"When I went through my high school years, I really got away from God; I didn't have much discipleship." "What I saw was a lot of men who had become consumers of women." "I didn't want to minimize a lot of the problems that women had expressed about the things they were going through with men."

"You (Women) are extraordinarily powerful." "Life and death is in the power of the tongue." "You can't talk a man into seeing his blindspots."

1915 Positioned for a Miracle
When it comes to health and wellness, it's the gut-wrenching reality checks that wake you up. However, no matter what situation you're in, you are positioned for a miracle. Life can drag and drown your every day. Sometimes to the point that you forget how important everyday activities are. All those little things that add up to the bigger picture called "life"! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT At times, you experience a little shift of routine, and it throws fast-paced curveballs in all directions. Then, all you find yourself doing is surviving instead of thriving. Plus, the spotlight of what you couldn't accomplish is now suffocating what needs to have breath. Have you ever experienced a reality check which required you to make a change; one not so easy, yet oh so simple? Yea, it's those simple answers that stump us the most. Why can't it be super easy? Sometimes we get so entangled with the old that we struggle constantly with the new. We can't seem to catch a break or get the results that we're longing for. I would love to tell you the magic formula for getting your mind and body to cooperate. But as you know, it's not that easy. Because if it was, all of us would be exactly where we needed to be healthwise. But that's not how the real world works. Now, I'm not one who likes to get all "doom and gloom". Yet, a taste of reality does the mind, body, and spirit good. So today, I want you to position yourself for success. The K.I.S.S. ~ Position yourself for success! This is going to look a little different than what you are used to. But new is good and keeps you on your toes. Unfortunately, living a healthy lifestyle can be rough and tough; whether it's physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, financially. It really can tug on your habits and your heart. You want one thing, but your habits do another. And then you introduce the mind game! Hold on, because the ride of a lifetime is about to take-off. Too much of our days are spent focusing on what could have, should have, and would have happened if we made different decisions. We beat ourselves up over the past hoping that what we do in the present will lead us to a better future. Now that sounds like all fun and games. Right? Easy, peasy! But not so fast. The problem is that we see our worth in our future-self. Who needs the present-self if we don't like it or approve of it. And our past --- well that could go either way. So ultimately, what we are struggling with is accepting the fact that we are loved regardless of how we perceive ourselves. Let's get to the point! You are loved just the same and not more than who you are trying to become. God loves you just the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. His love for you is not dependent on who you are becoming. You don't have to be thirty pounds lighter to be loved. You don't have to eat paleo perfect every day to be loved. You don't have to be a certain size to be loved. You are loved. Right now. Yesterday. And tomorrow. So why do you keep beating yourself up when you are positioned for a miracle? With this being Holy Week, it's a good reminder as to how worthy and valued you are. You can't buy God's love. Now, you might think you need to buy your spouse's love, but that's for another episode. This is a conversation between you, your mind, your body, your spirit, and God. If you know how valuable you are, you should want and desire to love yourself even more. And that love constitutes taking care of yourself. No questions asked. So if that's the case, then how do you position yourself for success? Forgiveness. You have to forgive yourself for what you couldn't do. It's as simple as that. Because if you do not, you will always be battling the ghosts of failures. Love. You have to love yourself right where you are. Now that doesn't mean you don't want to make some changes and see a transformation of in some form or fashion. But without love, you will feel empty inside. You won't get passed too many weeks in transition. You'll give up. See yourself as God sees you. Hope. Your hope needs to be in what God can do, not what you can do. You aren't going to become the person you want to be all on your own. There are going to be too many valleys you'll have to go through and multiple of mountains to climb. In order to sustain your everyday, your hope must be in what God can do in you and through you. This story of well-being all happened "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) Today I want to challenge you to look honestly at where you are in your health and wellness? Are you happy where you are? Or could you treat your body better so it could do all of what God designed you to do? During this season of pause and reset, know that the God who created you in His image has positioned you for a miracle. You are loved! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

1914 Believe in the Impossible!
Nothing feels better to the soul than to believe in the impossible! You were created for greatness. Let your light shine in the darkest corners of your day. Every chapter of your life will demand a different you. You are called to rise up. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT As you gain insight from your past challenges and celebrations, move through your day knowing that there's a time for everything. You may not have all the answers. But God does. You don't walk this road alone. What are you facing today where you need endurance and strength? "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." ~ Isaiah 40:29-31 Your hope is not in your doing or knowing. However, it's in whom you put your trust in. The K.I.S.S. ~ Believe in the impossible! With God, nothing is impossible! "Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life." ~ Mark Twain Hope in what's to come. Because hope is stronger than fear. Don't run and hide when confronted with trials and tribulations. God's got you. This season that has you strapped and tangled in concern, despair, or even anxiety, will pass.

