His unit was pinned down by heavy enemy fire, and the mission was on the brink of collapse. Seeing his comrades in danger, PFC DeGlopper made a fateful decision. He stood up in the open, drawing the enemy's attention. Firing his weapon and absorbing countless hits, he kept the Germans occupied long enough for his platoon to maneuver and break free. He was mortally wounded, but his sacrifice saved his unit. For his bravery, PFC DeGlopper was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. His selfless act allowed his fellow soldiers to survive and continue the fight for freedom. The Mindset: PFC DeGlopper’s story highlights the power of selflessness, courage, and belief in something greater than ourselves. He chose to face almost certain death because he believed in the mission and the lives of his friends. This kind of mindset teaches us:

• Purpose over fear: He didn’t let fear stop him because he focused on his purpose—saving others.
• Service over self: His actions were driven by what he could do for others, not for himself.
• Legacy in sacrifice: True courage creates a ripple effect, inspiring others to act bravely and selflessly in their own lives.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Show your gratitude! What We Can Do to Show Our Gratitude: Memorial Day isn’t just about picnics or barbecues; it’s about honoring those who gave their all. Here’s how we can truly show our gratitude: ✅ Live with purpose: Let the memory of those who sacrificed inspire us to be better—more kind, more courageous, more willing to serve. ✅ Serve others: Whether it’s helping a neighbor, supporting veterans’ causes, or simply being there for someone in need, these acts of service honor those who died for us. ✅ Reflect and remember: Take time to learn about a fallen hero’s story, like PFC DeGlopper’s, and share it with others. Keep their memory alive. ✅ Express gratitude openly: Thank veterans and military families. Write a letter, attend a ceremony, or visit a memorial to show your respect. Who can you thank today for their service? How can you live your day, and not just today, but every day from this point on, with the heart that someone saw a future for our country before you knew?

Life was mostly simple at times, until there was something at school or work, or the family needed us. The struggles were there, but didn't overtake our feelings. However, soon into the marriage, life got a little more real. Time seemed to shrink, and responsibilities seemed to grow. Oh how quick we forget the little things that we said yes to, that now, is only a bother. Oh bother!! (Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, Disney) In marriage, we can't live our lives like Eeyore.  So instead of letting life lead, you get to lead your life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reignite your love! Back when my husband and I were dating, we wrote a ton of letters. The art of letter writing is a beautiful thing, especially when you share your deepest thoughts with the one you love most, your spouse. As let's put pen to paper, and write that love letter. And if you're wondering what to include, here are three essential elements that can breathe new life into your marriage and reignite the flame of your love.

1. Authenticity: Pour your heart out onto the page and express your true feelings without reservation. Be vulnerable, honest, and sincere in sharing your emotions, memories, and desires. Authenticity is the foundation of a deep and meaningful connection, and it allows you to truly understand and appreciate each other on a profound level.

2. Gratitude: Take this opportunity to express your appreciation for all the little things your partner does that often go unnoticed. From the way they make your morning coffee just right to the unwavering support they provide during tough times, acknowledging and thanking them for their efforts can strengthen the bond between us. Gratitude fosters a sense of mutual respect and admiration, reminding us of the countless reasons you fell in love in the first place.

3. Vision for the Future: Paint a picture of the future you envision together – full of love, joy, and shared dreams. Share your hopes, aspirations, and plans for the journey ahead, illustrating a path that you can walk hand in hand. By aligning your visions for the future, you can create a sense of unity and purpose that will guide us through the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead.

Now the fun part, give your letter to your sweetheart. Let the beauty and power of your connection and your words serve as a beacon of light that takes you back to the heart of love – where your souls intertwine and your spirits dance in harmony.

When you look at today, where do you want to be on the last day of summer? And what I mean by this is, how do you want to grow and be stretched as a family?  Summers can be challenging because there is more time to fill with activities. But you don't have to do everything. Yet, you do need to be a family and spend time together. The K.I.S.S. ~ Spend time together! That's where everything starts: spend time together! Summertime is not a break from school and studying, but an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your children. No matter what you do, if spending time together is the result, that's the best summer ever. However, I know there are a few things you can do to help you get through the summer with a smile. So let's look at ten parenting hacks to help you survive and thrive during the summer months.

1. Set a Daily Routine: Establishing a daily routine can provide structure for both you and your kids. Include designated playtime, meal times, and quiet time to maintain a sense of order throughout the day.

2. Create a Summer Bucket List: Involve your children in creating a list of fun activities and adventures they want to experience during the summer. And this bucket list does not have to cost money. Yet, it gives them something to look forward to and helps prevent boredom.

3. Limit Screen Time: While it can be tempting to rely on screens for entertainment, set limits on screen time to encourage outdoor play, creativity, and family bonding.

4. Organize Weekly Outings: Plan weekly outings to parks, museums, or local attractions to break up the routine and keep things exciting for your kids.

5. Schedule "Mom/Dad Time": Prioritize self-care by scheduling regular "mom/dad time" for yourself. Whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or enjoying a cup of coffee in peace, taking care of yourself will help you recharge and be a better parent.

6. Turn Chores into Games: Get your kids involved in household chores by turning them into fun games. Make cleaning up a race or create a scavenger hunt for items that need to be put away.

7. Embrace Messy Play: Let go of the need for a perfectly clean house and embrace messy play activities like painting, water play, or baking together. The memories created will far outweigh the temporary mess.

8. Set Boundaries with Love: Establish clear boundaries with your children and enforce them with love and consistency. Consistent boundaries provide a sense of security for kids and help them understand expectations.

9. Plan Regular Family Parties: Hold weekly family parties to discuss upcoming plans, express concerns, and celebrate successes. Encouraging open communication strengthens family bonds and fosters a sense of teamwork.

10. Practice Gratitude: Encourage your children to practice gratitude by reflecting on the positive aspects of each day. Ending the day with gratitude can shift the focus from challenges to blessings. Create a Summer Gratitude & Joy Jar. Then, you can revisit your memories anytime.

By implementing these parenting hacks, you can navigate the summer months with ease and create lasting memories with your children. Remember, finding the balance between boundaries and fun is key to a successful summer for the whole family. "Be present. Be incredible.

With a few savvy summertime parenting hacks, you can create all the fun you desire and keep your sanity intact. Balancing boundaries and enjoyment can be a challenge, but with the...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com First of all, think about what you want for your family. When you look at today, where do you want to be on the last day of summer? And what I mean by this is, how do you want to grow and be stretched as a family?  Summers can be challenging because there is more time to fill with activities. But you don't have to do everything. Yet, you do need to be a family and spend time together. The K.I.S.S. ~ Spend time together! That's where everything starts: spend time together! Summertime is not a break from school and studying, but an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your children. No matter what you do, if spending time together is the result, that's the best summer ever. However, I know there are a few things you can do to help you get through the summer with a smile. So let's look at ten parenting hacks to help you survive and thrive during the summer months.

1. Set a Daily Routine: Establishing a daily routine can provide structure for both you and your kids. Include designated playtime, meal times, and quiet time to maintain a sense of order throughout the day.

2. Create a Summer Bucket List: Involve your children in creating a list of fun activities and adventures they want to experience during the summer. And this bucket list does not have to cost money. Yet, it gives them something to look forward to and helps prevent boredom.

3. Limit Screen Time: While it can be tempting to rely on screens for entertainment, set limits on screen time to encourage outdoor play, creativity, and family bonding.

4. Organize Weekly Outings: Plan weekly outings to parks, museums, or local attractions to break up the routine and keep things exciting for your kids.

5. Schedule "Mom/Dad Time": Prioritize self-care by scheduling regular "mom/dad time" for yourself. Whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or enjoying a cup of coffee in peace, taking care of yourself will help you recharge and be a better parent.

6. Turn Chores into Games: Get your kids involved in household chores by turning them into fun games. Make cleaning up a race or create a scavenger hunt for items that need to be put away.

7. Embrace Messy Play: Let go of the need for a perfectly clean house and embrace messy play activities like painting, water play, or baking together. The memories created will far outweigh the temporary mess.

8. Set Boundaries with Love: Establish clear boundaries with your children and enforce them with love and consistency. Consistent boundaries provide a sense of security for kids and help them understand expectations.

9. Plan Regular Family Parties: Hold weekly family parties to discuss upcoming plans, express concerns, and celebrate successes. Encouraging open communication strengthens family bonds and fosters a sense of teamwork.

10. Practice Gratitude: Encourage your children to practice gratitude by reflecting on the positive aspects of each day. Ending the day with gratitude can shift the focus from challenges to blessings. Create a Summer Gratitude & Joy Jar. Then, you can revisit your memories anytime.

By implementing these parenting hacks, you can navigate the summer months with ease and create lasting memories with your children. Remember, finding...]]>724abundance,dads,discipline,family,forgiveness,gratitude,happiness,hope,joy,leadership,mindset,moms,parenting,presence,purpose,relationships,summertime,transformation,wellbeingfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker-beta.com/episode/3705-give-yourself-more-credit--1115835Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com And through it all, one thing remains true: you have the power to shape your own narrative, to define who you are, and to give yourself the credit you truly deserve.

Each morning we wake up is a new opportunity to rewrite our stories, to choose positivity over negativity, and to acknowledge the progress we've made, no matter how small. It's about shifting our mindset from doubt to belief, from criticism to compassion.

Rather than dwelling on the challenges we face, let's focus on our strengths, our resilience, and our determination to keep moving forward. Let's acknowledge the little victories, the moments of courage, and the steps we've taken towards our goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Give yourself more credit! Life is too short to be consumed by self-doubt and negativity. It's time to break free from the cycle of doubt and embrace a mindset of empowerment and self-appreciation. Let's take the pain of our past experiences and use them as stepping stones towards a brighter future. There's no reason to live in the bubble of double trouble.

Remember, progress is not linear. It's okay to have setbacks and detours along the way. What matters most is that you keep pushing forward, one step at a time, towards your own version of greatness.

So, give yourself more credit. Celebrate your journey, your resilience, and your unwavering spirit. Embrace the unique path you're on, and believe in the endless possibilities that lie ahead. You are worthy, you are capable, and you are deserving of all the credit in the world.

While external factors may be out of your control, there are still ways to prioritize your health and well-being even when all h*ll breaks loose. You need to understand that you matter, and what you can do in the moment and season you're in is all that counts.

Beating yourself up for the unknowns or uncontrollable options is not possible. That only digs a deeper hole that you are not worthy.

And that is backward thinking!

Move forward and embrace what matters-- YOU!!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what you can! It's not about being perfect in healthy living, but making good choices that work for an imperfect season. 1. Focus on What You Can Control: In situations where external circumstances seem to dictate your life, it's crucial to shift your focus to what you can control. This might include your mindset, daily habits, and self-care practices. By directing your energy and effort towards managing the aspects of your life that are within your reach, you can empower yourself to make healthier choices despite the chaos around you. "Let the hamster wheel go; you can still drink water while on it." ~ Kristianne Wargo

2. Practice Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: Being kind to yourself during challenging times is paramount. Instead of criticizing yourself for not being able to control external factors, practice self-compassion and mindfulness. Take moments to breathe, reflect on your strengths, and acknowledge the efforts you're making towards maintaining your well-being. By nurturing a positive relationship with yourself, you can better navigate difficult circumstances with resilience and grace. "Kindness goes a long way when you serve from your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo

3. Seek Support and Connection: Remember, you don't have to face tough times alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a support network for guidance and encouragement. Sharing your struggles with others can provide a sense of relief and perspective, reminding you that you are not alone in your journey towards health and wellness. Whether through virtual connections, therapy, or community resources, seeking support can help you feel empowered and supported during challenging times. When all h*ll breaks loose, remember that your well-being matters, and taking care of yourself is a courageous act of loving who you are and who you are becoming. By focusing on what you can control, practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, and seeking support from others, you can navigate through tough times with resilience and determination. Embrace the power within you to make healthy choices and prioritize your well-being, no matter what circumstances may come your way. You are made for more. Don't sell your body short just because you're in a season of chaos. Take a deep breath, be present in your decisions, and follow through with resilient action. You got this! "Be present.

It's when changes come into the picture that everything goes awry.

All of a sudden, you are pushed and pulled in directions you have not experienced, leaving you with feelings that don't sit well.

You are officially uncomfortable, and the retreat is even more appealing. That's where hating the calendar begins. 

So instead of wondering aimlessly through life with your habits, you get to make a deadline work for you! The K.I.S.S. ~ Make a deadline work for you! Running away will not get you where you want to go. In fact, it will derail your dreams and hurt your heart. Deadlines often invoke feelings of stress and pressure, but they can also be powerful motivators when leveraged effectively. By shifting your perspective and approach, you can harness the potential of deadlines to propel you towards your goals and dreams.   Here are three strategies to make a deadline work for you:

1. Set Clear and Specific Goals: Before tackling a deadline, take the time to clearly define your goals and objectives. By breaking down your overarching goal into smaller, actionable steps, you can create a roadmap to success. Specificity is key here – the more precise your objectives, the easier it becomes to track your progress and stay on course.

2. Establish a Reward System: Rewarding yourself for meeting deadlines can provide an extra incentive to stay focused and motivated. Consider setting up a rewards system where you treat yourself to something enjoyable upon reaching certain milestones or completing tasks on time. This positive reinforcement not only boosts your morale but also cultivates a sense of achievement and progress.

3. Practice Effective Time Management: Efficient time management is essential for making deadlines work in your favor. Prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance, allocate dedicated time slots for work, and eliminate distractions to enhance your productivity. Utilize tools such as calendars, to-do lists, and time-tracking apps to optimize your workflow and ensure that you meet your deadlines effectively.

By implementing these strategies, you can transform deadlines from daunting obstacles into valuable opportunities that propel you forward.  "Be present. Be incredible.

As messy as the middle is, God is right there in the middle of it with you. The Bible (Daniel 6) tells the story of Daniel and the Lion's den, illustrating how unwavering faith can lead us through the most challenging of circumstances. God sent an angel and shut the mouths of the lions. Daniel was unharmed. But I guarantee you that in the circumstance, he was probably scared, nervous, yet faithful. Just as Daniel trusted in God's protection, we too can find strength in our faith during times of difficulty. God's presence is not always flashy or dramatic - He often reveals Himself in the small, everyday moments we may overlook. What is different now is that God shows up in the blinks of your day. I like to call them the God winks in life.

He is not going to strike you with lightning, show up in the burning bush. But those nudges and tugs on your heart, the turning stomach with butterflies, or the thoughts you would not have thought-- yea, that's God. The K.I.S.S. ~ A sign of hope! When you spend time with Him and commune with Him, you are building your relationship. And that means, your faith is growing. "Walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7

A sign of hope might be a stranger who said something to you, a neighbor who asked the right question, or your sweetheart who confirmed a thought in your head. The God winks in life are all around you. But you must believe in order to see. Walking by faith is not the tangible Moses moment with the burning bush.

Yes, God is omnipresent. He is within you, God the Holy Spirit. So when your days seem darker than your nights, don't forget to look for a sign of hope. The blessings are around you. The direction you need to go is before you. But you've gotta look in order to see. "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." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 "Be present. Be incredible.

As messy as the middle is, God is right there in the middle of it with you. The Bible (Daniel 6) tells the story of Daniel and the Lion's den, illustrating how unwavering faith can lead us through the most challenging of circumstances. God sent an angel and shut the mouths of the lions. Daniel was unharmed. But I guarantee you that in the circumstance, he was probably scared, nervous, yet faithful.

What if you were to make a decision to love your spouse in a manner you've never done before? Or, if you have, you are doing it with more intentionality? I want you to think about money for a moment. Money can make a difference in your every day. But so can love. That's why you gotta show me the heart! The K.I.S.S. ~ Show me the heart! Your spouse needs to know how much you love and care for them. Life is hard for both of you. You both are juggling careers and dreams, kids and finances, but you cannot forget about each other. It's easy to do. Been there, done that. And it really hurts a marriage. In fact, it can destroy a marriage. I don't want that for you. I want you and your spouse to grow a strong foundation that will withstand the test of time and any storm you face together. However, it must come from the heart; the place where only the two of you connect. That's where the magic happens. Yet, at the same time, we are human, and human beings have human needs.  If you want to genuinely "show me the heart," you must think about a few of these. This is what it looks like in real life. 1. Express Gratitude: Take the time to express gratitude for your spouse's presence in your life. Acknowledge their efforts, both big and small, and let them know how much you appreciate them. Gratitude can strengthen your connection and create a positive environment in your relationship.

2. Support Their Goals: Show your support for your partner's dreams and aspirations. Encourage them to pursue their passions and be their biggest cheerleader along the way. By standing by their side and helping them achieve their goals, you are showing that you believe in their potential and value their growth.

3. Actively Listen: Practice active listening when your spouse needs to talk or share their thoughts and feelings. Give them your full attention, be empathetic, and show that you truly care about what they have to say. By being present and engaged in conversations, you can strengthen your emotional connection and foster a deeper understanding of each other. BONUS: Do the Assumable! And what I mean by that is you've got to read your spouse's mind! You must be intentional on a daily basis. This takes work. You gotta pay attention to the silent whispers and looks you get. Yes, you can clarify everything. But if you are paying attention, you will know your spouse's patterns and be able to serve them the way their heart wants it. And that's their way! "There are no assumptions in marriage; love leaves clues!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Be attentive and intentional to the patterns and desires of your spouse. Incorporating these acts of service into your daily interactions can transform your relationship and bring you closer to your spouse. Show Me the Heart!

But if you take into consideration their feelings, they might want you around more than they admit it. This is all about be presenting in your child's life. Don't make assumptions that your child is going to give you a written invitation when they want you to show. It's when you show up, that they notice how much they wanted you there.

Rise up to the occasion on a daily basis and be there for your child! You got your invitation to be there for them when you said yes to having them, whether it be by adoption, natural birth, fostering, or mentoring. Be there or be square. Because the best thing is being well-rounded as a parent! You don't want to be that square. 1. Practice Kindness and Compassion: Parenting can be challenging, and it's crucial for parents to practice compassion and kindness toward each other and yourself. Acknowledge that it's okay to make mistakes, seek help when needed, and show self-awareness that caring matters. When you are kind, you are expressing emotional well-being and showing what needs to happen when you are compassionate for others. There's always room in your heart for more. Be that patient, present parent.  2. Celebrate Imperfection: Embrace the imperfect moments in parenting as opportunities for growth and learning. Acknowledge that mistakes and setbacks are part of the journey and focus on progress and effort rather than perfection. By modeling resilience and acceptance of imperfection, you teach your children valuable life lessons. 3. Prioritize Play and Fun: Ensure that playfulness and fun are integral parts of your parent-child interactions. Engage in playful activities, games, and creative projects that foster joy, laughter, and shared experiences. Play promotes bonding, creativity, and stress relief for both parents and children. By incorporating these practices into your parenting approach, you can actively join the front lines and become the guiding force your child needs. Remember, your presence, encouragement, and empathy can make a lasting impact on their well-being and overall happiness.

In reality, we belittle ourselves with one brief mention, which is imprinted in our minds forever.

It's no wonder change is hard.  

But just because it's hard does not make it impossible. What must happen is your thoughts need to become words that echo loudly in your head and re-imprint what matters NOW!

Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! Speak the kind words loudly, repeating them often, blanketing your mind in that kindness, even when the harsh truth is shared.

Kindness softens the sharp corners and opens the heart to accept the idea of the changes that need to be made. Once the heart and head connect, you're ready to press forward with more pizazz. 

That's where you get the giddy-up and go! 1. Know the Language You're Using It's challenging when you want to make changes, but you don't know what you're changing. Think of it as painting your room. If you want a new paint color on the wall, you must know how you want to feel and what you want to experience in the space. Then, you can choose the color and make the change.  Changing the color is like changing your words and what you tell yourself over and over again. Take the words you use and restructure your vocabulary so you hear words of kindness with sprinkles of unconditional love in a manner that adds hope to your change and does not deplete you. Most of the time, our minds are repeating what we've heard told directly to us and what we continue to agree with those words shared with us. Stop the madness and change your language. 2. Eliminate the Words that Fatten Your Failures Why keep playing old records that make a bigger deal of your failures than your successes? If you are living, you are going to fail. In fact, you'll fail more than you succeed. So get a little skinny, not on your failures, but on your successes. Inflate in your mind that you CAN make changes by making choices that serve your challenges more by deciding to make the change. 3. Take A.I.M. on the One Thing Trying to do too much will only slow you down. If you put too much food into your mouth, you will have difficulty chewing and swallowing, causing you to choke. That's what we do when we're biting off more than we can chew. Focus on the ONE thing that needs immediate attention and give it the attention it deserves. No one wants to be chewed out on everything they do wrong at one time. So take it bit by bit, or should we say, bite by bite, and do what matters for this week. Once you have secured the action and it keeps you motivated to keep trackin', then you can move on to the next ONE thing. Healthy living is not always about the food you put in your mouth or how much your exercise. A lot of what needs to happen is what's happening in your head, and how it connects to your heart. You are not fat, and now your thoughts will not be either. "Be present. Be incredible.

It takes much effort and minimal failures for you to feel good. But the mirror can be harsh, the looks can be hurtful. You're not fat, your thoughts are. Who would have ever thought this is how you love your...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Kindness would be great to adopt in healthy living, especially because your thoughts can be so destructive. In reality, we belittle ourselves with one brief mention, which is imprinted in our minds forever.

It's no wonder change is hard.  

But just because it's hard does not make it impossible. What must happen is your thoughts need to become words that echo loudly in your head and re-imprint what matters NOW!

Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! Speak the kind words loudly, repeating them often, blanketing your mind in that kindness, even when the harsh truth is shared.

Kindness softens the sharp corners and opens the heart to accept the idea of the changes that need to be made. Once the heart and head connect, you're ready to press forward with more pizazz. 

That's where you get the giddy-up and go! 1. Know the Language You're Using It's challenging when you want to make changes, but you don't know what you're changing. Think of it as painting your room. If you want a new paint color on the wall, you must know how you want to feel and what you want to experience in the space. Then, you can choose the color and make the change.  Changing the color is like changing your words and what you tell yourself over and over again. Take the words you use and restructure your vocabulary so you hear words of kindness with sprinkles of unconditional love in a manner that adds hope to your change and does not deplete you. Most of the time, our minds are repeating what we've heard told directly to us and what we continue to agree with those words shared with us. Stop the madness and change your language. 2. Eliminate the Words that Fatten Your Failures Why keep playing old records that make a bigger deal of your failures than your successes? If you are living, you are going to fail. In fact, you'll fail more than you succeed. So get a little skinny, not on your failures, but on your successes. Inflate in your mind that you CAN make changes by making choices that serve your challenges more by deciding to make the change. 3. Take A.I.M. on the One Thing Trying to do too much will only slow you down. If you put too much food into your mouth, you will have difficulty chewing and swallowing, causing you to choke. That's what we do when we're biting off more than we can chew. Focus on the ONE thing that needs immediate attention and give it the attention it deserves. No one wants to be chewed out on everything they do wrong at one time. So take it bit by bit, or should we say, bite by bite, and do what matters for this week. Once you have secured the action and it keeps you motivated to keep trackin', then you can move on to the next ONE thing. Healthy living is not always about the food you put in your mouth or how much your exercise. A lot of what needs to happen is what's happening in your head, and how it connects to your heart. You are not fat, and now your thoughts will not be either. "Be present. Be incredible.

Just because you don't know where you're headed does not mean you are less than, not enough, confused, or stuck. It might be a season where unanswered questions lead to more direction. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace uncertainty! Don't get wrapped up in what you think you should know or what you believe others want you to do. Living a life on purpose requires you to take a chance on life and make changes in the meantime. This is the in-between, the middle, or that gap.

You are not going to know everything. But yet, even without knowing, you still know. In a world that often dictates the need for clear-cut plans and defined pathways, it can be liberating to relinquish the need for certainty and embrace the unknown. Life's most profound lessons are often learned in the midst of ambiguity.

Embrace uncertainty.   Release yourself from the shackles of perceived expectations and obligations. Your heart beats when you dare to step into unpredictability and chart a course uniquely your own.

You may not have all the answers, and that's perfectly acceptable. There is beauty in the unfolding of life's mysteries, in the unwritten chapters that reveal themselves one page at a time.

Embrace uncertainty.   Trust who you are and who you are becoming. Let God whisper in your heart and guide you towards unexplored territories. It is within this uncertainty that growth flourishes, and dreams take root.

So, as you navigate the twists and turns, the ups and downs, and the all-arounds of your journey, remember to embrace uncertainty. For on the empty pages with little to no words, lies the beauty of the next chapter, with life's most extraordinary possibilities penned on your heart. "Be present. Be incredible.

Change your words, change your life!

**How Words Shape Your Environment**

Our choice of words can create a narrative that informs how we perceive the world around us. Research in neuroscience has shown that the language we use can directly impact our brain's processing, influencing our emotions and behavior. How you feel dictates how you act. By cultivating a vocabulary that is empowering and positive, we can construct a more optimistic and authentic reality for ourselves.

**Establishing Credibility Through Language**

The words we use not only shape our external environment but also establish credibility and self-perception within ourselves. Studies have indicated that positive self-talk can boost self-esteem and performance, while negative self-talk can hinder progress and create self-doubt. By consciously choosing words that inspire confidence and belief in our abilities, we can enhance our sense of self-worth and accomplishments. **Overcoming Negative Vocabulary**

Many individuals struggle with negative self-talk, perpetuating a cycle of self-limiting beliefs and behaviors. By becoming aware of our internal dialogue and challenging negative thoughts, we can begin to reframe our words and beliefs in a more constructive light. This process of cognitive restructuring allows us to replace harmful language patterns with affirming and empowering vocabulary. A good friend of mine, named Marianne Renner, wrote a book called Self-Talk. One that you should pick up. She also shares the SEAR Framework: Story + Emotion + Action + Result. If we slow down enough and really pay attention to what we are saying, maybe we will hear how horribly we treat ourselves with our words. And if you are in that position, maybe you need to take a look and rewire your vocabulary. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rewire your brain! This is where you give yourself different words to use on a daily basis. Now, you might be good with the majority of your words, but there could be a few words or phrases that need to be overhauled. 

Three Steps to Wordsmithing Your Life

1. Mindful Awareness: Start by paying attention to the words you use regularly, both in your interactions with others and in your internal dialogue. Notice any recurring negative or self-defeating phrases and make a conscious effort to replace them with more positive and encouraging language.

2. Affirmation Practice: Incorporate daily affirmations into your routine to rewire your brain for positivity and success. Choose affirming statements that align with your goals and values, and repeat them regularly to reinforce a mindset of confidence and resilience.

3. Build With Kindness: Words create the framework of the actions that follow. If you can be honest with kindness, that helps to handle stuff that's hurtful, whether you thought it or someone else said it. It's no longer about what is being said, but rather about what is being heard in your mind that constructs your emotional and behavioral reaction. You want to be kind in your mind; build with kindness. By transforming our vocabulary and aligning our language with our aspirations, we can harness the transformative power of words to shape a more purpose-driven and fulfilling life. Start today by becoming intentional with the language you use and witness the profound impact it can have on your mindset and environment. "Be present. Be incredible.

How unfair are our thoughts of ourselves? So today, instead of writing a letter or reminding moms of their value, let's look at a mom chosen by God to love and care for His Son, Jesus Christ— Mary. Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, stands out in history as a woman of extraordinary faith, grace, and devotion. As we look at her life and example, we can glean insights into how we can embody the qualities of the mom we are called to be.

1. Faith in God's Plan: Despite the uncertainties and challenges she faced, Mary's unwavering faith in God's plan is a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting in God. Like Mary, we are called to surrender our fears and doubts to God, trusting that His purpose for our lives and our children's lives far exceeds our understanding.

2. Unconditional Love: Mary's love for Jesus was unconditional and sacrificial. From the moment she cradled her newborn son in a manger to witnessing His crucifixion on the cross, Mary's love remained steadfast and unwavering. As mothers, we are called to love our children with a love that knows no bounds, a love that endures through trials and triumphs, and a love that mirrors God's unfailing love for us. Moms, we are to be a reflection of God's love. The K.I.S.S. ~ God does not make mistakes! 3. Strength in Adversity: Mary's strength in the face of adversity and suffering exemplifies resilience and perseverance. Despite the hardships and challenges she encountered, Mary faced them with courage, grace, and dignity. As mothers, we too will experience trials and tribulations, but it is in those moments that our strength and character are forged, shaping us into pillars of support and fortitude for our families.

4. Nurturing Guidance: Mary's role as Jesus' mother extended beyond physical care to encompass spiritual guidance and nurturing. She raised Jesus with love, wisdom, and a deep understanding of His divine purpose. As mothers, we are entrusted with the sacred duty of nurturing our children's hearts and souls, instilling in them values, virtues, and a strong foundation of faith.

5. Humility and Obedience: Mary's humility and obedience to God's will are qualities we aspire to emulate in our own lives. Despite the uncertainties and challenges she faced, Mary submitted herself to God's plan with humility, grace, and trust. As mothers, we are called to humbly submit to God's guidance, seeking His wisdom and strength in navigating the joys and trials of motherhood.

In following Mary's example, we are reminded of the profound impact a mother's love, faith, and guidance can have on the lives of her children. Let us embrace the Mary Model of Motherhood with faith, love, strength, and humility, knowing that God equips us with the grace and wisdom we need to fulfill our divine calling as mothers.

Couples share their joys and sorrows, triumphs and challenges, creating a safe space for each other to be fully themselves without judgment. How are you sharing in your marriage?

• Communicate Openly: Communication is key in any relationship, but in marriage, it's crucial. Take the time to have meaningful conversations with your partner. Share your thoughts, feelings, and desires openly and honestly. Listen actively and empathetically to what your partner has to say.
• Shared Experiences: Create memories together by engaging in activities that you both enjoy. Whether it's trying a new hobby, cooking a meal together, or going on an adventure, shared experiences strengthen the connection between partners. It's these moments of togetherness that build a foundation of love and understanding.
• Support Each Other: In a marriage, it's essential to be each other's biggest cheerleader. Support your partner in their goals and aspirations, be there for them in times of need, and celebrate their successes as if they were your own.

Sharing in each other's triumphs and challenges creates a sense of unity and partnership that deepens the love between two people. And if you want more of this, you gotta share exponentially. The K.I.S.S. ~ Share exponentially! This is where you don't put boundaries on the "why, when, how, where, and what" you always need in the marriage. But you open up the interaction with each other, giving you the space to share exponentially. Consider what you are doing now. What's working and what needs more intentionality?  You must start where you are to gain traction to where you want to go. What 3 things can you do as a couple do to create space for sharing?

1. Schedule Quality Time: Set aside dedicated time each day or week to be together without distractions. Whether it's a quiet dinner at home, a walk in the park, or a cozy movie night, creating space for quality time allows for meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

2. Practice Gratitude: Express appreciation for your spouse and the things they do for you. Gratitude fosters a sense of connection and positivity in a relationship, making sharing more natural and fulfilling. Plus, it helps you recognize the goodness in your marriage. Because if you're not looking, you will not find.

3. Embrace Vulnerability: Allow yourselves to be vulnerable with each other. Share your fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities, creating a deep level of trust and intimacy in your relationship. Vulnerability is the key to authentic sharing and emotional connection.

Remember, sharing is not just about dividing responsibilities in the family, like who does what, but also about dividing joys and sorrows, dreams and fears, triumphs and challenges. It's about creating a space of love, trust, this deeper intimacy where two souls can truly connect and grow together; where me becomes we. So, wake up every day ready to move the needle closer to your spouse's heart, embracing the beauty of sharing and the depth of love you will create together. "Be present. Be incredible.

Too much of our time is spent on the things that don't matter, so we forget about what does. Sharing is my favorite. Sharing in a marriage goes beyond splitting chores or...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com It's about creating a deep sense of intimacy and vulnerability that strengthens the bond between two people. Couples share their joys and sorrows, triumphs and challenges, creating a safe space for each other to be fully themselves without judgment. How are you sharing in your marriage?

• Communicate Openly: Communication is key in any relationship, but in marriage, it's crucial. Take the time to have meaningful conversations with your partner. Share your thoughts, feelings, and desires openly and honestly. Listen actively and empathetically to what your partner has to say.
• Shared Experiences: Create memories together by engaging in activities that you both enjoy. Whether it's trying a new hobby, cooking a meal together, or going on an adventure, shared experiences strengthen the connection between partners. It's these moments of togetherness that build a foundation of love and understanding.
• Support Each Other: In a marriage, it's essential to be each other's biggest cheerleader. Support your partner in their goals and aspirations, be there for them in times of need, and celebrate their successes as if they were your own.

Sharing in each other's triumphs and challenges creates a sense of unity and partnership that deepens the love between two people. And if you want more of this, you gotta share exponentially. The K.I.S.S. ~ Share exponentially! This is where you don't put boundaries on the "why, when, how, where, and what" you always need in the marriage. But you open up the interaction with each other, giving you the space to share exponentially. Consider what you are doing now. What's working and what needs more intentionality?  You must start where you are to gain traction to where you want to go. What 3 things can you do as a couple do to create space for sharing?

1. Schedule Quality Time: Set aside dedicated time each day or week to be together without distractions. Whether it's a quiet dinner at home, a walk in the park, or a cozy movie night, creating space for quality time allows for meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

2. Practice Gratitude: Express appreciation for your spouse and the things they do for you. Gratitude fosters a sense of connection and positivity in a relationship, making sharing more natural and fulfilling. Plus, it helps you recognize the goodness in your marriage. Because if you're not looking, you will not find.

3. Embrace Vulnerability: Allow yourselves to be vulnerable with each other. Share your fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities, creating a deep level of trust and intimacy in your relationship. Vulnerability is the key to authentic sharing and emotional connection.

Remember, sharing is not just about dividing responsibilities in the family, like who does what, but also about dividing joys and sorrows, dreams and fears, triumphs and challenges. It's about creating a space of love, trust, this deeper intimacy where two souls can truly connect and grow together; where me becomes we. So, wake up every day ready to move the needle closer to your spouse's heart, embracing the beauty of sharing and the depth of love you will create together. "Be present. Be incredible.

Unfortunately, a lot of parents practice reactive parenting and not proactive parenting. We hit the nail on the head when something happens, instead of forecasting how we want our children to grow up in the world, setting them up for success as they enter adulthood. Plus, if you haven't figured it out already, raising kids is not easy! It takes SO MUCH work!! But what happens is when we are in a disagreement or our kiddos have done something wrong or incorrect (in your opinion), that's the only time we jump up and make a declaration. Parents, you need to check how you parent. Do not take their voices from them. Telling your children they cannot tell you "no" only sets them up for many failures to come in the future. You want your child to speak up. Now, the tone they use or their approach might be more of what you want to focus on. But not taking their voice. They, too, need to be heard, just as you do. Maybe you were raised this way, in that no one is to say NO. But how does that serve your purpose in the long run for your child? If your child is being hurt, don't you want them to be strong enough to say NO?  This is only one example. There are so many generational habits for discipline that we could talk about. But what I want today for you, Mom, is to reflect on how you parent, and make sure you are not continuing generational habits that do not support your child's mental, physical, psychological, and emotional development. If you think there might be a few, then all you do is break the cycle. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the cycle! As a parent, breaking away from generational habits in parenting can be the key to raising well-adjusted and emotionally healthy children. Here are three things you can do to change your parenting approach and break the cycle.

1. Reflect on Your Own Upbringing
Take time to reflect on your own upbringing and the parenting style you were exposed to. Consider what worked well and what didn't. Keep in mind that you will remember things differently than what happened as a child, because they are childhood memories. So, your reflection might need to involve your family to understand the specifics of what you're searching for. Recognizing patterns from past generations can help you identify areas for improvement and change. Then, you get to decide how you want to raise your children. 

2. Seek Out New Parenting Resources
Don't be afraid to seek out new parenting resources and information that align with your values and beliefs. There are so many opportunities for you to gain knowledge, get clarity, and understand your options to best train up your child. For example, attend parenting workshops, read books by experts in child psychology, or join parent support groups to gain fresh perspectives on effective parenting strategies. Remember, just because the resource is mentioned or noted, be sure you do your own research and what's best for your family's values.

3. Practice Present Parenting
This is a practice of mindfulness in your parenting approach by staying present and engaged with your child. Actions speak louder than words. So even in the silence, they are watching. Be conscious of your reactions and responses, taking the time to listen actively and empathize with your child's feelings. By being intentional and paying attention, you can break the cycle of reactive parenting and cultivate a more positive and nurturing relationship with your child.

By taking proactive steps to break generational habits in parenting, you can create a nurturing and supportive environment for your children to thrive in, fostering strong bonds and healthy emotional development.

"If you don't put yourself in the shoes of where you want to go, you will stay planted where you are now." ~ Kristianne Wargo Nothing will change-- unless you have a 911 moment. You visit with your doctor and get results from a lab test. You get sick enough that other people have to do the basics in life for you and your family. You don't want to wait for a crisis to awaken your soul, to the point where your head has to get in the game of making changes. As I was in line picking up a prescription, I noticed how long the line was and that it wrapped around the building. And the car two vehicles ahead of me had their window cracked, only to have smoke coming out like a chimney. Really?!? Now, of course, I don't know the whole story. But if you are getting a prescription, I don't think smoking should be part of your indulgence. Your body is worth more. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Regardless of your history and upbringing, you are cherished and called beloved by God. You are not an accident.  You are worthy to be cared for and loved! So instead of making excuses and believing lies you keep repeating to yourself, make it easy to say YES!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Make it easy to say YES! YES-- to who you are and who you are becoming. YES-- to living a life worthy of enriching nutrients that fuel your body. YES-- to intentional activities that keep you moving and physically balanced inside and out. YES-- to hydrating from the inside out with water that will awaken your cells. YES-- to you! But what is your hesitation? What are your excuses in this season? What is holding your YES captive and letting NO lead the way? I want you to really think about where you are today, and if this is where you know you are supposed to be. If there is any question, you know changes need to occur. Don't wait for the cookie to crumble! You are made for more! So, how can we make the transition into a genuine transformation that will stick for longer than 72 hours? Here are three key strategies to help you pave the way towards a healthier lifestyle: 1. Simple Preps:
  - Take the time to plan and prepare your meals and snacks in advance. By having healthy options readily available, you are more likely to stay on track and avoid grabbing convenient yet unhealthy choices when hunger strikes. Prep ingredients ahead of time, batch cook meals, and portion out snacks to streamline your eating habits. 2. Simple Swaps: 
  - Incorporate small changes into your routine that are easy to implement. Replace sugary drinks with water infused with fruit for a refreshing alternative. Swap out unhealthy snacks with nutritious options like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to satisfy cravings while nourishing your body. Park your car further away at the store so you get more steps. 

