doesn’t serve your body or your mind. Your health isn’t a one-size-fits-all viral trend. It’s personal, sacred, and deserves your unique commitment. So stop! The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop comparing yourself! Quit watering the weeds of what you don’t have, and start cultivating the garden of who you really are. What you plant and fertilize will grow. Want something different? You have to do something different. That means changing the mental diet you consume every day. It means smashing the comparison cycle and planting seeds of self-trust, action, and authenticity. 3 Actions to Extinguish the Spirit of Comparison and Tune Into Your Heart 1. Practice Social Media Discipline: Own your time, don’t let it own you. Set strict boundaries for social scrolling. Use social platforms with intention—no aimless scrolling allowed. Try scheduling 10 minutes a day max or use apps that block distracting feeds. Remember: what you consume mentally shapes your reality. 2. Create a “Self-Respect Ritual” Daily: This could be journaling three things you actually accomplished that day, affirming your unique strengths, or setting clear, personal goals that aren’t tied to anyone else’s timeline. Make it non-negotiable. This recharges your mindset and weeds out toxic comparison noise. 3. Celebrate Your Own Progress Relentlessly: Comparison kills momentum. Instead, track your wins, no matter how small. Progress is success—even if it looks different from someone else’s. Own your pace. Own your path. Be your own fan, not your own judge. Let me level with you: Comparison isn’t just a habit. It’s a silent addiction to distraction and dissatisfaction. If you want a better life, you have to dig deeper, plant your roots firmly, and stop feeding that hungry, destructive spirit. You’ve got this. Now it’s time to stop comparing yourself, stop looking left and right. Look forward, look inside—and go create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

3731 Stop Missing Your Life

3731 Stop Missing Your Life
We all do it. We rush, we hustle, we plan every minute of every day—always looking backwards or forwards, never fully rooted in the now. Reflecting on where we’ve been, obsessing over where we’re going, while the present moment quietly slips away. Yet, deep down, we know: Being present is what really matters. So stop missing your life. Imagine what your life would look like if you didn't have every second of every day planned? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Would you have more freedom? Would it drive you crazy because every second is not planned? Or do you really not care; you handle what's right in front of you constantly? Today, I want to encourage you to breathe and stop missing your life. Seriously, do something that you haven't done in a while: sit and take in all that is around you. Last night I was cooking out on the grill. The gray skies were moving in as the wind began to pick up. I knew I needed to get the steaks on if dinner was going to be at least halfway decent. You can't have fresh corn on the cob and baked potatoes without some yummy steaks! Well, in the quickness of the minutes, I chose to sit outside and watch the clouds roll in. I enjoyed watching how the smoke moved swiftly from one side of the Kamado Grill to the other. Nothing was more spectacular than experiencing change in the moment. What if you would slow down enough so you could speed up later when needed? The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop missing your life! You don't have to wait for the craziness to dissipate. In fact, if you do, then you'll say goodbye to a day before you said hello. So be brave in a magnificent way. Take a moment to appreciate all the beautiful things around you. Maybe it's sitting poolside or reading a book on the couch. Maybe it's hugging your children just because you can. Maybe it's enjoy a brisk walk in the humid morning. Pause for a moment. Take it all in. Listen to the silence humming beneath the noise. Presence reveals beauty you didn’t see before. Today, instead of missing your life, show up full and ready. This is your moment to shine—not by doing more, but by simply being. Stop missing your life. It’s waiting. "Be present. Be incredible.