1913 Your Breakthrough Is Coming
When you are in the eye of the storm, soon a rainbow will appear. Don't give up when the struggles wear you down. Your breakthrough is coming! Life can beat you up leaving you bruised and broken. It's in those moments when all feels lost. Impossible floods your veins as hope is drowned. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Yet even in the midst of a storm, your breakthrough is coming. Let's be real about breakthroughs. You can't breakthrough something without friction in some form or fashion. No friction, no breakthrough. And what's interesting, is that we actually have a longing to overcome built within us. It's written in our DNA. Just think back to any trouble, trial, or tribulation that you faced. You eventually came around to wanting something different; a breakthrough. You desired to overcome it! It's in these moments where you realize that the pain you have been feeling can't compare to the joy that's coming. (Romans 8:18) Don't let this season of uncertainty steal your joy. Don't let your hope fade because you feel inadequate. Let the old stuff fall to the wayside. An overcomer is in the making! Your breakthrough is coming. Just keep moving forward. The K.I.S.S. ~ Just keep moving forward! When you let the old normal stuff fall away, then you open up the door for the new normal. Abandon what is not working. This includes the old normal stuff. Change requires you to be in transition in order for transformation to occur. A new normal is in the making. Be stronger than your strongest excuse. Don't let what you can't do get in the way of what you can do. Let courage command your every day. No matter what you are facing, nothing is impossible. You have the strength and the courage to get through anything. Now of course, I believe God is with you through all the storms. He will ready your heart and your mind. He will give you strength when you are weak. He will comfort when you hurt. He will love you when you're alone. Question: What needs to die in order for you to rise up? Attitude Self-induced failure Limiting beliefs Rejection Perfection Fear of the unknown Expectations Pessimistic views There is no better time than now to look at what you can do to change where you are headed. Your breakthrough is coming. It's time to ready yourself! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

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) Today is Palm Sunday. Not many believers would have fathomed this is how we would be spending Passion week. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But think back to when Jesus was preparing for what was to come; His crucifixion. Mark 11:1-9 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.'" 4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?" 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna!" There was a celebration prior to the days that changed the world! Rejoice always! You may look at your circumstances and see what you don't have. Rowland Bingham, one of three founders of Sudan Interior Mission, was a man whose faith in God and His goodness was exercised in practical everyday experiences. When Dr. Bingham was sixty-years-old, he was seriously injured in an automobile accident. After he regained consciousness in the hospital, he asked the nurse what he was doing there. "Be quiet," she replied. "You've been in an accident." "Accident? An accident?" Dr. Bingham exclaimed. "There are no accidents in the life of a Christian. This is an incident and God has a purpose." The K.I.S.S. ~ Rejoice always! There was a celebration of Jesus' coming; Him entering Jerusalem all leading up to what would be the worst days for Him and the best for us in the long run. "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." ~ Romans 8:28 Have you asked God lately what His purpose for your life is in your current situation? Or are you playing the blame game with God and everyone else? "For we are to walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 Our vision is limited to the immediate hurdles we confront daily. Now you can assume the position and consider that the world is against you, relying only on your own strength and knowledge to get you through the accident, circumstance, situation, or even incident. However, know that God has gone before you. Ask Him what is the purpose in where you stand? What is He wanting you to learn? Your blame. His purpose. How will you respond? "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." ~ Galatians 2:20 "His purpose is yours to claim.

1911 Are You Just Winging It?
Life gets busy. Emotions run high. Your spouse can't do anything right most of the time. When running in all different directions, are you just winging it? "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." ~ Benjamin Franklin Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Now I don't know if this was before or after he flew that kite which was struck by lightning. But regardless, it makes perfect sense. A lack of preparation can induce failure. It increases the rate of failure. So why do we continuously live a life of unpreparedness? Are you just winging it? Believe it or not, I am one who likes surprises. But with anything, we should be prepared especially in our marriage. Winging it isn't always the answer. In fact, it might be what we think is the easy way out only to find that it makes life more complicated. What we put into our marriage will be the minimum of what we get out of it. If we just live our day-to-day completing responsibilities, then the only thing we'll get back is a completed checklist. Love isn't about a checklist. Love is a verb! Be devoted. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be devoted! Marriage is not about just winging it! "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." ~ Romans 12:10 We need to take the time and put the energy into our marriages. Learn about your spouse. Serve your spouse with an attitude of gratitude. Love your spouse where he/she is. Imagine how our marriages could take flight if we were devoted. "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." ~ Philippians 2:4 Marriage was not made to be easy. God wanted us to work at what He believed to be the most sacred celebration where two become one in marriage; a sacred covenant between you, your spouse, and God. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