3. Simple Grabs:
  - Surround yourself with what matters: connection with like-minded individuals who support your journey towards a healthier lifestyle, an easy workout when you didn't sleep well, or water that you can have with no thought needed. The simple grabs help when you are tempted by your old habits. And if you can get a win from a simple grab, you stay motivated for the next moment to create your now. 

By following these three steps, you can set yourself up for success and make it easier to say YES to a healthier lifestyle. Remember, change takes time and consistency, so be patient with yourself and celebrate each small victory along the way. With determination and a positive mindset, you can create lasting habits that will benefit your health and well-being in the long run. "Be present. Be incredible.

Seriously! You can't live a life on purpose with a divine design if you let your past become your present. Oftentimes, we give hope to the ashes and forget to discover the beauty in the adventure.  Who you are and who you are becoming is a journey of a lifetime. If you want to grow God's way, you have to let go. The K.I.S.S. ~ Let go so you can grow! Because if you continue to hold tight onto the past, you neglect the beauty of the present and the endless possibilities of the future. Letting go is not just a choice; it's a masterpiece in motion where growth, self-discovery, and becoming who you are created to be shine brightly.

Here are three transformative steps to release the past and embrace the journey of becoming the person God desires you to be:

1. Practice Forgiveness: Holding onto grudges, resentment, and bitterness only poisons your spirit and hinders your growth. To truly let go and move forward, practice forgiveness – not just toward others but toward yourself as well. Release the burden of past mistakes and choose to forgive, allowing healing and freedom to enter your heart.

2. Cultivate Mindfulness: Embrace the power of mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present moment. By being fully aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings, you can let go of the grip the past has on you. Mindfulness allows you to detach from negative patterns of thinking and open yourself up to new opportunities and possibilities. Change is a constant, and growth is a choice.

3. Embrace Surrender: Surrendering control and trusting in what God has for you can be very freeing. Letting go of the need to micromanage every aspect of your life and instead surrendering to God's plan can lead to immense growth and transformation. Trust in the journey laid out before you, have faith that all things work together for your good, and release the need to constantly fight against the current.

When you give yourself permission to practice forgiveness, cultivate mindfulness, and embrace surrender, you pave the way for personal growth, spiritual awakening, and alignment with God's divine purpose designed for you. Letting go is not a sign of weakness but a demonstration of strength and faith in the journey ahead. Release the past, embrace the present, and watch yourself grow into the person you are becoming in the future. This is your day to shine brightly! "Be present. Be incredible.

But we know that's easier said than done. Because why not cling to the results and outcomes? Why not live for what we want? In the waiting, it's not about our junk. It's about remembering whose you are. As Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Our waiting is not in vain, as you renew your spirit and trust in the unwavering love of your Heavenly Father. The only choice that makes sense is to live while you wait. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live while you wait! The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ~ Psalm 27:1 (KJV) When do you want to grow up and be honest with yourself? You can't keep doing what you are doing if you want the life God has designed for you. That means your trust has to be greater than your fears. Your hope has to be in God, who controls all, not in your own strength. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 Other translations  for 2 Corinthians 5:7 say, "For we live by faith, not by sight." Whether you walk or live by faith, you need to do it God's way. Our way only gets in His way. So as you are waiting for what God has for you, have a willing mind, body, and spirit to take the next step closest to you. One decision leads to the next step. And when you are building your relationship with God, the earthly results you are searching for are not important.  Will you live while you wait? Hopefully, by being willing to take the next step, you will trust more and more that walking by faith does not have all the answers, but trusting that God's always got you, regardless of the results.

But if we don't stop to recognize or take mental note, we keep loading the trucks and living our habits. Couples may struggle to openly communicate their feelings and thoughts, leading to misunderstandings and emotional distance. And if you are hiding emotions, they are not the good ones that hang around. It's the destructive emotions that keep you on the ground.  Then, you interject the fear of how your spouse sees you, like being judged or criticized, which in itself hinders them from sharing their innermost thoughts or emotions. It can get a little bit wacky! And we're not finished yet. What about all that past baggage that you and your spouse are carrying. Past experience or unresolved issues can create barriers to honest and open communication, leading to a mix of realities. That's destructive to a person and to the marriage. 

Just because life is crazy and the chaos has more of our attention, doesn't mean that you discount your sweetheart! You must stay in tune with where your spouse is emotionally, or you will have a totally different situation to deal with.  Don't let the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities create a wedge or even a mountain that you all can't overcome. It's time to be intentionally on the marriage you really desire and that comes with the mental health of your spouse. When you create mindful moments to prioritize mental well-being in your marriage, you can then strengthen your emotional bond and promote a deeper sense of connection, a stronger marriage. So if you want a thriving marriage, take time and look at the mind. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take time and look at the mind! If your excuses are all about how busy you are, what you still have to do, and what the kids need, you are missing the most important person: your spouse. Take the time and look at the mind. And that's their mind, and yours. What does it look like to foster a supportive environment for your partner's mental health?

1. Sit 'n Listen: Set aside regular time to sit and truly listen to your spouse without judgment or distractions. Show empathy and validation for their feelings and experiences. The goal needs to be to create a safe space for honest conversations about how they are feeling. Encourage your partner to share their thoughts, concerns, and needs without fear of criticism. You need to be there to hold them up, not keep score of their wrongs!

2. Be Intentional in the Silence: You have a greater effect on your spouse with what is not shared, and what your body and looks say. If you are mad, watch out how your face shows it. Your spouse sees more than what you say. And the same goes for you, right? You see more than what your spouse says. So be intentional in the silence and be kind to those who are in front of you!

3. Wrap Your Spouse in Gratitude: Think of it as the grateful hug. Express your gratitude for your sweetheart's support and care, and acknowledge the effort they put into maintaining their mental health. Small gestures of appreciation can go a long way in strengthening your bond.

Remember, creating mindful moments for mental well-being in your marriage is an ongoing process that requires patience, understanding, and love. By prioritizing each other's mental health and well-being, you can build a resilient and supportive relationship that stands the test of time. "Be present. Be incredible.

In a world where our children are surrounded by friends, teachers, and mentors, our yes holds a unique power. It signifies that we see them, that we hear them, and that we value their wants and needs. It's about being present in their lives in a way that goes beyond permission or denial. So, how can we as parents ensure that our yes is truly impactful, beyond the words themselves? See, so they achieve! The K.I.S.S. ~ See, so they achieve! Keep in mind: This has nothing to do with being the best or perfect, or having received awards and recognition in life, for example, at school. It's all about how you recognize their presence so they know you are present. Here are three key things:

1. Be Present: Put down the phone, step away from the screen, and give your child your full attention. Engage in meaningful conversations, look in their eyes, listen actively, and show that you are there for them in mind, body, and spirit. Your body language speaks more than your words. Don't pretend that you are paying attention when you might be drifting off into another iCloud.

2. Empathize: Understand that your child's requests, no matter how small or trivial they may seem, are important to them. Empathize with their feelings, validate their experiences, and show that you care about what matters to them. Ensure your child knows that you understand how they feel.

3. Connect: Look for opportunities to bond with your child, whether it's through shared activities, quality time together, or simply being there when they need you. Establish a solid foundation of trust and understanding that extends beyond mere responses and resonates on a deeper level.

Ultimately, it's not about always saying yes, but about making your yes meaningful. By recognizing the power of attention over answers, you can truly make a difference in your children's lives. So, the next time you're faced with a request, remember that your 'yes' makes all the difference — a powerful tool for connection, compassion, and an extension of your love. "Be present.

The key lies in understanding that time is constant; it's our approach to tasks and goals that evolves with experience.

Consider the analogy of renovating a house. You start with a clear vision and a set budget, only to encounter unexpected obstacles and additional work along the way. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and tempted to slow down, but that's precisely when your persistence is put to the test.

The truth is, the journey of accomplishment is not always a linear path. It's about adapting to unforeseen circumstances, staying agile in the face of challenges, and most importantly, never losing sight of your destination, where you are headed. Yes, there may be more to do than when you first began, but that doesn't mean you should waver in your resolve. The K.I.S.S. ~ The art of doing!

Our bodies have their language, their needs, and their unique way of communicating with us. To truly make lasting changes and achieve optimal health, it's essential to tune in and listen to what our bodies are telling us. However, you must first decide to clear the clutter. The K.I.S.S. ~ Clear the clutter! And it's not any clutter. It's all the stuff that you keep gathering year after year; all the failures and successes. There you find an overwhelming amount of stuff that holds you back. You are weighed down, not by a number, but by the stuff that claims your heart and attention. So, how do you escape the mess you put yourself in? Here are three practical steps to help you clear the clutter and start making mindful choices for your body: 1. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods, activities, and environments. Keep a journal to track your energy levels, digestion, mood, and other vital signs. For example, if you notice that you feel sluggish after eating a particular type of food, consider cutting it out or reducing your intake. By fine-tuning your diet and lifestyle based on your body's feedback, you can create a tailored approach that works best for you. 2. Prioritize You: You must take care of yourself. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. This could include activities such as meditation, journaling, exercise, spending time in nature, or simply taking a break to relax and recharge. By investing in yourself, you not only foster a deeper connection with your body but also reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall well-being. Remember, you taking care of you is not selfish; it's a vital component of maintaining a healthy body and mind. 3. Establish Healthy Habits: Instead of following fleeting trends or quick fixes, focus on creating sustainable and healthy habits that support your long-term well-being. This could involve meal prepping, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and finding ways to stay active that you genuinely enjoy. By integrating these habits into your daily life, you create a solid foundation for a healthier body and a happier you. In the end, remember that change takes time, patience, and a willingness to listen to your body's wisdom. Embrace the journey, trust the process, and honor your body. Clear the Clutter to Change Your Body by Kristianne Wargo In the whispers of our bodies, lies the key,
To unlock the secrets of health and harmony.
Listen closely to its gentle plea,
For true wellness is found when we let it be.

Clear the clutter, let your body speak,
In its messages, the answers you seek.
Nurture it with care, strong and meek,
A partnership of love, pure and unique.

So as you journey through each passing day,
Remember, your body has much to say.
Listen, learn, and pave the way,
For a life of wellness, come what may. "Be present. Be incredible.

It whispers doubts in our ears, paints worst-case scenarios in our minds, and fills us with a sense of unease. But what if, instead of retreating in the face of fear, we were to step forward with courage and conviction, knowing that fear is simply a companion on our journey, not a hindrance?

It's true that stepping into the unknown can be daunting. The outcomes may be uncertain, the challenges may be humongous, and the road ahead may be filled with twists and turns. But in those moments of doubt and hesitation, remember this: you have what it takes. You are resilient, capable, and strong. You are created for such a time as this, for this adventure of a lifetime that beckons you forward. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fear is your friend! As you navigate the path ahead, remember that fear is not a sign of weakness, but a reminder of your humanity. It is a natural response to the unfamiliar, a signal that you are stepping outside of your comfort zone and into uncharted territory. Embrace fear as a companion on your journey, a reminder that you are alive, that you are taking risks, that your breath is worth living.

Believe in who you are and who you are becoming. Trust in your instincts, in your intuition, in your strength. Make fear your friend, not your foe. Lean into it, acknowledge it, but do not let it hold you back. For on the other side of fear lies a world of possibilities, of adventures, of vibrant, joy-filled experiences that are waiting for you to embrace them.

So, take that leap. Dive into the unknown. Embrace change with open arms and a fearless heart. And remember, fear is your friend.  Fear is Your Friend by Kristianne Wargo In the stillness of the night, when doubt clouds your mind,
And the path ahead seems daunting, uncertain, undefined,
Remember this truth, let it resonate deep inside,
Nothing is impossible, unless you decide. Fear is your friend, a companion on the way,
Guiding you through darkness into the light of day,
It whispers of challenges, of what could go wrong,
But ignore its deception, and instead, be strong. Hold on for the ride, let courage be your guide,
Step into the unknown, where dreams coincide,
With every heartbeat, with every breath you take,
Embrace the fear within you, let it keep you awake. For on the other side of fear lies endless possibility,
Where growth and transformation meet resilience and humility,
Trust in yourself, in your journey, in your inner light,
And watch as fear transforms into a beacon burning bright. So, dance with fear, embrace its fiery glow,
Let it fuel your passions, let it help you grow,
For in the face of uncertainty, in the midst of the tide,
Remember, fear is your friend—it's time to hold on for the ride. "Be present. Be incredible.

2. Set S.M.A.R.T Goals: Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that align with your vision. Building a foundation involves setting the right framework for your ambitions. Break down your goals into actionable steps, creating a roadmap that guides you towards your desired destination.

3. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Growth is a dynamic process that requires ongoing learning and adaptation. Embrace challenges as opportunities for learning, and be open to adjusting your strategies along the way. Building a strong foundation means being resilient, adaptable, and willing to evolve as you progress towards your goals.

Remember, nothing is impossible when you commit to building your foundation first.

My friend, it's not about your strength, but about God's. Your failures do not define how God sees or hears you! You don't have to prove anything for love. God gives it unconditionally because He loved us first. Now, when you say it out loud, it really does sound a little strange. If you're married, you know what it's like to have your spouse be mad at you and not pay attention to or want to be around you. Your mistakes and mishaps do not slam the door of God's heart in your face, as they can with your spouse. Instead, God leans in a little closer. He says, Come as you are! The K.I.S.S. ~ God's grace is sufficient! So why do you think you have to prove something? Seriously? What is keeping you from understanding the importance of accepting the grace that God gives, and stop pretending you have to do it right? Perfection does not get you closer to God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we are reminded that His provision exceeds our understanding, and His power is made perfect in our weakness. By placing our trust in Him, we can find the strength to persevere, knowing that He is our ultimate source of comfort and support. You are not alone. You do not have to live a life in fear, doubt, and shame thinking that God looks at your differently. He loves you for who you are and who you are becoming. So stop running and closing the door to your heart.  Take a bold step and pause for a moment. Let time be on your side to have chit-chat with God and share with Him what you are concerned about.  Yes, God knows all, but He wants to do life with you. So— let Him and begin again. There are new mercies every morning.  "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 "Be present. Be incredible.

No matter where you are in the rumblings of your life, God's grace is sufficient. You don't have to be perfect to be seen...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com But why do we feel so empty and torn that we don't even understand how we can rise up when we fall? My friend, it's not about your strength, but about God's. Your failures do not define how God sees or hears you! You don't have to prove anything for love. God gives it unconditionally because He loved us first. Now, when you say it out loud, it really does sound a little strange. If you're married, you know what it's like to have your spouse be mad at you and not pay attention to or want to be around you. Your mistakes and mishaps do not slam the door of God's heart in your face, as they can with your spouse. Instead, God leans in a little closer. He says, Come as you are! The K.I.S.S. ~ God's grace is sufficient! So why do you think you have to prove something? Seriously? What is keeping you from understanding the importance of accepting the grace that God gives, and stop pretending you have to do it right? Perfection does not get you closer to God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we are reminded that His provision exceeds our understanding, and His power is made perfect in our weakness. By placing our trust in Him, we can find the strength to persevere, knowing that He is our ultimate source of comfort and support. You are not alone. You do not have to live a life in fear, doubt, and shame thinking that God looks at your differently. He loves you for who you are and who you are becoming. So stop running and closing the door to your heart.  Take a bold step and pause for a moment. Let time be on your side to have chit-chat with God and share with Him what you are concerned about.  Yes, God knows all, but He wants to do life with you. So— let Him and begin again. There are new mercies every morning.  "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 "Be present. Be incredible.

Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Life isn't supposed to be fair, but when it comes to your marriage, most hope they are number one and a priority.  However, let's be real. There are those times when you can't be number one. And you've gotta remember that it goes both ways. When life presents challenges and responsibilities, it's easy to lose sight of each other's needs and priorities. Plus,it may not be so much that your spouse doesn't care, but more so the responsibilities in the season. Consider the birth of a new child, building or changing your career, medical diagnoses, extended family situations, and the child's various stages of life. There are many variations of what can become a priority or a necessity to "make it through" difficult circumstances, but that doesn't mean your spouse, or even you, doesn't love you. But in reality, that's just what you feel. And it's important to honor and recognize those feelings; however, don't hang out with them in a manner that can foster bitterness and begin the downward spiral in your marriage. If you find yourself experiencing a lack of priority from your spouse, or maybe you are not prioritizing your spouse, then take a moment to intentionally turn things around. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn things around! That's what you have to remember: you have a choice to make a decision about how you show up every day in your marriage. If you want to navigate these treacherous waters in your marriage, hang on, because you can turn things around. Here are three actionable steps to help turn things around when you're not feeling like you're number one in your spouse's life: 1. Love Language Exploration: Discover each other's love languages and actively incorporate them into your daily interactions. Whether it's acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, or receiving gifts, understanding and catering to each other's love language can deepen emotional connections and reignite intimacy. The book by Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages, is a great resource. 2. Adventure Together: Step out of your comfort zone and try new experiences together. Whether it's exploring a new hobby, embarking on a spontaneous road trip, or taking a cooking class, shared adventures can create lasting memories and strengthen the bond between partners. 3. Gratitude Practice: Cultivate a habit of gratitude within your relationship. Take time each day to express appreciation for each other's efforts, qualities, and presence in your life. A gratitude journal, daily affirmations, or simply verbal expressions of thankfulness can foster a sense of mutual respect and admiration. 4. Couples Counseling: Consider seeking the guidance of a professional couples therapist to navigate through challenges and improve communication. Therapy sessions can provide a safe space for both partners to express their feelings, work through conflicts, and gain valuable insights into improving the relationship dynamics. 5. Physical Touch Rituals: Create rituals of physical touch that foster intimacy and connection. Whether it's holding hands during evening walks, cuddling before bed, or sharing regular hugs throughout the day, physical touch can communicate love and support non-verbally, strengthening the emotional bond between partners. 6. Surprise Gestures: Surprise your partner with thoughtful gestures that show your love and appreciation. It could be leaving a heartfelt note in their bag, preparing their favorite meal, or organizing a surprise date night. Small acts of kindness and thoughtfulness can make your partner feel valued and cherished. 7. Shared Goals and Dreams: Align your visions for the future and set shared goals as a couple. Whether it's planning a travel adventure, saving for a common financial goal, or pursuing a joint passion project, working together towards a shared vision can foster a sense of unity and purpose in your relationship. 8. Mindfulness Practice: Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine as a couple. Whether it's meditating together, practicing deep breathing exercises, or simply being present in the moment during shared activities like eating dinner together, mindfulness can enhance emotional awareness, reduce stress, and improve communication within the relationship. Be creative in your marriage by approaching life's challenges in innovative ways. Think outside the box and do what works for you all as a couple and as a family. You can make it through these, what feels like, obtrusive seasons in your marriage, so long as you are intentional, kind, and serve with forgiveness. "Be present. Be incredible.

You're exhausted before your feet even hit the floor. However, embracing the ethos of the long game and deliberately avoiding the allure of quick fixes is key to cultivating resilient, confident children. Stick to the long game. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stick to the long game! Not sure if you know, but Round 1 of the NFL Draft was last night. Did you know that the kids who play high school football, only .023% make it to the NFL. Of college players, only 1.6% make it. It's a sliver of a sliver of a sliver. If you want to play in the NFL, there are no shortcuts, and same goes for parenting. It's a marathon and you have to be willing to run it day after day. There are no guarantees of success, but by staying committed to the long game, you are laying the groundwork for your kids' future success and well-being.  Here are three essential strategies to help parents stay the course and resist the temptation of rushing through the moments of growth and understanding:

1. Embrace Learning Moments: Just like a football player doesn't become a star overnight, children need time to develop and grow. Every mistake, every failure, and every triumph is a valuable learning opportunity. Encourage curiosity, exploration, and resilience in your children, knowing that these experiences are shaping their character and providing them with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges.

2. Nurture Consistency: Consistency is the cornerstone of effective parenting. Setting clear boundaries, enforcing rules, and offering a predictable routine can provide children with a sense of security and stability. By being consistent in your actions and expectations, you are building a foundation of trust and reliability that will carry your children through the ups and downs of life.

3. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection: In a world where perfection is often glorified, it's important to remember that progress, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. Parenting is a journey filled with ebbs and flows, and it's essential to acknowledge and appreciate the incremental steps forward. By focusing on the growth and development of your children, rather than fixating on the end goal, you can instill in them a sense of resilience and determination that will serve them well in the long run. Remember, there are no shortcuts when it comes to raising kids, but the rewards of patience, perseverance, and love are immeasurable. That's what you want for your family! "Be present. Be incredible.

You can't play small when you want to change it all! At some point, you have to admit the real struggles you face when trying to live a healthy life. Hiding behind your excuses only puts you deeper in the dark dungeon of bad habits. You might be experiencing stuff like:
1. Overwhelming Information: The abundance of health advice, diet trends, health trackers, fitness routines, and even ChatGPT can lead to confusion and decision fatigue. What do you do? 2. Social Pressures: Navigating social gatherings, peer influences, and societal norms that may not align with your health goals. 3. Time Constraints: Balancing work, family, and personal commitments can make it challenging to prioritize healthy habits and self-care.  Eventually, time and money can't be your go-to!! You've gotta bury the hatchet of excuses and rise up for what is possible. The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep it sweet and simple! Keep it sweet— it makes it doable. No more hardcore restrictions to hold you back. Instead, do what you can because you can. And keep it sweet and simple. 1. Focus on Seasonal REAL Foods: Instead of fixating on restrictions and counting calories, prioritize nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Opt for colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins that add to your muscle mass, not your fat _**. Keep your meals simple yet flavorful by experimenting with herbs, spices, and wholesome ingredients. Flavor and presentation is everything. Become your 5-star restaurant that favors your body's health. 2. Move Your Body Joyfully: Physical activity doesn't have to feel like a chore. Find activities that bring you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, yoga, or simply taking a walk in nature. Incorporate movement into your daily routine in a way that feels sustainable and enjoyable, rather than forcing yourself into rigorous workouts that drain your energy. What brings your heartbeat to life? 3. Practice Presence: Manage stress and overwhelm by being present in your everyday. Don't jump to conclusion before the outcome occurs. Incorporating mindfulness practices like taking moments to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. Truly, feel your heart beat. Prioritize adequate sleep, hydration, and self-care activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. When you lead with gratitude, compassion, and grace, it opens your heart to connect with your head, accepting what is and doing what you can control. 

Remember, healthy living is not about perfection but progress. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo When you keep it sweet, you get to create your now! "Be present.

You've gotta bury the hatchet of excuses and rise up for what is possible. The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep it sweet and simple! Keep it sweet— it makes it doable. No more hardcore restrictions to hold you back. Instead, do what you can because you can. And keep it sweet and simple. 1. Focus on Seasonal REAL Foods: Instead of fixating on restrictions and counting calories, prioritize nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Opt for colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins that add to your muscle mass, not your fat _**. Keep your meals simple yet flavorful by experimenting with herbs, spices, and wholesome ingredients. Flavor and presentation is everything. Become your 5-star restaurant that favors your body's health. 2. Move Your Body Joyfully: Physical activity doesn't have to feel like a chore. Find activities that bring you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, yoga, or simply taking a walk in nature. Incorporate movement into your daily routine in a way that feels sustainable and enjoyable, rather than forcing yourself into rigorous workouts that drain your energy. What brings your heartbeat to life? 3. Practice Presence: Manage stress and overwhelm by being present in your everyday. Don't jump to conclusion before the outcome occurs. Incorporating mindfulness practices like taking moments to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. Truly, feel your heart beat. Prioritize adequate sleep, hydration, and self-care activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. When you lead with gratitude, compassion, and grace, it opens your heart to connect with your head, accepting what is and doing what you can control.

If you wake up every day doing the same things and expecting different results, something must change. It may be time to shake things up and make a conscious effort to change your mindset and course of action. If you keep believing the lie you tell yourself, it will become the truth. Our perceived reality has a way of confusing our minds, making us think we are doing what we should be. Well, think again. What reality are you living in— the truth or the lies you keep telling yourself? Remember, if you continue to believe the lies you tell yourself, they will eventually become your reality. It's essential to differentiate between the truth and the stories you've woven to break free from the cycle of limiting beliefs and embrace a new, empowering story for your life. You get to write your story every day and create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Write your story! Here are three key steps to help you break free from the cycle of complacency and embrace a new reality:

1. Challenge What You See: Take a critical look at the stories you tell yourself, what you believe, and question whether they are serving your best interests. Identify any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back and replace them with empowering thoughts that align with your goals and aspirations. Be specific in what you want. In other words, stop beating around the bush. Be a true truthteller!

2. Step Out of the Norm: Growth and transformation often occur outside of your comfort zone. You have permission to be abnormal! Embrace new experiences, take risks, and try things that scare you. By pushing past your self-imposed boundaries and your own limitations where you say you can't do something, that's when you open yourself up to a world of possibilities and opportunities for growth.

3. Set Clear Goals and Take A.I.M.: Define what you want to achieve and create a daily roadmap to get there. Break down your goals into daily bite-sized steps and take consistent action towards them. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Celebrate small wins along the way and stay focused on your vision for the future. and what God has divinely planned for you! Challenge yourself to live authentically, embrace change, and strive for a reality that aligns with your true desires and aspirations, the heart palpitation moments.  The moment you dare to question the lies you've accepted as truth is the moment you pave the way for a transformation that can lead to a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

I have a good friend who schedules her time with her only daughter once a month to see her. I've wondered if she does the same, but on a more frequent basis, with her husband.  We take a lot for granted. We think tomorrow will be here and we'll do it then. But tomorrow is not guaranteed.  With Easter tomorrow, it brought to my attention how we need to love each other like God loved His Son and loves us! But we don't have time for that either. Or do we? I think we make time for what matters. They say if you were to look at your monthly bank statement, it would tell you exactly what you prioritize. For me, maybe food. I'm just joking. But seriously, how are you spending your time, money, energy, and emotions with your spouse? Are you creating a bond that is inseparable? Looking at Easter with Good Friday yesterday, God loved His Son through the end and through the beginning. That love endured throughout sunrises and sunsets.  But what about your love for your spouse?  We don't necessarily punish our spouses in the manner that Jesus took on our sins, but to a degree, we hold grudges and keep score as if they should be punished. At what point do you say, "I need to love the way God first loved me?" Because that changes everything!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Love changes everything! And it's not about love in the manner of what the world says, but how God shows us. Unconditional love needs to be the root of our marriage.  1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." How are you loving your spouse? Love changes everything!  And it did the night that Jesus was crucified for you and me. Thankfully, Jesus rose on the third day in which we celebrate as Easter!  Love changes everything.  How can you take what God has proven to be true love and establish that in your marriage? 1. Practice Forgiveness Daily: Let go of past grievances and embrace a spirit of forgiveness towards your partner. Just as God forgave us through Christ, extend grace and mercy to your spouse, fostering a sense of healing and reconciliation in your relationship. Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." 2. Cultivate Kindness and Patience: Channel the love described in Corinthians by choosing to show kindness and patience in your interactions with your spouse. Small acts of kindness and understanding can go a long way in strengthening the bond between you and your partner. 3. Prioritize Quality Time: Make intentional efforts to talk openly and honestly with your spouse, creating a space for shared experiences and heartfelt conversations. That comes with quality time. Dedicate quality time to nurture your connection and deepen your understanding of each other's needs and desires. You get the opportunity to show your love as Christ loved you first. "Be present.

It's not something you just wake up to with all the tools in your toolbox and can renovate accordingly. It takes conversation after conversation after timeout after grounding after taking away the tablet or phone. This is not a quick fix "I got it" mom job!! This goes on and on and on. It never ends. You know with today being Good Friday, I can't help but think about Jesus and His conversation with God the Father.  Jesus expressed the concept of doing what He desired versus what His Father in Heaven desired. In Matthew 26:39, Jesus prays, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." This verse highlights the internal conflict Jesus faced, ultimately choosing to align His will with that of His Father, demonstrating obedience, sacrifice, and love. Jesus concludes in Matthew 26:42— He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." Jesus came back to His disciples and found them sleeping again. He left for the third time and after returning, told His disciples that "the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners." (Matthew 26:45) Yet Jesus knew the outcome. God the Father prepared Him for such a time as this. And whether or not we want to believe it, this was real to Jesus. He felt the pain and the agony of what was to come.  Our children need to understand that there are consequences to what they do, good or bad, and they need to be ready to accept them accordingly. But that training comes from us as their parents.  We have to model the way God the Father modeled to God the Son (the Son of Man). Otherwise, our children will miss the boat. So we must sacrifice comfort for the betterment of our children. The K.I.S.S. ~ Sacrifice comfort! Sacrificing comfort is more for us than for them. We have to do the hard stuff so they can live and impact with greater simplicity. Teaching them right from wrong every day keeps our children grounded.   To bridge the gap from confession to connection with their children, parents can incorporate the following practices:

1. Practice Forgiveness: Just as Jesus forgave those who wronged Him, parents can embody forgiveness when their children make mistakes. By showing forgiveness, parents not only relieve their children of guilt but also pave the way for a deeper connection based on understanding and grace.

2. Offer Guidance with Love: Jesus's teachings were filled with love and compassion, even when delivering guidance or discipline. Parents can emulate this approach by providing constructive feedback and setting boundaries out of love, rather than out of anger or frustration. By offering guidance with empathy and understanding, parents can strengthen the bond with their children.

3. Foster Open Communication: Like the relationship between Jesus and His Father, parents and children can nurture their connection through open communication. Encouraging honest dialogues, active listening, and mutual respect creates a safe space for children to seek guidance, share their struggles, and grow through their mistakes.   The key is to build a foundation of trust and communication that enables parents to support their children's journey from confession to connection. What you are creating is the sacred space!

Navigating the complexities of parenting requires a delicate harmony of discipline, forgiveness, and love. Drawing inspiration from the sacrificial love exemplified on Good Friday and the teachings of Jesus, parents can guide their children through their mistakes with empathy, understanding, and grace.   By embracing forgiveness, offering loving guidance, and fostering open communication, parents can move from moments of confession to deeper connections with their children, embodying the enduring bond of love and redemption.

Because one of the toughest things we must do is bridge...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com We need to find the happy medium that allows our children to face the truth in their lives so they can grow and be transformed into who they are becoming.  And that takes work! It's not something you just wake up to with all the tools in your toolbox and can renovate accordingly. It takes conversation after conversation after timeout after grounding after taking away the tablet or phone. This is not a quick fix "I got it" mom job!! This goes on and on and on. It never ends. You know with today being Good Friday, I can't help but think about Jesus and His conversation with God the Father.  Jesus expressed the concept of doing what He desired versus what His Father in Heaven desired. In Matthew 26:39, Jesus prays, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." This verse highlights the internal conflict Jesus faced, ultimately choosing to align His will with that of His Father, demonstrating obedience, sacrifice, and love. Jesus concludes in Matthew 26:42— He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." Jesus came back to His disciples and found them sleeping again. He left for the third time and after returning, told His disciples that "the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners." (Matthew 26:45) Yet Jesus knew the outcome. God the Father prepared Him for such a time as this. And whether or not we want to believe it, this was real to Jesus.

There is a presence that watches over us, offering comfort, guidance, and unwavering support – God's presence. In times of struggle and hardship, it is often our faith and connection to God that sustains us, helping us find our way back to the light.

When we feel unseen and unheard, it can be tempting to retreat further into isolation, hiding our pain and struggles from the world. However, it is precisely in these moments of vulnerability that we need to reach out and connect with the divine presence that surrounds us. Oh God, do you hear me? By relinquishing our fears and doubts to our heavenly Father, we open ourselves up to the healing and transformation that can only come when we walk in the light. The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk in the light! Finding hope and restoration in turbulent times begins with a simple yet profound act – surrendering our burdens and worries to God. As we release our grip on control and trust in His divine plan that is unfolding, we allow for miracles to be seen in our lives. In the embrace of God's love and grace, we find the strength to rise above our circumstances, knowing that we are held in the palm of God's hands.

So, if you find yourself in the midst of turmoil and despair, remember this – you are never alone, and there is always a light shining bright to guide your way.

Now, let me also clarify that in the context here, the Apostle Paul is speaking about sexual immorality. However, just looking at the part where it questions, "Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you...", would you not want to treat your body, inside and out, with respect, love, and care? I remember one thing my husband said to me when I was really in a battle with my body, and it still is heart-stopping to this day. "God wants you pure!" ~ Kristianne's Husband We can never be perfect here on Earth, but we can choose to be pure in a manner that serves our heavenly Father well while here on Earth.  You get one mind, one body, and one spirit. How are you choosing to live for Christ every day with your body? If we treat our bodies with disrespect, how does that translate to how we are treating God if our bodies are the temple? In a world filled with temptations and distractions, how can we shift our perspective toward divine fitness and prioritize what truly matters? The shift comes when we nurture our bodies. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nurture your body! The Shift:
Our approach to fitness and well-being transforms when we view our bodies as temples of God. Instead of solely focusing on physical aesthetics or fleeting desires, we shift our mindset to honor our bodies as a gift from God, deserving of respect, care, and nourishment.   Divine fitness is not just about physical exercise; it encompasses holistic wellness—nurturing our bodies, minds, and spirits in alignment with our spiritual beliefs.   Three Ways to Embrace Divine Fitness and Escape Temptations:
1. Cultivate Mindful Movement: Engage in physical activities that not only strengthen your body but also elevate your spirit. Whether it's strength training, going for a nature walk, or dancing to uplifting music, choose activities that connect you with your inner being, bringing you closer to God.

2. Nourish with Intention: Fuel your body with wholesome, nourishing foods that support your overall well-being. Choose foods that energize you, nourish you, and honor your body's needs. Avoid succumbing to unhealthy temptations by mindfully selecting foods that align with your values and goals.

3. Connect with Community: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your commitment to divine fitness. Seek support and encouragement from a community that uplifts and inspires you on your wellness journey. By fostering meaningful connections with others on a similar path, you can navigate temptations together and stay focused on what truly matters.

Embracing divine fitness is not just about physical exertion—it's a holistic lifestyle that honors our bodies as temples of God. When you shift your perspective, you can escape temptations and realign with what truly matters—honoring your mind, body, and spirit as sacred gifts from God.   As you walk this Holy Week, really give yourself the space to know what God desires for you so you can honor God with your mind, body, and spirit.  This is the day that the Lord has made; love yourself and create your now!

And no matter where you turn, change will greet you. However, it's not worrying about the change, but how you will face it with eloquence and patience. See, that's where a lot of us mess up. We get impatient because we want what we want NOW! There's no time to wait. Can't you just order what you want and it appears? It's worked for Amazon. In life, it's not that easy. The reality is you have to be willing to stick with it longer than what it took to get where you are now.  Look at new businesses. You're not an overnight success racking in millions of dollars. It takes blood, sweat, and tears to get your business noticed and those willing to buy whatever you are selling. You have to build your customer base. The same goes for you. You have to build a solid foundation, one that you want. And if that foundation is unacceptable, you gotta make some changes with a sledgehammer or concrete jackhammer to make room for the changes.  Let's take it back to the mirror. If you are using the mirror as a tool to see what is happening, then you have to learn how to magnify what you want to see. The K.I.S.S. ~ Magnify what you want to see! I don't know about you, but there are things I want to do better and some I would like to change. What about you?   What do you want to magnify so that who you are is captured within your reflection?   If you're looking to make changes and become the person you aspire to be, here are three things you can start doing today:

1. Seek Discomfort: Growth often lies outside of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself by trying new activities, learning a skill you've always wanted to master, or engaging in conversations that push your boundaries. Embracing discomfort can lead to personal breakthroughs and increased resilience.

2. Embrace Failure: Instead of fearing failure, view it as a stepping stone to success. Failure provides valuable lessons, feedback, and opportunities for growth. By reframing how you perceive failure, you can adopt a more resilient and growth-oriented mindset.

3. Engage in Lifelong Learning: Never stop learning and exploring new ideas. Whether it's reading books, taking online courses, attending workshops, or engaging in stimulating conversations, continuous learning can broaden your perspectives, enhance your skills, and keep your mind sharp.

Here's a profound thought: Should we ever get comfortable with who we see in the mirror? While self-acceptance and self-love are important, it's equally crucial to strive for personal growth and development.   Embracing change and continuous improvement can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. So, while it's essential to appreciate and honor who you are in the present moment, never stop aiming to become the best version of yourself.

Remember, the mirror reflects more than just your appearance. It reflects your mindset, your actions, and your potential for growth. Believe in the power of change, and watch as the reflection transforms into the person you've always wanted to see. "Be present. Be incredible.

No matter what you do, they capture the present moment. So, as you take a peek, do you believe what you see in the mirror? Now, be kind to yourself as you answer that question, and also be very...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Change is a constant in life. And no matter where you turn, change will greet you. However, it's not worrying about the change, but how you will face it with eloquence and patience. See, that's where a lot of us mess up. We get impatient because we want what we want NOW! There's no time to wait. Can't you just order what you want and it appears? It's worked for Amazon. In life, it's not that easy. The reality is you have to be willing to stick with it longer than what it took to get where you are now.  Look at new businesses. You're not an overnight success racking in millions of dollars. It takes blood, sweat, and tears to get your business noticed and those willing to buy whatever you are selling. You have to build your customer base. The same goes for you. You have to build a solid foundation, one that you want. And if that foundation is unacceptable, you gotta make some changes with a sledgehammer or concrete jackhammer to make room for the changes.  Let's take it back to the mirror. If you are using the mirror as a tool to see what is happening, then you have to learn how to magnify what you want to see. The K.I.S.S. ~ Magnify what you want to see! I don't know about you, but there are things I want to do better and some I would like to change. What about you?   What do you want to magnify so that who you are is captured within your reflection?   If you're looking to make changes and become the person you aspire to be, here are three things you can start doing today:

1. Seek Discomfort: Growth often lies outside of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself by trying new activities, learning a skill you've always wanted to master, or engaging in conversations that push your boundaries. Embracing discomfort can lead to personal breakthroughs and increased resilience.