3730 Stop Being A Goldfish
06/16/2025
3730 Stop Being A Goldfish
Do you ever feel like your attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish? In a world filled with distractions, it can be challenging to stay focused on what truly matters. But it's time to break free from the cycle of mindless scrolling and endless to-do lists. It's time to stop being a goldfish. Life moves quickly, often leaving us feeling like our attention span is as fleeting as a goldfish's - about 9 seconds. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . With technology pulling us one way and family obligations tugging us another, it's easy to get lost in a sea of distractions. The average human attention span of 8 seconds may not differ much from that of a goldfish, highlighting the need to reassess how we prioritize our focus. While goldfish may seem forgetful creatures, studies show that they possess remarkable memory capabilities. Just as goldfish can recall specific tasks over time, we too can train our minds to prioritize what truly matters and navigate life's maze of distractions. By recognizing the parallels between our attention spans and those of goldfish, we can appreciate the importance of intentional focus and memory in shaping our daily experiences. So, let's break free from the cycle of fleeting attention spans and embrace the power of focused intention in achieving our dreams and goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the power of focused intention! You can consider the bare basics of intentionality by setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), practicing mindfulness, and creating a distraction-free zone to focus. All of these are obvious. But I want you to go a little deeper. 1. Seek Mentorship and Accountability: Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, or a supportive community that can provide guidance, feedback, and accountability on your journey towards achieving your goals. Engaging with individuals who share your values and aspirations can offer new perspectives, motivation, and encouragement, helping you stay intentional and committed to your growth and success. 2. Gratitude and Intentions Rituals: Start and end each day with a gratitude and intentions ritual to set a positive tone and purposeful direction for your day. Expressing gratitude for what you have and setting intentions for what you wish to achieve can shift your mindset towards abundance and clarity, fostering a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in your pursuits. 3. Journaling and Reflection: Incorporate regular journaling and reflection practices into your routine to gain insights into your thoughts, emotions, and progress towards your goals.

3729 Stop Going In The Wrong Direction

3729 Stop Going In The Wrong Direction
In our journey of faith, we are constantly faced with choices that either draw us closer to God or lead us astray. The Bible teaches us to "Do not turn to the right or left; keep your foot from evil" (Proverbs 4:27), reminding us to stay on the path of righteousness and refrain from behaviors that distance us from God's loving presence. Stop going in the wrong direction. To live a life that reflects God's desires for us, we must first identify and resist temptations that lead us to sin. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It's essential to cultivate self-awareness and discernment, recognizing when we are being lured away from God's will. By turning to prayer, Scripture, and seeking wisdom from mentors, we can strengthen our resolve to resist sin and choose righteousness. Living a life that pleases God entails embodying virtues such as love, kindness, compassion, and humility. True happiness, as envisioned by God, is not merely about fleeting pleasures or worldly successes, but about cultivating a heart that reflects His love and grace. It involves placing our trust in Him, surrendering our will to His, and striving to live in accordance with His teachings. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop going in the wrong direction! Practically, embodying God's values involves daily acts of love, generosity, forgiveness, and service to others. It means treating our neighbors with respect, showing compassion to those who are marginalized, and practicing humility in our interactions. By imitating the character of Christ and allowing His Spirit to work in and through us, we can become beacons of light in a world in need of hope and healing. Maybe you are in need of hope and healing. Are you finding yourself being more of a fool and looking back on what God has already forgiven you for? It's all too easy for us to get trapped in where we came from, what happened in the past, and why we didn't do what we should have. But could we have done it differently? Who knows? Well, God knows this. As Paul wrote 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. (Philippians 3:13-14) Are you willing to turn around and go God's way? Stop going in the wrong direction. That's what God wants you to learn. Ask for forgiveness, and press on. Ultimately, aligning your will with God's involves a conscious choice to prioritize your relationship with Him above all else. It requires ongoing commitment, self-reflection, and a willingness to surrender your desires to His higher purpose. As you strive to walk in His ways and live out His values, you can experience the abundant life that He has promised and find true fulfillment in following His path of love and grace. And that, my friend, will have you going in God's direction! "Be present. Be incredible.