1910 How Do You Balance Life's Demands?
Life can give you lemons; busyness, stress, and exhaustion. Out of control seems like the new normal. How do you balance life's demands when you can't escape your living room? Maybe you've been running laps around the coffee table and knocked a few things over. Maybe you've decided that less is more. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But only if you could get less hanging out and more peace in the house. Children of all ages can stir up so much energy. Yet the challenge is having this energy in one place ALWAYS! At least before, you could change the environment. Now, you are stuck. Not because you want to be, but because you have to be. Finding a balance in your own life is one thing. But creating it with the family is another. So you gotta put first things first. The K.I.S.S. ~ Put first things first! Yes, the kiddos matter. But if you don't keep your head on, a lot more can go wrong. So take a deep breath. Put first things first! Create an escape moment. This is a way to give yourself space for personal accountability. Run in such a way that you might win. (1 Corinthians 9:24) You may not be able to leave the area, but you can find a moment where you can gain a sense of peace. Energize with hope. Do something that switches the focus on the positive, not the negative. Dance. Laugh. Play Hide 'n Seek. You make the rules. Even the little ones can play. You can even play with doubles. Choose a base and you've got this. Just beware! The cat might give you away. How you feel will be multiplied by the children. They can sense when you are feeling stressed, relaxed, or even nervous. Do your best to project what you want them to feed off of. "Train for life.

All He ever did was good." "And the Holy Spirit said, 'They're not crucifying Him; you are.'" "It wasn't the Roman soldiers that nailed Jesus to the cross.

1908 How Behavior Can Change Your Course
Many search for the answer to solving a problem. But sometimes, learning how behavior can change your course is the simplest answer of all. It's not about what you need to have in order to reach a goal; the program, the equipment, the food, the schedule. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT It all boils down to your behavior. What are you doing to change the course? "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting the same results." ~ Albert Einstein Looking at ourselves in the mirror and being critical of our behaviors is very uncomfortable and disturbing at times. We don't want to face the music. If you go to your physician and are diagnosed with a disease that could be prevented by your actions, wouldn't you like to go back and make some changes? Of course! But in the moment, we get comfortable in our bad habits and behaviors and honestly, we aren't willing to do the hard work every day. We want convenience, easy, and immediate gratification. "Health doesn't come in a pill!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Yes, it would be nice to take a pill and have everything get better. And understand, I'm not against science. There are people who do need medication for their health and well-being. However, your health is not solely dependent on a pill. In fact, you need to recognize and comprehend the magnitude of your behaviors. And I'm not just saying this to you. I talking to me too! There are things I need to change. And a lot of it is because of our behaviors. So what can you do to alter your behavior to change your course? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be who you want to become! You do this by being real with yourself. Own your behavior. This is an honest look at what you are currently doing. Don't beat around the bush. Specify the change. This needs to be full of details. Don't leave any stone unturned. Train your moment. This is where you put consistent action(s) in place to make the change to the behavior. Look for where you can set yourself up for success. Be who you want to become!

1907 Today is a Gift
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present." (by Bil Keane) There are days when you look out and all you see is despair and desperation. The focus is on what should have happened in order to better what is to come in the future. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But what about the present? Why do we need to worry and be so freaked out about what happened in the past? Yes, we can learn from our mistakes. Yet if we keep living in the past, we give up our today. Today is a gift! Why waste a gift on the should haves and would haves? There is no time machine that can redo what has already been done. Learn and move on. Be present. The K.I.S.S. ~ Today is a gift! You might be wondering what you need to do in times like these. Finances Relationships Career Spiritual walk Health Mental well-being Family dynamics No matter your circumstances...there is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Your breath allows you to see that today is a gift! Morning Declaration (The Gift of Today is YOU!) Today you stand for your best selfie. Fearless, courageous, curious and fine. Struggles induce your personal growth, While challenges and change become the springboard to your progress. You think empowering and encouraging thoughts. You speak words of wisdom and truth.