2. Embrace Failure: Instead of fearing failure, view it as a stepping stone to success. Failure provides valuable lessons, feedback, and opportunities for growth. By reframing how you perceive failure, you can adopt a more resilient and growth-oriented mindset.

3. Engage in Lifelong Learning: Never stop learning and exploring new ideas. Whether it's reading books, taking online courses, attending workshops, or engaging in stimulating conversations, continuous learning can broaden your perspectives, enhance your skills, and keep your mind sharp.

Here's a profound thought: Should we ever get comfortable with who we see in the mirror? While self-acceptance and self-love are important, it's equally crucial to strive for personal growth and development.   Embracing change and continuous improvement can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. So, while it's essential to appreciate and honor who you are in the present moment, never stop aiming to become the best version of yourself.

Remember, the mirror reflects more than just your appearance. It reflects your mindset, your actions, and your potential for growth. Believe in the power of change, and watch as the reflection transforms into the person you've always wanted to see. "Be present. Be incredible.

The greeting so overwhelming and overwelcoming. That would be a monumental moment of hope and excitement. Think how you would feel? Recognized as someone who matters and people notice. Palm Sunday became a day to celebrate the promises Jesus brought and the hope of salvation to come. Even though life is not easy, and struggles and troubles can weigh us down, we are renewed day by day. The K.I.S.S. ~ Renewed Day By Day! **Significance of Palms:** 1. **Victory and Triumph:** The waving of palm branches during Palm Sunday symbolizes victory, triumph, and honor. In biblical times, palm branches were often used as symbols of triumph and celebration, especially to welcome royalty or conquerors.
   
2. **Kingly Entry:** By spreading palm branches on the road as Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds were acknowledging him as a king, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 where the Messiah is described as entering Jerusalem on a donkey.
  
3. **Peace and Restoration:** Palms are also associated with peace and restoration in the Bible. In Revelation 7:9, a great multitude is described as holding palm branches, symbolizing their victory and peace in Christ.
   
4. **Spiritual Renewal:** Palms are emblematic of renewal and rejuvenation. As believers wave palm branches on Palm Sunday, it signifies their acknowledgment of Jesus as the source of spiritual renewal and the giver of new life.
   
5. **Acknowledgment of Christ's Authority:** The act of laying down palm branches before Jesus as he entered Jerusalem was a public declaration of acknowledgment and submission to his authority as the promised Messiah and King.
  
6. **Foreshadowing of Resurrection:** The use of palm branches during Palm Sunday also foreshadows the triumph of Jesus' resurrection, symbolizing eternal life, victory over death, and the hope of salvation for all who believe in him.  As we reflect on the significance of Palm Sunday and look towards the hope that goes beyond the cross, may we be encouraged to persevere in faith, knowing that we are being transformed and renewed by the grace of God, day by day. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him, and let us find hope in the promise of resurrection and eternal life in Him.

Or are you searching deeper and starting by looking in the mirror? True growth in a relationship comes from self-reflection and personal development. Our egos appreciate the pointing of the fingers at our spouses. But the success of our marriage is dependent upon the reflection of our own head and heart first. Once when that clarity sets in and growth is gained for you, that's when the magic shows up in your marriage. Look in the mirror. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look in the mirror! Here are three key strategies for spouses to consider before pointing the finger at their partner: 1. Cultivate Self-Awareness: Research shows that self-awareness is a critical skill for successful relationships. Before criticizing your spouse, take a moment to reflect on your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Ask yourself why certain things trigger you and how you can address those triggers within yourself. By understanding your own emotional reactions and patterns, you can approach conflicts with your partner from a place of self-awareness and empathy. 2. Understand Where "IT" Comes From: Once you know your patterns and triggers, the things you see in the mirror— you can begin to understand where they're coming from. It's vital to recognize and acknowledge what is happening so you can make decisions as to how to rectify the situation. How do you turn things around quickly? And then, in real-time, you can make shifts where you don't even experience the patterns or triggers any longer.  3. What is Your Contribution? Rather than trying to change your spouse, focus on where your contribution is in the marriage. Wherever you think you're pointing your fingers, look at yourself first. Make the changes, discuss them with your spouse, and see what happens. Then, you make further tweaks along the way, eventually creating new habits. Now, it's no longer about what your spouse is doing all wrong, but what you are doing better for your marriage. Connect your head and heart in this partnership called marriage. That's where you'll see hope and love root deeper, creating a stronger foundation for a beautiful marriage. "Be present. Be incredible.

Sometimes we look more on the outside influences, but it can be internal within the family structure, too. That's what makes it tough. Who wants to say that you're causing your kiddos stress? No mama what's to admit to that, but there is truth to it. And it's vital to look at what is happening inside and outside the home in order to better help your child.

I think of Mrs. Incredible from the movie The Incredibles with a zapper or a sting-ray to get rid of the stress.  Let's explore three effective ways parents can help their children handle stress and also discuss strategies for parents to manage their own stress effectively. 1. Build Emotional Resilience
One of the most important ways parents can help their children handle stress is by building their emotional resilience. Encourage open communication with your child, create a safe space for them to express their feelings, and validate their emotions. Teach them coping mechanisms such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, or engaging in activities they enjoy. By fostering emotional resilience, children can learn to navigate stressors effectively and develop healthy coping strategies for the future.

2. Establish Healthy Routines
Consistency and structure play a significant role in reducing stress for children. Establishing healthy routines such as regular sleep schedules, balanced nutrition, and dedicated time for homework, play, and relaxation can help children feel more secure and in control. Encourage physical activity and outdoor play to promote overall well-being and stress relief. By providing a stable environment, parents can support their children in managing stress more effectively.

3. Encourage Problem-Solving Skills
Teaching children problem-solving skills from a young age can empower them to face challenges with confidence. Encourage critical thinking, creativity, and resilience when dealing with obstacles or stressful situations. Help your child break down problems into smaller, manageable tasks and guide them in finding solutions independently. By nurturing problem-solving skills, parents can equip their children with tools to navigate stress and adversity throughout their lives.

Managing Parental Stress:
Parenting can be overwhelming, and it's crucial for parents to take care of their own well-being to effectively support their children. Here are some strategies for parents to manage their stress:

- Practice self-care: Prioritize self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, hobbies, or spending quality time with loved ones to recharge and reduce stress.
- Seek support: Reach out to friends, family members, or mental health professionals for support and guidance when dealing with parental stress.
- Set boundaries: Establish boundaries to manage workload, household responsibilities, and commitments effectively, allowing time for relaxation and self-care.

Whether you want to admit it or not, parents play a vital role in helping their children handle stress in today's demanding world. You will make it through. Your hair might lose a little color. You might lose a little sleep. But you will make it through. You can take it from stress to strength. "Be present. Be incredible.

Despite the numerous diets, exercises, and weight loss programs available, shedding belly fat remains a significant challenge for many. Crash diets and excessive abdominal exercises often yield little to no sustainable results.  What have you tried in the past that has not worked well? If you want to make an impact on your health, it's time to outsmart your belly fat and take control of your health. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take back your health! Here are three things you can do to begin your journey to better health. 1. Revamp Your Diet: Focus on consuming a well-balanced diet rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid sugary drinks, processed foods, and trans fats, as they contribute to belly fat accumulation. Incorporating healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil can actually help reduce belly fat.

2. Prioritize Strength Training: While cardio is great for overall health, incorporating strength training into your fitness routine can help build muscle mass and increase your metabolism. Targeting the abdominal muscles with exercises like planks, crunches, and Russian twists can tone and tighten the midsection.

3. Prioritize Sleep and Stress Management: Lack of sleep and chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance and promote weight gain, especially in the abdominal region. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga to reduce stress levels.

By adopting these strategies and staying consistent, you can outsmart your belly fat and take your health back. Remember, slow and steady wins the race to a better you! Progress is key to long-term success in your weight loss journey. So, don't rush what you can change one step at a time.    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Walk Your Own Path by Kristianne Wargo In the forest of life, where paths diverge,
Walk your own trail, with purpose and courage.
Amidst the shadows and whispers of doubt,
Forge ahead boldly, inside and out. The footprints you leave, on soil and on stone,
Tell the story of you, and you alone.
Embrace the journey, the twists and the turns,
For in your uniqueness, your wisdom yearns. Let not the echoes of comparison sway,
Stay true to yourself, come what may.
Your footsteps resound with a rhythm divine,
Guiding you forward, your destiny to define. In the silence of solitude, find your voice,
Let it echo through valleys, let it rejoice.
For in walking your path, you'll discover the key,
To unlocking the essence of who you're meant to be. So walk with conviction, walk with grace,
Embrace your truth, your own special place.
For in every step taken, in every mile,
You'll find within you, the strength to smile. Onward, adventurer, on this journey grand,
Embrace the unknown, with open hand.
For the path you walk is uniquely your own,
A testament to the seeds you have sown. So walk your own path, with head held high,
And watch as your spirit begins to fly.
For in the tapestry of life, you'll see at last,
The beauty of walking your own path, steadfast. "Be present. Be incredible.

We become very petty about things that really don't matter. Quite frankly, we don't like who we see in the mirror, but have no reason why. We don't look for silver linings, only the ripped ones. We see what we are comfortable with because we know what to expect. But where does that get us? Drowning on dry land. How can we be the cream that rises to the top? How can we live out our purpose if all we see is what we think we are supposed to believe?

Life is complicated. Life is beautiful. Yet, it is a life where you get to make some tough decisions. Stay where you are or move to higher ground.

Are you drowning on dry land? What do your days look and feel like? Are you coping with what you know because that's where you're comfortable? Change turns everything upside down. And if you want something different, you must be willing to get on another roller coaster. That's life! Certainly, you can stay where you are. But let me ask you this: How has that been working for you lately? Is this the life you are meant to live? You can ask this in all circumstances and situations, from relationships to careers to school. All of life requires you to see it from either a scarcity mindset or an abundance mindset. You get to choose. You get to show up the way you fill up your cup, meaning your heart.  Where your head and heart connect is where you live. Are you living the way God desires for you? Or are you settling for less? It's time to rise above and embrace a mindset of abundance and possibility. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace a mindset of abundance and possibility! Here are three powerful ways to break free from the thoughts that hold you back and open your mind to endless possibilities:

1. Practice Gratitude: Start each day by focusing on what you are grateful for. By acknowledging the positives in your life, no matter how small, you shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance. Gratitude helps you see the silver linings and empowers you to approach challenges with a positive outlook.

2. Challenge Your Beliefs: Take a closer look at the beliefs that are limiting you. Are they based on fear or past experiences? Challenge these beliefs by asking yourself if they are serving your growth and happiness. Replace negative beliefs with empowering thoughts that align with your goals and aspirations.

3. Embrace Change and Growth: Life is a journey of constant evolution. Instead of staying in your comfort zone, be willing to embrace change and push yourself to grow. Step out of familiar patterns and explore new opportunities that can lead you to higher ground. Embracing change opens up a world of possibilities and helps you break free from the confines of a scarcity mindset.

Remember, life is too short to stay stuck in a cycle of negativity and limitation. By practicing gratitude, challenging your beliefs, and embracing change, you can leave behind the thoughts that trap and restrict you, and open your mind to a world of endless possibilities. Nothing is impossible! Break free from the cycle of drowning on dry land and start living a life filled with purpose and passion all because of your presence. "Be present. Be incredible.

And when it does, the game of love can be over before it really started. The arguments, the disagreements. The late nights for one who's the night owl, and the other who turns in early. Opposites do attract, but they shouldn't show up on a scoreboard. So what does your marriage look like? Does one of you keep score more than the other? Do you both do it equally?  Shifting the blame doesn't change the game. You have to decide if the scoreboard is where you should focus. And if you want something different and truly a gamechanger, you've gotta embrace connection over competition. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace connection over competition! Here are three vital strategies to shift focus away from the scoreboard and toward the heart of the matter:

1. Practice Gratitude: Instead of tallying up shortcomings or mistakes, make a conscious effort to appreciate and acknowledge the efforts and intentions of your spouse. Expressing gratitude fosters a positive and supportive environment, nurturing connection and understanding.

2. Cultivate Empathy: Put yourself in your spouse's shoes and seek to understand their perspective and emotions. By empathizing with their feelings and experiences, you can build a deeper level of emotional intimacy and strengthen your bond.

3. Prioritize Communication: Instead of keeping a mental scoreboard of grievances, prioritize open and honest communication with your spouse. Create a safe space for sharing thoughts, feelings, and concerns, fostering a sense of mutual respect and understanding.

As the NCAA March Madness Tournament unfolds, remember that true champions are not determined by scores alone. It's the unwavering support, unity, and belief in each other that elevate a team to greatness. In your marriage, strive to always be the team at the top – united, resilient, and focused on the heart of the matter. Let your love be the victory that transcends all scores, leading you to a place of enduring connection and joy. At the Top of the Heart by Kristianne Wargo In the grand arena of hearts, where emotions swirl,  
Beyond the confines of wins and losses, unfurl.  
Let not the scores dictate our love's sweet dance,  
But the depth of our connection, our enduring romance.   In the symphony of souls, let empathy play,  
Understanding and compassion guiding our way.  
For in acknowledging each other's highs and lows,  
We foster a love that eternally grows.   Communication, the key to unlocking hearts' doors,  
In its open embrace, understanding soars.  
Speak truths, share fears, let vulnerabilities show,  
In this sacred space, our love will glow.   As the March Madness tournament captivates the nation,  
Let us be inspired by its jubilation.  
For in the game of love, we are each other's team,  
United in love, following a shared dream.   So let the scoreboard fade, the numbers blur,  
In the realm of love, it's our connection that's pure.  
Champions not by points, but by the heart,  
Together we stand, never to part.   In the symphony of souls, in love's sweet art,  
We'll always be the team at the top of the heart. "Be present. Be incredible.

And when it does, the game of love can be over before it really started. The arguments, the disagreements. The late nights for one who's the night owl, and the other who turns in early. Opposites do attract, but they shouldn't show up on a scoreboard. So what does your marriage look like? Does one of you keep score more than the other? Do you both do it equally?  Shifting the blame doesn't change the game. You have to decide if the scoreboard is where you should focus. And if you want something different and truly a gamechanger, you've gotta embrace connection over competition. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace connection over competition! Here are three vital strategies to shift focus away from the scoreboard and toward the heart of the matter:

Not breaking bad habits can have detrimental effects on various aspects of one's life. Here are some reasons why one might hesitate to break bad habits: 1. Comfort Zone: Bad habits often provide comfort and familiarity, making it challenging to step out of the routine and embrace change. 2. Fear of Failure: Breaking bad habits can be daunting, and the fear of relapsing or not succeeding may discourage individuals from even trying. 3. Instant Gratification: Bad habits often offer immediate gratification or relief, outweighing the long-term consequences they may have on health and well-being. 4. Lack of Awareness: Some individuals may not fully understand or acknowledge the negative impact of their bad habits, leading to complacency. 5. Lack of Support: Breaking bad habits may require support from friends, family, or professionals. Without a support system, individuals may find it difficult to make sustainable changes. 6. Emotional Attachments: Some bad habits are deeply rooted in emotions or psychological triggers, making them harder to overcome without addressing underlying issues. Why Break Bad Habits: Studies have shown that bad habits, such as smoking, excessive sugar consumption, or a sedentary lifestyle, can have detrimental effects on overall health. For example, smoking is linked to various health issues, including lung cancer and heart disease, while excessive sugar intake can lead to obesity and diabetes. Breaking these habits can significantly reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and improve quality of life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the old and create the new! Three Strategies to Break Bad Habits and Replace Them with Good Ones:

1. Identify Triggers and Create a Plan:
- Recognize the triggers that lead to engaging in the bad habit. For instance, if stress triggers the habit of unhealthy snacking, find alternative stress-relief activities like meditation or going for a walk.
- Develop a detailed plan to address triggers. If late-night snacking is a problem, plan and prepare healthy snacks like cut-up veggies or fruit to curb cravings.

2. Start Small and Stay Consistent:
- Break the habit into smaller manageable steps. For example, if the goal is to reduce soda intake, start by replacing one soda with a glass of water per day.
- Consistency is key to forming new habits. Set specific, achievable goals and track progress. Celebrate small victories along the way to stay motivated.

3. Find Healthy Replacements:
- Replace the bad habit with a healthier alternative. If mindless scrolling on social media is a habit, swap that time with reading a book or going for a workout.
- Make healthy choices readily available. Stock up on nutritious foods, sign up for fitness classes, or join a support group to stay on track.

Breaking bad habits requires commitment, determination, and resilience. By understanding the impact of unhealthy habits on overall health and implementing strategies to break them, you can have a better tomorrow.  Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes today for a healthier tomorrow.

Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before you know it, years have slipped through your fingers. The culprit? Overreliance on motivation.

Motivation is a fair-weather friend; it shows up when things are going well but vanishes when challenges arise. That's why those who consistently succeed don't rely on motivation alone; they rely on discipline and systems that keep them on track, regardless of how they feel.

Winners understand that motivation is fleeting, but discipline is enduring. By establishing solid structures like habits, routines, and accountability measures, they create a framework that propels them forward, even on the toughest days. The K.I.S.S. ~ Discipline is the difference! So, this week, I challenge you to ponder: What system or discipline can you implement today to make progress a habit? It's not about pushing harder than others; it's about setting yourself up for success so that falling behind becomes impossible.

You have the power to create an environment where progress isn't a struggle but a natural outcome of your efforts. By prioritizing discipline over fleeting motivation, you pave the way for sustained success.

Don't wait for motivation to strike. Instead, harness the transformative power of discipline and systems to propel you towards your goals. Today is the day to lay the foundation for your success. Embrace discipline, embrace progress, and watch as you soar to new heights.

Remember, discipline is the difference between wishing for success and achieving it. Let today mark the beginning of your disciplined journey towards greatness.

Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before you know it, years have slipped through your fingers. The culprit? Overreliance on motivation.

Motivation is a fair-weather friend; it shows up when things are going well but vanishes when challenges arise. That's why those who consistently succeed don't rely on motivation alone; they rely on discipline and systems that keep them on track, regardless of how they feel.

Winners understand that motivation is fleeting, but discipline is enduring. By establishing solid structures like habits, routines, and accountability measures, they create a framework that propels them forward, even on the toughest days. The K.I.S.S. ~ Discipline is the difference! So, this week, I challenge you to ponder: What system or discipline can you implement today to make progress a habit? It's not about pushing harder than others; it's about setting yourself up for success so that falling behind becomes impossible.

You have the power to create an environment where progress isn't a struggle but a natural outcome of your efforts. By prioritizing discipline over fleeting motivation, you pave the way for sustained success.

Don't wait for motivation to strike. Instead, harness the transformative power of discipline and systems to propel you towards your goals. Today is the day to lay the foundation for your success. Embrace discipline, embrace progress, and watch as you soar to new heights.

Remember, discipline is the difference between wishing for success and achieving it. Let today mark the beginning of your disciplined journey towards greatness.

Or have you been hiding out with your excuses because you know them all too well? And if you're comfortable, there's no reason to change. But let's get real on this beautiful day! You are created for more, destined to create your now.  So, what's driving your excuses? What makes you feel stuck and keeps you settled in that chair of comfort? Causes for Feeling Stuck:

1. Fear of Failure: The fear of not succeeding or living up to expectations can be a powerful driver of excuses. This fear can paralyze us and prevent us from taking risks or stepping outside our comfort zones. 2. Lack of Clarity: Uncertainty about our purpose or direction in life can lead to indecision and inaction. Without a clear vision of where we want to go, it's easy to get caught up in excuses and distractions. 3. Negative Self-Talk: Negative beliefs about our capabilities or worthiness can undermine our confidence and fuel self-doubt. This negative self-talk can create a barrier to pursuing our purpose with conviction. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the chains of excuses! You can break the chains of excuses when you decide to do it. Otherwise, you will keep doing what has not worked for you in the past. So what do you want? Ways to Break Free:

1. Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs: Identify and challenge the negative beliefs that are holding you back. Replace them with positive affirmations and reminders of your strengths and past achievements. 2. Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down your larger purpose into smaller, manageable goals. By taking small steps towards your vision, you can build momentum and confidence, overcoming the inertia of excuses. 3. Cultivate and Celebrate with a Supportive Environment: Surround yourself with people who believe in your potential and encourage you to pursue your purpose. Seek out mentors, coaches, or like-minded individuals who can provide guidance and accountability. One way to look at what to do next is to ask yourself: What do I want to cuddle up with? What do I value? Where do I want to be tomorrow? Don't cloud your expectations with dreams that are too big to come true tomorrow. Take the next step and create your now.

Real life creeps in, and life takes over your schedule and sometimes your heart. But if we all were to buy into this thought, no one would stay married. Everyone would find a way or reason to divorce. Yet, just like fine wine, marriage gets better with time. So what if you could have that fine marriage you really want, are you willing to put in the work and the consistency? I guess that you most certainly are!  What would that take for you to commit? To actually say every day that this is the marriage you want and the way you will go? It's all in the decision! The K.I.S.S. ~ Decide! Most of what we get doesn't come from a dream but an action. You have to decide and take AIM!   Here are three key strategies for couples to stay dedicated to each other and nurture their bond, knowing that love has the power to transform and grow:

1. Practice Active Listening: Communication is the cornerstone of a strong and healthy marriage. Take the time to truly listen to your partner without interrupting or forming your response in your mind. Show empathy, understanding, and validation towards their thoughts and feelings. By actively listening, you demonstrate respect and care for your spouse, fostering a deeper connection and trust in the relationship.

2. Prioritize Quality Time Together: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy for couples to become caught up in their individual responsibilities and neglect quality time together. Make a conscious effort to carve out moments for just the two of you to bond and connect. Whether it's a weekly date night, a weekend getaway, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, investing in shared experiences strengthens your emotional intimacy and reinforces your commitment to each other.

3. Celebrate Each Other and Your Growth: As individuals, we are constantly evolving and learning. In a marriage, it's important to support and celebrate each other's personal growth and achievements. Acknowledge and appreciate the efforts your partner makes towards self-improvement and encourage them to pursue their passions and goals. By cheering each other on and being each other's greatest cheerleader, you create a supportive and loving environment that nurtures the growth of your relationship.   Put on your big girl panties! Every day, show up filled up for your spouse. YES!!! Life is going to be crazy and chaotic. But if you do it together, it's much better than doing it alone and being hateful to each other.   Dish up a cup of love and bask in life together forever. "Be present. Be incredible.

Now, there are some basics that most parents use to balance the tightrope: prioritize self-care, practice open communication, and seek professional help.   Indeed, there is SO much more. Here are a few other things to think about.   1. Practice Patience and Understanding: Emotions may run high during challenging periods, and tensions may escalate. Parents need to practice patience and understanding, both with their children and themselves. Recognize that everyone copes differently and that it's okay to experience a range of emotions. You can create a nurturing environment that fosters healing and growth by showing empathy and understanding. Extending a hand with your heart will reach a lot deeper.

2. Encourage Positive Coping Mechanisms: Help your child develop healthy coping mechanisms to navigate complex emotions and situations. Encourage activities that promote relaxation, such as meditation, journaling, art therapy, or exercise. By empowering your children to express themselves in positive ways, you can help them build resilience and emotional strength to face challenges head-on.

3. Establish Routine and Stability: During tumultuous times, establishing a sense of routine and stability can provide comfort and security for your child. Create a predictable schedule that includes time for relaxation, connection, and self-care. Consistency in daily routines can help your child feel grounded and supported, even amidst uncertainty. Also, fostering a stable home environment can offer your child a sense of security and safety during turbulent times.

Mom (and Dad)— You can create a supportive and nurturing environment to help your child navigate tough times with resilience and strength.

Setbacks are real. However, setbacks are not roadblocks; they are merely detours on the path to your destiny. Remember, I've gotten ill a few times this year, but that hasn't deterred me from what I am doing here at Create Your Now. Yes, it has slowed some projects, but I still keep going. Instead of being discouraged by setbacks, see them as opportunities for your comebacks. Each setback is a stepping stone— think of it as a bouncing ball that propels you closer to where you want to be. A setback can put a spring in your step if you let it. So embrace the challenges. Look at them as what they are, nothing more or nothing less. "Don't attach your heart to the outcome of your failure." ~ Kristianne Wargo That's where your resilience muscle grows. 

While it may seem like all this is good and well, time still is not on your side. Yet, time is merely a tool in your hands. It's not a limitation but a resource to be managed wisely. You can make the most of every moment by prioritizing your tasks, setting boundaries, and focusing on what truly matters. Use time as a tool, not as an excuse, to break the mold. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the mold! But here's the reality. When setbacks and delays test your patience, take a deep breath and recall that God's timing is perfect. You have got to remind yourself of God's watch, not yours.  Trust in His plan for your life, knowing that each delay is part of a greater design. Your dreams are not forgotten; they are simply unfolding according to His divine timing. Have faith, stay steadfast, and believe that everything will fall into place at the right moment.

Despite the challenges and setbacks, never lose sight of the purpose burning within your heart. Your dreams are worth pursuing with unwavering passion and your presence. Let your passion be the fuel that propels your purpose forward, driving you to break the mold and reach new heavenly heights here on earth.

As you navigate through the challenges and busyness of your day, remember that you are destined for greatness. Your watch is yelling at you that it's time to break the mold! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Yet, deep within your heart, you know you are meant to break the mold. You are made for more! You...Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com But I get it. Setbacks are real. However, setbacks are not roadblocks; they are merely detours on the path to your destiny. Remember, I've gotten ill a few times this year, but that hasn't deterred me from what I am doing here at Create Your Now. Yes, it has slowed some projects, but I still keep going. Instead of being discouraged by setbacks, see them as opportunities for your comebacks. Each setback is a stepping stone— think of it as a bouncing ball that propels you closer to where you want to be. A setback can put a spring in your step if you let it. So embrace the challenges. Look at them as what they are, nothing more or nothing less. "Don't attach your heart to the outcome of your failure." ~ Kristianne Wargo That's where your resilience muscle grows.

Are you pressed for time? Are your finances holding you back? Do your excuses make it easier to not do what you know you need to do? Maybe the pain isn't significant enough and the status quo is okay for now.  But how are you going to feel 2 days from now, or 2 weeks, or 2 months? If you want to live healthy and enjoy life more, having boundaries and making yourself a priority this Spring is the best way to rock your new season! The K.I.S.S. ~ Rock your new season! Here are three simple strategies to help prioritize healthy living even when life gets busy:

1. Set Realistic Goals: Begin by setting achievable and realistic goals for yourself. Whether it's committing to a 30-minute workout, preparing homemade meals instead of ordering takeout, or getting a good night's sleep, setting specific goals can help you stay on track even during hectic days.

2. Create a Routine: Establishing a daily routine that includes healthy habits can make it easier to prioritize your health. Schedule your workouts or meal prep sessions at the same time each day to create consistency. Having a routine can help you stay organized and ensure that healthy choices become a natural part of your day.

3. Practice Self-Care: Remember that taking care of yourself is essential for overall well-being. Incorporate self-care activities such as meditation, pilates, yoga, or simply taking a few moments to unwind and relax. By prioritizing self-care, you can reduce stress, improve your mental health, and make healthier choices throughout the day.

By approaching each day as a new season and embracing the opportunity for growth and positive change, you can make healthy living a priority even when life gets busy.   Remember, every small choice you make contributes to your overall health and well-being. So, take it one day at a time.   "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo   Let your commitment this spring blossom into a healthier lifestyle. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's your presence that counts. By tuning into and aligning with your inner vibe, you can achieve a sense of flow and balance that propels you toward your goals.

It's all too common to push ourselves beyond our limits when we're riding high on motivation, only to crash hard when the energy fades. Likewise, during moments of depletion, we may beat ourselves up for not being as productive as we think we "should" be. But what if we viewed these ebbs and flows as natural cycles that can be harnessed for our benefit? The K.I.S.S. ~ Match your energy! When you're buzzing with energy, seize the moment to tackle tasks that require focus and drive. Harness this momentum to make strides toward your ambitions, knowing that you're in sync with yourself. And when your energy wanes, instead of fighting against it, pivot toward activities that nourish and restore you. Take breaks, practice self-care, and recharge your batteries so that when the energy surges anew, you'll be ready to ride the wave once more.

By matching your energy, you not only honor your internal rhythms but you also cultivate a sense of self-awareness and compassion. You learn to listen to your body and mind, giving yourself the grace to ebb and flow with the tide of life. So, how are you feeling today? Remember to match your energy when you feel the tides of energy shifting within you. Trust in the power of finding harmony within yourself, and watch as you navigate life's currents with grace and intention. "Be present. Be incredible.

But how come we can't kick the voices in our heads that are destructive and dismantling our well-being? We sacrifice ourselves for the sake of others' lies?!? And for what?

They create new records to be broken. But it all comes from them getting in the game! Here are three powerful strategies to help you get in the game of life:

1. Cultivate Self-Compassion:
- Practice mindfulness and self-awareness to recognize when self-doubt creeps in.
- Replace self-criticism with self-compassion by speaking to yourself as you would to a friend in need.
- Celebrate your victories, no matter how big or small, and acknowledge your worthiness.

2. Channel Your Passion:
- Identify your passions and interests to fuel your drive and enthusiasm.
- Set inspiring goals that align with your values and aspirations.
- Surround yourself with supportive individuals who uplift and encourage your passions.

3. Take Purposeful Action:
- Break down daunting tasks into smaller, manageable steps to prevent overwhelm.
- Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.
- Stay committed to your goals by staying focused on your "why" and the positive impact you can make. You get to choose how you show up every day. What will today be like? "Be present. Be incredible.

Here, we see that even in the midst of suffering, there is a greater purpose at play - one that is rooted in glorifying God and His work in our lives.

Similarly, in Romans 8:28, we are reminded that "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." This verse serves as a beacon of hope for those feeling lost in the chaos, reassuring us that God is working in and through our struggles to bring about something good and transformative. The K.I.S.S. ~ So that! So that you can move beyond the earthly failures and see the heavenly blessings here on earth. As we navigate the challenges and messiness of life, it is important to hold fast to the truth of 1 Peter 4:12-13, which says, "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed." This passage reminds us that our suffering is not in vain but serves a greater purpose in revealing God's glory in our lives.

So, to the one who finds themselves surrounded by chaos and disappointment, take heart in knowing that your mess is not the end of the story. There is a "so that" waiting to unfold, where God's glory will shine through and bring about beauty from ashes. Rest in the assurance that you are His beloved child, and He is faithfully working all things together for your good.

In the words of 2 Corinthians 4:17, "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." Let this truth be a source of encouragement and strength as you journey through the chaos, knowing that the God of all comfort is with you every step of the way. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the words of 2 Corinthians 4:17, "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." Let this truth be a source of encouragement and strength as you journey through the chaos, knowing that the God of all comfort is with you every step of the way. "Be present. Be incredible.

• Fear of Rejection: Spouses may hesitate to ask for help or communicate their needs out of fear of being rejected or judged by their partner.
• Assumption of Mind-Reading: Some spouses may believe that their partner should intuitively know what they need without having to explicitly ask for it, leading to miscommunication and unmet expectations.
• Guilt or Shame: Feelings of guilt or shame can prevent spouses from reaching out for assistance, as they may perceive themselves as burdensome or inadequate for needing help.
• Lack of Prioritization: Balancing household responsibilities, work commitments, and other obligations can make it difficult for spouses to prioritize communication about their needs and seek the support they require.
• Communication Barriers: Poor communication skills or unresolved conflicts within the relationship can create barriers to effectively expressing needs and asking for help.
• Independence: Some spouses may have a strong sense of independence and struggle to show vulnerability or rely on others for assistance, leading to a reluctance to communicate their needs.

Do you identify with any of these? And maybe you have thought of others. Understanding these pain points can help you overcome barriers to effective communication and create a more open and supportive marriage built on trust, empathy, and mutual understanding. However, if you are going to get anywhere with communication, you've got to speak up and ask! The K.I.S.S. ~ Speak up and ask! Don't assume that your spouse is going to read your mind. I've been married and together for over 35 years now, and he still cannot read my mind. Now, I can read his mind, LOL! But that doesn't change the fact that we still need to feel comfortable, safe, and secure in sharing our thoughts, feelings, and needs with the one we love most. Come on, let's be real! Here are three ways to cultivate the courage to speak up and ask for what you need:

1. Set Aside Time for Honest Conversations: Create a safe space where you and your spouse can have open and honest discussions about your needs and expectations. Schedule regular check-ins to address any concerns or requests for support. By establishing clear communication channels, you can build trust and understanding in your relationship.

2. Practice Self-Advocacy: Recognize that it's okay to prioritize your well-being and ask for help when necessary. Practice self-advocacy by acknowledging your own needs and vocalizing them to your partner. Remember that a healthy relationship is based on mutual support and cooperation, so don't hesitate to express your concerns or ask for assistance.

3. Frame Requests Positively: When asking for help, frame your requests in a positive and constructive manner. Instead of focusing on what your spouse isn't doing, highlight how their assistance would benefit both of you. By emphasizing the positive outcomes of their support, you can encourage a collaborative approach to problem-solving and strengthen your bond as a couple.

By cultivating the courage to speak up and ask for help in your relationship, you can foster a deeper connection with your spouse and create a more supportive and harmonious partnership. Remember, it's not a sign of weakness to seek assistance – it's a testament to your strength and commitment to building a healthy and fulfilling marriage because you care about each other. Asking takes courage. So, go and do it! "Be present. Be incredible.

Trust your gut feelings and convictions when making tough decisions, even if they seem difficult in the moment. Remember, tough love today can pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.

2. Stay Committed to Long-Term Goals: Parenting is a long-term investment in shaping the future of your children. Keep your eyes on the bigger picture and remind yourself that the challenges you tackle today are paving the way for your child’s growth and development. Maintain a balance between short-term discomfort and long-term benefits.

3. Seek Support and Guidance: Parenting is not a solitary journey. When faced with tough decisions, reach out to other parents, mentors, or professionals for advice and support. Sharing experiences and gaining insights from others can boost your confidence and help you stay committed to doing what it takes for your child’s well-being.

Remember, being a parent is a journey of growth and learning, both for you and your child. Embracing tough love when necessary is a part of that journey, shaping resilient, responsible, and compassionate individuals.

1. Plan Ahead:
- Create a weekly meal plan that balances nutritious meals and snacks.
- Prepare healthy ingredients in advance to reduce the temptation of ordering takeout or grabbing processed foods.
- Consider meal prepping on weekends to have healthy options readily available during busy weekdays.

2. Choose Mindfully:
- Pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.
- Opt for whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
- Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, chewing slowly, and enjoying the flavors and textures of your food.

3. Stay Hydrated:
- Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to support digestion and overall health.
- Limit sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal teas, or infused water for hydration.
- Incorporate hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens into your meals to increase your water intake. ***Try drinking a whole lemon every day. Drinking lemon water daily can offer several health benefits, including boosting your immune system with vitamin C, aiding digestion, and promoting hydration. It may also help prevent kidney stones and potentially support weight loss efforts.

Move past what you're complaining about and do something you can actually take action on.  It's not about having all the answers. That will NEVER happen!

Worrying about the what-ifs and should-haves, could-haves, and would-haves is ridiculous, too!

Unknowns flood your head and heart, interfering with what's right in front of you. Stop fighting what you don't know. Let me ask you the obvious question: Where is that...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Why would anyone want to repeat what isn't working? Look at your situation or circumstance from the perspective of what you can control. If you try to control the entire situation, you will drive yourself into a corner of betrayal, shame, and bitterness. There's no way around it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop fighting what you don't know! Move past what you're complaining about and do something you can actually take action on.  It's not about having all the answers. That will NEVER happen! But what you can do to be engaged, excited, and enthralled in the possibilities is to stop fighting all the unknowns. The battle will not be won on the field of unknowns. Give yourself the space to decide and then take A.I.M. on that decision.  You stewing over stuff you can't control and the things that you have no idea how it will turn out doesn't make a bit of sense. You are made for more. You are made to shine. You are made to rise to the top. Create your now. Not in the manner of winning via more worry, but certainly winning by your completed next steps. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Where do I say that one step to more worry leads to more winning?!? That is plain backward and lacks common sense. Worrying about the what-ifs and should-haves, could-haves, and would-haves is ridiculous, too! Worry and indecision invade your confidence, keeping you stuck rather than moving forward.  If you want to stay in the game of life and impact the world you touch, stop fighting what you don't know.

Little did he know that his life's path would lead him on a journey of faith, perseverance, and profound transformation, ultimately earning him the title of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. At the tender age of 16, Maewyn's world was turned upside down when he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to the rugged shores of Ireland. Amidst the hardship and toil of slavery, Maewyn found solace in his faith, turning to God for strength and guidance. It was during this time of captivity that he discovered the power of prayer and the resilience of the human spirit. After six years of servitude, a divine revelation inspired Maewyn to flee his captors and seek refuge in the land of his birth. Restored to freedom, he felt a calling, a purpose stirring within his heart. Guided by a vision, Maewyn embarked on a spiritual quest that would forever alter the course of his life. Taking on the name Patrick, meaning "noble" or "fatherly," he embraced his newfound identity and devoted himself to the Christian faith. Patrick's faith was unwavering, his fervor unyielding as he traveled back to Ireland, not as a captive, but as a missionary of God's word. "Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me." ~ St. Patrick In a land steeped in ancient traditions and pagan beliefs, Patrick fearlessly preached the message of Christianity, drawing crowds with his words of love, forgiveness, and redemption. Miracles were attributed to him, and hearts were transformed by his teachings. Through his evangelism, Patrick baptized thousands, establishing churches and monasteries across the Irish landscape. Symbols of Patrick's ministry abounded - from the iconic shamrock that he used to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, to the legendary tale of banishing serpents from the land, symbolizing the eradication of pagan rituals. His legacy lived on in the hearts of the Irish people, who revered him as a beacon of faith and a symbol of unity. As the years passed, St. Patrick's story became woven into the fabric of Irish history, his name synonymous with the spread of Christianity and the enduring spirit of the Emerald Isle. His life, marked by challenges, successes, and unwavering devotion, serves as a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the transformative impact one individual can have on the world. St. Patrick's legacy endures as a timeless tale of courage, redemption, and the boundless grace of God. The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith and works go hand in hand! "Faith and works are like the light and heat of a candle. You need both to see by." ~ St. Patrick Here are three practical things you can do to embrace change and growth inspired by St. Patrick:

1. Practice Adaptability:
Just as St. Patrick navigated his journey from captivity to becoming a missionary, embrace changes in your life with an open mind. Be adaptable and willing to step out of your comfort zone to embrace new opportunities for growth.