3728 Look How Far You've Come

3728 Look How Far You've Come
Marriage is a journey that evolves over time, from the initial spark of dating to the intricate tapestry of navigating careers, raising a family, and weathering life's storms together. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to pause and reflect; take a moment to look how far you've come. Doing life together is better, but it does require a significant amount of work. Even though the work is worth it, you won't know it unless you take time to reflect and look how far you've come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Think back to things that drove you crazy. Yet, as you've matured and grown individually and as a couple, you see what drove you crazy as a little quirk that you now giggle about. Life is too short to fret about all the things. There are definitely things that should and will concern you. But not all the things. Otherwise, you are going to drive yourself crazy for sure. However, you don't have to be like everyone else. You can view your spouse through the lens of unconditional love. That will bring you to the point where you can celebrate how far you've come. The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate how far you've come! If you don't, no one will. In fact, why not do it every year? Imagine what that would do for your relationship and bond together. You could see the good, the bad, and the ugly with a different perspective now that you're on the other side. It might be something that all of us need to try. Here are three ways to celebrate how far you've come as partners and to cherish the blessings amidst the challenges. 1. Reflect on Milestones: Take a trip down memory lane by revisiting significant moments in your relationship. Whether it's your first date, the day you got engaged, or a memorable vacation, reminiscing about these milestones can reignite the spark and remind you of the bond you share. Create a scrapbook, watch old videos, or simply sit down and share your favorite memories with each other. 2. Acknowledge Growth: Marriage is a journey of growth and self-discovery. Reflect on how you have both evolved as individuals and as a couple. Have you overcome challenges together? Have you developed new hobbies or interests? Acknowledge the progress you've made, both individually and as partners, and celebrate the ways in which you have supported each other's growth. 3. Express Gratitude: Take a moment to express gratitude for your partner and the journey you've shared together. Write a heartfelt letter, plan a surprise date night, or simply say "thank you" for the little things they do. Gratitude can deepen your connection and remind you of the blessings in your life, even amidst the chaos of everyday responsibilities. Life is a beautiful journey, and marriage is a testament to the strength of love and commitment. By taking the time to look back and appreciate how far you've come as a couple, you can find renewed joy and appreciation for the remarkable bond you share. Embrace the journey, celebrate the milestones, and cherish the moments that have brought you closer together. "Be present. Be incredible.

3727 Love More Than You Complain

3727 Love More Than You Complain
Raising kids is a party every day. You can do everything right, only to get most of it wrong. Yes, it's that unfair. But what is really unfair is when parents seem to fuss nonstop about anything and everything. Even with a little less exaggeration, love more than you complain. As parents, we should want what's best for our kids, but it can't come at the expense of their self-esteem and confidence. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Our children need to know that their accomplishments and achievements don't outweigh their presence. Who they are matters, not necessarily what they do. Think about it this way: If you were told that your child would be the President of the United States, and they ended up being an electrician, would you treat them differently since they didn't get what was theirs to have? Disappointments from our children come in many shapes and sizes, from their reckless decisions to not winning their games. But why do we get caught up in that? Have you ever thought about what your child wants? Now, yes, age and stage matter. A two-year-old will not know what they like/need like a fourteen-year-old would. However, it's not our job to "force" or strongly encourage them to do one thing over the next. Don't you want what your child wants for them? If that's you, then you gotta love more than you complain. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love more than you complain! And that complaining sounds very different to us than it does to our children. We might think we are encouraging and cheering them on to the next thing. But sometimes, all they hear is, "You gotta get this." Pleasing parents comes at a cost, too. And it's not usually to the parents. The children take it personally and then hide it in their hearts, which either helps them or significantly weighs them down. Therefore, being mindful of how your child responds to your communication is crucial. And if you have more than one child, you need to know that one size does not fit all! 1. Practice Gratitude: Instead of focusing on what your child is not doing or achieving, take time each day to express gratitude for who they are and the unique qualities they possess. Celebrate their individuality and strengths. Tell them you are thankful for them. You are grateful that you get to be their mom or dad. 2. Effective Communication: Instead of resorting to constant complaints or criticisms, open up a dialogue with your child. Ask more questions rather than forcing your ideas down their throats. Listen to their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Understanding their perspective can strengthen your bond and foster a more positive relationship. You get to know who they are and who they are becoming. 3. Celebrate Small Wins: Rather than solely emphasizing big accomplishments or milestones, recognize and celebrate the small victories your child achieves each day. Whether it's completing a homework assignment or showing kindness to a friend, acknowledging their efforts can boost their confidence and self-worth. Notice what they do every day, not just the big stuff along the way. Parenting is a balancing act between guiding your children towards success and nurturing their emotional well-being. By choosing to love more than you complain, you create a foundation of understanding, acceptance, and support that empowers your children to grow into confident, compassionate individuals. Let's remember that our children's worth is not measured by their accomplishments, but by the love and kindness they bring into the world. "Be present. Be incredible.