2. Cultivate Resilience:
Draw strength from challenges, just as St. Patrick found resilience through his faith. View setbacks as opportunities for learning and personal development. Remember that true growth often stems from overcoming obstacles.

3. Seek Support and Guidance:
St. Patrick's unwavering faith was a source of guidance and strength for him. Surround yourself with a supportive community or mentor who can provide guidance, encouragement, and perspective as you navigate periods of change and growth. "Be present. Be incredible.

So, what does your reality look like? In fact, let me ask you a more challenging question. What does your night feel like? The darker the night, there's a flood of emotions and feelings. It's almost as if the night brings out the monster feelings we attempt to ignore during the day. With a restless sleep and a weary heart, it's so tough to make it. But somehow you do, and then the sun rises. You rinse and repeat because that's what you know. But married life is not intended to be something you hate and despise. It does require work connecting two hearts. And that doesn't come easy. However, it can be accomplished. You just have to be willing to uncover what is hidden. The K.I.S.S. ~ Uncover what is hidden! And for the most part, what is hidden is you! Maybe you think it's better to stay quiet and reserved with your words instead of speaking up and letting your voice be heard.  I want you to keep in mind that marriage is a two-way street. It takes two to have a marriage where you grow together, encourage each other, and live life well. If anyone tells you differently, they are telling a fib! But you don't have to settle for where you are right now. If you want a marriage in which two people can do life together well, it can be you!! Yet, it comes with a cost. You must uncover what is hidden.

1. Acknowledge Your Hurt - This can be a particular situation that was a one and done. Or it might be a pattern of actions that repeat themselves quite frequently with your spouse. What matters is that if it is bothering you and thoughts pop up regularly, there is something there.
2. Express Yourself with Care - If you choose to hold onto hurts, they will not only destroy your marriage but also you! So, share your thoughts and feelings with your spouse. If it is something that you believe will set your spouse off in the a negative direction, be sure you share with someone you feel safe with. You don't have to do it alone. *And if you are in physical danger, please seek help!
3. Forgive to move forward - You can do all the stuff, but if you are not willing to forgive your spouse, then it will lead to bitterness for you! And bitterness truly sucks the life out of you. If you think you have it bad now, when you hit the rock bottom of bitterness, it can be so emotionally and psychologically destructive. It tears you up from the inside out! But you can overcome knowing that both of you are coming together and willing to work together.

If you can get professional help, I would highly encourage it. And gentlemen, if you are listening, be a man and go too! If you want this to work, remember it takes two! I want you to think about this episode as a way to change what you don't want so you can have what you dreamed of for your marriage. "Be present. Be incredible.

Yet, because we want to be that endearing parent who gives our kids what we didn't have, we try to approach situations and circumstances with a reasonable twist. But they can't reason! Their brains have not fully developed.  And, of course, you have to consider the situation and the appropriate actions. Life is ridiculous for parents, and it doesn't get easier the older they get.  What I can tell you that works best is that you are the parent, so be the parent! The K.I.S.S. ~ Be the parent! That means you have to be the adult in the situation. You have to look at how you need to respond based on the severity, or lack thereof, and determine your next steps, especially when it comes to discipline. There are consequences in life, good or bad. Raising your kids to understand that they can get away with whatever, and there are no consequences, only sets them up for future failures and greater falls. You were given your children to raise them up to be productive human beings, not to be their best friend. Plus, you're not grandma and grandpa. They've earned the right to spoil; you have the right to discipline! So, be the parent! 1. Examine the situation for what it is. There is nothing worse than overreacting! Instead of being overly dramatic or monstrous in your reaction, take a deep breath and see the situation. Don't read into the what-ifs. Gather the facts and know the potential fallout. So long as everyone is safe, that is what counts first. Then, take the next step. 2. Choose your words wisely. When we are pushed to the limits and stressed without preparation, it's easy to jump into survival mode. Yet, being a parent requires regulated and calculated conversations. If it can wait until morning (assuming the incident happens at night), then maybe that would be better for all involved. However, if the situation calls for a "911" response by you, then think before you open your mouth. Otherwise, it might end up being a foot-in-the-mouth moment. Not good. So, choose your words wisely. 3. Know the lesson they need to learn. If you can approach the circumstance with the knowledge of what they need to get out of the mess, that will bring a sense of balance to a stressful situation. And then, you can prepare how you want to lead them into making a wiser decision, so they don't make the same mistake again.  Certainly, you have to survey the situation. But also, don't be afraid to be firm. Life is precious and so are your children. Teaching them the way to go is one of the greatest responsibilities that we have as parents. Yes, we want to give our kiddos what we didn't have, but don't let them make the same mistakes you did. As parents, we get to break the generational mishaps and make life more meaningful. Who wants to continue stuff that isn't good? Our parents did their best, and as time goes on, we can also do better. Giving that incredible gift to your child allows you to say no without guilt.

We want to give our kids what we didn't have, but at what cost and to what extremes? At some point, you must embrace how to say no without guilt. Because can you really reason with a child, no matter their age? ...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Absolutely not!! Yet, because we want to be that endearing parent who gives our kids what we didn't have, we try to approach situations and circumstances with a reasonable twist. But they can't reason! Their brains have not fully developed.  And, of course, you have to consider the situation and the appropriate actions. Life is ridiculous for parents, and it doesn't get easier the older they get.  What I can tell you that works best is that you are the parent, so be the parent! The K.I.S.S. ~ Be the parent! That means you have to be the adult in the situation. You have to look at how you need to respond based on the severity, or lack thereof, and determine your next steps, especially when it comes to discipline. There are consequences in life, good or bad. Raising your kids to understand that they can get away with whatever, and there are no consequences, only sets them up for future failures and greater falls. You were given your children to raise them up to be productive human beings, not to be their best friend. Plus, you're not grandma and grandpa. They've earned the right to spoil; you have the right to discipline! So, be the parent! 1. Examine the situation for what it is. There is nothing worse than overreacting! Instead of being overly dramatic or monstrous in your reaction, take a deep breath and see the situation. Don't read into the what-ifs. Gather the facts and know the potential fallout. So long as everyone is safe, that is what counts first. Then, take the next step. 2. Choose your words wisely. When we are pushed to the limits and stressed without preparation, it's easy to jump into survival mode. Yet, being a parent requires regulated and calculated conversations. If it can wait until morning (assuming the incident happens at night), then maybe that would be better for all involved. However, if the situation calls for a "911" response by you, then think before you open your mouth. Otherwise, it might end up being a foot-in-the-mouth moment. Not good. So, choose your words wisely. 3. Know the lesson they need to learn. If you can approach the circumstance with the knowledge of what they need to get out of the mess, that will bring a sense of balance to a stressful situation. And then, you can prepare how you want to lead them into making a wiser decision, so they don't make the same mistake again.  Certainly, you have to survey the situation. But also, don't be afraid to be firm. Life is precious and so are your children. Teaching them the way to go is one of the greatest responsibilities that we have as parents. Yes, we want to give our kiddos what we didn't have, but don't let them make the same mistakes you did. As parents, we get to break the generational mishaps and make life more meaningful. Who wants to continue stuff that isn't good? Our parents did their best, and as time goes on, we can also do better. Giving that incredible gift to your child allows you to say no without guilt.

And that means your work happens first before they work. Imagine the Body Pod by Hume Health, the Oura Ring Gen 4, Fitbit or Apple watch, CGMs (continuous glucose monitors), workout apps, food trackers, fitness equipment, and everything in between. There is so much to choose from, but are the serving you well, or should you even invest in them? Some of the things to consider when using fitness gadgets: 1. Inaccurate Data: Fitness gadgets may not always provide entirely accurate data, leading to misinterpretation of your health and fitness progress. Depending solely on this data can result in false assumptions about your activity levels, calorie burn, and overall well-being. 2. Overreliance on Technology: Relying too heavily on fitness gadgets can potentially detach individuals from intuitive listening to their bodies. Ignoring internal cues and prioritizing external data can lead to unhealthy habits or exercise behaviors that are not sustainable in the long run. 3. False Sense of Achievement: Constantly chasing after step counts or calorie goals set by fitness gadgets can create a false sense of achievement. This mindset may overlook other essential aspects of healthy living, such as proper nutrition, rest, and mental well-being, leading to an imbalanced approach to overall health. 4. Dependency on Motivation: While fitness gadgets can provide motivation and accountability, solely relying on them for motivation can be risky. If the gadget malfunctions or if the novelty wears off, you may struggle to stay consistent with your healthy living habits without external prompts. 5. Privacy and Security Concerns: Fitness gadgets collect a vast amount of personal data, including activity levels, sleep patterns, and sometimes even location information. Relying on these gadgets means entrusting sensitive information to technology that might not always guarantee the highest level of privacy and security, posing potential risks to personal data protection. There's a ton of stuff with all the stuff. If you want to use the latest and greatest fitness gadgets, you need to separate fact from fiction. The K.I.S.S. ~ Separate fact from fiction! You cannot believe everything you read, or you will not succeed. Your health takes personal ownership. Only you can do the work to ensure that what you're doing actually benefits you health-wise.  So what does it look like in real life? 1. Be Realistic with Expectations If you are solely dependent on fitness gadgets, set your goals accordingly. Keep in mind that the gadgets are constructed for the average person. And if you're not average, it won't work as well for you.  2. Know what you need Use your resources when it comes to your health. Talk to your medical provider, personal trainer, spouse, or coach. Get "live" interaction with what you're doing and the reason for doing so. Also, be sure to read the reviews if you are purchasing something. Research goes a long way. 3. Use what you purchase All the bells and whistles will not melt your problems away. You have to put in the work and use what you purchase to assist in the goals you set for yourself. Remember, you are the boss, not the fitness gadget. Personally, I do believe fitness gadgets are fabulous, but your mindset will get you farther than any latest fitness gadget. Be wise where you spend your money. Your mind and body don't see the money; they only respond to your actions. Time to take A.I.M.! "Be present. Be incredible.

And let me just say, it has nothing to do with how crazy you are. What you think about yourself, you will live out. My good friend, Marianne Renner, has a brand new book coming out in May 2025 called "Self-Talk: 10 Stories You Tell Yourself that Hold You Back." It's the real deal in life when we get in our own way. If we're up in our heads proclaiming that something is not going to work, you're not good enough, or some other hateful thought, if you keep repeating it, you keep believing it. And how unfair to you and your dreams!  You matter. Your dreams matter. Your purpose matters. But if you are not willing to do what it takes to make the change, you are going to stay right where you are. So, today, I will assume that you want something different in life. And in order to live that out, you have to master your attitude with your mind. The K.I.S.S. ~ Master your attitude with your mind! Imagine a life where you can navigate challenges with grace, overcome obstacles with resilience, and approach each day with positivity. Now, it's not all about affirmations and declarations. This is not about foo-foo and woo-woo. This is the real deal to make a difference in your life so you can impact the world that you touch. And it all begins with mastering your attitude through the incredible power of your mind. As we know, research has shown that our attitudes and beliefs can rewire our brains. When we choose to adopt a positive attitude, our brain releases neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, promoting feelings of happiness and well-being. This neurological process reinforces the importance of cultivating a positive mindset. However, it doesn't stop there. You still have to do the work with the thoughts that are in your mind. They don't magically disappear. If only we could wave a magic wand. LOL 😂 How you speak to yourself internally plays a crucial role in shaping your attitudes. By practicing positive self-talk and affirmations, you can reprogram your mind to focus on solutions rather than problems. As Louise Hay famously said, "You have the power to heal your life, and you need to remember this power lies within you." 1. Embrace a Growth Mindset: Psychologist Carol Dweck's research on the growth mindset highlights the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. By embracing a growth mindset, we can shift our attitudes from fear of failure to embracing learning and development. Think of the type of mindset in the direction you want to go. You can stay "fixed" or you can transition to a "growth" mindset. Do you want to stay where you are or move forward? 2. Practice Gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude has been linked to improved mental health and overall well-being. By expressing gratitude for the present moment and the blessings in your life, you can shift your focus from scarcity to abundance. Gratitude stretches your attitude, for it's genuinely a fortitude. Your presence matters. Stay in the moment and see the possibilities, not the problems.

3. Set Intentions: When you set clear intentions, it aligns your thoughts and actions toward your goals. Dream a little bigger and then put some extra thoughts behind the dream. Visiualize what can be done in the season you are in. As you give yourself permission to see what's possible, you can set your next steps into action with intention. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo You can shape your reality and experience a life filled with purpose and passion because of your presence. Create your now!

Imagine a life where you can navigate challenges with grace, overcome obstacles with resilience, and approach each day with positivity. Now, it's not all about affirmations and declarations. This is not about foo-foo and woo-woo. This is the real deal to make a difference in your life so you can impact the world that you touch. And it all begins with mastering your attitude through the incredible power of your mind. As we know, research has shown that our attitudes and beliefs can rewire our brains. When we choose to adopt a positive attitude, our brain releases neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, promoting feelings of happiness and well-being. This neurological process reinforces the importance of cultivating a positive mindset. However, it doesn't stop there. You still have to do the work with the thoughts that are in your mind. They don't magically disappear. If only we could wave a magic wand. LOL 😂 How you speak to yourself internally plays a crucial role in shaping your attitudes. By practicing positive self-talk and affirmations, you can reprogram your mind to focus on solutions rather than problems. As Louise Hay famously said, "You have the power to heal your life, and you need to remember this power lies within you." 1. Embrace a Growth Mindset: Psychologist Carol Dweck's research on the growth mindset highlights the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. By embracing a growth mindset, we can shift our attitudes from fear of failure to embracing learning and development. Think of the type of mindset in the direction you want to go. You can stay "fixed" or you can transition to a "growth" mindset. Do you want to stay where you are or move forward? 2. Practice Gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude has been linked to improved mental health and overall well-being. By expressing gratitude for the present moment and the blessings in your life, you can shift your focus from scarcity to abundance. Gratitude stretches your attitude, for it's genuinely a fortitude. Your presence matters.

So many things piling up around us that we feel like we are coming to a breaking point. However, I want to remind you that you are not alone.  He is there for you ALL the time. Now, you might say that you disagree because you don't have the answers you want. Yet, God is still there even when you don't get what you want. Sounds all too familiar when raising kids, right? We tell them no they can't do something or have something, and they whine, walk away mad, wishing they had a different parent. We can kind of be like that with God. But I want to encourage you today: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." ~ Psalm 46:1 The K.I.S.S. ~ God is your refuge! By now, you've probably heard about my diagnosis of double pneumonia after the first of the new year. It was not good, mainly because I had no energy. And for a woman who is always on the go, that was a kick in the pants. I get tired or exhausted because of what I do, but not because of an illness.  So unfair. Yet that was just the beginning.  In February, we had a cold spell that took our temperatures down to 10 degrees with a wind chill at times below zero. If you're in the south, that is not the temperature you want. Plus, stuff happens when it freezes.  Well, you know all about the forced renovations inside. But I get a call while at a conference that we are having troubles with the pool. Bubbles are happening outside. I am a day from arriving home, and all I can do is watch a video and see what's going on. I call my pool man, and he says, "You've got a leak!"  Can I just say I have PTSD from water?!?  We had the crew come out and emergently winterize our pool to protect any of the working lines. There was no guarantee what was wrong, but something was WRONG!! After arriving home, we had to keep the ice from getting too thick to keep the water lines open and free from a freeze. That required us to stick the ice on the top of the pool and keep it more in chunks rather than an ice skating rink. One day, I was working on the ice and the pool, and a struck the ice with a brief pause.... And then all of sudden I had an eighth of a milli-second to decide whether or not I was going with the fall, or would fight the fall in mid-air.  YES!!! I fell into the pool with ice about 2 inches thick. God is our refuge!! The short story is I'm alive to talk about it. The long story that early afternoon was I came close to not making it. God is our refuge!! In the moments of the water and ice hitting my body, and me being pulled under the ice was a little anerving. In a brief moment, I knew I had to get out of the pool or my son would walk down the stairs and find his mom floating dead in the pool. All I could do was constantly tell myself to get above the water, keep your head above the water. As I climbed the iceburgs of Alaska in the backyard of my Tennessee swimming pool, I prayed to God to get me out. With fingernails clawing the slabs of ice, my heavy sweater wrapped around my face strangling my neck as it caught the edges of the ice. The fight was real, but God was by refuge. Somehow, I was able to pull myself over two huge slabs of ice that were about as tall as me (5 feet). Finally, I got to the shallow sunning ledge and caught my breath. Making sure I wasn't dizzy and going to pass out, I continued the climb. The climb of life is real, and so is God!!

Then the questions begin: Why can't he love me more? Why can't he see what he's doing wrong? Why do I have to do everything in this relationship? These questions are just a sprinkle of all the doubt you thought of years ago before walking down the aisle, but now seems a little too close to reality. Let me remind you that there are seasons in marriage. You will have the roller coasters that you conquer together, but then there will be those lines only for one person. Why does it have to be this way?  Relationships ebb and flow. When you bring two people together who want to do life together, it takes work, like swimming upstream in a downstream world.  Unfair? Yes. Leads to divorce? Only if you allow it. Marriage is work, and love takes action. You have to be willing to go above and beyond. The K.I.S.S. ~ Go above and beyond! And let me say this: Just because you put in all the work doesn't make you better than your spouse. Yes, it requires more effort and energy, but please don't discount what your spouse is doing. Usually, they are executing only what they know or have been shown.  I can definitely remember times in our marriage when I felt I was married only to myself. I'm not saying that was good, yet it was reality. If you can look at things with clarity, then you can deal with the season you are in better and get out on the other side closer. So what does it look like in the real world of marriage? 1. Know the Season so You Show Up with Reason.  Just as Fall moves into Winter, you can prep your plants, trees, and grass for the cold that moving in. It's part of the growth cycle. Marriage is the same way. There will be times when it's going to take all of you. And if you're willing, then it becomes easier actually to live out with that clarity of knowing your position in getting through the season. You won't be there long, just hold on. 2. Give Grace in the Midst of Chaos Nothing is every going to be perfect. So, if you are going to go above and beyond, you've got to give grace. There's no other way around it. Otherwise, you will be the one hurt the most because your emotions that harbor the feelings of "why can't he do more," will turn into resentment and bitterness in your heart. And that's a whole other mountain to climb. Give grace. 3. Express What You Need at the Right Time. Timing is everything! In the digital space, a phrase is thrown around: "Content is king." In marriage, timing is king. If you have concerns about money, it probably is not a good idea to talk about it right before bed. Do it when you both are well-rested. If you feel like you're holding down the fort with no help, that's a fair concern. But don't bring it up in a discussion involving who's picking up the kids when. It's not the right time! And just because we have technology at our fingertips does not mean you can say anything anytime. Remember, timing is everything. "Marriage is work, and love takes action." ~ Kristianne Wargo Don't let the excuses of your personal wants get in the way of creating the best relationship between two people. The one-sided marriage will not last forever. Be patient. Express your concerns. And be willing to go above and beyond. You can have a beautiful marriage and love deeper every day. "Be present.

Do you get mad because that's the only way to get their attention? Or do you speak in whispers to draw them in closer? Parenting is super confusing. At one point, you think you have it all figured out. Yet, less than hours later, you are putting out a fire that you just told them not to do. Motherhood is a sham! Just kidding--LOL! Seriously, though, it is a TON of work that does not come with a manual. If there is one thing that I've learned from raising five kiddos is to stretch them so you don't shrink them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stretch them, not to shrink them! The strength of children is found in the ceiling. First you want a firm foundation, but the ceiling is what determines how far they will go. This means that wherever you hold the expectation, they will either rise to it or shrink back because it's too easy. My Dad always dreamed BIG!! Nothing was too BIG for my dad. And that's probably why I had dreams of going to the Olympics, becoming Miss America, and being an OB/GYN physician. Oh, how small were my dreams. But let me tell you, I may not have achieved any of them for a variety of reasons (which really doesn't matter), the thought of going after them was well worth the dreams because of all the lessons learned had I not tried at all. How are you teaching your children? Do you make it easy for them to achieve, or do you raise the bar for them to attempt and maybe even succeed? If you want to be that parent who leads with love to serve them well, you want to stretch them, not to shrink them.

1. Raise the Bar: Your child is created for more, regardless of whether you can see it or not. When you give a gentle stretch to keep them reaching, you assist them in learning new life skills and training their mindset that nothing is impossible.
2. Lower Your Goals: Your children are not living your life. So don't make what they are doing all about you! Instead, open their eyes to see what's possible and help them dream bigger.
3. Dream the Impossible: With today's technology, dreaming has become less prevalent in our society. Have you heard of ChatGPT? Well, if it's the only thing that's dreaming, our children are in trouble. So, rip what holds your child back. Encourage them to dream the impossible.

Our minds have not changed, but our attitudes have. Don't let the sun go down on your children. Stretch them to the moon and back and see how they impact the world they touch. "Be present.

Would that change your day? Would that change how your heart feels?  How would that impact you? Unfortunately, we are focused more on others' needs and wants, and totally dismiss what we need. We coward in the corner because we know what feels like.  Who wants to be someone else's punching bag? And this isn't just about yelling and screaming. I give you that example because it denotes something that most of us are familiar with. But in our ideal world, who wants to live that way? I don't. And I don't think you do either. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the box! Stand for what matters not for everyone else, but for you! You matter!! And if you don't see that, maybe you need to take a closer look at who you are seeing in the mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall... What is it for you? What do you want out of life? Stop playing the games where everyone else is still in high school. You get to choose who you hang out with. You get to choose how you respond to all that is going on around you.  If you are tired of where you are, then change your position. Positioning your heart and space is essential to living the life God desires for you. Plus, if you keep doing the same thing, where is that going to get you? Right where you are now! Break the box! Be the cream that rises to the top. Don't let what the world says to you, or past hurts, or present heartbreaks hold you back from doing what you were created to do.

Would that change your day? Would that change how your heart feels?  How would that impact you? Unfortunately, we are focused more on others' needs and wants, and totally dismiss what we need. We coward in the corner because we know what feels like.  Who wants to be someone else's punching bag? And this isn't just about yelling and screaming. I give you that example because it denotes something that most of us are familiar with. But in our ideal world, who wants to live that way? I don't. And I don't think you do either. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the box! Stand for what matters not for everyone else, but for you! You matter!! And if you don't see that, maybe you need to take a closer look at who you are seeing in the mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall... What is it for you? What do you want out of life? Stop playing the games where everyone else is still in high school. You get to choose who you hang out with. You get to choose how you respond to all that is going on around you.  If you are tired of where you are, then change your position. Positioning your heart and space is essential to living the life God desires for you. Plus, if you keep doing the same thing, where is that going to get you? Right where you are now! Break the box! Be the cream that rises to the top. Don't let what the world says to you, or past hurts, or present heartbreaks hold you back from doing what you were created to do. This is your day to let your light shine. So rise up! And BREAK the BOX!!! "Be present. Be incredible.

How much are you worth to your family?  Now, consider how much you are worth to your purpose here on earth. Most of the time, we are quick to dismiss the value and worth that we add to our family and the world that we touch. You are created on purpose for a purpose. It's no accident that you are here. But you can't do what you were created to do if you don't take care of you. It's a pretty simple concept. However, we have a hard time remembering that. So, where are you in your healthy goals? Whatever you do, choose wisely.

We had planned a surprise visit for my mom in Kansas City, along with my sister and niece who flew in from Hawaii. No one knew what was happening except my brother and my family. We couldn't wait, and just as I tell you every day, presence matters. So I decided that break of about a week would be good. Oh-- we also got to celebrate my Aunt and Uncle's 50th 
Wedding Anniversary. That was a surprise for them, too. Between traveling for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then, making a long trip to KC, all the craziness got the best of me. Right after the anniversary celebration, I go so sick. I laid in the hotel room and couldn't even visit with my family. Once we returned home, I still wasn't feeling myself. Tired all the time with no energy. And as you know, that is very unusual for me.  Finally, I decided to go to urgent care because I wasn't getting any better. When they listened to my lungs, the PA said, you most likely have pneumonia. Long story short, after the chest x-ray, I was diagnosed with double pneumonia. She was right, and I was exhausted.  I'm not one who gets sick very often; literally once in a blue moon. But this one was different. It was sort of a reset. Time I needed that I didn't make time for. Have you ever run into that. Your body just gives out because you've given so much? Our life cannot be filled to the brim all the time, because eventually you break. My dear friend, mentor, and coach - You name it, his presence was known-- Dan Miller. In fact, he went home exactly a year ago tomorrow. But he would say always, you can't lead from an empty cup. Your cup has to be full. He believed in investing in yourself, making sure your cup was filled so you in turn could fill others. What about you? Are you enjoying that lemonade or more like wrestling with the lemons? You can rebound after a reset; you just have to want to. The K.I.S.S. ~ You have to want it! A reset doesn't just happen. It comes from a commitment within; consider it your internal dialogue with God, your divine rod. I had to make time to let my body heal. A lot of you reached out and asked where I was and if everything was okay. I so appreciate you, my extended family! Yet, you can bounce back to the rebound from the reset. But you have to want it. And that's my question to you today. How bad do you want what is missing? Maybe it's something you left behind. Maybe it's something within your career. Maybe it's something brand new. Whatever it is, you have to want it. It's not just going to come back from where you left off. In fact, it might morph into something different or even more special and unique.  The cool thing is that you get to decide. You get to show up. You get to accept the playbook the way you want to write it. So let me ask you again, how bad do you want it? It's time to rebound after a reset! God's got you. Don't be afraid.  "Be present.

The Book of Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We don't know what's around the corner, but we do know that God's in control, especially when we feel out of control. Whatever you face today and through all your tomorrows, God's got you!!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Reflect on what is and what's to come! Amidst the holiday cheer and celebratory fervor, let us take this moment to seek solace in the quietude of our hearts. In these fleeting days of the year, carve out time for prayer, meditation, and reflection. Allow God's guiding light to illuminate your path and lead you toward fulfilling His divine purpose for your life. In other words, don't be so stubborn. Look toward the days ahead with hope and anticipation, a determination that can come only from God.

Rest and recharge for a reflection of what is and what's to come. Just as the old year fades into the horizon, the...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to lose sight of the divine plans that God has intricately woven for each of us. The Book of Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We don't know what's around the corner, but we do know that God's in control, especially when we feel out of control. Whatever you face today and through all your tomorrows, God's got you!!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Reflect on what is and what's to come! Amidst the holiday cheer and celebratory fervor, let us take this moment to seek solace in the quietude of our hearts. In these fleeting days of the year, carve out time for prayer, meditation, and reflection. Allow God's guiding light to illuminate your path and lead you toward fulfilling His divine purpose for your life. In other words, don't be so stubborn. Look toward the days ahead with hope and anticipation, a determination that can come only from God. As we bid adieu to the old year and herald the arrival of a new dawn, let us do so with hope in our hearts and faith in the unseen. Let us envision a future filled with promise, opportunities, and moments of grace. Remember that in God's perfect timing, all things come to fruition, and His plans for us are greater than we can ever imagine. So, as I, too, take a few days to usher in the New Year and reflect on what is and what's to come, let me leave you with this sweet poem.

Luke 2:1-20 2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger, the Son of God entered the world in unprecedented humility. This act of divine love and sacrifice is a powerful reminder of God's unwavering commitment to His people. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the true gift! As we contemplate the significance of this event, we are also confronted with the reality that the arrival of Jesus Christ did not instantly solve all the world's problems. The gift of our Savior is a reminder that while we may still face struggles and imperfections in this life, we are not alone. Just as Mary and Joseph faced uncertainty and challenges, we, too, can find comfort and strength in knowing that God is with us. Imagine the emotions that Mary, the mother of Jesus, must have experienced as she cradled her newborn son in her arms. Despite being chosen for a profound purpose, Mary was undoubtedly filled with doubts and fears, just like many of us mothers today. Yet, in her obedience and faith, Mary embraced the gift of Jesus with open arms, trusting in God's plan for her life. Are you ready this season to embrace the true gift, trusting in God's plan for your life? "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11 You are called to carry the gift of Jesus in your heart and share it with the world around you. Whether through acts of kindness, words of encouragement, or gestures of love, you can reflect the light of Christ to those you encounter. Like Mary, let us approach each day with faith and grace, knowing that we are called to be bearers of God's love and mercy. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas season, let us remember the true meaning of this joyous occasion. May we take inspiration from Mary, who embraced the gift of her Son with courage and humility. And may we, too, carry this precious gift in our hearts and share it with all those we meet, spreading the message of hope and redemption to a world in need. In embracing the true gift of Jesus Christ, we find solace, strength, and salvation. May His birth serve as a reminder of God's infinite love for us and His promise of eternal life. Let us continue to carry this gift in our hearts, knowing that we are called to be ambassadors of His grace and bearers of His light to a world in darkness. Let His light shine through your heart while you embrace the true gift of Jesus Christ. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! "Be present. Be incredible.

John 3:16-17 captures the essence of this great love: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." This is truly the heart of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is a mystery and a marvel if you let your human logic take over. But what about your faith? The Almighty God, the Creator of the universe, chose to enter into His creation as a vulnerable, helpless infant. This act of humility and sacrifice is beyond human comprehension, yet it speaks volumes about the depths of God's love for us. In Jesus, we see love in action: love made tangible, love reaching out to embrace a broken and hurting world. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love came down! As we continue our journey through the season of Advent, it is a time to reflect on the divine love that came down to us in the form of a little baby. It is a love that knows no bounds, a love that is willing to go to any lengths to save and redeem humanity. It is a love that calls us to respond in kind—to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. So this Christmas, as we exchange gifts and share meals with loved ones, let us not forget the true reason for the season. Let us pause and ponder the miracle of the incarnation, the miracle of Love coming down from heaven to dwell among us. And may this wondrous love fill our hearts with joy, peace, and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Love came down that first Christmas night, and it continues to shine brightly in our lives today. May you always be reminded of the incredible love that was demonstrated through the birth of Jesus Christ, and may it inspire us to love others with the same selfless, sacrificial love. This Christmas, let us rejoice in the love that came down for us. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's in these moments of uncertainty and vulnerability that you get to choose how you want to grow and evolve as a parent. As I always say, "The right thing and the hard thing are the same thing." Now, that doesn't make it easier, yet it gives you a reality check as to where you are so you can make adjustments to where you need to go. Embracing fear allows you to confront the challenges head-on rather than shying away from them. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." - Nelson Mandela The K.I.S.S. ~ It's good to be scared! I really want you to embrace that for yourself. Maybe that's the permission you need this holiday season to enjoy it more, to let your heart be present, not just your to-do list. Being a parent is undoubtedly one of the toughest jobs in the world. It requires patience, empathy, and a whole lot of courage. When faced with situations where our children push our buttons, test our limits, or make mistakes, it's easy to feel scared and overwhelmed. However, it's precisely in these moments that we have the chance to show up as the best version of ourselves. "Parenting is about growing up as much as it is about raising kids." ~ Kristianne Wargo Mom, it's time to embrace that fear because it's good to be scared. 1. Practice self-compassion: Remember that it's okay to feel scared and vulnerable as a parent. Be kind to yourself during challenging moments. 2. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist or coach for guidance and encouragement when you're feeling overwhelmed. 3.

Embracing fear allows us to step into our power as parents, to grow, learn, and connect with our children in profound ways. So, this Christmas season, embrace your fears, lean into the discomfort, and give yourself permission to be immersed in growing as you emerge stronger and wiser with more hope than ever before.

But what if you knew that it's good to be scared? Embracing fear can open up...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  In the rollercoaster journey of parenthood, there are moments that strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned moms and dads. It's in these moments of uncertainty and vulnerability that you get to choose how you want to grow and evolve as a parent. As I always say, "The right thing and the hard thing are the same thing." Now, that doesn't make it easier, yet it gives you a reality check as to where you are so you can make adjustments to where you need to go. Embracing fear allows you to confront the challenges head-on rather than shying away from them. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." - Nelson Mandela The K.I.S.S. ~ It's good to be scared! I really want you to embrace that for yourself. Maybe that's the permission you need this holiday season to enjoy it more, to let your heart be present, not just your to-do list. Being a parent is undoubtedly one of the toughest jobs in the world. It requires patience, empathy, and a whole lot of courage. When faced with situations where our children push our buttons, test our limits, or make mistakes, it's easy to feel scared and overwhelmed. However, it's precisely in these moments that we have the chance to show up as the best version of ourselves. "Parenting is about growing up as much as it is about raising kids." ~ Kristianne Wargo Mom, it's time to embrace that fear because it's good to be scared. 1. Practice self-compassion: Remember that it's okay to feel scared and vulnerable as a parent. Be kind to yourself during challenging moments. 2. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist or coach for guidance and encouragement when you're feeling overwhelmed. 3.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Dashing through the snow! MIND 1. Clarity Amidst the Chill: The crisp, cold air has a way of sharpening our focus and clearing the mental fog that often clouds our thoughts. Breathing in the icy freshness can awaken our senses and invigorate our minds, providing a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. 2. Creativity in the Frost: There's something about the winter chill that sparks our creativity and inspires us to think outside the box. Whether it's sketching snowflakes on frost-covered windows or writing poetry as delicate as a snowflake, the cold can be a muse for our artistic endeavors. 3. Mindfulness in the Silence: As the world around us hunkers down under a blanket of snow, the stillness and serenity of winter can offer a moment of respite for our overworked minds. Embracing the quietude of the season can help us practice mindfulness and appreciate the simple beauty of the moment; be present! BODY 1. Energizing Cold Showers: While the thought of a cold shower may send shivers down your spine, the benefits are worth the initial shock. Cold showers have been shown to boost circulation, strengthen the immune system, and even improve mood, making them a refreshing way to kickstart your day. 2. Winter Workouts: Embrace the chill by taking your workout outdoors. Whether it's ice skating, snowshoeing, or even just building a snowman, getting active in the cold can burn more calories, improve endurance, and strengthen your body against the elements. 3. Spa-like Ice Treatments: Treat yourself to the invigorating benefits of cold therapy with an at-home ice facial or cryotherapy session. Cold treatments can reduce inflammation, tighten skin, and promote overall wellness, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized. SPIRIT 1. Resilience in the Frost: Just as winter tests the resilience of nature, the cold can help us discover our own inner strength and endurance. Facing the chill head-on can build resilience, courage, and a sense of accomplishment as we navigate the challenges of the season. 2. Connection Through Coziness: As the temperature drops, we often find solace in the warmth of home and hearth. The cold can be a catalyst for creating cozy moments with loved ones, from snuggling up by the fire to sharing stories over a steaming cup of tea, deepening our connections and fostering a sense of community. 3. Joy in Simple Pleasures: In the midst of the holiday rush, the cold can remind us to slow down, savor the moment, and find joy in simple pleasures. Whether it's the beauty of a snowflake or the warmth of a hug, embracing the cold can help us appreciate the little things that bring light to our lives. So this holiday season, instead of shying away from the chill, dare to dash through the snow with open arms and an open heart. Embrace the transformative power of cold, and let its frosty embrace awaken your mind, revitalize your body, and uplift your spirit in ways you never imagined possible. "Be present. Be incredible.

We live in a...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Each of us possesses a unique set of gifts and talents that should not be overlooked or underestimated. It is time to step into your greatness and showcase to yourself and to the world the true value you hold within. You can't let what you think about yourself hold you back. It's crucial to recognize your worth and acknowledge that you are created on purpose, for a purpose. And at times, you need to remind yourself that you are incredible! You are worthy of your dreams. You have talents that need to be shared.  "Don't hide yourself from the world because your shadow is bigger than your belief. Rise to the occasion and be who you are becoming." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Be who you are becoming! Here are three actionable steps to start embracing your inner prize: 1. Believe in Yourself: The foundation of recognizing your worth starts with believing in yourself. Trust your abilities, talents, and passions. "How you show up in life does matter.” ~ Kristianne Wargo By believing in yourself, you pave the way for others to see your true potential. 2. Take A.I.M. (Inspired Action): Don't let fear or self-doubt hinder you from taking inspired action towards your goals. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and push yourself out of your comfort zone. "The reflection you see has a lasting effect on your confidence and how you believe." ~ Kristianne Wargo By taking inspired action, you reaffirm your belief in your worth as the prize. 3. Cultivate Self-Confidence: Building self-confidence is a journey that requires practice and self-love. Surround yourself with positivity, set achievable goals, and celebrate more failures than successes. "You must realize your greatness within so others can see it, too." ~ Kristianne Wargo By cultivating self-confidence, you exude the essence of being the prize in every aspect of your life. What all this does is allow you to handle the C.R.A.P. in life, so you can enjoy the successes along the way It's time to embrace your uniqueness, showcase your talents, and remember that you are the prize. Now, you get to show others. Believe in yourself and inspire others to do the same. You are the prize – it's time to shine! "Be present. Be incredible.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'" (Luke 2:8-11) Like the shepherds, we too can experience great joy in knowing that Jesus came into this world to bring us salvation and eternal life. In the midst of our busy lives, let us take a moment to count our blessings and reflect on the abundant joy that God has graciously bestowed upon us. The K.I.S.S. ~ The abundance of joy! Think about the joy that fills your heart when you spend time with loved ones, when you witness acts of kindness and compassion, and when you feel the presence of God in your life. These moments of joy are reminders of God's faithfulness and love towards us. As we journey through this season of waiting and anticipating, let us cultivate an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving. Let us be grateful for the gift of salvation, for the love of family and friends, and for the hope that Jesus brings into our lives. In the words of the apostle Paul, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) May our hearts overflow with joy and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our Savior and experience the abundant blessings that come from knowing Him. Let us rejoice and be glad, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. May the light of Christ shine brightly in our lives this Christmas season and bring us peace, hope, and everlasting joy.  "Be present. Be incredible.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Build the calm in the comfort! Here are three creative ways parents can make holiday traditions a part of their child's routine: 1. Create a Holiday Routine Chart: Design a visually appealing chart that outlines the different holiday traditions and activities your family will participate in. Involve your child in decorating the chart and have them place stickers or checkmarks next to each completed task. For example, if baking cookies is a tradition, have a designated day each week for cookie baking and involve your child in the process. This not only creates a sense of anticipation but also gives them a sense of accomplishment. "By creating a holiday routine chart, you are providing structure and predictability for your child, which can help reduce anxiety and enhance their overall holiday experience." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Incorporate Daily Rituals: Infuse holiday traditions into your child's daily routine to make them feel special and festive throughout the season. For instance, start each morning with a holiday-themed breakfast or end the day by reading a Christmas story together. These simple rituals create lasting memories and instill a sense of togetherness. "Daily rituals help children anchor their day and create a sense of security. By incorporating holiday traditions into these rituals, you are weaving joy and connection into their everyday lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Personalize Family Traditions: Make holiday traditions a reflection of your family's values and beliefs by personalizing them to suit your unique dynamics. Whether it's volunteering together, creating handmade decorations, or hosting a themed family movie night, tailor traditions to align with your family's interests and preferences. "Personalizing family traditions fosters a sense of identity and belonging for your child. It reinforces the idea that traditions are not just activities but expressions of love and unity within the family." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing holiday traditions as part of your child's routine, you are not only creating magical moments but also instilling values of love, togetherness, and joy that will last a lifetime.

However, it's crucial to remember that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not about restriction but rather about finding a harmonious balance that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Why let the holidays disrupt your well-being when you can navigate the season with grace and intention? "Indulging in a few holiday treats shouldn't come at the expense of your health. It's all about enjoying the moments without compromising your well-being." ~ Kristianne Wargo So let me ask you: Are you compromising your health? What if you put yourself first this holiday season, yet still permitted yourself to enjoy the tantalizing treats? How would that change your perspective? How would that change your reflection? If you want to fast track your health, use what you already have. The K.I.S.S. ~ Use what's here! Here are three fundamental strategies to help you fast track your way to health and vitality during the holidays by utilizing the resources already available to you. 1. Mindful Choices: Rather than viewing holiday treats as off-limits, practice mindful decision-making. Allow yourself to savor small portions of your favorite indulgences while being conscious of your body's hunger and satisfaction cues. By incorporating mindfulness into your eating habits, you can enjoy the flavors of the season without guilt or excess. "When you approach holiday eating with mindfulness, you can savor the experience without overindulging. It's about nourishing your memories." 2. Movement and Joy: Staying active during the holidays is key to supporting your overall well-being. Whether it's taking a winter walk, dancing to festive music, or engaging in a fun workout with loved ones, find ways to infuse joy into physical activity. Movement not only helps burn calories but also uplifts your spirit and enhances your sense of well-being. "When you move, you feel alive!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Self-Care Rituals: Amidst the holiday chaos, prioritize self-care rituals that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Set aside time for relaxation, meditation, adequate sleep, and activities that replenish your energy reserves. By tending to your holistic well-being, you can approach the season with a sense of calm and vitality. "Self-care is the foundation of a thriving life. By honoring your needs and nurturing your well-being, you can navigate the holidays with grace and intention." In essence, healthy living during the holidays is not about deprivation or perfection but about cultivating a sense of balance, joy, and self-care. By using the tools and resources available to you, you can fast track your journey to health and well-being, even amidst the festive celebrations. "Healthy living is a reflection of self-love and empowerment. Embrace the abundance of the season by utilizing what's here – your inner strength, mindful choices, and self-care practices – to create a holiday season that nourishes both your mind, body, and spirit." ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember that the holidays are a time for celebration and joy – and that includes celebrating your health and vitality. With a mindset of balance and moderation, you can savor the season while staying true to your well-being goals. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's time to stress less and connect more. "During the holiday chaos, it's crucial to remember that the heart of the season lies in the love shared." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's a magical time meant to be shared with loved ones. However, for many married couples, it can also bring about a whirlwind of stress and distractions that hinder the true connection between partners. Instead of getting bogged down by endless to-do lists and family obligations, it's time to shift the focus back to what truly matters - nurturing the bond between husband and wife. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nurture the bond! QUESTION: What are you currently doing in your marriage now? Are you making time, or are you just getting by day to day? Here are three simple yet impactful ways for couples to stress less and connect more during the Christmas holidays: 1. Unplug and Unwind Together: In the midst of holiday chaos, it's crucial for couples to carve out quality time for each other. Put away the smartphones, turn off the TV, and create a cozy ambiance where you can truly connect. Whether it's enjoying a quiet evening by the fireplace, taking a leisurely stroll through a winter wonderland, or simply snuggling up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa, these moments of undivided attention can reignite the spark in your relationship. "In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in the external noise. Unplugging and unwinding together, creating a sacred space for a genuine connection to flourish." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Share Gratitude and Affection: Amidst the flurry of gift-giving and party planning, don't forget to express gratitude and affection towards your spouse. Take time to acknowledge the little things they do that often go unnoticed. Write a heartfelt love note, prepare their favorite meal, or simply offer a warm embrace filled with love and appreciation. These gestures of kindness strengthen the bond between husband and wife, fostering a sense of connectedness that transcends the holiday season. "Expressing gratitude and affection towards your partner is a powerful way to nurture your relationship. Small acts of kindness speak volumes and deepen the emotional connection between couples." ~ Krisitanne Wargo 3. Create Meaningful Traditions Together: One of the most beautiful aspects of the holiday season is the opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones. Instead of getting caught up in the materialistic aspects of Christmas, focus on cultivating meaningful traditions as a couple. Whether it's decorating the tree together, baking festive treats, reading a book together, or binge-watching your favorite holiday movies, these shared experiences can strengthen your bond and infuse your relationship with joy and togetherness. "Creating meaningful traditions together allows couples to build a foundation of shared experiences that strengthen their connection. These rituals become a source of comfort and joy, nurturing the emotional bond between husband and wife." ~ Kristianne Wargo Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's essential for married couples to prioritize their relationship above all else. You get to create your now as a couple and create meaningful traditions during this festive season. Stress less, connect more - because love is truly the greatest gift of all. "Be present.

In a time when love is in the air, stress less and connect more! As the holiday season approaches, the air fills with...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Yet during this time, it's essential to prioritize nurturing the bond between husband and wife. It's time to stress less and connect more. "During the holiday chaos, it's crucial to remember that the heart of the season lies in the love shared." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's a magical time meant to be shared with loved ones. However, for many married couples, it can also bring about a whirlwind of stress and distractions that hinder the true connection between partners. Instead of getting bogged down by endless to-do lists and family obligations, it's time to shift the focus back to what truly matters - nurturing the bond between husband and wife. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nurture the bond! QUESTION: What are you currently doing in your marriage now? Are you making time, or are you just getting by day to day? Here are three simple yet impactful ways for couples to stress less and connect more during the Christmas holidays: 1. Unplug and Unwind Together: In the midst of holiday chaos, it's crucial for couples to carve out quality time for each other. Put away the smartphones, turn off the TV, and create a cozy ambiance where you can truly connect. Whether it's enjoying a quiet evening by the fireplace, taking a leisurely stroll through a winter wonderland, or simply snuggling up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa, these moments of undivided attention can reignite the spark in your relationship. "In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in the external noise. Unplugging and unwinding together, creating a sacred space for a genuine connection to flourish." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Share Gratitude and Affection: Amidst the flurry of gift-giving and party planning, don't forget to express gratitude and affection towards your spouse. Take time to acknowledge the little things they do that often go unnoticed. Write a heartfelt love note, prepare their favorite meal, or simply offer a warm embrace filled with love and appreciation. These gestures of kindness strengthen the bond between husband and wife, fostering a sense of connectedness that transcends the holiday season.

"Christmas is a time to celebrate the gift of love through giving. By nurturing a spirit of generosity in our children, we not only honor the true meaning of this season but also embody the selfless nature of God's love." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Give the gift of giving! 1. Lead by Christ's Example The story of Christmas begins with the humble birth of Jesus, God's unconditional love for humanity. As parents, we can emulate Christ's teachings by embodying compassion, kindness, and generosity in our daily lives. "Just as God gave us His greatest gift, we can teach our children to give selflessly to others." ~ Kristianne Wargo Invite your children to participate in acts of service, such as volunteering at a local shelter, donating toys to underprivileged children, or helping an elderly neighbor decorate for Christmas. Through these actions, children learn to share Christ's love through their deeds. 2. Cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit Christmas is a season of faith, hope, and love, as highlighted in the fruits of the Spirit described in the Bible. Encouraging children to embody these virtues—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—enables them to become vessels of God's grace. "Teach your children to bear the fruit of the Spirit in their interactions with others, spreading the light of Christ." ~ Kristianne Wargo Engage your children in crafting handmade cards for the elderly, singing carols at a nursing home, or baking treats for frontline workers. Encourage them to embody the virtues of love, kindness, and joy as they share God's blessings with those around them. 3. Spread the Light of Christ Just as candles illuminate the darkness, our acts of kindness and generosity can bring hope and warmth to those in need. Inspire your children to be beacons of Christ's light by extending grace, mercy, and love to others. "Let your children shine brightly with the love of Christ, bringing warmth and comfort to those around them." ~ Kristianne Wargo Create a family tradition of performing random acts of kindness throughout the Christmas season, such as donating to a charitable cause, delivering meals to the homeless, or expressing gratitude to essential workers. Encourage your children to be channels of God's love and light in a world that needs it most. Helping children go from takers to givers is a gradual process that requires nurturing, guidance, and continuous reinforcement. In other words, it's not going to happen overnight. So keep repeating the selfless gifts of giving. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the gift of salvation, may we reflect His love by nurturing a spirit of generosity and service in our children. By following Christ's example, cultivating the fruits of the Spirit, and spreading His light to others, we empower our children to embrace the true meaning of Christmas and embody God's love in all they do.

When we find ourselves in a season of cold and darkness, it can be easy to succumb to the gloom, letting it seep into our bones and cloud our vision. But we must remember that we hold the power to choose how we show up in the world. We have the strength within us to push back against the darkness and let our inner light shine through. Doubt and fear, those twin specters that haunt your waking hours and whisper in the silence of the night, have no power over you when you choose to illuminate your shadows. When you confront your fears head-on, when you shine a light into the darkest corners of your soul, you find that there is nothing to be afraid of. The doubt that once held you in its thrall dissipates like mist in the morning sun, leaving only clarity and confidence in its wake. The K.I.S.S. ~ Illuminate your shadows! So, how do we go about illuminating our shadows? How do we banish the darkness and let our light shine through? It starts with awareness, with a willingness to confront the darkness within and acknowledge its presence. Only then can we begin to take the steps necessary to cast aside the shadows that hold us back. One powerful tool in illuminating our shadows is self-reflection. By turning inward and examining your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with honesty and compassion, you can begin to uncover the sources of your doubts and fears. Through this process of self-exploration, you can shine a light on the hidden corners of your mind, bringing to light what has been lurking in the shadows. And don't forget self-compassion. It is important to remember that you are only human, and that doubt and fear are natural parts of the human experience. By treating yourself with kindness and understanding, you can begin to soften the harsh edges of your self-criticism and make room for your light to shine brightly. Ultimately, to illuminate your shadows is to embrace your own inner light, to recognize the strength and resilience that resides within you. When you choose to confront your fears, banish your doubts, and let your light shine through, you open yourself up to a world of possibility and growth. The darkness may come, but it is in your power to cast it aside and let your light shine bright. So, dear reader, the next time you find yourself in a season of cold and darkness, remember that you hold the power to illuminate your shadows. The darkness may be strong, but your passion within is a much brighter spark. Embrace it, nurture it, and let it guide you through the darkest of nights to the brightest of dawns. "Be present.

True hope is found in motion - in the pursuit of dreams, the persistence of effort, and the patience to be courageous by moving forward despite the challenges that may arise. In the tapestry of our lives, hope in motion is the vibrant thread that weaves through our darkest moments, illuminating a path forward even in the midst of uncertainty. It is the resilience that propels us to rise after every fall, the determination that fuels our journey even when fatigue threatens to weigh us down. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hope in motion! Hope in motion empowers us to transcend our limitations, defy our doubts, and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie on the horizon. It calls us to action, challenges us to push beyond our comfort zones, and invites us to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth. In a world that often feels fraught with obstacles and uncertainties, hope in motion serves as a beacon of light, guiding us through the shadows of fear and doubt toward a brighter tomorrow. It is the spark that ignites the flames of passion within us, driving us to pursue our goals with unwavering determination and unwavering faith in our own capacity for greatness. So, let us not be content to merely hope for a better future. Instead, embody hope in motion - a dynamic force that propels you to strive for your dreams, overcome your challenges, and transform your aspirations into reality. For it is in the journey of hope in motion that you discover the true depth of your strength, the limitless potential of your spirit, and the boundless possibilities that await you on the horizon. Today, let hope in motion be a guiding principle in your life, a source of inspiration and motivation that empowers you to take the next step, no matter how daunting the path may seem. For in the relentless pursuit of your dreams, in the unwavering commitment to your goals, you unlock the transformative power of hope in motion - a force that knows no bounds and defies all limitations. Hope in motion - a celebration of the resilience of the human heart, and a reminder that true greatness lies not in what we hope for, but in what we dare to do to bring our hopes to life.

Even though it's comforting to some degree, nothing beats the feeling of hope in motion. In the rhythm of life, there comes a moment when we find ourselves...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  We may linger there, cradled by the familiarity of our own uncertainties, but true hope is not found in the hypotheticals or uncertainties of tomorrow. True hope is found in motion - in the pursuit of dreams, the persistence of effort, and the patience to be courageous by moving forward despite the challenges that may arise. In the tapestry of our lives, hope in motion is the vibrant thread that weaves through our darkest moments, illuminating a path forward even in the midst of uncertainty. It is the resilience that propels us to rise after every fall, the determination that fuels our journey even when fatigue threatens to weigh us down. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hope in motion! Hope in motion empowers us to transcend our limitations, defy our doubts, and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie on the horizon. It calls us to action, challenges us to push beyond our comfort zones, and invites us to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth. In a world that often feels fraught with obstacles and uncertainties, hope in motion serves as a beacon of light, guiding us through the shadows of fear and doubt toward a brighter tomorrow. It is the spark that ignites the flames of passion within us, driving us to pursue our goals with unwavering determination and unwavering faith in our own capacity for greatness. So, let us not be content to merely hope for a better future. Instead, embody hope in motion - a dynamic force that propels you to strive for your dreams, overcome your challenges, and transform your aspirations into reality. For it is in the journey of hope in motion that you discover the true depth of your strength, the limitless potential of your spirit, and the boundless possibilities that await you on the horizon. Today, let hope in motion be a guiding principle in your life, a source of inspiration and motivation that empowers you to take the next step, no matter how daunting the path may seem. For in the relentless pursuit of your dreams, in the unwavering commitment to your goals, you unlock the transformative power of hope in motion - a force that knows no bounds and defies all limitations. Hope in motion - a celebration of the resilience of the human heart, and a reminder that true greatness lies not in what we hope for, but in what we dare to do to bring our hopes to life.

• Maybe you had a fight husband and you just tried to make it through but it didn't work.
• The kids were all riled up. In fact, they didn't want to be around you.
• Maybe you had some grown kids who didn't show up on your doorstep.

Sometimes you just don't feel like there's much there. But I'm here to tell you my friends, there's hope in the darkness The K.I.S.S. ~ Hope in the darkness! As we move from the season of gratitude into the Advent season, the day is shortened and the darkness descends. There's this a glimmer of hope that shines brightly through the shadows, the promise of a Savior foretold centuries before his birth. In Isaiah 9:6-7, we read, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." These words speak of a hope beyond all comprehension – a hope that transcends the trials and tribulations of this world. In the darkness of uncertainty, fear, and despair, the promise of the Messiah brings reassurance and comfort. The Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace – these titles evoke a sense of security and serenity, beckoning us to trust in the One who brings hope to a world in turmoil. As we journey through the Advent season, let us reflect on the profound significance of this prophecy. Let us ponder the immense love and grace that led to the fulfillment of this promise in the birth of Jesus Christ. In Him, we find hope that defies all logic and reason, a hope that sustains us through the darkest of times. May we cling to this hope as we navigate the trials and uncertainties of life. May we find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone, that a Savior has come to bring light to our darkness. And may we share this hope with others, spreading the message of salvation and redemption to a world in need. In the words of Isaiah 9:6-7, let us hold fast to the promise of hope: "The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this." Let us trust in the faithfulness of God to fulfill His promises and bring light to the darkest of places. As we await the celebration of the birth of our Savior, let us embrace the hope that He brings and shine His light into a world in desperate need of His love and grace. Hope is not lost in the darkness – it is found in the promise of Christ, our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. "Be present. Be incredible.

No matter how crazy the temptations get, you can savor the joys of Thanksgiving while staying true to your health commitments. Establishing a Sustainable Holiday Routine: 1. Prioritize Self-Care: Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, remember to make time for yourself. Whether it's through mindfulness practices, a leisurely walk in nature, or a relaxing bubble bath, self-care is non-negotiable. "Take care of yourself so you can care for others more." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Stay Active: Incorporating physical activity into your holiday routine is crucial for both physical and mental well-being.

"Movement is medicine for the body, mind, and spirit." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Mind Your Indulgence: Enjoying the flavors of the season doesn't have to derail your healthy habits. Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, listening to your body's hunger cues, and opting for nourishing choices whenever possible.

fullhttps://www.spreaker-beta.com/episode/3592-master-your-mind--1115952Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  It can take you from being average to becoming who God created you to be. Thoughts are not mere fleeting occurrences; they have the power to shape our reality and influence our actions. If you want to master your mind, then you want to harness the power of your thoughts. The K.I.S.S. ~ Harness the power of your thoughts! The importance of harnessing the power of your thoughts with the guidance of biblical wisdom can change your perspective and the lenses in which you see the world. Here are three actionable steps to help you master your mind. 1. Rewire Your Mind: Just as we can train our bodies to become stronger through consistent exercise, we can rewire our minds to think more positively and productively. Romans 12:2 reminds us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." By aligning our thought patterns with God's truth, we can experience a renewed perspective on life and make choices that honor Him and us. This involves consciously replacing negative thought patterns with empowering ones. For example, instead of saying, "I can't do this," shift your mindset to "I am capable of overcoming any challenge." By practicing mindfulness and self-awareness, you can reprogram your brain to default to positive thinking in everyday situations. "Our thoughts have the power to shape our reality. By rewiring our minds to focus on the positive, we can create a life filled with abundance and joy through God." - Kristianne Wargo 2. Renew Your Mind: Renewing your mind involves engaging in activities that stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and growth. Philippians 4:8 encourages us, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." By immersing yourself in God-honoring content and surrounding yourself with positive influences, you can elevate your thoughts and actions. This can include reading inspiring books, attending personal development seminars, or surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who challenge and uplift you. By exposing yourself to new ideas and perspectives, you can broaden your mental horizons and expand your capacity for innovative thinking. This makes way for you to think outside yourself and challenge your thoughts. "Renewing your mind is like watering a garden; only with nurturing and care can it flourish and bear fruit." - Kristianne Wargo 3. Reset Your Mind: Just as a computer occasionally needs to be rebooted to function optimally, our minds also benefit from periodic resets. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, "Be still, and know that I am God." Take time to reset your mind through practices such as meditation, journaling, or simply taking a break from the busyness of daily life to reflect and recharge. It allows you to clear the mental clutter and align your thoughts with God's purpose and gain clarity amidst life's busyness. "In the stillness of reflection, we find clarity and purpose. Resetting our minds is not a luxury but a necessity for sustainable growth and well-being." - Kristianne Wargo In order to master your mind, it becomes a lifelong journey that requires dedication, self-awareness, and a willingness to challenge your existing beliefs. By taking proactive steps to rewire, renew, and reset your mind, you can unleash the full potential of your thoughts and create your now. Remember, thoughts are not mere happenings; they are the building blocks of your reality. Master your mind, and you master your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

It reminds me of Joseph, a powerful Biblical story that exemplifies the concept of overflowing with hope. Despite facing betrayal, false accusations, and years of imprisonment, Joseph never lost hope in God's plan for his life. In the end, Joseph's unwavering faith and trust in God's promises led him to a position of power and influence in Egypt, where he was able to save his family and fulfill God's purpose for his life. Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Joseph's story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find hope in the unchanging promises of God. When we trust in Him and lean on His strength, we can experience a peace that surpasses all understanding and a joy that overflows our hearts. Psalm 31:24 – “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” During the holiday season, it's essential to hold fast to the hope that sustains you through life's trials and tribulations. Whether you're facing financial difficulties, loneliness, health challenges, or the loss of a loved one, remember that you are not alone. The God of hope is with you, ready to fill you with joy, peace, and an abundance of hope that overflows from within. As you trust in Him and surrender your worries and fears, may you experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, filling your heart with hope that transcends circumstances. May this holiday season be a time of renewal, restoration, and rejuvenation, with overflowing hope, knowing that God's promises are true and His love is never-ending. Overflow with hope, for you are deeply loved and cherished by the One who holds the universe in His hands. Trust in His plan, lean on His strength, and bask in the overflowing hope that comes from a faith rooted in the God of all creation. "Be present. Be incredible.

You need to extend your hand by expanding your heart. Amidst the chaos, it's crucial to prioritize and maintain love and connection with your spouse. After all, isn't love supposed to be a sanctuary in the midst of life's storms? So, anchor away. Create your sanctuary today. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your sanctuary today! Here are three practical ways couples can continue to foster love even in the face of stress: 1. Communication is Key: When stress levels are high, communication tends to break down, leading to misunderstandings and conflict. To keep the love alive, it's essential for couples to communicate openly and honestly. Take the time to sit down with your partner, actively listen to their concerns, and express your own feelings without judgment. "Don't always talk while in action. Let your words speak first, and then follow-up with your actions next." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Instead of bottling up frustrations from work, share them with your partner over a cup of coffee. By expressing your emotions and concerns, you invite your partner into your world and strengthen the bond between you. 2. Quality Time Together: In the midst of hectic schedules and endless to-do lists, carving out quality time for each other can easily fall by the wayside. However, making time for shared experiences and bonding activities is vital for sustaining a loving relationship. Plan date nights, weekend getaways, or even simple activities like cooking together or going for a walk. "Quality time spent together today is an investment in your relationship's tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Unplug from technology and distractions for an evening and enjoy a candlelit dinner with your partner. Focus on each other's company and create lasting memories that will strengthen your emotional connection. 3. Support and Encouragement: During stressful times, having a supportive partner by your side can make all the difference. Show love and support to your significant other by being there for them, offering a listening ear, and providing words of encouragement. "In times of stress, unconditional love and support are the pillars that hold relationships together." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: If your partner is facing a challenging situation at work, be their cheerleader and source of strength. Offer words of encouragement, lend a helping hand, and remind them that you are in this together. You can navigate the ups and downs of life's stressors while keeping the flame of love burning bright. Remember, love is not just a feeling. Love is a verb; it's a conscious choice to prioritize your partner and nurture your bond, even in the midst of chaos. "Love is the anchor that keeps couples grounded amidst life's storms." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Join us at Women of IMPACT. fullhttps://www.spreaker-beta.com/episode/3589-get-your-kids-out-of-the-gutter--1115954Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Now, most of us parents are not sitting around debating what we need to do to keep our kids' attention so they are not lost in a world of lies and hopelessness. Think about it: How important is it for you to make sure your child is seen and heard? Or maybe that's not really something that you've given a lot of thought to. No worries! Think about it now. 

• How do you communicate with your child so they are not so tied up in the "reactions" on social media?
• How do you interact with them so they feel seen and heard?
• What makes your child stand out to you? Think about the gifts that they have; their own personality.
• When do you make time to see your child without interruption?
• Where do you go with your child so they know they're number one in your heart?
• Why does all this matter to your kids?

Because we live in a society where going viral and seeking validation from strangers can overshadow authentic connections. That's why it's crucial to ensure our children are not lost in the noise. As parents, it's our responsibility to see, recognize, and hear our kids, nurturing their hearts with love, joy, and hope. And in order to do that, you gotta see them first! The K.I.S.S. ~ See them F.I.R.S.T.! Here are three actionable steps parents can take to elevate their interactions with their children: 1. FOCUS: When parents focus on creating a loving and supportive environment for their children, they prioritize their child's well-being and emotional development. When you actively tune into your child's needs and feelings, then you get to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to nurturing a strong parent-child bond. "When we focus on creating a supportive environment, we empower our children to thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo This is when you set aside distractions and actively listen to your child's concerns, showing them they are valued and understood. 2. INTERACT: Engaging actively with your child through conversation and activities fosters a sense of connection and communication. By spending quality time together and participating in shared interests, parents strengthen their relationship with their children. "Interacting with your child builds a bridge of trust and understanding." ~ Kristianne Wargo For instance, play, play, play: playing games, going for walks, or participating in creative projects together can create bonding moments, the trust moments that facilitate open dialogue between you and your child. 3. RECOGNIZE: Acknowledging and validating a child's emotions and experiences is crucial for their emotional well-being. When parents recognize their child's feelings, they demonstrate empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for emotional expression. "Acknowledging their feelings validates their experiences and connects your heart with theirs." ~ Kristianne Wargo In times of distress or worry, you can show recognition by responding sensitively to your child's emotions and offering comfort and support. 4. SUPPORT: Providing encouragement and emotional support for your child nurtures their confidence and resilience. We're talking about their self-esteem. When you offer consistent support, you help your child navigate challenges and setbacks with greater resilience and determination. "Supporting our children builds a foundation of strength, courage, and compassion." ~ Kristianne Wargo This can be demonstrated when a parent encourages their child to pursue their interests, celebrate their achievements, and offer reassurance during difficult times. 5. TALK: Having open and honest conversations with your child fosters trust, understanding, and communication. Through meaningful dialogue, you can gain insight into your child's thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Because if you are not paying attention, someone else will take your place. "Talking with our children opens the door to deeper connections, creating a foundation of mutual respect and trust." ~ Kristianne Wargo Parents can engage in conversations with their child about their day, interests, worries, and aspirations, creating a space for mutual sharing and building a strong parent-child bond. "Your child must see you alive in action and thorough in thought." ~ Kristianne Wargo YOU have the power to lift them out of the gutter of "hey, look at me," and instill in them a foundation of love, joy, and hope. Remember, as a parent, you hold the key to shaping your children's emotional well-being and nurturing them from the inside out. So, let's commit to seeing and hearing our kids. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

You don't like anything you try on. And it's stuff you've worn before. Yet, now, there is absolutely nothing. You see twenty-two more wrinkles on your face and body. Plus, you feel bloated and plump. So, what do you see for yourself? Fear not; there are ways to avoid falling into this trap. Instead, embrace your true beauty and confidence during this festive time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace your true beauty! 1. Practice Self-Compassion: One of the most powerful tools in combating body image meltdowns is self-compassion. Instead of criticizing yourself for not meeting unrealistic standards, practice kindness and understanding towards yourself. Take time each day to affirm yourself and focus on what makes you unique and beautiful. For example, when you catch yourself in a negative thought spiral, try replacing it with a positive affirmation like, "I am strong, capable, and worthy of love." Remember, perfection is an illusion, and true beauty comes from self-acceptance. "Embrace your uniqueness and focus on your strengths rather than your perceived flaws. Your beauty shines from within when you cultivate self-love and self-acceptance. Compassion grows your heart for who you see in the mirror." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Self-Care: During the hectic holiday season, it's easy to neglect self-care in favor of attending to others' needs. However, taking care of yourself is crucial in maintaining a healthy body image and overall well-being. Make time for activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul, whether it's a relaxing bath, a yoga session, or a walk in nature. Additionally, prioritize healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and adequate rest to feel your best both inside and out. "Self-care is not selfish; it is essential for your well-being. Prioritize activities that bring you joy and replenish your energy reserves to rejuvenate your spirit." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: The holidays can be a time of intense social interactions, which may exacerbate feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. Surround yourself with friends and family members who uplift and encourage you, rather than those who bring negativity or judgment. Seek out supportive communities, online or offline, where you feel accepted and understood for who you are. Remember, you are not alone in your struggles, and sharing your feelings with trusted individuals can help alleviate the burden of body image issues. "Choose to spend time with people who celebrate your uniqueness and empower you to be your authentic self. Building a community of support is essential in navigating difficult moments." ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: How do you proactively address and prevent body image meltdowns? Remember, your worth is not defined by your appearance, but by the kindness, strength, and resilience you embody. Embrace your true beauty this holiday season and celebrate the unique masterpiece that you are. "You are a work of art, a masterpiece constantly evolving and growing. Embrace the journey of greatness you're on, and extend the grace, love, and compassion you deserve." "Be present. Be incredible.

Habits fuel our actions for good or bad. Unfortunately, though, it's usually our bad habits that win over our good ones. How do habits form? What does it take to erase one habit for another?  Habits are formed through a process in our brains called the habit loop, which consists of three key components: 1. Cue: The first step in forming a habit is the cue, which triggers a specific behavior. This could be a certain time of day, a particular emotion, a location, or even a specific event that prompts the habit. 2. Routine: Once the cue is triggered, we engage in a routine or behavior that follows the cue. This is the action that we take in response to the cue, whether it's positive or negative. 3. Reward: The final component of the habit loop is the reward. After completing the routine, our brains release a surge of neurotransmitters that make us feel good. This reinforces the behavior and encourages us to repeat it in the future. Over time, as we continue to repeat the same cue-routine-reward cycle, the habit becomes more ingrained in our brains, making it automatic and requiring less conscious effort to perform. By understanding this process, we can work towards breaking bad habits and forming new, positive ones by intentionally choosing the cues, routines, and rewards in our daily lives. Imagine if you were an eraser in your life? What bad habits would you like to get rid of, reduce, or redeem? You don't have to keep doing the same ole things the same ole ways. Habits play a significant role in shaping our lives, dictating our actions and behaviors. You can change your bad habits and create your now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Memorize what matters! "Memorizing what matters means consciously choosing to prioritize the things that bring joy, purpose, and meaning to our lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo Here are three actionable steps to help you change your habits for the better: 1. Identify Your Triggers: Take some time to reflect on what triggers your bad habits. Is it stress, boredom, or a particular environment? Once you understand the root cause, you can begin to address it. For example, if you tend to stress-eat, find alternative coping mechanisms such as going for a walk or practicing mindfulness. 2. Create a Routine: Replace your bad habits with positive ones by establishing a routine that supports your goals. For instance, if you want to improve your physical fitness, commit to a daily workout schedule or join a fitness class. Consistency is key to forming new, healthy habits. 3. Stay Accountable: Enlist the support of a friend, coach, or mentor to hold you accountable on your journey to change. Share your goals with someone you trust and regularly check in with them to track your progress. Having someone to support and encourage you can make a significant difference in staying motivated. It's crucial to break free from the shackles of our old habits and embrace a new way of living that aligns with our values and aspirations. By consciously choosing to memorize what matters, we can pave the way for a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Let go of the past, embrace the present, and create a future that resonates with your purpose. CHALLENGE: What are you doing today to memorize what matters? "Our habits reflect our innermost desires, the passion that is palpable in our hearts. Choose wisely what you choose to memorize." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to erase the negative and focus on what truly matters – your happiness, growth, and passion. Take the first step toward what God desires for you, leaving behind what clutters your heart. Memorize What Matters. "Be present. Be incredible.

But we keep plowing through our to-do lists, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, yelling at the kids, screaming at our sweethearts, and scrolling faster through our reels that we forget what is most important. Come back to God! God wants to work miracles in you and through you. But you have to ready your mind, body, and spirit for how He wants you to show up every day. Do life with God living authentically His way, not yours. The K.I.S.S. ~ Come back to God! As the world spins faster and faster, pulling us in every direction imaginable, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. In the midst of chaos, stress, and distractions, the gentle whisper of God calling us back to Him can easily be drowned out. In a society that glorifies busyness and self-sufficiency, it’s all too common to let our connection with God fall by the wayside. We get caught up in the never-ending cycle of responsibilities – work, chores, relationships, social media – and we push aside the one relationship that should take priority above all else. But amidst the noise and chaos, God’s voice remains constant, beckoning us to return to Him. So why do we resist? Why do we run? Perhaps it’s the fear of surrendering control, the discomfort of facing our shortcomings, or simply the allure of worldly distractions. But in truth, God’s call to “Come back to God!” is not a demand for perfection, but an invitation to experience His grace, forgiveness, and transformative power. When you align your lives with God’s will and surrender your plans to His divine purpose, you open the door for miracles to unfold. It’s in the moments of quiet surrender, heartfelt prayer, and intentional presence that you allow God to work wonders in and through you. By choosing to walk in authenticity and obedience to HIm, His Word, and His commandments, you pave the way for His light to shine brightly in your life. So, let us heed the call. Come back to God! Prioritize your relationship with Him above all else, seeking His presence in the midst of your daily chaos and challenges. As you draw near to God with a humble heart and an open mind, you will find the strength, peace, and guidance we need to navigate life’s ups and downs with faith and assurance. Tap into God's Positioning System designed just for you (iGPS). Today, don't hesitate. Be still and feel His presence. Embrace the truth and embrace your role as an ambassador of Christ, boldly proclaiming His message of love, redemption, and salvation to a world in desperate need of hope. Come back to God, and let His light shine through you today and always. "Be present. Be incredible.

What have your days looked like lately? Are they fairytale ones that have you all googly eyes and heart-pounding moments? Probably not! You are spinning your wheels, running around like a chicken with your head cut off, or simply sitting in a corner giving yourself an "oh woes me" party. What if you slowed down to actually see and hear your spouse? What if you made a point every day to express your appreciation for their presence? Taking the time to cultivate a spirit of gratitude within a marriage works wonders in strengthening the bond between spouses, fostering mutual respect, and nurturing a lasting love that can weather any storm. You will be amazed at what gratitude does for your marriage. "Gratitude is the cornerstone of a fulfilling and joyful relationship. It's like watering a garden; when you nourish it with appreciation, love blooms and grows stronger." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, if you want a stronger marriage, nourish it with appreciation. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nourish your marriage with appreciation! To facilitate the growth of gratitude and fortify the foundation of love in your marriage, here are three actionable steps that Kristianne Wargo recommends: 1. RENEW - Start Each Day with a Thank You: Embrace the power of mornings by setting the tone for the day ahead with a sincere expression of gratitude towards your spouse. Whether it's a simple "Thank you for making breakfast" or a heartfelt acknowledgment of their support, starting the day on a positive note can create a ripple effect of warmth and appreciation throughout the day. "A grateful heart sets the stage for a harmonious day. By beginning each morning with a genuine thank you, you lay the groundwork for a day filled with love and connection." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. RESTORE - Celebrate Small Moments: In the journey of marriage, it's often the little things that matter the most. Take the time to celebrate small moments of joy and kindness shared between you and your spouse. Whether it's a spontaneous hug, a shared laughter over a cup of coffee, a text, or a thoughtful gesture, acknowledging and appreciating these fleeting moments can strengthen the emotional connection between partners. "Celebrating small moments of love and joy enriches the tapestry of your marriage. When you notice and appreciate these moments, you weave a bond of gratitude that sustains your marriage through ups and downs." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. REVIVE - Express Gratitude Through Actions: While words have the power to uplift and inspire, actions speak volumes in the language of love. Show your appreciation for your spouse through thoughtful gestures, acts of service, and loving deeds that convey your gratitude in tangible ways. Whether it's preparing their favorite meal, surprising them with a handwritten note, or lending a helping hand without being asked, actions rooted in gratitude speak louder than words. "Actions fueled by gratitude demonstrate the depth of your love and appreciation for your partner. When you strive to show gratitude through your deeds, you create a bond that is resilient and unwavering." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Embracing a spirit of gratitude within your marriage not only enriches your relationship but also nourishes your soul with love and blessings. Learn to love deep and well; it only takes one thank you at a time. "Be present. Be incredible.

It is a journey where we strive to make the best decisions for our children, to protect them from harm, and to nurture them into strong, compassionate individuals. But in a world filled with uncertainties and struggles, how can we ensure that our children grow up to be resilient and successful? Where do we draw the line for ourselves and for them? Do you have a promise to keep? I think we do as parents: to raise up our kids with the abilities to impact the world they touch. And we just can't sit back and pretend that it's going to be easy. Life will give us lemons, and our children will do the same. It's up to us to make the lemonade! The K.I.S.S. ~ Make the lemonade! It's gotta be sweet and tart, turning your tongue inside out. That's living!! Here are three impactful ways in which parents can influence their children to rise to the top: 1. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing their parents. As parents, it is essential to model the values and behaviors we wish to instill in our children. Whether it is showing kindness to others, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity, or pursuing our passions with determination, our actions speak louder than words. "Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Encourage Independence: While it is natural to want to protect our children from failure and disappointment, it is equally important to allow them the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. By encouraging independence and decision-making skills, we empower our children to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. "Empower your children to take ownership of their actions and decisions. Let them learn from their mistakes and grow stronger." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Foster Resilience: Life is not always smooth sailing, and challenges are inevitable. By teaching our children to embrace failures as opportunities for growth, we equip them with the resilience to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and courage. "Resilience is not about avoiding struggles but about facing them head-on and emerging stronger and wiser." ~ Kristianne Wargo In the journey of parenthood, we carry a promise in our hearts - a promise to nurture, support, and guide our children towards a bright and adventurous future. Let us embrace this promise wholeheartedly and empower our children to become the best versions of themselves. Do you have a promise to keep? Yep- go make some lemonade! "Be present. Be incredible.

Desire to be...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Seriously!  Parenting is a journey filled with highs and lows, victories and defeats, laughter and tears. It is a journey where we strive to make the best decisions for our children, to protect them from harm, and to nurture them into strong, compassionate individuals. But in a world filled with uncertainties and struggles, how can we ensure that our children grow up to be resilient and successful? Where do we draw the line for ourselves and for them?