3726 Stand Out and Soar!
Everyone needs a little encouragement now and then. We can pretend we have it all together, but secretly, we enjoy attending those procrastination parties. So, instead of sabotaging yourself, stand out and soar! You are made for more! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Why settle for less than when you can have now? Think about what you can do in this moment to get you closer to where you want to be. It doesn't have to be an "all in" movement. But it does require action. So take A.I.M.! The K.I.S.S. ~ Stand out and soar! You have the power within you to break free from the chains of doubt and uncertainty. It's time to embrace your true potential and reach new heights. Why settle for mediocrity when you were born for greatness? Every moment presents an opportunity for growth and progress. By taking small, intentional steps towards your goals, you can gradually move closer to the life you envision for yourself. Remember to take A.I.M. - action ignites motivation. Start by taking action, no matter how small. Set your intentions clearly and stay focused on your end goal. Allow that initial action to build momentum and motivate you forward towards the next step. So, stand out from the crowd and let your unique qualities shine. Soar above the limitations and doubts that hold you back. You are capable of achieving incredible things, but it all starts with a decision to step out of your comfort zone and into your greatness.

3725 Maybe You're Supposed to Feel Stuck
Healthy living is a lifestyle, and unfortunately, life doesn't come with a manual. How can you juggle everything and fail at nothing? When seasons keep you stranded and the feelings of unaccomplishment drown out the hope, maybe you're supposed to feel stuck. And not in a manner that holds you back, but one that propels you forward. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . You see, the feeling of being stuck doesn't come from what you don't know. You're stuck because of what you know. You want something that you know you should have and goals to be reached; however, it does not come without a cost. The same goes for healthy living. You know what you need to do. But in the season that you're in, sometimes it's not about what you know, it's about what you don't do. How backwards our life can be when we try and figure out all the nitty-gritty of how we want to live. Then...life happens! You can choose to live in your excuses, or accept where you are so you can move forward. And maybe that's why you're supposed to feel stuck. It might be the kick in the pants to realize you've got what it takes. What's lacking are the actions. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take A.I.M.! What can you do today to mute what doesn't matter, and magnify what does? Here are some more suggestions for taking meaningful and deep actions in your healthy living journey: 1. Cultivate Social Connection: Nurture meaningful relationships and social connections by engaging in activities that foster community, support, and a sense of belonging. Joining a fitness group, attending wellness workshops, volunteering in your community, or participating in group classes can not only enhance your social support network but also provide opportunities for personal growth, connection, and shared experiences that enrich your overall well-being. 2. Practice Mind-Body Techniques: Explore mind-body practices such as yoga, meditation, tai chi, or mindfulness to cultivate awareness, relaxation, and inner balance; the harmony that allows you to be present. These practices can help you tune into your body's signals, reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and foster a deeper connection between your mind, body, and spirit. Incorporating mind-body techniques into your routine can complement your physical health efforts and promote a holistic approach to well-being. 3. Set Intentions and Reflect Regularly: Take time to set meaningful intentions for your health journey and reflect regularly on your progress, challenges, and achievements. Setting intentions clarifies your goals and motivates you to take purposeful actions towards them, while reflection allows you to gain insights, learn from experiences, and adjust your approach as needed. By consciously setting intentions and reflecting on your journey, you can cultivate a sense of purpose, direction, and growth in your pursuit of healthy living. Life does not have to be so complicated and confusing. Maybe you're supposed to feel stuck, so you know that you have what it takes to get you to where you want to go and live your healthy life!