And I'm not just talking to you! By golly, I do the same thing. We rush from one place to another, ticking off tasks, yet feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and lacking in joy. And you wonder why everyone is crabby. Here's the thing, you don't have to live a live from rush. As my friend,, Teresa McCloy says, "You can live a life from rest, not rush." Your craziness and chaos will only simmer down, if you are willing to calm down, too. And that means you gotta simplify the complicated. The K.I.S.S. ~ Simplify the complicated! Reclaim Your Peace through Presence When we're lost in the whirlwind of tasks and obligations, it's easy to lose touch with the present moment. By embracing presence, we can ground ourselves in the here and now, releasing worries about the past and anxieties about the future. Through simple mindfulness practices like deep breathing and mindful awareness, we can cultivate a sense of calm and clarity in the midst of chaos. Slow Down to Savour Life In a world that values speed and efficiency, slowing down can feel counterintuitive. However, it's in these moments of pause that we can truly savor life's beauty and richness. By simplifying our schedules, focusing on one task at a time, and embracing moments of rest and relaxation, we can rediscover the joy of being present in the moment. Release the Burden of Perfectionism Perfectionism can be a heavy weight to carry, causing stress, anxiety, and a sense of never being 'enough.' By letting go of the need for everything to be perfect, we can free ourselves from self-imposed constraints and embrace the beauty of imperfection. Accepting our flaws and limitations allows us to cultivate self-compassion and find joy in the journey, rather than fixating on the destination. Align with Your True Priorities When we're overwhelmed with commitments and responsibilities, it can be challenging to discern what truly matters to us. By clarifying our values, setting boundaries, and aligning our actions with our priorities, we can create a more meaningful and purposeful life. Simplifying our focus allows us to let go of distractions and hone in on what brings us true joy and fulfillment. Rediscover the Beauty of Simple Pleasures In a world that bombards us with stimuli and distractions, it's easy to overlook the beauty of simplicity. By embracing small moments of joy – a sunrise, a warm cup of tea, a heartfelt conversation – we can reconnect with the essence of life. Simplifying our surroundings, decluttering our minds, and making space for moments of quiet reflection can help us appreciate the richness and depth of the present moment. As you navigate the overwhelm and busyness of life, remember that simplicity is not a destination but a daily practice. By embracing the path of simplicity, you can find peace, joy, and fulfillment amidst the chaos. Take a deep breath, slow down, and embrace the beauty of simplicity.

However, the journey towards realizing your dreams is not always smooth sailing. Life has a way of throwing obstacles in our path, disrupting our plans, and challenging our resolve. The world comes at you like a wrecking ball, slowing down your progress, interrupting your plans, and sometimes halting what should have been. How do you escape the world of change so you can embrace the field of your dreams? How do you overcome what should have, would have, or could have been? Where do you draw the line, or do you? How do we navigate these turbulent waters and stay true to our dreams? The K.I.S.S. ~ Listen to your dreams! 1. Cultivate Inner Resilience: One of the keys to staying grounded amidst life's storms is to cultivate inner resilience. Building resilience allows you to weather life's ups and downs without losing sight of your dreams. 2. Stay Committed to Your Vision: In the face of adversity, it's easy to waver in our commitment to our dreams. Stay committed to your vision, even in the face of challenges. This is crucial to overcoming obstacles and turning your dreams into reality. And keep it oh so simple!  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Embrace Your Purpose: Your dreams are not merely whimsical desires but reflections of your deeper purpose and calling in life. Your purpose matters. By embracing your purpose and aligning your actions with your core values, you can experience the field of your dreams. Listen to your dreams. Open your heart and mind. Life requires us to shift and pivot so often, because change is a constant. But that doesn't mean that your field of dreams dies. You can navigate the complexities of life and remain steadfast in your pursuit of your dreams. Listen to your dreams! "Be present. Be incredible.

How do you escape the world of change so you can embrace the field of your dreams? How do you overcome what should have, would have, or could have been? Where do you draw the line, or do you? How do we navigate these turbulent waters and stay true to our dreams? The K.I.S.S. ~ Listen to your dreams! 1. Cultivate Inner Resilience: One of the keys to staying grounded amidst life's storms is to cultivate inner resilience. Building resilience allows you to weather life's ups and downs without losing sight of your dreams. 2. Stay Committed to Your Vision: In the face of adversity, it's easy to waver in our commitment to our dreams. Stay committed to your vision, even in the face of challenges. This is crucial to overcoming obstacles and turning your dreams into reality. And keep it oh so simple!  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Embrace Your Purpose: Your dreams are not merely whimsical desires but reflections of your deeper purpose and calling in life. Your purpose matters. By embracing your purpose and aligning your actions with your core values, you can experience the field of your dreams. Listen to your dreams. Open your heart and mind. Life requires us to shift and pivot so often, because change is a constant. But that doesn't mean that your field of dreams dies. You can navigate the complexities of life and remain steadfast in your pursuit of your dreams. Listen to your dreams! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

"Mind-reading in marriage can lead to feelings of neglect and resentment.

Assuming your spouse knows what you need, only builds walls, not bridges." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Build the bridges! Three Strategies to Avoid Mind-Reading Assumptions: 1. Practice Active Communication: Make a conscious effort to communicate your thoughts and emotions directly, rather than expecting your partner to discern them implicitly.  Instead of assuming your spouse knows you're upset because of a stressful day at work, express your feelings by saying, "I had a tough day today, and I could use some support." 2. Establish Clear Expectations: Clearly outline your expectations and desires to prevent misunderstandings and unmet needs. If you prefer a phone call when your partner is running late, communicate this preference ahead of time to avoid assumptions. 3. Seek Clarification: Instead of jumping to conclusions or assuming your partner's intentions, ask for clarification when in doubt to foster open dialogue and mutual understanding. Instead of assuming your partner's reason for a certain action, ask them directly, "Can you help me understand why you did that?" By proactively engaging in honest conversations, setting clear boundaries, and seeking clarity when needed, couples can sidestep the dangers of mind-reading assumptions and cultivate a relationship grounded in trust, respect, and genuine communication.

And that's where you have the battle of "To Do vs. To Be." What is it like in your home? Depending on the stages and ages of your children, you could be looking at temper tantrums to back talk to fiesty four-letter words to just being ignored. It's a whirlwind of tornados that stretch in ways you never thought you would be stretched.  But you show up for your kids every day! And that's the key! "Parenting is not just about what we do for our children; it's about guiding them to embrace their unique essence and fulfill their divine destiny." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, from what side of the battle are you fighting? Is it that you are too busy and don't make time for heart to heart conversations? Is it that you are in a season that too much is happening and you don't have the stamina and stability to extend yourself further? To Do vs. To Be What can you do to nurture your child not in their outward skills, what everyone sees, but in their inward skills, what everyone feels? The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage more than you direct! Here are three essential strategies for mothers to nurture their children's authentic selves and support them in becoming who God created them to be: 1. Cultivate Meaningful Connections: In the hectic pace of modern life, it's essential to prioritize genuine connections with your children. "Building strong bonds with your child lays the foundation for them to feel seen, heard, and valued." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Dedicate quality time each day for one-on-one conversations with your child, free from distractions. Engage in activities they enjoy, such as baking together, taking walks, or simply sitting down to share stories and laughter. 2. Empower Self-Discovery: Encourage your child to explore their passions, talents, and inner truths. "Facilitating self-discovery allows children to uncover their unique gifts and purpose in life." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Create a "treasure chest" with your child, where they can fill it with items that represent their dreams, aspirations, and interests. Support them in trying new experiences and hobbies, fostering a sense of exploration and self-expression. 3. Embrace Moments of Stillness: Amidst the chaos of daily responsibilities, make space for quiet moments of reflection and connection with your child.  "Silent moments allow for deeper connections and insights to emerge, fostering a sense of peace and clarity." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Establish a daily ritual of gratitude and mindfulness with your child, where you can share what you're thankful for and reflect on the beauty of life together. These moments of stillness can strengthen your bond and nurture your child's spiritual growth. "Parenting is a sacred journey of nurturing your child's heart and soul, guiding them to embrace their true essence and shine brightly in the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing the delicate harmony of "To Do vs. To Be" in your daily interactions with your children, you can create a nurturing environment where they thrive as the unique individuals they were destined to be. "It's not about the busy; it's about the being!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

However, resting is not a luxury reserved for the privileged few; it is a necessity for everyone seeking a healthier, more harmonious life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rest before you break! Resting does not equate to giving up or being lazy. Instead, it is a strategic pause that allows your mind, body, and spirit to recharge, rejuvenate, and refocus. Whether it’s a short power nap, a leisurely walk in nature, or a weekend getaway, incorporating rest into our routine can have profound effects on our well-being. Resting allows our minds to unwind and process the vast amount of information we encounter daily. It gives us the clarity and perspective needed to tackle challenges with renewed energy and creativity. Moreover, rest plays a crucial role in our physical health, helping to reduce stress, improve immune function, and prevent burnout. In a world that values constant motion and endless productivity, it’s time to redefine success and prioritize our well-being.

I want to emphasize the importance of aligning your goals with your everyday life. You need to come down to earth with your ambitions, and create a sustainable path towards a healthier lifestyle; create your now! So, if you want to live a different lifestyle, you gotta humanize your goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Humanize your goals! Here are three practical steps to humanize your goals for healthy living: 1. Personalize Your Approach Instead of setting broad, impersonal goals like "lose weight" or "eat clean", try to tailor your aspirations to suit your individual preferences and lifestyle. For example, if you enjoy dancing, set a goal to incorporate dance workouts into your weekly routine. This way, you're not forcing yourself to do something you dread, but rather integrating an activity that brings you joy. "Your health goals should reflect who you are, not who you think you should be. Embrace activities that align with your passions." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Make Room for Oopsies These are your indulgences. Depriving yourself of your favorite treats can lead to feelings of restriction and eventual burnout. Instead of banning all indulgences, practice moderation and mindfulness in your eating habits. Allow yourself to savor a small serving of your favorite dessert occasionally without any guilt attached. "Healthy living is about harmony, not perfection.

The struggle to resist the temptation of junk is real; try to humanize your goals and live healthily. This is where the concept of...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Yes, you need a challenge, but it shouldn't be something that is so far-fetched that you don't even want to go after it 2 weeks later. I want to emphasize the importance of aligning your goals with your everyday life. You need to come down to earth with your ambitions, and create a sustainable path towards a healthier lifestyle; create your now! So, if you want to live a different lifestyle, you gotta humanize your goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Humanize your goals! Here are three practical steps to humanize your goals for healthy living: 1. Personalize Your Approach Instead of setting broad, impersonal goals like "lose weight" or "eat clean", try to tailor your aspirations to suit your individual preferences and lifestyle. For example, if you enjoy dancing, set a goal to incorporate dance workouts into your weekly routine. This way, you're not forcing yourself to do something you dread, but rather integrating an activity that brings you joy. "Your health goals should reflect who you are, not who you think you should be. Embrace activities that align with your passions." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Make Room for Oopsies These are your indulgences. Depriving yourself of your favorite treats can lead to feelings of restriction and eventual burnout. Instead of banning all indulgences, practice moderation and mindfulness in your eating habits. Allow yourself to savor a small serving of your favorite dessert occasionally without any guilt attached. "Healthy living is about harmony, not perfection. Enjoying a treat now and then can actually contribute to your overall well-being by satisfying your cravings in a controlled manner." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Celebrate Small Wins Break down your ultimate health goals into smaller, tangible milestones that you can celebrate along the way.

Many wonder about the implications of who will lead the country and what impact it will have on their lives. However, amidst the whirlwind of political debates and promises, there is a powerful notion that often goes overlooked – the ability to make decisions that shape your own future, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office. In a world where political landscapes can shift overnight, one thing remains constant – your power to choose. By embracing this mindset, you can unlock a new level of agency and control over your life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Cast a vote for yourself! Here are some key points to consider when it comes to making decisions that align with your dreams, regardless of who wins at the election box: 1. Define Your Dreams: Take the time to reflect on what truly matters to you. What are your long-term goals, aspirations, and values? By clarifying your vision for the future, you can make decisions that are in alignment with your authentic self. 2. Embrace Personal Responsibility: While external factors may influence our circumstances, ultimately, we are the masters of our own destiny. By taking ownership of your choices and actions, you can steer your life in the direction of your dreams. 3. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Approach challenges and setbacks as opportunities for comebacks, growth, and learning. By adopting a growth mindset, you can overcome obstacles with resilience and determination, moving closer to your goals with each decision you make. 4. Take Inspired Action: Rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment or external validation, take inspired action toward your dreams. Each small step you take brings you closer to the reality you envision for yourself. 5. Stay Committed to Your Vision: In the face of uncertainty and change, hold steadfast to your dreams. By staying true to your vision and values, you can navigate life's twists and turns with integrity and purpose. As the 2024 election draws near, remember that the power to shape your future lies within you. By making decisions that reflect your dreams and values, you can create a life that is truly your own, regardless of who emerges victorious at the ballot box. So, dare to cast a vote for yourself – your dreams are waiting for you to make them a reality. "Be present. Be incredible.

This is an inseparable bond between God and His children, emphasizing the security that comes from resting in His love. As humans, we often try to find security in our own strengths and abilities.

This promise of rest in Him is a reminder that we do not have to carry our burdens alone, but can find solace in the loving arms of our Savior. So, sweet friend, if you find yourself searching for a love that is secure and unwavering, look no further than Jesus Christ. Lean on Him, rest in His presence, and allow His love to be the anchor that holds you steady in the midst of life's storms.

A lot of marriages suffer or have problems because the two individuals committed to one another doesn't know the person they see in the mirror. Before extending admiration and consideration to your partner, it is imperative to first honor and respect yourself; love your reflection. "The essence of respecting your significant other stems from acknowledging your own worth and value. Only by nurturing self-respect can we authentically radiate respect towards our beloved." By embracing self-love and self-respect, you pave the way for a deeper connection with your spouse. So, who do you see in the mirror? Are you mad at yourself most of the time? Are you kind to those eyes and that heart? If you want to cultivate respect, you've gotta live it so you can be it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live it so you can be it! You are the only one you control. You can't look to your spouse and tell them they need to respect you more. You get to create your now and show that you respect yourself, and that will translate to your spouse as they need to do the same with you. Three Pillars of Respect: Actions to Strengthen Your Foundation in your marriage. 1. Practice Active Listening Truly listening to your partner without interruptions or distractions demonstrates a deep level of respect. "Listening is more than hearing words; it is understanding the emotions behind them. When we listen actively, we show our partner that their thoughts and feelings matter." "Communication transcends mere words; it embodies the art of active listening – listening not to respond, but to understand. Genuine respect flourishes when we honor and value our partner's voice." 2. Express Appreciation and Gratitude Regularly acknowledging and appreciating your partner's efforts and qualities cultivates an atmosphere of respect and admiration. "Gratitude is the language of respect in marriage. By expressing appreciation, we not only lift our partner's spirits but also strengthen the foundation of our relationship." 3. Set Boundaries and Honor Differences Respecting your partner's boundaries and accepting their individuality is crucial for fostering mutual respect. "Respect thrives in a space where boundaries are respected, and differences are honored. Embracing each other's uniqueness strengthens the fabric of your bond." What you are doing is crafting a symphony of unconditional love that has the rhythms of respect, forgiveness, and confidence. Let the melody of your daily dance of empathy and compassion be the thread that binds you together. Respect in marriage is not a static principle, but a dynamic practice that demands intentional effort and devotion. "Be present. Be incredible.

You get to create your now and show that you respect yourself, and that will translate to your spouse as they need to do the same with you. Three Pillars of Respect: Actions to Strengthen Your Foundation in your marriage. 1. Practice Active Listening Truly listening to your partner without interruptions or distractions demonstrates a deep level of respect. "Listening is more than hearing words; it is understanding the emotions behind them. When we listen actively, we show our partner that their thoughts and feelings matter." "Communication transcends mere words; it embodies the art of active listening – listening not to respond, but to understand. Genuine respect flourishes when we honor and value our partner's voice." 2. Express Appreciation and Gratitude Regularly acknowledging and appreciating your partner's efforts and qualities cultivates an atmosphere of respect and admiration. "Gratitude is the language of respect in marriage. By expressing appreciation, we not only lift our partner's spirits but also strengthen the foundation of our relationship." 3. Set Boundaries and Honor Differences Respecting your partner's boundaries and accepting their individuality is crucial for fostering mutual respect. "Respect thrives in a space where boundaries are respected, and differences are honored. Embracing each other's uniqueness strengthens the fabric of your bond." What you are doing is crafting a symphony of unconditional love that has the rhythms of respect, forgiveness, and confidence. Let the melody of your daily dance of empathy and compassion be the thread that binds you together. Respect in marriage is not a static principle, but a dynamic practice that demands intentional effort and devotion. "Be present. Be incredible.

Here are three key things you can do to support them in this journey: 1. Set Clear Expectations with Consistency: Communicate openly with your child about the importance of routines and how they contribute to their overall well-being and success. Encourage them to participate in creating their schedules, making them feel invested in the process. "Clarity breeds consistency. Consistency ignites productivity." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing their parents, so it's crucial to exemplify good habits and routines in your own life. Show them the benefits of structure and organization through your actions. "Your children see you. Be the example. Let consistency be the guiding light for their childhood success." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Provide Support and Flexibility: While routines are essential, it's also crucial to be understanding and flexible when necessary. Life can be unpredictable, and teaching your child to adapt to changes while maintaining their core routines will equip them with valuable life skills. "Routines provide a solid foundation, but it's the flexibility within them that cultivates resilience." ~ Kristianne Wargo By implementing these strategies and fostering a supportive environment, you can help your child navigate time zone changes without letting them become obstacles to their success. Remember, never let the ticking clock dictate your child's potential. Empower them to own their time and routines. "Be present. Be incredible.

You illuminate the darkest night.

Remember your worth, your inner glow,
Embrace your strength, your spirit tough,
And let your resilience show.

Unleash your light, embrace your life,

We do what we think is best, sometimes missing the most fragile pivot because of the chaos around us. We're too busy!! What else is there to say? Think about how you are living out your purpose. In fact, do you know your purpose? Now, I do believe that as you grow older and wiser, your purpose can shift. Yet, how do you get from where you are to where you know you should be headed, if you don't know. Ya know? Confused yet?!? Who isn't? Life is complicated. Life is beautiful. Life is chaotic. Life is ever-changing. Life is frustrating. Life is life. However, life becomes more meaningful when you know the path. Get ready to find the pulse on life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the P.U.L.S.E.! And that P.U.L.S.E. is the Path to Understanding Life's Spiritual Essence. Let's dive into the spiritual aspect of this conundrum, using wisdom from the Bible to guide us along the way. P - Pause for Reflection "Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10 Take moments throughout your day to pause, breathe, and reflect on your thoughts and emotions. This practice of mindfulness allows you to tune into your inner guidance and align with your true purpose. U - Unite with Positive Influences "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." - Proverbs 13:20 Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you on your journey. Connect with individuals who share your values and support your growth, fostering a positive environment for personal development. L - Listen to Your Inner Voice "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." - John 10:27 Tune into your intuition and inner wisdom to gain insights into the direction you should be heading. Trust the whispers of your soul and let your inner guidance lead you toward clarity and alignment. S - Set Clear Intentions "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." - Proverbs 16:3 Define your goals and aspirations with clarity, breaking them down into actionable steps. By setting specific intentions and working towards them diligently, you can navigate your path with purpose and direction. E - Embrace the Journey "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 Embrace each moment of your journey with gratitude and openness. Life's path may have twists and turns, but by embracing the experience and staying true to your values, you can find clarity and fulfillment along the way. Finding certainty in the path you're on is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual alignment. By incorporating these steps into your daily life, you can navigate with confidence and purpose.

Whether seeking guidance from God or from within, finding clarity on life's path is essential for a fulfilling life. Who doesn't want to live out their purpose?...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But we can get lost in the noise and lose sight of the path we're meant to be on. We do what we think is best, sometimes missing the most fragile pivot because of the chaos around us. We're too busy!! What else is there to say? Think about how you are living out your purpose. In fact, do you know your purpose? Now, I do believe that as you grow older and wiser, your purpose can shift. Yet, how do you get from where you are to where you know you should be headed, if you don't know. Ya know? Confused yet?!? Who isn't? Life is complicated. Life is beautiful. Life is chaotic. Life is ever-changing. Life is frustrating. Life is life. However, life becomes more meaningful when you know the path. Get ready to find the pulse on life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the P.U.L.S.E.! And that P.U.L.S.E. is the Path to Understanding Life's Spiritual Essence. Let's dive into the spiritual aspect of this conundrum, using wisdom from the Bible to guide us along the way. P - Pause for Reflection "Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10 Take moments throughout your day to pause, breathe, and reflect on your thoughts and emotions. This practice of mindfulness allows you to tune into your inner guidance and align with your true purpose. U - Unite with Positive Influences "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." - Proverbs 13:20 Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you on your journey. Connect with individuals who share your values and support your growth, fostering a positive environment for personal development. L - Listen to Your Inner Voice "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." - John 10:27 Tune into your intuition and inner wisdom to gain insights into the direction you should be heading. Trust the whispers of your soul and let your inner guidance lead you toward clarity and alignment. S - Set Clear Intentions "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." - Proverbs 16:3 Define your goals and aspirations with clarity, breaking them down into actionable steps. By setting specific intentions and working towards them diligently, you can navigate your path with purpose and direction. E - Embrace the Journey "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 Embrace each moment of your journey with gratitude and openness. Life's path may have twists and turns, but by embracing the experience and staying true to your values, you can find clarity and fulfillment along the way. Finding certainty in the path you're on is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual alignment. By incorporating these steps into your daily life, you can navigate with confidence and purpose. "The path may not always be clear, but with faith and determination, you can walk it with grace." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

You have a safe haven in His arms, a place of solace where you can find the strength to face whatever comes your way.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."

Recognizing and addressing destructive patterns such as this is crucial in your marriage. "When you constantly feel like nothing you do is good enough for your partner, it's time to take a step back and reassess your priorities. You are worthy of love and acceptance just as you are, flaws and all." ~ Kristianne Wargo REFLECTION: Where are you when it comes to feeling like nothing you do is good enough? And be honest with yourself. Maybe you are struggling personally or as a couple. Maybe it applies to you only in certain situations. Regardless, if you want a change, you have to know what needs to change. You've got to acknowledge the hidden secrets. The K.I.S.S. ~ Acknowledge the hidden secrets! And it's not the hidden secrets that you might be thinking of (i.e., affairs, gambling, drinking, drugs, etc.). But you have to be willing to bring out what's hiding in the dark into the light. Then, you can make changes accordingly. The first step in breaking free from the mindset that nothing you do is good enough is to CHALLENGE THE BELIEF. Your worth is not defined by your ability to meet unrealistic standards or assumptions; rather, it lies in your inherent value as a person. Instead of seeking validation from external sources, focus on cultivating self-compassion and self-acceptance. "You have to love yourself first before someone can love you." ~ Kristianne Wargo COMMUNICATION is key in any relationship, and addressing these feelings of inadequacy with your spouse is crucial. Express your concerns openly and honestly, allowing room for vulnerability and understanding. Remember, your partner is your ally, not your adversary. Together, you can work towards a healthier, more balanced dynamic based on mutual respect and support. In overcoming the cycle of perfectionism, you need to consider the importance of SELF-REFLECTION AND PERSONAL GROWTH. "Take the time to reconnect with yourself and rediscover your passions and strengths. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, and watch as your relationships transform." ~ Kristianne Wargo By prioritizing your own well-being and self-worth, you can break free from the suffocating grip of perfectionism and rediscover the joy and authenticity in your marriage. Remember, you are enough, just as you are. "The love that binds comes from two hearts; one you know and the other you connect with." ~ Kristianne Wargo "True love begins with loving your reflection. Embrace your imperfections and let your light shine bright in the darkness of doubt." ~ Kristianne Wargo Overcoming the belief that nothing you do is good enough requires a shift in your mindset and a commitment to saying, "I need to do what I can control first and then reach beyond my own reflection."

The K.I.S.S. ~ Live life with YOUR flare! Here are three things parents can do to rise above the disappointments of their children: 1. Self-Reflection and Self-Care: Take time for self-reflection to process your emotions and thoughts about the situation. Engage in activities that bring you peace and joy, whether it's meditation, exercise, or hobbies. Remember, you can only support your child effectively when you take care of yourself first. 2. Seek Support from Other Parents or a Therapist: It can be beneficial to seek support from fellow parents who may have experienced similar situations. Sharing your feelings and seeking advice from a trusted community can provide you with valuable insights and perspectives. Consider consulting a therapist or counselor to navigate through your emotions in a safe and confidential environment. 3. Set Boundaries and Practice Patience: Establish clear boundaries to protect your emotional well-being and maintain a healthy relationship with your child. Communicate your expectations calmly and assertively, and practice patience as you work through the challenges. Remember that it's okay to prioritize your mental health and set limits to ensure a harmonious environment for yourself and your family. Your child's disappointments have nothing to do with you!  They have to own their actions. Now, I will say that you do have an extreme influence on your children. So, depending on the age, it is important to look at how you can be a better parent.  However, if the kiddo is of age, they bear the responsibilities. You don't have to like what they did, but you can still love your child. "Be present. Be incredible.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what works now! Here are three strategies to keep moving forward and avoid the trap of constantly beginning again: 1. Celebrate Small Wins: Instead of focusing solely on the end goal, acknowledge and celebrate the small victories along the way. As I often say, "Progress, no matter how small, is still progress." Whether it's choosing a salad over fast food or squeezing in a quick workout, every positive choice counts. By recognizing and appreciating these incremental achievements, you can stay motivated and continue making strides toward your ultimate objective. 2. Embrace Consistency Over Perfection: It's essential to prioritize consistency in your efforts rather than striving for perfection. I believe that "Consistency beats perfection every time." Establishing sustainable habits, even if they're not flawless, is key to long-term success. Remember, it's better to consistently eat well and exercise moderately than to sporadically dive into extreme routines that are unsustainable. By consistently making healthier choices, you'll build momentum and avoid the cycle of constantly starting over. 3. Reflect and Adjust: Regularly assess your progress and adjust your approach as needed. Reflecting on what's working and what's not can help you course-correct and stay on track. My motto is, "Reflection is the compass that points you in the right direction." If certain strategies haven't yielded the desired results, don't be afraid to pivot and try new tactics. Learning from setbacks and adapting your plan accordingly is a powerful way to break the cycle of starting over and achieving lasting lifestyle changes. It's understandable to feel worn out by the prospect of repeatedly beginning anew on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. However, by celebrating small wins, prioritizing consistency over perfection, and being willing to reflect and adjust, you can escape the cycle of starting over and move closer to your wellness goals one step at a time. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about progress. So, are you ready to break free from the endless loop of starting over and commit to sustained growth and improvement? The power to change lies within you. "Be present. Be incredible.

Walk, don't run! In a world that glorifies hustle culture and constant motion, the art of slowing down can often feel like a revolutionary act. "Walk Don't Run" challenges the notion that speed equals success and invites us to reconsider our approach to life's journey. Picture this: you have a clear destination in mind, a goal you're determined to reach. It's tempting to sprint towards it, fueled by adrenaline and the promise of accomplishment. But what if, instead of racing ahead, you choose to walk with purpose and intention? The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk, don't run! Walking allows us to savor the journey, to notice the subtle beauty that unfolds with each step. It gives us the space to pause, to reflect, to truly connect with our surroundings and ourselves. In a world that moves at breakneck speed, walking offers a respite, a chance to recalibrate and realign our priorities. You can't rush greatness. True excellence requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to embrace the process. Slow down and walk with mindfulness. Give yourself the gift of presence, allowing you to fully engage with the world around you. So next time you feel the urge to sprint towards your goals, remember the power of walking. Take a moment to pause, to breathe, to appreciate the journey for what it is. In a world obsessed with speed, walking reminds us to move at our own pace, to honor the rhythm of life, and to embrace each step with intention. Walk, Don't Run! In the dance of life, where the heart and head align, One step at a time, a journey divine. Let the whispers of passion guide your way, Fueling the fire that lights your day.   Connect the beats of your heart with thoughts so clear, For in harmony lies the path to steer. Each step you take, a stride towards fate, One foot in front, no need to hesitate.   Merge the wisdom of mind with the warmth of soul, A symphony of purpose, a harmonious goal. Embrace the journey, embrace the climb, For one step at a time leads to greatness in time.   Listen to your heart, let it lead the way, While the mind keeps focus, day by day. In this fusion of love and logic so prime, Miles of greatness awaits, one step at a time. "Be present. Be incredible.

But at every finish line, there is a starting point. Unfortunately, many people get stuck in reaching their dreams, because they are caught in what happens next.  🌟Congratulations, you've reached your goal! 🌟 The sense of accomplishment washes over you, but then a wave of uncertainty hits - what happens next? While achieving your dreams is a major milestone, it's crucial to have a plan for the next steps. It's not unusual for many individuals to find themselves stuck at this juncture, unsure of how to move forward. So, what happens next? The K.I.S.S. ~ Navigate the next steps! Here are three key strategies to help you navigate the post-success phase and chart a course for further growth: 1. Reflect and Reassess After reaching a goal, take some time to reflect on your journey. Consider what went well, what challenges you faced, and what you learned along the way. This introspection can provide valuable insights and pave the way for setting new objectives. "Self-reflection is the compass that guides us towards our next destination." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: You've successfully completed a marathon. Take a moment to analyze your training routine, nutrition plan, and mental strategies. Identify areas for improvement and set new fitness targets to continue pushing your boundaries. 2. Set New Goals Rather than getting complacent after achieving one milestone, use it as a springboard to set new, captivating goals. Having a clear vision of what you want to accomplish next can reignite your passion and drive. "Goals are not just a destination but a journey towards continuous growth. By setting your goals, you are setting your rhythm." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: You've published your first book. Now, aim to write a series or explore a different genre. Setting specific objectives, like completing a certain number of chapters per month, can keep you focused and motivated. 3. Seek Guidance and Support Don't be afraid to reach out for help when navigating uncharted territories. Surround yourself with mentors, peers, or coaches who can provide valuable advice and support. Collaboration and feedback from others can offer fresh perspectives and propel you towards new opportunities. "In seeking guidance, you show strength, not weakness." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: You've expanded your small business successfully. Connect with industry experts or join networking events to gather insights on scaling up operations. Learning from experienced entrepreneurs can help you avoid pitfalls and accelerate your business growth. Think "Shark Tank." Reaching a goal is just the beginning of a new chapter in your journey. By reflecting on your achievements, setting ambitious goals, and seeking support, you can gracefully transition to the next phase of success.  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

To love one another as God loves us means to embrace one another's flaws and imperfections with grace and understanding, just as the Lord extends His mercy to each and every one of us. In 1 John 4:7-8, we are reminded that "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." This profound truth underscores the interconnectedness between our capacity to love one another and our spiritual relationship with God. The K.I.S.S. ~ As I have loved you! Yet, amidst our efforts to extend love outwardly to others, we often neglect an essential aspect of this commandment: the importance of self-love. In Mark 12:31, Jesus instructs us to "Love your neighbor as yourself." This suggests that loving others is intricately linked to loving ourselves, recognizing our inherent worthiness, and embracing our own humanity with compassion. It is crucial to remember that self-love is not synonymous with selfishness or narcissism but rather a profound acceptance of ourselves as beloved children of God. In Psalm 139:14, we are reminded, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Embracing this divine truth enables us to love others from a place of wholeness and authenticity, nurturing relationships rooted in mutual respect and understanding. As we navigate the complexities of human relationships, let us heed the words of Romans 12:10: "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." By cultivating a spirit of love and humility in our interactions with others, we bear witness to the transformative power of God's love working through us. May we seek to embody the essence of God's love in our daily lives, extending grace, forgiveness, and compassion to all those we encounter. Let us embrace the profound truth that loving one another as God loves us begins with a deep and abiding love for ourselves, fostering a ripple effect of kindness and unity in our communities. Embrace God's love within your heart, and let it illuminate the world around you with its radiant beauty. You are worthy. You are loved. And in the words of 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." May you walk in the light of God's love, sharing its boundless grace with all whom you meet. "Be present. Be incredible.

REFLECTION: How do you communicate with your spouse when arguments are on the horizon? If you want to have an incredible marriage, you must have strong communication skills. The K.I.S.S. ~ Enhance your communication skills! Here are three tips for spouses to navigate communication effectively: 1. Timing is Everything: Knowing when to share your thoughts and feelings is crucial. If a hot topic arises and emotions are running high, it might be better to wait until both parties have cooled down before discussing it further. This allows for a more productive and constructive conversation rather than a heated argument. "Timing is everything in communication. It's important to choose the right moment to address important issues to ensure they are received well." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Choose Your Battles Wisely: Not every disagreement needs to turn into a full-blown argument. Sometimes it's better to let minor issues go in order to maintain peace in the relationship. Save your energy for the things that truly matter and can impact the health of your marriage in the long run. "Pick your battles wisely. Not every disagreement needs to be turned into a fight. Focus on what truly matters to you both." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice Active Listening: You cannot communicate or say you are communicating if you do not listen! Communication is a two-way street. It's important not only to express your own thoughts and feelings but also to listen actively to your partner. Show empathy, ask questions, and truly try to understand where they're coming from. This can help prevent misunderstandings and show that you value their perspective in the relationship. "Active listening is key in every conversation. Make sure to give your partner the space to express themselves fully and listen with an open mind." ~ Kristianne Wargo Research shows that couples who communicate effectively are more likely to have successful and long-lasting relationships. By implementing these strategies, you can navigate disagreements and strengthen their bond through open and honest communication. Remember, in the journey of marriage, cutting to the chase with kindness and respect can lead to deeper understanding and connection between partners. So, don't hold back - speak your truth, but do it with love. "Communication is not just about talking; it's about understanding and being understood in the most authentic way possible. Communicating is holding the heart while listening to their words." ~ Kristianne Wargo So what do you think? Time to cut to the chase? "Be present. Be incredible.

In marriage, there are times when you need to cut to the chase and say it like it is. In the world of marriage,...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  With divorce rates showing that around 40-50% of marriages end in divorce, mastering the art of communication is more important than ever. REFLECTION: How do you communicate with your spouse when arguments are on the horizon? If you want to have an incredible marriage, you must have strong communication skills. The K.I.S.S. ~ Enhance your communication skills! Here are three tips for spouses to navigate communication effectively: 1. Timing is Everything: Knowing when to share your thoughts and feelings is crucial. If a hot topic arises and emotions are running high, it might be better to wait until both parties have cooled down before discussing it further. This allows for a more productive and constructive conversation rather than a heated argument. "Timing is everything in communication. It's important to choose the right moment to address important issues to ensure they are received well." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Choose Your Battles Wisely: Not every disagreement needs to turn into a full-blown argument. Sometimes it's better to let minor issues go in order to maintain peace in the relationship. Save your energy for the things that truly matter and can impact the health of your marriage in the long run. "Pick your battles wisely. Not every disagreement needs to be turned into a fight. Focus on what truly matters to you both." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice Active Listening: You cannot communicate or say you are communicating if you do not listen! Communication is a two-way street. It's important not only to express your own thoughts and feelings but also to listen actively to your partner. Show empathy, ask questions, and truly try to understand where they're coming from.

You might be able to find times of simplicity, but that doesn't make it easy. Hard decisions will be made. No will be said. Yes will be wished. And then there are the tears. Don't you just want to be a parent? It is the best thing in the world, but oh so challenging. The K.I.S.S. ~ Set the foundation with love! Early Childhood (Ages 0-5) 1. Create a Safe Haven: For young children, feeling safe and secure is paramount. Establishing routines, such as consistent bedtime rituals and mealtime schedules, can provide a sense of predictability and stability. Additionally, offering physical affection and validation of emotions can reassure children that they are loved and supported. - Kristianne Wargo: "In the chaos of life, consistency is key. Children thrive when they know what to expect and can rely on your unwavering love." 2. Encourage Emotional Expression: Young children may not have the vocabulary to articulate their feelings verbally. Encourage the use of art, play, or storytelling as tools for self-expression. Creating a safe space for them to share their emotions without judgment fosters trust and emotional resilience. 3. Model Resilience: Children learn by example, and witnessing how parents navigate challenges can shape their own resilience. Demonstrate problem-solving skills, adaptability, and positive coping strategies when facing difficulties. Showcasing a growth mindset can empower children to view setbacks as opportunities for growth. - Kristianne Wargo: "Life is full of ups and downs. It's not about avoiding challenges but about how you bounce back from them that matters." Childhood (Ages 6-12) 1. Open Communication: Encourage open discussions with your child about their fears, concerns, and challenges. Actively listen to their perspective and validate their feelings. By fostering a safe environment for dialogue, you help build trust and strengthen your bond. 2. Empower Problem-Solving Skills: Teach your child problem-solving techniques and encourage autonomy in decision-making. By empowering them to tackle challenges independently, you boost their confidence and resilience. Celebrate their successes and provide guidance if they face setbacks. - Kristianne Wargo: "Empower your child to believe in their ability to overcome obstacles. Building problem-solving skills early on prepares them for life's complexities." 3. Establish Support Networks: Nurture relationships with teachers, mentors, and peers to create a supportive community for your child. Encourage participation in extracurricular activities that foster social connections and a sense of belonging. Knowing they have a network of caring individuals reinforces their sense of security. Adolescence (Ages 13-18) 1. Encourage Independence: Adolescents crave independence and autonomy. Allow them to make decisions and take on responsibilities gradually. By respecting their growing autonomy, you show trust in their judgment and capabilities, enhancing their self-esteem. - Kristianne Wargo: "Empower your teenager with choices that respect their maturity level. Guiding them while granting independence fosters a sense of security and self-assurance." 2. Promote Self-Care: Adolescence is a period of significant personal growth and potential stress. Encourage healthy habits such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and sufficient sleep. Teach them coping mechanisms like mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage stress effectively. 3. Discuss Future Plans: Engage in conversations about their future aspirations and offer guidance in setting realistic goals. Support their academic pursuits and career interests while acknowledging their individual passions. By aligning their future plans with their values, you help them feel grounded and secure in their journey. - Kristianne Wargo: "Navigating adolescence can be overwhelming for teens. By discussing their future plans and aspirations, you provide them with a roadmap that instills confidence and security." Supporting Adult Children (Ages 18+) 1. Respect Their Autonomy: Acknowledge and respect your adult child's independence and decision-making abilities. Avoid imposing your opinions or hovering over their choices. Trust that they have the skills and judgment to navigate their own paths, while offering guidance when requested. - Kristianne Wargo: "Empower your adult child by respecting their independence and autonomy. Letting go doesn't mean disconnecting; it means trusting their capabilities and choices." 2. Encourage Open Communication: Maintain open lines of communication with your adult child, fostering a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding. Create a safe space for them to share their experiences, challenges, and achievements without fear of judgment. Listen actively and offer support where needed. - Kristianne Wargo: "Communication remains vital, even as children become adults. Encourage open dialogue to strengthen your bond and provide a sense of security." 3. Offer Emotional Support: Adult children may face various life transitions, such as career changes, relationships, or parenthood. Be a supportive presence during their triumphs and setbacks, offering encouragement, empathy, and practical guidance. Let them know you are there as a source of unwavering love and support. - Kristianne Wargo: "Providing emotional support to adult children reassures them of your continued presence and care, bolstering their confidence and sense of security." 4. Respect Their Boundaries: Recognize and respect your adult child's boundaries and personal space. Avoid crossing emotional or physical boundaries without their consent, and be mindful of their need for independence. Demonstrating respect for their autonomy reinforces their sense of security in the relationship. - Kristianne Wargo: "Respecting boundaries shows your adult child that you value their autonomy and trust them to navigate their lives, fostering a sense of security and mutual respect." Tailoring your approach to the specific needs and developmental stages of your child ensures that they feel secure, supported, and empowered to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence. Remember, your unwavering love and guidance are the pillars of strength that create a foundation of security for your child at every age. "Be present. Be incredible.