3724 Trust Yourself with the Small Stuff
In the pursuit of success and personal growth, we often fixate on the big goals, the grand achievements, and the significant milestones. We set our sights on lofty aspirations and grandiose dreams, believing that only by conquering the monumental tasks can we truly prove our worth. However, what if your life's success came from how you trust yourself with the small stuff? The small stuff, the seemingly trivial tasks and routine responsibilities that pepper our daily lives, often serve as the building blocks of our character, confidence, and success. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It is in these seemingly mundane moments that we have the opportunity to cultivate self-trust, develop discipline, and lay a strong foundation for greater achievements. When you trust yourself with the small stuff, you demonstrate a belief in your abilities, your judgment, and your commitment to excellence. Whether it's completing household chores, staying on top of emails, or meeting deadlines at work, every small task presents an opportunity to prove to yourself that you are reliable, capable, and trustworthy. The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust yourself with the small stuff! Moreover, mastering the art of handling the small stuff with diligence and attention to detail can have a ripple effect on all areas of your life. By consistently showing up for the little things, you build momentum, cultivate a positive work ethic, and set yourself up for success in larger endeavors. It's the practice of excellence in the small things that breeds confidence and paves the way for monumental achievements. Trusting yourself with the small stuff is not just about completing tasks; it's about developing a mindset of reliability, resilience, and self-assurance. It's about honoring your commitments, respecting your time, and taking pride in the quality of your work, no matter how insignificant it may seem. By instilling a sense of trust in yourself in the everyday moments, you nurture a sense of self-worth, empower yourself to take on greater challenges, and build a reputation as someone who can be relied upon. So, the next time you find yourself faced with a seemingly trivial task or a routine responsibility, remember the power of trusting yourself with the small stuff. Embrace the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities, showcase your commitment to excellence, and lay the groundwork for future success. True confidence and success start by mastering the small tasks with intention, dedication, and a belief in your own abilities. You get to rise to the occasion in your own eyes! Trust yourself with the small stuff, and watch as you soar on wings like eagles. "Be present. Be incredible.

3723 Your Suddenly Is Here
Life can have you going full speed ahead, or come to a screeching halt in just the blink of an eye. But what happens when you have been working hard day after day, month upon month, to years later where your suddenly is here, arriving where you always wanted to be. Life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs that can either propel you forward or halt your progress in an instant. Despite the unpredictable nature of life, there comes a moment when your hard work and persistence pay off, and you find yourself exactly where you've always wanted to be - your "suddenly" has arrived. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . And sometimes, it can feel like it happened overnight. Yet, as you and I know, nothing worth pursuing in the long run is something that happens overnight. Virality is not the answer to your dreams. Dreams and goals change as you grow and gain wisdom; however, that doesn't mean you don't achieve them in a matter of time. You must keep what you want in front of you, regardless of your situation or circumstances. Otherwise, you will always be putting your dreams and goals on hold, and what will come from that? Most likely, nothing you really desired. If you want to take your dreams and goals to the next level, you must keep moving forward. The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep moving forward! And moving forward does not require huge steps that make you feel hesitant or resistant to what might be. Those "might be" moments could actually change your trajectory in your life, opening up doors and opportunities for you to soar. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo What does this make possible? I think about Roland Garros (The French Open) and how Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcarez had to fight themselves more so in their mind and not with their might. They put in the reps and strengthening their serves, but that wasn't what won the match for them. They had to get out of their own heads, their self-doubt that stood in the way. Coco Gauff eluded to the fact during her press conference that she was her biggest doubter. We can be our worst critic. So, how can you silence your doubts and unlock your full potential? Here are three actionable steps to help you stay committed to pursuing your dreams: 1. Set Bite-size Actions: Dedicate time each day to work towards your aspirations, no matter how small the step may seem. Consistent effort compounds over time, leading to significant progress. 2. Visualize Where You're Going: Picture yourself achieving your dreams and immerse yourself in the emotions of that moment. Presence counts! Visualization can enhance motivation and reinforce your commitment to your goals. 3. Seek Support and Accountability: Surround yourself with individuals who believe in your potential and provide encouragement during challenging times. A strong support system can boost your confidence and resilience. Don't settle for what comes easy. Reaching for the stars requires you to stretch more than you could before. You've got what it takes. Go and create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

3722 Give Me Only My Daily Bread

3722 Give Me Only My Daily Bread
"Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God." ~ Proverbs 30:7-9 (NIV) Life can bombard our thoughts and distract us from what matters from God's perspective. When we become consumed by the stuff of the world, we isolate our hearts, leading us away from God. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . When the noise of the world drowns out the whispers of our faith, our hearts can stray far from where they need to be. Busyness can be our greatest distraction even though we mean well. We desire to live out our lives God's way, only to be confronted by the world's way. How do you stay on track? How do you keep from wondering and not getting lost more than when you found God? All good questions, but where are the answers? The K.I.S.S. ~ Give me only my daily bread! Perhaps the humble prayer from Proverbs 30 can serve as a guiding light to help us remain connected not to material possessions, but to the essence and presence of God. Keeping our focus on God requires deliberate thoughts and actions. It demands honesty with ourselves – Are we truly prioritizing our relationship with Him, or has He been relegated to the bottom of our to-do list? There's no judgment here. But if spiritual growth is what you seek, faith must be your compass, guiding you through uncharted waters. "Walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 God yearns for you to draw nearer to Him. Approach Him as you are, without pretense or falsehood – just your authentic self. Allow Him to work within you, transforming your heart as you seek nothing more than your daily sustenance. In this simplicity lies the essence of faith – a daily surrender to God's providence, trusting Him to meet your needs and guide you on your journey. God wants you to draw closer to Him. Come as you are; no fluff or lies, just you! Then, let Him transform your heart from the inside out as He gives you only your daily bread. "Be present. Be incredible.

3721 Stop Waiting To Be Invited

3721 Stop Waiting To Be Invited
Marriage is a two-way street that requires the involvement of both individuals to achieve a strong marriage. However, if you want a strong foundation, stop waiting to be invited. "In marriage, it takes one to start and two to finish." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Not one person can be solely responsible for what happens in the marriage. Both partners need to be involved in order to work out what's better together. Yet, someone has to be the one to take the initiative. It's kind of like a hockey game. You can have all the hockey players on the ice with their sticks and the puck, but until one person hits the puck, the game hasn't started. Your marriage doesn't live on dreams alone. The house with a white picket fence, two kids, and a handsome husband feels great in your fantasy world. But in reality, it takes action to move mountains for your marriage. Take A.I.M.! The K.I.S.S. ~ Take A.I.M.! When you realize that actions speak louder than words, you can shift your marriage overnight. Certainly, it will require consistency in your actions, honesty, plus forgiveness. There are proactive steps you can take. Here are three proactive steps individuals can take to ignite motivation and create a fulfilling marriage: 1. Speak with Actions: Open and honest communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Instead of waiting for the other person to initiate conversations, take the lead in discussing your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. Actively listen to your partner and strive to understand their perspective by asking questions. By fostering a culture of open communication, you can strengthen your bond and resolve conflicts more effectively. 2. Show Appreciation: Expressing gratitude and appreciation for your partner's efforts can go a long way in reinforcing your connection. Don't wait for special occasions to show your love; small gestures of kindness and acknowledgment can make a significant impact on your relationship. Take the initiative to celebrate your partner's achievements and support them through challenges, demonstrating your commitment and care. 3.

3720 What Are You Truly Building?

3720 What Are You Truly Building?
When we think about the future, we often plan for it financially, professionally, or even socially. But how often do you stop to consider what you are truly building when it comes to your family – your living legacy journey? The living legacy you live and leave behind is not just about how many kids you have or the holiday traditions you uphold; it's about the lasting impact your family will have for generations to come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Building a family foundation goes beyond the immediate concerns of parenting styles or family dynamics. Yes, they're essential, but it involves looking at the bigger picture and understanding the living legacy you want to create. So, what are you truly building with your family? Why Designing Your Legacy Matters Life is a precious gift that should be intentionally designed and planned for. From the number of children you have (which there are many questions that come with that) to the values and traditions you instill in them, every decision shapes the living legacy and its impact. By thinking ahead and considering the long-term impact of your choices, you can build a strong foundation that stands the test of time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build your family on purpose! You can always view it from a family planning perspective, but the purpose is much greater than the number. What does it look like to build your family on purpose? Three Ways to Build a Lasting Family Legacy 1. Create Meaningful Connections: Take the time to connect with each family member on a deeper, more meaningful level. Listen to their dreams, fears, and aspirations, and offer unwavering support. Building a strong bond within your family will foster trust, resilience, and a sense of belonging that transcends generations. Just because you are the parent doesn't mean your kids automatically feel your connection and support. You've gotta put yourself out there and show them you care! 2. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing, so be mindful of the values and behaviors you exhibit in front of them. They are your mirror. Show integrity, kindness, and empathy in your actions, and your children will follow suit. By being a positive role model, you set the tone for the type of legacy you want to create. If you are always trying to prove your worth to them, they are not going to see you the way you think they see you. You're going to be "that" kind of parent who is all about themselves. No ego in parenting! See your child, not yourself! 3. Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge the achievements and milestones of each family member, no matter how big or small. Celebrating successes builds confidence, fosters unity, and creates lasting memories that strengthen family bonds. These shared experiences shape the narrative of your family's living legacy, leaving a lasting legacy of love and support. Embracing the Journey of Building Your Family Legacy Building a family legacy is a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and growth. It's not always easy, but the rewards far outweigh the struggles. Embrace the process of designing your legacy with intention, love, and a commitment to nurturing the relationships that matter most. Remember, what you are really building is more than just a family – you are creating a living legacy that will endure for generations to come. Cherish the moments, learn from the setbacks, and celebrate the beauty that emerges from the journey. Your family's living legacy is a reflection of your love, values, and commitment to creating a lasting impact on the world. Start building your family living legacy today! "Be present. Be incredible.