But what about those moments when fear and doubt start to cloud our judgment? It's normal to feel hesitant when faced with uncertainty, but it's how we choose to respond that truly matters.

"Healthy living is not just about what others see, but how you behave when no one is watching." ~ Kristianne Wargo The habits we cultivate in private, away from the eyes of social scrutiny, ultimately shape our overall well-being. Think about what you do in private vs. what you do in public. How are they the same, or maybe how different are they? Are you careful what you eat so people think you are really an active health nut? Or when you close your doors, do you run for the ice cream and potato chips? What does your every day look like now? If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, you get to thrive behind closed doors. The K.I.S.S. ~ Thrive behind closed doors! Here are three essential strategies to thrive behind closed doors and build a strong foundation for a healthier lifestyle: 1. Set Realistic Goals: Establishing clear, achievable goals is crucial when it comes to maintaining healthy habits in private. I can't emphasize enough the importance of setting intentions that resonate with your personal values and motivations. Whether it's committing to regular exercise, mindful eating, or stress management techniques, having specific goals helps to guide your actions when no one else is around to witness them. What goal do you need to set? 2. Create a Supportive Environment: Building a supportive environment within your home and personal space is essential for sustaining healthy habits behind closed doors. Surround yourself with positive influences, such as nutritious foods, fitness equipment, and motivational reminders. "Your environment plays a significant role in shaping your behaviors. Make sure your surroundings encourage and support your wellness journey."~ Kristianne Wargo What do you need to dust off and bring out into the open? 3. Practice Self-Compassion: Above all, practicing self-compassion is key to thriving behind closed doors. I must stress the importance of being kind to yourself, especially during moments of struggle or setbacks. Cultivate a mindset of self-acceptance and forgiveness, giving yourself that grace, realizing that progress is a journey with ups and downs. Remember, healthy living is not about perfection but about consistency and self-care. What kind and compassionate phrase can you repeat to yourself today? Research shows that individuals who prioritize their well-being in private are more likely to experience long-lasting results compared to those solely focused on external validation. According to a study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, self-regulation and intrinsic motivation play vital roles in sustaining healthy behaviors over time. It is important to cultivate a strong inner foundation for healthy living behind closed doors. By setting realistic goals, creating a supportive environment, and practicing self-compassion, you can achieve sustainable wellness outcomes even when no one is watching. Remember, your personal commitment to health is what truly matters, both on display and behind closed doors. "Be present. Be incredible.

What if we could embody the spirit of the bear and face our fears head-on, no matter how daunting the challenge may seem? Life is full of uncertainties and challenges, some of which may leave us feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed with fear. It's easy to stay within our comfort zones, avoiding the unknown and sticking to what feels safe and familiar. But what if the key to unlocking your true potential lies in embracing your fears, just like a bear does when it's confronted with a formidable adversary? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be a bear, do it scared! Being a bear means tapping into your inner reservoir of courage and determination, even when every fiber of your being is screaming at you to run in the opposite direction. It means standing tall in the face of adversity, knowing that you have the strength and resilience to overcome whatever obstacles life throws your way. So, the next time you find yourself hesitating to take that leap of faith, remember the bear. Be bold, be fearless, and most importantly, be willing to do it scared.    Be A Bear, Do It Scared! (by Kristianne Wargo) In the shadows where the brave ones tread, A mighty bear with courage led. Through the forest, through the night, Fearless heart, eyes burning bright.   "Do it scared," the whispers say, Embrace the challenge, come what may.

But what if what you need requires you to be a bear, do it scared? Would you be willing? In the wild, bears are revered for their strength,...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But what if I told you that there's a lesson we can learn from these majestic creatures? What if we could embody the spirit of the bear and face our fears head-on, no matter how daunting the challenge may seem? Life is full of uncertainties and challenges, some of which may leave us feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed with fear. It's easy to stay within our comfort zones, avoiding the unknown and sticking to what feels safe and familiar. But what if the key to unlocking your true potential lies in embracing your fears, just like a bear does when it's confronted with a formidable adversary? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be a bear, do it scared! Being a bear means tapping into your inner reservoir of courage and determination, even when every fiber of your being is screaming at you to run in the opposite direction. It means standing tall in the face of adversity, knowing that you have the strength and resilience to overcome whatever obstacles life throws your way. So, the next time you find yourself hesitating to take that leap of faith, remember the bear. Be bold, be fearless, and most importantly, be willing to do it scared.    Be A Bear, Do It Scared! (by Kristianne Wargo) In the shadows where the brave ones tread, A mighty bear with courage led. Through the forest, through the night, Fearless heart, eyes burning bright.   "Do it scared," the whispers say, Embrace the challenge, come what may. For strength lies deep within your soul, Emboldened by your fears, you'll reach the goal.   Be a bear, stand tall and strong, Facing fears, where you belong. Roar with might, against the tide, Embrace the fear, let your spirit guide.   In the darkness, find your light, Be a bear, fearless in your fight. With trembling hands and beating heart, You'll find the courage to make a start.   So heed the call, do it scared, Embrace your fears, be unimpaired. For in your heart, the bear resides, Courageous spirit, never hides.   Embrace the wild within your core, Be a bear, forever more.

Life can leave us perplexed living in a swirling attitude of entitlement that we deserve something different than what we've got. Lord, why don't You answer the way I want? Why don't You hear me the first time? As a mom, I can understand why God doesn't hear us. Because the way we want to be heard is not always what's best. Yet, we wrestle with the idea that His answers are better than ours. How can you trust God when He doesn't answer your prayers the way you want? The K.I.S.S. ~ Trusting God is hard sometimes! In the quiet moments of our lives, when we find ourselves alone with our thoughts, the hope is that we find the guidance, comfort, and understanding that we specifically want. We pray, we plead, we question. Why does it seem like our prayers go unanswered? Why doesn't God respond in the way we hope He would? We believe that we deserve a different path, a better outcome. In the corner of the shower, our tears release the hurt and pain in our hearts out to God, asking for specific answers, yearning for solutions that align with our desires. But what if His silence is a response in itself? Perhaps His plan for us is beyond what our limited vision can comprehend. As a mother, I've come to realize that sometimes not giving my children what they want is the perfect act of love. I see the bigger picture, the long-term implications, the greater good. Could this be the same for our Heavenly Father? Could His seeming silence be a way of gently guiding you toward a path that leads to your ultimate fulfillment and purpose? Proverbs 3:5-6 ~ "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths." This verse serves as a reminder that our own comprehension is limited, but God's wisdom knows no bounds. By surrendering ourselves to His will, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities that we could never have imagined. Trusting God is a journey, not a destination. It requires faith, patience, and a willingness to let go of our preconceived notions of what is best for us. It's called surrender! And that surrender involves a deep-seated belief that God's plan for you is far greater than anything you could dream of. So, in those moments of doubt and confusion, remember to listen, to discern, and to trust that God has your best interests at heart. Don't lose what God has put right in front of you! Stay entangled in His will and leave yours at the door. Find the heavenly comfort right here and right now in the knowledge that even when trusting God is hard, it is ultimately the greatest blessing you'll ever receive here on earth. "Be present.

Like I said, "Children leave a mark on your heart and a hole in your mind." They leave that impression, right, on the heart, but how we come around them and support them requires more brain power than running the International Space Center. However, as we navigate the journey of parenthood, it's essential to strike a balance between being the parent our child needs and loving them right where they're at. This challenge is real. And it's not like we only have to deal with it once in a season, like Hurricane Helene or Milton. As I'm sure you're well aware, kid's hurricanes come daily. But at the same time, your heart screams out to not "punish" or "discipline" them. Yet, what does your child really need? What if you could write your younger child-self a letter, what would tell yourself?

• Hugs all the time. 
• Consistency with commitment.
• Boundaries that are enforced.
• Less digital and more physical.
• Your presence is required.

So much of our lives are forced into what we should or should not do based on public opinion. What about what is right for your child? What if you led with loving the way your child needs to be loved? The K.I.S.S. ~ Love the way your child needs! And that means you have to know your child and know what is required for their success, not based on how you feel or what others say about how you parent or how you are as a parent. Your kiddos come first! Why would you settle for what doesn't matter? Your children, your family matter. You've got to find that balance between your head and your heart. How can you achieve this delicate equilibrium, since we're going all science today? 1. Embrace Imperfection: Parenting is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours. Instead of striving for unattainable perfection, allow yourself to be imperfect. "No matter what you do, your children leave footprints on your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo By accepting your flaws and mistakes, you set an invaluable example for your child – one that emphasizes resilience, self-compassion, and the beauty of imperfection. 2. Prioritize Self-Care: In the whirlwind of parenting responsibilities, it's easy to overlook our own needs. Yet, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit is crucial for maintaining a strong and loving connection with your child. "How can you be the parent your child needs without losing your heart in the process?" ~ Kristianne Wargo Whether it's carving out moments of solitude, engaging in activities that bring you joy, or seeking support from loved ones, prioritizing self-care enables you to show up for your child with a full and open heart. Yep--your heart is going to get stepped on. But the indelible mark you leave with them, will be greater than the initial shock. 3. Cultivate Connection Through Communication: Effective communication forms the bedrock of any relationship, including the one between parent and child. Take the time to truly listen to your child's thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or interruption. "Remember, there is so much to teach in only a few years to last a lifetime." ~ Kristianne Wargo By fostering open and honest communication, you create a safe space where your child feels seen, heard, and valued – strengthening the bond between you and leaving space for those timeless footprints on your heart. Parenthood is a dance between guiding, nurturing, and learning from our children. It's truly about wanting to be the parents our children need while cherishing the love that they so richly deserve. "No matter what you do, your children leave footprints on your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace those footprints, cherish the journey, and let unconditional love be the light that leaves an indelible mark on their hearts.

There is so much to teach in a few years that lasts a lifetime. Your children leave footprints on your heart. It's the indelible marks that shape who we are...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  From the moment they come into our lives, they begin teaching us lessons that we never knew we needed to learn. Like I said, "Children leave a mark on your heart and a hole in your mind." They leave that impression, right, on the heart, but how we come around them and support them requires more brain power than running the International Space Center. However, as we navigate the journey of parenthood, it's essential to strike a balance between being the parent our child needs and loving them right where they're at. This challenge is real. And it's not like we only have to deal with it once in a season, like Hurricane Helene or Milton. As I'm sure you're well aware, kid's hurricanes come daily. But at the same time, your heart screams out to not "punish" or "discipline" them. Yet, what does your child really need? What if you could write your younger child-self a letter, what would tell yourself?

• Hugs all the time. 
• Consistency with commitment.
• Boundaries that are enforced.
• Less digital and more physical.
• Your presence is required.

So much of our lives are forced into what we should or should not do based on public opinion. What about what is right for your child? What if you led with loving the way your child needs to be loved? The K.I.S.S. ~ Love the way your child needs! And that means you have to know your child and know what is required for their success, not based on how you feel or what others say about how you parent or how you are as a parent. Your kiddos come first! Why would you settle for what doesn't matter? Your children, your family matter. You've got to find that balance between your head and your heart. How can you achieve this delicate equilibrium, since we're going all science today? 1. Embrace Imperfection: Parenting is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours. Instead of striving for unattainable perfection, allow yourself to be imperfect. "No matter what you do, your children leave footprints on your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo By accepting your flaws and mistakes, you set an invaluable example for your child – one that emphasizes resilience, self-compassion, and the beauty of imperfection. 2. Prioritize Self-Care: In the whirlwind of parenting responsibilities, it's easy to overlook our own needs. Yet, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit is crucial for maintaining a strong and loving connection with your child. "How can you be the parent your child needs without losing your heart in the process?" ~ Kristianne Wargo Whether it's carving out moments of solitude, engaging in activities that bring you joy, or seeking support from loved ones, prioritizing self-care enables you to show up for your child with a full and open heart. Yep--your heart is going to get stepped on. But the indelible mark you leave with them, will be greater than the initial shock. 3. Cultivate Connection Through Communication: Effective communication forms the bedrock of any relationship, including the one between parent and child. Take the time to truly listen to your child's thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or interruption. "Remember, there is so much to teach in only a few years to last a lifetime." ~ Kristianne Wargo By fostering open and honest communication, you create a safe space where your child feels seen, heard, and valued – strengthening the bond between you and leaving space for...]]>1452abundance,dads,discipline,family,forgiveness,gratitude,happiness,joy,leadership,mindset,moms,parenting,presence,purpose,relationships,routines,transformation,wellbeingfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker-beta.com/episode/3546-permission-granted--1116000Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  It's not about being mean and threatening against what you can't do. It's all about knowing where you are, and making a plan to get you to where you want to go, all the while being kind and considerate to yourself with a herculean commitment. Picture this: a powerful mindset shift where you act as the boss of your aspirations. Not a tyrant, but a compassionate leader who empowers, encourages, and believes in your potential. This boss doesn't dwell on limitations but focuses on crafting a roadmap to success with unwavering determination. The K.I.S.S. ~ Permission granted! Don't mentally construct barriers by allowing doubts and insecurities to shape your decisions. This is where the inner monologue becomes a battlefield, where every thought can either catapult you forward or hold you back. It's time to free yourself from self-imposed constraints and grant permission to pursue your passions. Embrace a mindset that seeks progress over perfection, resilience over resignation, and self-love over self-doubt. Give yourself the green light to dream big, to chase those ambitions that ignite your soul. Combat the negative self-talk with a chorus of affirmations that propel you towards your goals. Remember, every successful journey begins with that first step – the step you authorize yourself to take. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo So, take a deep breath, embrace your inner boss, and let yourself witness a remarkable inward transformation that occurs when you grant yourself permission to shine.

Life is still not what you expected. But how you choose to respond to life as it comes at you grants you peace, a freedom that gives you permission to smile even in the depths of struggles and troubles. Worry is a formidable foe that robs us of joy, peace, and the ability to fully embrace life's goodness. Living in a constant state of worry is like carrying an unnecessary burden that weighs us down. Living a life consumed by worry can have profound effects on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as on our relationships and overall quality of life.  1. Mental and Emotional Strain: - Constant rumination: Worrying individuals often find themselves caught in a cycle of overthinking and dwelling on worst-case scenarios, leading to heightened anxiety and stress. - Lack of peace: Worry can create a persistent sense of unease and restlessness, making it difficult to experience moments of tranquility and contentment. - Negative thought patterns: Worry tends to fuel negative thought patterns, fostering a pessimistic outlook on life and undermining one's self-confidence. 2. Physical Symptoms: - Insomnia and fatigue: Excessive worry can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and fatigue, which further exacerbate stress levels and impact overall energy levels. - Muscle tension and headaches: Chronic worry can manifest physically through muscle tension, headaches, and other somatic symptoms, as the body responds to prolonged stress. - Digestive issues: The gut-brain connection means that worry can contribute to digestive issues such as stomach pain, diarrhea, or acid reflux, as stress impacts the gastrointestinal system. 3. Impaired Decision-Making: - Analysis paralysis: Worry can paralyze individuals from making decisions, as they become overly focused on potential risks and outcomes, leading to indecision and missed opportunities. - Overly cautious behavior: Worrying individuals may adopt a hyper-vigilant approach in an attempt to mitigate perceived threats, which can result in avoidance behavior and limit personal growth. 4. Strained Relationships: - Lack of presence: When consumed by worry, individuals may struggle to be fully present in their interactions, leading to strained relationships and feelings of disconnect with loved ones. - Need for reassurance: Constant reassurance-seeking behavior can strain relationships, as individuals rely on others to alleviate their worries rather than developing internal coping mechanisms. - Communication challenges: Worry can impact communication patterns, leading to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions clearly. 5. Social Isolation: - Withdrawal from activities: Worry can lead individuals to withdraw from social gatherings, hobbies, or experiences that might trigger anxiety, resulting in isolation and a sense of disconnection from the world. - Fear of judgment: Worrying individuals may avoid social interactions due to a fear of judgment or criticism, further reinforcing feelings of loneliness and isolation. - Limited growth opportunities: Social isolation resulting from worry can hinder personal growth, as it restricts exposure to new perspectives, experiences, and relationships that facilitate learning and development. Overall, living a life consumed by worry can manifest in various ways, impacting not only our mental and emotional well-being but also our physical health, decision-making abilities, relationships, and social connections. How does worry show up in your life? Recognizing the signs of excessive worry and implementing strategies to address and overcome it is vital in cultivating a life of peace, resilience, and fulfillment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Wipeout worry! 1. TRUST IN GOD'S PLAN Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6 - "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." Worry often stems from a lack of trust in God's plan for our lives. By surrendering our fears and anxieties to Him, we can find comfort in knowing that He holds our future in His hands. Trusting in God's wisdom and timing allows us to release the need for control and embrace the peace that comes from knowing that He is in control. Real-Life Example: When faced with uncertainties about the future, instead of allowing worry to consume us, we can choose to trust in God's faithfulness. By seeking His guidance through prayer and meditating on His promises, we can find reassurance that He has a perfect plan for our lives. "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength." - Corrie ten Boom 2. PRACTICE GRATITUDE 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Gratitude is a powerful antidote to worry, as it shifts our focus from what we lack to the abundance of blessings that surround us. By cultivating a heart of thankfulness, we can find joy in the present moment and trust that God will provide for our needs. Real-Life Example: Keeping a gratitude journal and reflecting on the ways God has been faithful in the past can help us maintain a positive perspective, even in the face of challenges. By counting our blessings and acknowledging God's goodness, we can cultivate a spirit of contentment that diminishes worry. "Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained." - Arthur Somers Roche 3. SEEK SUPPORT & COMMUNITY Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 - "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." God designed us for community, knowing that we thrive in fellowship with others who can support and encourage us. When facing worries and struggles, seeking the companionship of fellow believers can provide strength and comfort. Real-Life Example: Engaging in a small group or seeking wise counsel from a mentor can offer perspective and guidance during times of uncertainty. Sharing our burdens with trusted friends who can offer prayer and support can lighten the load of worry and remind us that we are not alone. "Don't let worry rent space in your mind when it was meant to be filled with peace and joy." - Kristianne Wargo Wiping out worry requires a conscious effort to trust in God's plan, practice gratitude, and seek support from a loving community. By anchoring our hearts in faith, cultivating thankfulness, and embracing the strength of unity, we can overcome the grip of worry and step into the abundant life that God has promised us. Life is still not what you expected, but how you choose to respond to life as it comes at you grants you peace, a freedom that gives you permission to smile even in the depths of struggles and troubles. Wipeout worry and embrace the fullness of God's grace and love. "Be present. Be incredible.

You have to plan for what you know won't happen. Wipeout worry! That's not living...https://createyournow.mn.co. https://createyournow.mn.co  No! Life is still not what you expected. But how you choose to respond to life as it comes at you grants you peace, a freedom that gives you permission to smile even in the depths of struggles and troubles. Worry is a formidable foe that robs us of joy, peace, and the ability to fully embrace life's goodness. Living in a constant state of worry is like carrying an unnecessary burden that weighs us down. Living a life consumed by worry can have profound effects on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as on our relationships and overall quality of life.  1. Mental and Emotional Strain: - Constant rumination: Worrying individuals often find themselves caught in a cycle of overthinking and dwelling on worst-case scenarios, leading to heightened anxiety and stress. - Lack of peace: Worry can create a persistent sense of unease and restlessness, making it difficult to experience moments of tranquility and contentment. - Negative thought patterns: Worry tends to fuel negative thought patterns, fostering a pessimistic outlook on life and undermining one's self-confidence. 2. Physical Symptoms: - Insomnia and fatigue: Excessive worry can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and fatigue, which further exacerbate stress levels and impact overall energy levels. - Muscle tension and headaches: Chronic worry can manifest physically through muscle tension, headaches, and other somatic symptoms, as the body responds to prolonged stress. - Digestive issues: The gut-brain connection means that worry can contribute to digestive issues such as stomach pain, diarrhea, or acid reflux, as stress impacts the gastrointestinal system. 3. Impaired Decision-Making: - Analysis paralysis: Worry can paralyze individuals from making decisions, as they become overly focused on potential risks and outcomes, leading to indecision and missed opportunities. - Overly cautious behavior: Worrying individuals may adopt a hyper-vigilant approach in an attempt to mitigate perceived threats, which can result in avoidance behavior and limit personal growth. 4. Strained Relationships: - Lack of presence: When consumed by worry, individuals may struggle to be fully present in their interactions, leading to strained relationships and feelings of disconnect with loved ones. - Need for reassurance: Constant reassurance-seeking behavior can strain relationships, as individuals rely on others to alleviate their worries rather than developing internal coping mechanisms. - Communication challenges: Worry can impact communication patterns, leading to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions clearly. 5. Social Isolation: - Withdrawal from activities: Worry can lead individuals to withdraw from social gatherings, hobbies, or experiences that might trigger anxiety, resulting in isolation and a sense of disconnection from the world. - Fear of judgment: Worrying individuals may avoid social interactions due to a fear of judgment or criticism, further reinforcing feelings of loneliness and isolation. - Limited growth opportunities: Social isolation resulting from worry can hinder personal growth, as it restricts exposure to new perspectives, experiences, and relationships that facilitate learning and development. Overall, living a life consumed by worry can manifest in various ways, impacting not only our mental and emotional well-being but also our physical health, decision-making...]]>1702abundance,dreams,entrepreneurs,forgiveness,goals,gratitude,happiness,hope,joy,leadership,mindset,moms,presence,productivity,purpose,relationships,transformation,wellbeing,worry,writersfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker-beta.com/episode/3542-fear-not--1115923Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Luke 24:38 -- He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?

Without challenges, there can be no growth. Embracing tension can lead to deeper understanding and appreciation for one another. What can couples do to become better together with the tension so it can strengthen their marriage and not derail it? When faced with tension, couples can choose to communicate openly and honestly, practice empathy and understanding, and work as a team to overcome obstacles. By viewing challenges as opportunities for growth, couples can turn tension into a catalyst for building a love that endures. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn tension into a catalyst for building a love that endures! Do you remember the science experiment with Mentos? You put the mentos into a Coca-cola bottle and watched it what? Erupt!!  Think about the tension as being the mentos. The more you put in, the greater the explosion. Which, as a science experiment, that's FABULOUS!! But as a relationship to stick, hmmmm-- not so much! So, what can you do to turn tension into a catalyst that builds up? 1. Communication and Transparency: As a couple, you can strengthen your bond by prioritizing open and honest communication, even when discussing difficult topics. For example, instead of avoiding a disagreement about household responsibilities, partners can openly express their feelings and viewpoints, actively listen to each other, and work together to find a mutually beneficial solution. Sharing fears, dreams, and vulnerabilities can deepen emotional intimacy and build trust in the relationship. "Love is not just about the good times; it's about weathering the storms together and emerging stronger as a couple." - Kristianne Wargo 2. Empathy and Understanding: Empathy plays a pivotal role in navigating tensions within a relationship. Couples can practice putting themselves in their partner's shoes to better understand their perspective, feelings, and needs. For instance, when one partner is stressed due to work pressures, the other can empathize by offering support, listening without judgment, and offering to help with tasks. By showing empathy and understanding, you can strengthen your emotional connection and foster a sense of unity amidst challenges. "In the midst of challenges, couples have a unique opportunity to deepen their connection and reinforce their commitment to each other." - Kristianne Wargo 3. Collaboration and Growth Mindset: Viewing tension as an opportunity for growth and collaboration can empower couples to overcome obstacles together. Rather than placing blame or becoming defensive during conflicts, couples can approach challenges with a growth mindset. For instance, if financial struggles arise, partners can work together to create a budget, set financial goals, and support each other in making necessary adjustments. By embracing challenges as a chance to learn, adapt, and grow as a team, couples can cultivate resilience and fortify their love for the long haul.  "True strength in a relationship comes from facing challenges head-on and choosing to grow together rather than apart." - Kristianne Wargo By incorporating these practices into their relationship, couples can navigate tensions, strengthen their connection, and build a love that endures through all of life's trials and triumphs. "Embrace the tension in your relationship as an opportunity for growth and connection; it's not a distraction, but an attraction that can strengthen your love beyond measure." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

Anything and everything goes through your mind. And if you're a grandparent, hang on! That's all I've gotta say. But there are some things we can do to find the serenity in the storm. 1. Embrace Imperfection: Parenting is messy, unpredictable, and often imperfect - and that's okay. "In the midst of imperfection, lies the beauty of authenticity." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace the chaos and imperfections that come with parenthood, understanding that it's all part of the journey. Allow yourself to let go of the need for perfection and instead focus on being present and creating meaningful moments with your children. 2. Practice Self-Care: It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of parenting and forget to take care of yourself. "Self-care is not selfish, it's self-preservation." ~ Kristianne Wargo Make time for yourself amidst the busyness of parenting, whether it's through meditation, exercise, a hobby you enjoy, or simply taking a moment to breathe. Prioritize your own well-being so you can better navigate the challenges that come your way. [Secret shared.] 3. Seek Support and Connection: Parenting can feel isolating at times, but you're not alone in this journey. Reach out to friends, family, or a support group to share your struggles, seek advice, and offer support to others. "Strength lies in our vulnerability when shared with others." ~ Kristianne Wargo Building a support network can help you feel more grounded, understood, and resilient in the face of parenting challenges. Now this is all great, and pretty much the norm. But let's take it to another level to tame the chaos. The K.I.S.S. ~ Tame the chaos! 4. Mindfulness Practices: Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your daily routine to help you stay present and grounded amidst the busyness of parenting. Meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindful walks can all help reduce stress and bring a sense of calmness to your day. "In the chaos of life, find solace in the simplicity of the present moment." - Kristianne Wargo 5. Establish Boundaries: Setting boundaries and learning to say no when necessary can help prevent burnout and overwhelm. Prioritize tasks, delegate responsibilities when possible, and carve out time for yourself to recharge and reset. "Boundaries are not walls but bridges to your inner peace." - Kristianne Wargo 6. Gratitude Journaling/Reflection: Take a moment each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for, no matter how small. Keeping a gratitude journal can shift your focus towards the positive aspects of your life, helping you maintain a sense of perspective and appreciation even during challenging times. "Gratitude is the compass that points us towards the abundance in our lives." - Kristianne Wargo 7. Create Routine and Structure: Establishing a daily routine and structure can provide a sense of stability and predictability for both you and your children. Having consistent meal times, bedtime routines, and designated family time can help create a sense of calm and order in your household. "Routine nurtures the roots of stability, grounding us amidst life's storms." - Kristianne Wargo 8. Prioritize Quality Time: Make it a point to prioritize quality time with your children, engaging in activities that bring you joy and create lasting memories. Whether it's reading a book together, going for a walk, or simply having a heartfelt conversation, investing in these moments can help strengthen your bond and bring a sense of serenity to your family life. "Quality time is not measured by the clock, but by the depth of connection and love shared." - Kristianne Wargo 9. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion during challenging moments. Remember that it's okay to make mistakes, to feel overwhelmed, and to seek help when needed. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in a similar situation. "Self-compassion is the greatest gift you can give yourself during moments of struggle." - Kristianne Wargo By incorporating these strategies into your daily life, you can cultivate a sense of calm and balance amidst the chaos of parenting. Remember, finding moments of serenity in the storm is possible, and taking small steps toward self-care and mindfulness can make a big difference in your overall well-being. In the midst of the storm of parenthood, finding serenity is possible. By embracing imperfection, prioritizing self-compassion, and seeking support, you can navigate the chaos with grace and find moments of peace and joy along the way. "In the storm of life, embrace the rain. For in the driest seasons, your roots will remain." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

But you matter! What you do counts, not for nothing, but for something.  In your field of dreams, seeds have been planted. Just imagine the possibilities that lie in the smallest of actions – be it a kind word, a moment of courage, or a step toward a long-held dream. These seeds, once sown with care, confidence, compassion, and consistency, have the extraordinary ability to grow into vibrant realities that stand out from the crowd. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stand out from the crowd! In the journey of nurturing these seeds, challenges and setbacks are inevitable. A bad day, a moment of self-doubt, or a stumble along the way can all seem like insurmountable barriers. But remember, just as a seed needs sunlight and water to blossom, so do our dreams require perseverance and resilience to flourish. It's in these moments of adversity that our true strength and character are tested. It's when we must dig deep, find that wellspring of inner courage, and press onward. For it's during these times that the potential for growth and transformation is the greatest. So, ask yourself, how are you watering your days? Are you tending to your dreams with the dedication they deserve? Or are you letting them wither away in the shadows of doubt and fear? Remember, each day presents a new opportunity to breathe life into your aspirations, and to take one step closer to realizing your full greatness. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Stand out from the crowd by embodying the qualities of care, confidence, compassion, and consistency in all that you do. Be the gardener of your own destiny, nurturing your dreams with unwavering belief and unwavering dedication. And watch as those seeds of greatness in the making blossom into a magnificent garden of accomplishments that set you apart as extraordinary in a world full of ordinary. In the grand tapestry of life, let your unique colors shine bright. Stand tall, stand proud, and stand out from the crowd. Your field of dreams awaits – it's time to start planting. "Be present.

You have gifts and talents that need to be shared with the world. It's time you stand out from the crowd. It's time for you to own what is yours to share. ...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  And I know, that seems really weird. But you matter! What you do counts, not for nothing, but for something.  In your field of dreams, seeds have been planted. Just imagine the possibilities that lie in the smallest of actions – be it a kind word, a moment of courage, or a step toward a long-held dream. These seeds, once sown with care, confidence, compassion, and consistency, have the extraordinary ability to grow into vibrant realities that stand out from the crowd. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stand out from the crowd! In the journey of nurturing these seeds, challenges and setbacks are inevitable. A bad day, a moment of self-doubt, or a stumble along the way can all seem like insurmountable barriers. But remember, just as a seed needs sunlight and water to blossom, so do our dreams require perseverance and resilience to flourish. It's in these moments of adversity that our true strength and character are tested. It's when we must dig deep, find that wellspring of inner courage, and press onward. For it's during these times that the potential for growth and transformation is the greatest. So, ask yourself, how are you watering your days? Are you tending to your dreams with the dedication they deserve? Or are you letting them wither away in the shadows of doubt and fear? Remember, each day presents a new opportunity to breathe life into your aspirations, and to take one step closer to realizing your full greatness. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Stand out from the crowd by embodying the qualities of care, confidence, compassion, and consistency in all that you do. Be the gardener of your own destiny, nurturing your dreams with unwavering belief and unwavering dedication. And watch as those seeds of greatness in the making blossom into a magnificent garden of accomplishments that set you apart as extraordinary in a world full of ordinary. In the grand tapestry of life, let your unique colors shine bright. Stand tall, stand proud, and stand out from the crowd. Your field of dreams awaits – it's time to start planting. "Be present.

In the chaotic dance of modern life, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of making excuses. Excuses for not exercising, excuses for choosing fast food over a nutritious meal, excuses for skipping self-care. But what if we could shift our mindset and start devouring those excuses, turning them into fuel for a healthier, more vibrant life? The K.I.S.S. ~ Eat your excuses! Let's explore three ways in which you can embrace the mantra of "eating your own excuses" and lead the charge toward a healthier lifestyle. 1. Embrace Accountability: Accountability is the cornerstone of transformation. It's about taking ownership of your choices and actions. "Excuses may comfort you momentarily, but accountability empowers you eternally." ~ Kristianne Wargo Start by keeping a food diary or scheduling regular workout sessions with a friend. By being accountable to yourself and others, you'll find it harder to make excuses and easier to stay on track toward your health goals. 2. Shift Your Mindset: Excuses often stem from a negative mindset rooted in self-doubt and fear. It's time to challenge those limiting beliefs and cultivate a positive outlook. "Your beliefs shape your reality. Change your mindset, change your life." ~ Unknown Practice positive affirmations, visualize your success, and surround yourself with supportive and inspiring individuals. By reshaping your mindset, you'll silence the excuses and pave the way for a healthier lifestyle. Think about this: What are you repeating to yourself? 3. Find Creative Solutions: Instead of dwelling on obstacles, focus on finding creative solutions to overcome them. "Don't let challenges derail you. Let them inspire you to innovate." ~ Kristianne Wargo If time is a barrier to cooking nutritious meals, meal prepping on weekends can be a game-changer. If the gym seems intimidating, explore alternative workouts like pilates or dancing. By thinking outside the box and adapting to challenges, you'll break free from the cycle of excuses and discover a world of possibilities for a healthier lifestyle. In the journey towards a healthier life, remember that excuses are simply roadblocks waiting to be demolished. Be the fearless toddler!! By embracing accountability, shifting your mindset, and finding creative solutions, you can transform your excuses into catalysts for positive change. "Eat your excuses for breakfast, and savor the taste of victory as you conquer your health goals one mindful choice at a time." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Your persistence is directed AT people instead of looking at it from a team perspective WITH people.  Are you holding yourself back in life without even realizing it? Are you settling for less than you deserve because you're afraid to chase your dreams? Now, you know I love football. And more importantly, the stories that come with the players.  Did you know that only 0.023% of high school football players make it to the NFL? That means only about 1.6% of NCAA football players make it to the NFL. In other words, it's a rarity! When I was watching Georgia play Alabama two nights ago, you could tell who was ready and who was sitting back in their comfort chair.  At half-time, it was 30 - 7, Alabama. Who would have thought? But you see, the Alabama players were willing to go the extra mile! The K.I.S.S. ~ Go the extra M.I.L.E.! You have got to put in what you want to get out of the game of life. If you are sitting on the sidelines, you're gonna get the leftovers. You're gonna have to give up a few or most of your dreams.  So, how can you go the extra M.I.L.E. in real life? MINDSET: Shift your thoughts towards positivity and possibility. Believe in yourself and your capabilities. "Your mindset is the foundation of your success. Choose thoughts that empower you to reach your full potential, your possibility." ~ Kristianne Wargo How can you reach your dream if you don't dream? How can you get through the craziness if you don't have the recipe of possibility - What does this make possible (Dan Miller)? INTENTION: Take intentional actions toward your goals. Set clear objectives and work towards them with determination.  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo During the first half of the football game, there was a player wearing #2 on offense (Williams). He is 17 years old playing in his first night televised SEC game. No pressure. But what you didn't know was that he started on team 3 at practices. The quarterback, Milroe of Alabama, started to notice him and talked to the coaches. Over weeks of hard, intentional practice, #2 became a part of team #1.  LIFESTYLE: Cultivate a winning attitude in every aspect of your life. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. "Your lifestyle is a reflection of your mindset. For every setback, you have the opportunity for a comeback. Choose habits that align with your vision for success." ~ Kristianne Wargo Are you living the life that can lead to your dreams? ENERGY: Show up with positive energy and enthusiasm. Your presence and attitude can impact your outcomes significantly. Radiate confidence and passion in everything you do. "Your energy is contagious and so is your presence. Be a light that inspires others to shine." ~ Kristianne Wargo At half-time, there was no doubt that Alabama was going to win. However, Beck #15, the Georiga quarterback, threw 3 consecutive touchdowns to put the Georgia Bulldogs ahead 34 - 33. How could this be? Where was the team that fought so hard during the first half? Well, all it took was a little determination and energy for Milroe to throw the 75-yard pass to none other than #2 Williams. Going for 2 it was now 41 - 34 Alabama.  The intensity of the charge down the field grew, putting pressure on all 22 players out there. Beck had the ball, goes to throw it in the endzone only for it to be intercepted by #2 on Alabama defense, Brown, a true freshman. HIGHLIGHT -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84hBdihR0Mo Do you think Williams or Brown ever second-guessed themselves? Of course, they did. But they were always willing to go the extra M.I.L.E.! And two nights ago, they got to celebrate because their skills, their habits, their thoughts, their actions paid off because they went the extra mile. It's time to stop playing it safe and start playing full out. Go the extra M.I.L.E. and transform your life. "Life is a journey meant to be well lived, not watched from the sidelines. Get in the game and play to win!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Where are you on this? Does it hit a little too close to home? Maybe you haven't given it any thought. No problem. Today, let's pay attention to what this brings up within you. The struggle lies in the misguided notion that one's actions, decisions, and interventions are solely for the benefit of their spouse, without considering the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making. By always assuming the role of the caretaker or the problem-solver, if you are this person, you are inadvertently robbing your partner of the opportunity to contribute, take the initiative, and feel valued as an equal participant in the marriage. In this dynamic, the relationship becomes skewed, with one partner shouldering the burden of responsibility while the other is relegated to a passive role. The person in charge, it may be you, might believe they are being selfless and protective, but in reality, you are denying your spouse the chance to express themselves, showcase their strengths, and actively engage in shaping your alls shared future. Let's take it a step further. By constantly swooping in to "save the day," you could be communicating a lack of trust in your partner's abilities, undermining their confidence and sense of agency. The imbalance created by this dynamic can breed resentment, frustration, and a sense of disconnection, leading to simmering tensions and unspoken grievances that erode the foundation of the marriage. Let the bitterness build! Ultimately, the person who believes they are caring for their spouse by shouldering all responsibilities is missing out on the beauty and richness of true partnership. A healthy marriage thrives on mutual respect, reciprocity, and shared decision-making, where both of you are empowered to contribute your unique perspectives, strengths, and voices to the marriage. So, how do you make the shift from "I" to "we" to rid the selfishness within the sacred soil of matrimony? Rid the weeds so you can protect the roots! The K.I.S.S. ~ Protect the R.O.O.T.S.! It is only by creating space for both partners to step up, to collaborate, and to co-create their shared journey that a marriage can truly flourish. By letting go of control, embracing vulnerability, and fostering a spirit of teamwork, you can pave the way for a deeper, more authentic connection with your spouse based on trust, mutual support, and a shared sense of purpose. ROOTS: Respect, Openness, Observation, Nourishment, Time, Support 1. RESPECT: Just as roots anchor and support a plant, respect forms the foundation of a healthy relationship. Respect your partner's thoughts, feelings, and boundaries, nurturing a sense of mutual appreciation and understanding. "Respect is the cornerstone of every healthy relationship, fostering trust, understanding, and mutual admiration." - Kristianne Wargo 2. OPENNESS: Cultivate openness in your relationship, allowing emotions, communication, and vulnerability to flow freely like water nourishing the roots. Be receptive to your partner's needs and perspectives, fostering an environment of trust and transparency. "In the garden of love, openness is the sunlight that nourishes growth, vulnerability, and authentic connection." - Kristianne Wargo 3. OBSERVATION: Practice active listening and observation, like the leaves of a plant absorbing sunlight for growth. Pay attention to verbal and non-verbal cues, empathetically tuning into your partner's emotions and experiences. "Through attentive observation, we hear not only the words spoken but the emotions left unsaid, creating a deeper bond in our relationships." - Kristianne Wargo 4. TIME: Just as a plant needs time to grow and flourish, relationships require patience, effort, and dedication. Invest time in your partnership, allowing it to deepen and strengthen over time, like roots growing deeper into the ground. "Time is the silent gardener of love, tending to the roots of our relationship, allowing it to grow stronger with each passing moment." - Kristianne Wargo 5. SUPPORT: Offer support to your partner, like a trellis supporting a climbing vine. Create space for them to flourish, grow, and thrive, while also seeking support and collaboration in return. "Like a sturdy trellis, support in a relationship provides space for growth, stability in times of need, and a foundation of unwavering love." - Kristianne Wargo By tending to the R.O.O.T.S. – Respect, Openness, Observation, Time, Support – of your relationship, you can foster a deep, lasting connection rooted in mutual respect, empathy, and growth. Just as a plant flourishes with strong roots, your partnership will bloom and thrive when nourished, as plants receive fertilization with kindness, gratitude, and unconditional love. Marriage is not just about saying "I do" but about living out the daily commitment to "we get to." By practicing active listening, empathy, and gratitude, you can shift the focus from "I" to "we" in your relationship, creating a harmonious and fulfilling union based on mutual respect, understanding, and love. In the end, true love is not about fixing, rescuing, or controlling – it's about standing side by side, hand in hand, and embracing the beautiful messiness of life together, as equal partners in a dance of love, growth, and mutual respect.