3718 Watch What You Say
Healthy living is a choice you can make every day. Perhaps you have chosen to do so, but your words do not match your actions. Watch what you say! Imagine calling yourself every day and telling yourself what to do. What do you sound like? Would you be empowered about what you need to do for the day? Or would you talk down to yourself, claiming all of the things that have gone wrong lately? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Life is not about the failures, but how you take the lessons learned and apply them to your daily life. Yes, you get to choose how you show up. You get to determine how "healthy" you want to be. You can lean toward being a very health-conscious enthusiast. Or you go a little slower and figure it out along the way. Healthy living is a daily commitment. Your thoughts connect to your actions, which tell your body what healthy looks like. For some, it's sitting on the couch, not doing much but enjoying a few chips and dip. Then you have those who want better than where they are. What do you do to stay inspired? What thoughts are leading your actions because of what you speak? You gotta watch what you say, or it won't be a very good day! The K.I.S.S. ~ Watch what you say! You can't change what you don't recognize! So if you know you are endangering yourself with your words, you have to figure out what is not working to you can change and make your words work for you. 1. Identify Your Trigger Words: Begin by recognizing and acknowledging the words or phrases in your self-talk that do not serve your goals or well-being. These trigger words may include self-critical statements, limiting beliefs, or negative affirmations that undermine your confidence and motivation. By identifying these trigger words, you can become more aware of the impact they have on your thoughts and actions. Once you are aware of the specific words that hold you back, you can work towards reframing or eliminating them from your inner dialogue. 2. Rewrite Your Self-Talk: Once you have identified your trigger words, the next step is to rewrite your self-talk to align with your goals and values. Replace negative or unhelpful phrases with positive, empowering, and affirming statements that support your growth and well-being. For example, if you catch yourself saying, "I always fail at this," reframe it as, "I am capable of learning from my experiences and improving over time." By consciously choosing your words and crafting a more constructive inner dialogue, you can shift your mindset towards one that fosters self-confidence, resilience, and positive action. 3. Reflect on What You Say and Repeat: Regular reflection on your self-talk is essential for maintaining awareness and consistency in reshaping your inner dialogue. Take time to review your thoughts and words throughout the day, noting any instances where negative or counterproductive language arises. Reflect on how these statements impact your emotions, decisions, and behaviors. Celebrate moments when you successfully replace trigger words with positive affirmations and new phrases, and recognize areas where improvement is needed. Consistent reflection and correction of your self-talk, followed by repetition of positive affirmations and empowering language, will help reinforce a healthier and more supportive inner dialogue over time. By actively identifying trigger words, rewriting your self-talk, and engaging in ongoing reflection and practice, you can effectively change what you say to yourself and create a more positive and empowering inner dialogue. By nurturing a mindset that aligns with your goals and values, you can boost your motivation, resilience, and overall well-being on the path to personal growth and success. "Be present.