Despite your best efforts, it can seem like there's always more to do, more to give, and less time to focus on your own emotional needs. Balancing the role of caregiver, nurturer, and provider can be a daunting task, leaving you longing for a moment of peace and a sense of emotional stability in the midst of life's chaos. But it doesn't have to be this way. You are made for more than the hostility of long days and short nights. So, instead of focusing on the chaos, let your emotions become a harmony of appreciation regardless of the season.  The K.I.S.S. ~ Create a harmony of appreciation! With a few simple strategies, you can learn to prioritize your emotional health and create a more balanced and fulfilling experience for both you and your children. 1. Practice Self-Care: Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Make self-care a priority in your daily routine, even if it's just for a few minutes each day. Find activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or enjoying a hot bath. By prioritizing self-care, you'll have more energy and emotional resilience to handle the challenges of parenting. "Self-care is not selfish—it's appreciating who you are and who you are becoming in mind, body, and spirit." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Thoughtfulness: Your presence is required. Thoughtfulness forces you to stop, slow down, and smell the roses. By interweaving thoughtfulness into your daily life, you can reduce stress and anxiety, improve your focus and concentration, and enhance your overall emotional well-being. Take a few moments each day to simply breathe and be present with your thoughts and feelings. This simple practice can have a profound impact on your emotional health. "Thoughtfulness allows you to connect with your inner self and find peace amidst the chaos of parenting. Embrace the presence and let go of worries about the future or regrets about the past." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice ASKing: Parenting is not a solo endeavor. Don't be afraid to reach out for help and support when you need it. Whether it's talking to a friend, joining a parenting group, or seeking professional counseling, having a support system in place can make a world of difference in how you navigate the challenges of parenthood. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ~ Matthew 7:7 (NIV) Remember, it's okay to ask for help—it doesn't make you any less of a good parent. "You don't have to do it all alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Even Jesus asked for help." ~ Kristianne Wargo As you navigate the highs and lows of parenting, remember that your emotions matter. You can stay emotionally grounded and create a harmonious environment for yourself and your children. Choose to let your emotions be victorious. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

What if you looked at your well-being from a different perspective? While the easy path may seem inviting, what if you dared to diverge from the crowd, to venture into uncharted territory where your wellness takes center stage and your body is treated like the revered temple that it is? What if you step into your power and reclaim your self-respect by nurturing your body, mind, and spirit with intention and care? Amidst the circus of fad diets and fitness trends, it's time to champion a sustainable approach to living a life enriched with vitality and purpose—one that celebrates your uniqueness and honors your innermost desires. So before we jump into some transformative practices:

• What are you doing now that you LOVE? 
• What do you want to do now that you need to START? 
• What do you want to STOP?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Go beyond the ordinary! Here are three transformative practices that can elevate your well-being into a realm of extraordinary fulfillment: 1. Conscious Nutrition: Let go of the notion of food as mere sustenance; instead, embrace it as a harmonious dance between your body and the nourishment it craves. "Every bite you take should be a love letter to your body." ~ Kristianne Wargo. By mindfully selecting whole, nutrient-rich foods and relishing each mouthful with gratitude, you not only fuel your body but also nourish your soul. Through conscious eating, you can forge a profound connection with the sustenance that sustains you, flooding your body with goodness. 2. Empowered Movement: Shift your perspective on exercise from a chore to a celebration of your body's innate strength and resilience. Move your body with purpose and joy, honoring the magnificent vessel that carries you through life's adventures. "Make every step, stretch, and squat a testament to your body's resilience; it's movement that inspires." ~ Kristianne Wargo Whether it's invigorating Pilates, energizing strength training sessions, or serene nature walks, let movement be a form of self-expression and empowerment. Embrace the transformative power of physical activity to sculpt not only your physique but also your mindset and spirit. 3. Soulful Revitalization: In a world that glorifies the "hustle," the art of rest and rejuvenation often gets overlooked. Yet, true wellness encompasses a delicate harmony between activity and repose. "Rest is not a luxury; it is a necessity for your mind, body, and spirit to thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo Prioritize moments of stillness, whether through restorative sleep, mindfulness practices, or indulgent self-care rituals. Allow yourself the space to recharge your batteries, replenish your energy, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. In honoring the rhythm of rest, you honor the rhythm of life itself. "Be present.

"Rest is not a luxury; it is a necessity for your mind, body, and spirit to thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo Prioritize moments of stillness, whether through restorative sleep, mindfulness practices, or indulgent self-care rituals. Allow yourself the space to recharge your batteries, replenish your energy, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. In honoring the rhythm of rest, you honor the rhythm of life itself. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

If you allow your emotions to overpower your rational thinking, your dreams may fade into the background while you focus on extinguishing the fire ignited by your feelings. To stay committed to your goals without losing sight of your emotions, you must take intentional steps to maintain a healthy balance in your life. This requires ongoing effort and dedication to self-awareness, self-improvement, and emotional regulation. It's a continuous process of understanding who you are, envisioning who you want to become, and ensuring that your emotions do not derail you from your path to success. So, how do you gain control over your emotions so your dreams can rise? You have got to stay grounded in the pursuit of your dreams. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stay grounded in the pursuit of your dreams! As we discuss what this looks like in real life, think about how you handle things, good or bad, and where you see yourself right now. This is not about beating yourself up, but looking at it with a compassionate microscope so you can stay grounded in pursuing your dreams. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AND SELF-REFLECTION One way to stay grounded in the pursuit of our dreams is to practice mindfulness and self-reflection. By cultivating a habit of introspection, we can better understand our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness enables us to identify triggers that may lead to emotional upheaval and respond to challenges with clarity and composure. In both personal and professional settings, mindfulness allows us to navigate complex situations with grace and resilience. "Mindfulness is the compass that guides us through turbulent waters, helping us navigate our emotions with grace and clarity." - Kristianne Wargo SET REALISTIC GOALS AND CREATE A STRATEGIC PLAN Setting realistic goals and creating a strategic plan is another effective way to stay committed to our aspirations while managing our emotions. By breaking down our overarching objectives into manageable tasks and milestones, we can track our progress and celebrate small victories along the way. This structured approach not only keeps us focused on our goals but also prevents overwhelming emotions from derailing our momentum. In the words of renowned author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins, "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." "Setting goals is not just about reaching the destination; it's about embracing the journey and celebrating every step forward. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" - Kristianne Wargo SURROUND YOURSELF WITH A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK Moreover, surrounding ourselves with a supportive network of mentors, friends, and colleagues can provide invaluable guidance and encouragement on our journey toward success. By seeking advice from experienced individuals who have faced similar challenges, we can gain new perspectives and insights that help us navigate obstacles with confidence and determination. Building a strong support system not only strengthens our resolve but also reinforces our belief in our capabilities and potential. "In the tapestry of life, a supportive network weaves threads of strength and encouragement, fortifying our belief in ourselves and our potential." - Kristianne Wargo In the words of mindset and focus experts, the importance of self-belief cannot be overstated. "Believing in yourself is the cornerstone of achieving your dreams. Trust in your abilities and never underestimate the power of your potential." ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: Where are you unsettled in your emotional resilience? What gets under your skin where it's hard to bounce back quickly? How can you make a change to redirect yourself in your everyday journey? By nurturing a positive mindset, practicing self-care, and embracing resilience, you can overcome self-doubt and fear, and unlock your true potential to reach new heights of success. Remember, your belief in yourself is the guiding light that illuminates the path to your dreams. Trust yourself with each decision you make so the journey is well-lived. Stay committed to your goals, and let your unwavering self-belief propel you toward the future you envision. "Be present. Be incredible.

It emphasizes the importance of perseverance and trust in God's plan for their lives. Life is a beautiful paradox, a delicate balance of sorrow and joy, challenges and victories. In the midst of adversity, there is hope; in times of sorrow, there is joy awaiting us. It's the ebb and flow of life that shapes us and teaches us to appreciate the blessings that come our way.

How would that make you feel? You know I'm all about a good football game. But in this case, the score of your game needs to remain zero to zero. Let me ask you-- What is the score?  If you have to think twice, you are keeping score. In marriage, give 'n take is all a part of unconditional love. But once you allow yourself to keep score and lean more toward what's not happening, you know that maybe the game is a little more serious than you thought. So, how do you keep score to not keep score? You must connect to the heart, not the scoreboard. The K.I.S.S. ~ Connect to the heart! Now, understand that words and actions have power. Yet, if everything is done because one of you wants the "win," you are married for the wrong reasons. You don't see the person you are sleeping with.  1. Practice Empathy and Understanding One of the most powerful ways to let go of scorekeeping in a marriage is to practice empathy and understanding. Put yourself in your partner's shoes, try to see things from their perspective, and approach disagreements with compassion. When you let go of the need to be right (that "win") and instead seek to understand, you create a foundation of trust and emotional intimacy. For example, instead of getting upset when your partner forgets to do something you asked, take a moment to consider what might be going on in their world that led to the oversight. By approaching the situation with empathy, you open the door to forgiveness and deeper connection. "In the game of love, the score that truly matters is the one where both partners feel seen, heard, and loved." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Communicate Openly and Honestly Another key to breaking free from the cycle of scorekeeping is open and honest communication, not demands or hints of "this is right." Create a safe space for both you and your partner to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs without fear of judgment. By fostering a culture of open communication, you can address issues as they arise instead of letting them fester and lead to resentment. For instance, if you feel like your partner isn't pulling their weight in certain aspects of the relationship, have a candid conversation about your expectations and how you can support each other better. By communicating openly, you pave the way for understanding and forgiveness to flourish. "True love thrives in the vulnerability of honest communication." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Cultivate Gratitude and Appreciation Lastly, to shift away from keeping score and moving toward a more loving and forgiving mindset, cultivate a practice of gratitude and appreciation. Take time each day to reflect on the qualities and actions of your partner that you are grateful for. Show appreciation for the little things they do, whether it's making you a cup of coffee in the morning or leaving a sweet note on your desk. By focusing on the positive aspects of your relationship and expressing gratitude regularly, you create a sense of mutual respect and admiration that transcends petty grievances. For example, make it a habit to express gratitude to your partner for their contributions to your shared life, no matter how small. Remember, you're in this together. And this will help you both feel valued and loved, strengthening your bond and fostering forgiveness. "In the dance of marriage, gratitude is the music that keeps the rhythm of love alive." ~ Kristianne Wargo In marriage, finding freedom in forgiveness requires a shift in mindset from keeping score to embracing empathy, communication, and gratitude. By letting go of the need to tally up perceived slights and instead choosing to forgive and love unconditionally, you, as a couple, can deepen your connection and create a relationship rooted in understanding and compassion. As you navigate the challenges of everyday life with your spouse, remember that the true victory lies not in winning imaginary competitions but in building a foundation of love that transcends scorekeeping and flourishes in forgiveness.

This can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and, ultimately, a disconnect in the parent-child relationship. Gary Chapman, renowned author and counselor, pioneered the concept of the Five Love Languages - Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. By understanding and speaking a child's specific love language, parents can bridge the gap and nurture a deeper connection with their little ones. Words of Affirmation  Words of affirmation like "Your hair looks amazing today!" or "You played an incredible game tonight!" hold significant value for children who thrive on praise. Whether complimenting their personality, achievements, appearance, or anything that validates them, these words can have a lasting impact. It's important to note that offering a monetary reward to a child who craves affirmation will ultimately leave them feeling unfulfilled. Acts of Service During the formative years, we care for our children by fulfilling tasks they are unable to do independently. As they grow, our love manifests through guiding them in learning how to navigate life on their own. For a child who resonates with acts of service as their primary love language, understanding which specific acts hold significance is crucial. Does assisting with homework or teaching them a new skill like throwing a ball make them feel loved and valued? Gifts Children who resonate with this love language cherish gifts as a physical expression of love and care. However, they may also perceive a scarcity of gifts as a scarcity of love. It's essential to understand that the value of the gift lies not in its cost but in the sentiment behind it. Acknowledging that a child may feel more appreciated with a small token like a pack of gum than with a hug is key to fostering effective communication and connection. Quality Time Children who communicate through this love language crave dedicated and uninterrupted attention. From playful interactions on the floor during infancy to engaging in conversations, reading bedtime stories, or enjoying outdoor activities as they grow older, the essence of quality time lies in the bond created through shared experiences. While the specific activity may vary, the shared moments hold the utmost importance. In families with multiple children, it can be challenging for a child to secure one-on-one time with a parent. It's essential for them to feel valued and reassured that they deserve and are worthy of receiving undivided attention. Physical Touch The profound impact of physical touch on emotional well-being has been recognized for ages. From the early stages of development where held infants thrive compared to those left alone, to older children who continue to yearn for physical closeness, the significance of simple gestures like a touch on the arm, a reassuring pat on the back, or a warm hug cannot be overstated. These acts of physical affection hold special importance for children fluent in this love language, as they seek to tangibly feel the depth of your love and care. So how do you discover your child's love language? The only way you can do that is to learn to read your child. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to read your child! Discovering a child's love language requires a mindful approach and a willingness to adapt. Here are three practical steps parents can take to understand and speak their child's unique love language: 1. Observe and Listen: Pay close attention to how your child expresses affection towards others and what they request or appreciate in return. For example, if your child often seeks hugs and physical closeness, their primary love language might be Physical Touch. In this case, offering frequent hugs, cuddles, and high-fives can make them feel cherished and understood. 2. Experiment and Engage: Try expressing love to your child through each of the Five Love Languages and observe their reactions. For a child whose love language is Receiving Gifts, surprising them with a small token of appreciation like a handmade card or a favorite treat can speak volumes. Alternatively, engaging in shared activities such as playing a board game or going for a nature walk caters to a child who values Quality Time. 3. Communicate and Validate: Open communication is key to understanding your child's emotional needs. Encourage them to express how they feel loved and appreciated, and validate their feelings even if they differ from your own. Using Words of Affirmation to acknowledge their efforts, strengths, and unique qualities can boost their self-esteem and reinforce a positive parent-child bond. By actively learning and speaking your child's love language, you can foster a nurturing and supportive environment where love flows freely and authentically. Just as a flower needs the right conditions to bloom, children thrive when their emotional needs are met in a language they understand. So, let's embrace the journey of discovery and celebrate the beauty of loving our children the way they receive love. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's during these challenging moments that you need to remind yourself of a simple but powerful truth: You can do this! In the face of adversity, it's easy to feel defeated and hopeless. It's easy to let doubt and fear creep in, clouding our judgment and making us question our abilities. But deep down, beneath the layers of uncertainty and fear, lies a reservoir of inner strength waiting to be tapped into. Do you feel that sometimes, but maybe not today? When the road ahead seems daunting and the odds are stacked against you, it's important to remember that resilience is not about avoiding challenges, but about facing them head-on.

Amidst the chaos of our fast-paced lifestyles, it's easy to get caught up in unhealthy habits and neglect our well-being. But what if it's time to break free from this cycle, take a step back, and focus on creating a healthier version of yourself? "Healthy living is not something that comes with ease. Usually, there are more temptations and troubles before there is success and strength," says Kristianne Wargo. This sentiment rings true for many of us who struggle to prioritize our health in the midst of daily demands. It's time to make the changes needed for you to be healthy. This involves breaking free from old patterns and habits that no longer serve you. Instead of adhering to the status quo, it's essential to carve out a path that aligns with your well-being goals. "In this season of life, you have the opportunity to erase what hasn't worked and focus on what can be done now to create your now in healthy living." ~ Kristianne Wargo. Your health and well-being are paramount, and it's crucial to prioritize self-care without making excuses. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prioritize YOU!!! Now, you can look at the normal stuff that everyone talks about. 1. Mindful Eating: Instead of mindlessly consuming food, take the time to savor each bite. Listen to your body's hunger cues and opt for nourishing, whole foods that fuel your body. 2. Prioritize Movement: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, whether it's a brisk walk, yoga session, or dance class. Movement not only benefits your physical health but also boosts your mood and energy levels. 3. Practice Self-Care: Carve out time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's reading a book, taking a bubble bath, or meditating. Prioritizing self-care is essential for maintaining overall well-being. Certainly, there are some other actions that we don't think of immediately to prioritize your health and well-being. 1. Hydration Habits - Small Step: Start your day with a glass of water before consuming any other beverages or food. - Small Step: Carry a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day to ensure you stay hydrated. - Small Step: Set a goal to drink a certain amount of water each day and track your intake using a water tracker app. 2. Sleep Quality Improvement - Small Step: Establish a bedtime routine that includes winding down activities such as reading or meditating. - Small Step: Create a cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment to promote optimal rest. - Small Step: Limit screen time before bed and consider implementing a digital curfew to improve sleep quality. 3. Stress Management Strategies - Small Step: Incorporate daily mindfulness practices such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. - Small Step: Identify stress triggers and develop coping mechanisms such as journaling or talking to a trusted friend. - Small Step: Prioritize self-care activities that help reduce stress levels, such as taking a nature walk or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. As you embark on this journey towards a healthier you, remember this. "You matter.

"It's easy to chase what you don't have. But what about going after what really works and not all the new shiny objects? You don't need everything to have a life well lived. But you do have to live in order to have a life," says Kristianne Wargo, a life coach and motivational speaker.

• What are you doing to go after your dreams? 
• Are you constantly chasing new things? 
• Are you trying to fit everything into one box? 
• Are you saying yes to things that don't matter? 
• Are you forgetting that you have the power to say no? 

These are questions worth pondering as we navigate the temptations of comparison and envy. Most people come to realize, perhaps a little too late, that the grass is not always greener on the other side. It's often a mirage, a perception of what we lack rather than a true reflection of what we gain. "No matter which side of grass you take, it all requires work." ~ Kristianne Wargo True happiness and fulfillment come from within, not from external circumstances or possessions. So, how do you see the green grass on your side, even if it's not really green? The K.I.S.S. ~ Treat your obstacles as opportunities! To resist the allure of the greener grass and stay focused on what truly matters, here are three things you can do: 1. Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for in your life. This simple practice can shift your focus from what you lack to what you have. For example, keeping a gratitude journal or starting each day with a gratitude meditation can help cultivate a sense of abundance and contentment. Use a JOY Jar to start your day with enthusiasm. 2. Set Clear Priorities: Define what is truly important to you and align your actions with your values. By setting clear priorities, you can avoid getting caught up in chasing after fleeting desires and stay focused on what ignites your passion. For instance, if spending quality time with your loved ones is a top priority, make sure to schedule regular family activities and protect that time from distractions. 3. Cultivate Mindfulness: Practice being present in the moment and appreciating the beauty of your current surroundings. Mindfulness can help you avoid getting caught up in comparison and worrying about what others have. Instead, it allows you to fully experience and enjoy the richness of your own life. Try incorporating mindfulness practices such as deep breathing exercises or mindful walks into your daily routine. As Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "It's more of a perception of what you can't have, rather than what you actually get." "Stay grounded in the reality of your own life and appreciate the true beauty of the grass beneath your feet. Remember, the grass is greener where you water it." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, next time you find yourself lured by the idea of greener pastures, take a moment to pause and appreciate the lushness of your own lawn. After all, true abundance is found not in constantly seeking more, but in embracing and nurturing what you already have. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

In Jeremiah 29:11, it is written, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This is your reminder that God has a divine plan for you, His GPS (God's Positioning System) serving as a compass, guiding you toward a path filled with promise, purpose, passion, and presence. Walking by faith, not by sight, requires a leap of trust—a willingness to let go of our fears and doubts in exchange for God's divine guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to, "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." Choosing to put your YES on the table is an act of unwavering trust in God's plan for your life. It is an acknowledgment that His design far surpasses your own limitations and that by surrendering to His will, you open yourself up to blessings beyond measure. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, it can be easy to lose sight of the path set before us. Romans 12:2 reminds us, "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." Choosing to say YES to God's plan for our lives requires courage, faith, and a deep-rooted belief that His intentions for us are far greater than we could ever imagine. So, why not put your YES on the table? Show up for what God has divinely designed for you, and watch as He leads you toward a future filled with hope, purpose, and unending grace. "Be present.

In fact, a great marriage always requires good work. So, what can you do to build a strong marriage? The K.I.S.S. ~ Strengthen your attraction! Here are three actionable steps to enhance your marriage and strengthen your connection on a daily basis. 1. Communicate Openly and Honestly Effective communication is key to a healthy marriage. Take time each day to talk to your spouse, sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This could include discussing your day, your dreams, or even your fears. Listening attentively and empathetically to your partner is equally important. For example, make it a point to have a 'check-in' conversation every evening before bed. Share one highlight of your day and one challenge you faced. This simple practice fosters communication and emotional intimacy. Additionally, schedule regular 'date nights' where you can focus solely on each other without distractions from work or technology. "Honest communication builds trust and intimacy in a marriage. It's the foundation of a strong relationship." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Quality Time Together Spending quality time together strengthens the bond between spouses and creates lasting memories. Find activities that you both enjoy and make time for them regularly. This could be as simple as cooking a meal together, going for a walk, or watching a movie snuggled on the couch. Plan spontaneous gestures of love and appreciation to keep the romance alive. Surprise your partner with a heartfelt note, a small gift, or a spontaneous picnic in the park. These thoughtful acts show your spouse that they are valued and cherished. "Quality time is not about the quantity but the quality of moments shared together. It's in these moments that connections are deepened and love is nurtured." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Show Gratitude and Affection Expressing gratitude and affection towards your spouse reinforces the love and appreciation you have for each other. Regularly acknowledge the little things that your partner does and express gratitude for their presence in your life. Small gestures like saying "I love you," giving a hug, or holding hands can go a long way in affirming your bond. Create a gratitude journal where you both write down things you are grateful for about each other. This practice encourages a positive outlook and cultivates a spirit of thankfulness within the relationship. Remember to celebrate milestones, anniversaries, and achievements together to honor your journey as a couple. "Gratitude and affection are the fuel that keeps the flame of love burning in a marriage. Expressing love in words and actions strengthens the foundation of your relationship." ~ Kristianne Wargo Ultimately, daily investments in your marriage yield greater rewards than occasional grand gestures. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can deepen your connection with your spouse, build a thriving relationship, and create a lasting legacy of love and happiness.

The key lies in one simple yet profound concept: engage your day! Each morning, as the sun peeks over the horizon and the day stretches out before you like a blank canvas, you have a choice. You can either passively drift through the hours, reacting to whatever comes your way, or you can actively engage with every moment, shaping your own story. Engaging your day isn't about having a rigid schedule or a detailed plan for every minute. It's about cultivating a mindset of intention and presence. It's about approaching each task, each interaction, each challenge with a sense of purpose and curiosity. It's about being fully present in the here and now to create your now, rather than getting lost in thoughts of the past or worries about the future. The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage your day! When you engage your day, you take ownership of your time and your energy. You no longer allow external circumstances or other people's priorities to dictate your agenda. Instead, you tune into your own inner compass, making conscious choices that align with your values and goals. Engagement breeds empowerment. As you become more attuned to the rhythm of your day, you'll start to notice opportunities that were previously hidden in plain sight. You'll discover moments of joy and connection that might have passed you by if you were simply going through the motions. You'll feel a sense of aliveness that can only come from living intentionally. CHALLENGE: How can you start engaging your day? Begin by setting an intention each morning. Take a few moments to reflect on what you want to create, experience, or learn during the hours ahead. It could be as simple as "I want to approach today with curiosity and openness" or as specific as "I want to complete that project I've been putting off." Throughout the day, check in with yourself regularly. Are you being mindful of your choices and actions, or are you on autopilot? Are you fully present in your conversations and tasks, or are you distracted by the chatter of your mind? By bringing awareness to your thoughts and behaviors, you can course-correct in real time and stay aligned with your intention. Engaging your day is a practice, not a destination. Some days will flow effortlessly, while others will present unexpected challenges. The key is to meet each moment with an open heart and a curious mind, knowing that you have the power to shape your experience in ways big and small. As you engage your day, you'll discover a newfound sense of vitality. Your days will be infused with purpose and passion, and you'll no longer be a bystander in your own life. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to engage your day and watch as the magic unfolds. "Be present. Be incredible.

Life doesn't have to be filled with question marks, fear, and intimidation. However, it does require you to engage your day. Show up or be shipped out.  As you fill your life with endless distractions and...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But what if you could shift gears and seize control of your day, instead of letting it control you? The key lies in one simple yet profound concept: engage your day! Each morning, as the sun peeks over the horizon and the day stretches out before you like a blank canvas, you have a choice. You can either passively drift through the hours, reacting to whatever comes your way, or you can actively engage with every moment, shaping your own story. Engaging your day isn't about having a rigid schedule or a detailed plan for every minute. It's about cultivating a mindset of intention and presence. It's about approaching each task, each interaction, each challenge with a sense of purpose and curiosity. It's about being fully present in the here and now to create your now, rather than getting lost in thoughts of the past or worries about the future. The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage your day! When you engage your day, you take ownership of your time and your energy. You no longer allow external circumstances or other people's priorities to dictate your agenda. Instead, you tune into your own inner compass, making conscious choices that align with your values and goals. Engagement breeds empowerment. As you become more attuned to the rhythm of your day, you'll start to notice opportunities that were previously hidden in plain sight. You'll discover moments of joy and connection that might have passed you by if you were simply going through the motions. You'll feel a sense of aliveness that can only come from living intentionally. CHALLENGE: How can you start engaging your day? Begin by setting an intention each morning.

It's the voice in our heads that whispers doubt, the inertia that keeps us stuck in familiar but unfulfilling patterns. When you engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, you undermine your own progress and sabotage your chances of reaching your full potential. But why do we do this to ourselves? One reason for self-sabotage is a fear of change. Stepping out of our comfort zones and taking risks can be intimidating, even if those changes are positive. We may worry about failure, rejection, or the unknown, leading us to resist opportunities for growth. It's easier to stay in familiar, albeit unfulfilling, circumstances than to face the uncertainty of change. Another factor that contributes to self-sabotage is low self-esteem. When we don't believe in our own worth or capabilities, we may subconsciously sabotage our efforts to avoid confronting our insecurities. We undermine our own success because deep down, we may not feel deserving of happiness or achievement. Moreover, self-sabotage can stem from a lack of self-awareness. Without recognizing the patterns and behaviors that hold us back, we continue to repeat them, unaware of the negative impact they have on our lives. It's essential to cultivate mindfulness and reflection to identify self-sabotaging tendencies and work towards breaking free from them. Continuing to kick yourself through self-sabotage only leads to a cycle of misery and stagnation. You rob yourself of the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive, keeping you locked in patterns that prevent you from reaching your full potential. To break free from this destructive cycle, you must choose to stop kicking yourself and start championing your well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ Champion your well-being! If you're searching for transformation, and if you're still reading, it's clear change is on your mind. So, let's cut to the chase and make a conscious choice to prioritize progress over procrastination, starting with being 1% better today than you were yesterday. Let's delve into actionable steps to help you stop kicking yourself and begin thriving in your journey toward a healthier lifestyle. 1. Mindful Nutrition Choices When it comes to eating healthily, it's not just about what you eat but how you eat it. Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, focusing on the flavors and textures of your food. Avoid distractions like screens or work during meals to better tune into your body's hunger and fullness cues. Remember, it's not just about the food on your plate but the experience of nourishing your body. "Don't eat junk food alone." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Physical Movement Exercise shouldn't feel like a punishment but a celebration of what your body can do. Find an activity that brings you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, or yoga. Instead of focusing on intense workouts for hours on end, aim for consistency and enjoyment in your movement routine. Schedule regular breaks during your workday for a quick stretching session or a brisk walk around the block. "Small bursts of activity can add up to significant health benefits." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Cultivate a Positive Mindset Take your thoughts captive. Your thoughts can shape your reality, so why not choose to uplift yourself with affirmations and gratitude? Start each day with positive intentions and affirmations to set the tone for a fulfilling day ahead. Now, don't lie to yourself; be honest. Practice self-compassion, though, and acknowledge your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages your growth and celebrates your progress. "Choose hard over easy, because when you're stretched, you're strengthened." ~ Kristianne Wargo True growth often lies outside our comfort zones. By embracing challenges and committing to small, consistent intentional improvements, you make a way for a healthier and happier you. So, stop kicking yourself and start championing your well-being today. "Be present. Be incredible.

"If you're always focusing on what transpired yesterday, there won't be any transactions tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo The apostle Paul's words resonate with a timeless truth that applies to people from all walks of life. He acknowledges that he has not yet reached his ultimate goal, but he remains steadfast in his pursuit, determined to win the prize that God has set before him. His mindset of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering faith is the lighthouse for those seeking to navigate the challenges of life. Be encouraged to let go of past regrets, failures, and disappointments that may hinder your progress. Instead, fix your gaze on the future, embracing the divine purpose here on earth that awaits you. The call to "press on toward the goal" is a call to action, a call to step out in faith and trust that God is leading us toward something more significant. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Win the prize! For many, the idea of letting go of the past can seem impossible. It requires a willingness to confront your fears, insecurities, and doubts head-on. It demands that you set aside your excuses and take ownership of your journey. But in doing so, you open yourself up to a world of Heavenly possibilities, where God's plan unfolds in ways you could have never imagined.

In a world full of distractions and...Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  The Bible verse Philippians 3:13-14 serves as a powerful reminder to keep moving forward, focusing on the journey ahead rather than being stuck in what has already transpired. "If you're always focusing on what transpired yesterday, there won't be any transactions tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo The apostle Paul's words resonate with a timeless truth that applies to people from all walks of life. He acknowledges that he has not yet reached his ultimate goal, but he remains steadfast in his pursuit, determined to win the prize that God has set before him. His mindset of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering faith is the lighthouse for those seeking to navigate the challenges of life. Be encouraged to let go of past regrets, failures, and disappointments that may hinder your progress. Instead, fix your gaze on the future, embracing the divine purpose here on earth that awaits you. The call to "press on toward the goal" is a call to action, a call to step out in faith and trust that God is leading us toward something more significant. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Win the prize! For many, the idea of letting go of the past can seem impossible. It requires a willingness to confront your fears, insecurities, and doubts head-on. It demands that you set aside your excuses and take ownership of your journey. But in doing so, you open yourself up to a world of Heavenly possibilities, where God's plan unfolds in ways you could have never imagined. So, as we reflect on what Paul wrote, be inspired to break free from the chains of yesterday and embrace the promise of a better tomorrow. Seize each new day as an opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve. Trust in God's divine timing and guidance, knowing that He has a purpose for you that is waiting to be fulfilled. May you find the courage to leave what isn't yours to take today, so you can take A.I.M. on what comes, Lord willing, tomorrow, and courageously accept God's adventure for you. There, in the journey ahead, win the prize for which God has called you heavenward in Christ Jesus – a life lived in alignment with His will and a soul at peace in His loving embrace. "Be present.

How do you say you're sorry? "Sorry is not just a word; it's an action!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Make 'sorry' an action! Here are three vital steps a spouse can take to truly understand the essence of saying sorry, and to align actions with intentions: 1. Embrace Vulnerability: Rather than viewing apologies as a sign of weakness or surrender, consider them as the ultimate display of vulnerability and strength within a relationship. "Apologies pave the way for genuine communication and connection between spouses." ~ Kristianne Wargo For instance, when addressing a past mistake, instead of offering a generic apology, delve deeper into the emotions behind the action. By articulating feelings and acknowledging their impact on your partner, you can lay the foundation for authentic reconciliation. 2. Practice Active Listening: Apologies lose their efficacy when NOT accompanied by active listening. Mirroring your partner's sentiments and validating their feelings can transform a superficial apology into a meaningful exchange. "Listening is the bridge that connects two hearts." ~ Kristianne Wargo Take the time to sincerely listen to your partner's perspective without interruptions or defensiveness. By demonstrating empathy and understanding, you can enhance the healing power of your apology and establish a mutual sense of respect within the relationship. 3. Cultivate Forgiveness: True apologies and forgiveness are intertwined in the intricate tapestry of relationships. In the context of marital conflicts, forgiveness plays a pivotal role in moving beyond grievances and building a foundation of trust. By actively practicing forgiveness, both spouses can liberate themselves from the shackles of resentment and foster a climate of empathy and grace in their relationship. "Forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a continuous choice to release resentment, embrace reconciliation, and build trust." ~ Kristianne Wargo The art of saying sorry transcends mere words; it embodies a profound commitment to vulnerability, empathy, and forgiveness. By embracing these principles in our interactions with our spouses, we get to escape the confines of keeping score and cultivate a marriage grounded in mutual understanding and growth. "Authentic apologies are not merely spoken – they are felt, understood, and lived well." Strive to embody the essence of real apologies in your marriage, where saying sorry is not a mere phrase but a heartfelt expression of love and respect. "Be present. Be incredible.

Tough love is not about being harsh or unkind to your child. It is about setting boundaries, instilling values, and teaching important life lessons. "Children need structure and guidance to thrive in the world. Tough love helps them develop resilience and character." ~ Kristianne Wargo Parenting with tough love involves showing compassion, grace, and discipline in equal measures. Compassion allows you to connect with your child on an emotional level, understanding their struggles and joys. Grace provides forgiveness and acceptance, creating a safe space for growth. Discipline sets boundaries and expectations, teaching responsibility and accountability. "Walking the fine line between being a friend and a parent can be challenging, but it is essential for your child's development." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk the fine line! And that fine line is the balance between love and discipline, tough love--And that's where parents can raise children who are confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals. 1. STRONG VALUES Teaching them the importance of honesty, respect, and empathy builds a foundation for ethical decision-making. Instill moral principles and ethics in children from a young age. Parents can lead by example and reinforce these values through daily interactions and activities. Example: Encouraging a child to apologize when they have done something wrong teaches them the value of accountability and respect for others. Praise them when they show kindness to a classmate or share their toys, reinforcing the importance of empathy and generosity. 2. EXCEPTIONAL CONFIDENCE Encouraging them to believe in themselves and their abilities fosters self-assurance and ambition, which gives them reassurance when they question themselves between their two ears. Parents can help boost their child's self-esteem by providing encouragement, celebrating their achievements, and offering constructive feedback. Encouraging them to try new things and embrace challenges can help develop a growth mindset and resilience. Example: If a child expresses interest in joining a sports team but feels nervous about trying out, parents can support them by attending practices, cheering them on, and reminding them of their strengths. By empowering them to face their fears and take risks, parents can help build their confidence and courage. 3. RIGOROUS RHYTHMS  Establishing routines and boundaries creates a sense of security, structure, and stability, nurturing a sense of discipline and responsibility. Example: Creating a daily routine that includes designated study time, outdoor playtime, family meals, and bedtime rituals can help children feel secure and grounded. Consistency in these rhythms allows children to anticipate and prepare for each part of their day, reducing stress and promoting a sense of order in their lives. "Parenting is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and unwavering love. Tough love may not always be easy, but it is a powerful tool in shaping your child's future." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing tough love with compassion and discipline, parents can empower their children to become who they are created to be and thrive in a complex world. Tough love remains a valuable and effective parenting strategy in nurturing well-rounded and resilient children. By blending love, discipline, and guidance, parents can cultivate a strong foundation for their child's future success and happiness. Embrace tough love with an open heart and a clear vision for your child's growth and development.