3716 From Mind to Motion
The influence of your thoughts on your actions is great. Research reveals that the connection is much deeper than you might think. And you wonder why it's been said, "What you think about, you bring about." Where do your thoughts take you—from mind to motion? Have you ever paused to ponder the path your thoughts pave towards your actions? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The age-old adage, "What you think about, you bring about," resonates with a profound truth - our thoughts possess the uncanny ability to shape our actions. Delving deeper into the realms of cognitive science unravels the intricacies of this dynamic interplay between the mind and motion. Research underscores the profound influence of thoughts on actions, painting a vivid picture of how our cognitive processes transcend mere musings to spur tangible behaviors. The neural pathways forged by our thoughts sculpt a blueprint that guides our actions, often dictating the course of our lives. And you wonder why it's hard to shake bad habits to create good ones. This intricate dance between thoughts and actions forms the cornerstone of our journey towards realizing our dreams and aspirations. If you want to chart a course towards your goals and dreams, a pivotal shift in your mindset becomes imperative. It's a psychological metamorphosis—a journey that demands a recalibration of thought patterns to align with desired outcomes. Your equation must be recalibrated. The K.I.S.S. ~ Recalibrate your thought patterns! Your life will not change unless your thoughts do. Your mind constructs the plans as to how you move forward, or not. Change is a constant. But to change your actions, it starts with your thoughts. That's when you change your life! So, how can you recalibrate your thought patterns? Here are three transformative steps to renew your mind and pave the way for harmonious actions: 1. Mindful Awareness: Cultivate a habit of mindful introspection to observe the thoughts that surface in your mind. By fostering awareness of your thought patterns, you can identify limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that impede your progress. Through mindfulness practices such as meditation and journaling, you can gain clarity on the narratives that govern your actions. 2. Build Confidence: To achieve this, infuse your mental landscape with positive affirmations that reinforce your goals and aspirations. By consciously replacing self-limiting beliefs with empowering declarations, you can instill a sense of confidence and self-belief that propels you towards action. Affirmations serve as potent tools to reprogram your subconscious mind and realign your thoughts with your desired outcomes. "You can't live in the past if you want to move forward in the future; you must be present today!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Visualize Where You're Going: Engage in the practice of visualization to vividly envision your goals and the actions necessary to bring them to life. By creating mental imagery (you're painting the picture in your mind) of success and embodying the emotions associated with achieving your dreams, you prime your mind for action. Visualization serves as a powerful catalyst that bridges the gap between thought and motion, empowering you to tread the path towards your dreams with clarity and conviction. Embark on the transformative journey from mind to motion by unraveling the profound connection between your thoughts and actions. As you embrace the power of conscious thought and intentional action, you wield the keys to unlock a future brimming with limitless possibilities. Let your thoughts pave the way for transformative motions, guiding you towards your highest aspirations and wildest dreams. "Be present. Be incredible.

3715 Know God's Will For You
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. ~ Romans 12:2 (NLT) What does this verse mean to you? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Another version of the scripture is: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIV) How are you living your life differently? Are you considered normal, or do you stand out in a crowd? As the Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Christians in Rome, he is reminding them of what's at the core of every Christian's faith. We are to stand out and be different. We are not to conform to the patterns of this world. Often, we find ourselves bombarded with societal pressures, cultural norms, and endless distractions that pull us away from our true purpose and our connection to God. What does your everyday life look like? Are you doing what everyone else wants, living up to the world's expectations? Or are you seeking what God desires for you? The K.I.S.S. ~ Know God's Will for you! It's not an easy process to gain the wisdom for knowing God's will; however, a willing heart is required. If you want to live out God's purpose for you here on earth, it requires sacrifice, a deeper understanding, and faith that transcends your own understanding. "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." ~ James 4:10 It's no longer about what everyone else wants, but who God has called you to become. You cannot point fingers and place blame on others. You must be obedient to what God requires of you and see yourself through God's eyes. It's not about what others are doing, but what you are not doing yourself. Are you aligning with the Fruit of the Spirit and God's character? 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ~ Galatians 5:22-23 Knowing God's Will for yourself means that you are becoming more like Him, with His attributes. You'll never be God. But He does want you to possess the character of Himself. Get in the Word to know God more, so you can walk in His presence more frequently, and open your heart to who He wants you to become. You will never "arrive" until you meet God face to face in Heaven. So do your part every day, and walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24 "Be present. Be incredible.
