  1. 4813720 What Are You Truly Building?When we think about the future, we often plan for it financially, professionally, or even socially. But how often do you stop to consider what you are truly building when it comes to your family – your living legacy journey? The living legacy you live and leave behind is not just about how many kids you have or the holiday traditions you uphold; it's about the lasting impact your family will have for generations to come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Building a family foundation goes beyond the immediate concerns of parenting styles or family dynamics. Yes, they're essential, but it involves looking at the bigger picture and understanding the living legacy you want to create. So, what are you truly building with your family? Why Designing Your Legacy Matters Life is a precious gift that should be intentionally designed and planned for. From the number of children you have (which there are many questions that come with that) to the values and traditions you instill in them, every decision shapes the living legacy and its impact. By thinking ahead and considering the long-term impact of your choices, you can build a strong foundation that stands the test of time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build your family on purpose! You can always view it from a family planning perspective, but the purpose is much greater than the number. What does it look like to build your family on purpose? Three Ways to Build a Lasting Family Legacy 1. Create Meaningful Connections: Take the time to connect with each family member on a deeper, more meaningful level. Listen to their dreams, fears, and aspirations, and offer unwavering support. Building a strong bond within your family will foster trust, resilience, and a sense of belonging that transcends generations. Just because you are the parent doesn't mean your kids automatically feel your connection and support. You've gotta put yourself out there and show them you care! 2. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing, so be mindful of the values and behaviors you exhibit in front of them. They are your mirror. Show integrity, kindness, and empathy in your actions, and your children will follow suit. By being a positive role model, you set the tone for the type of legacy you want to create. If you are always trying to prove your worth to them, they are not going to see you the way you think they see you. You're going to be "that" kind of parent who is all about themselves. No ego in parenting! See your child, not yourself! 3. Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge the achievements and milestones of each family member, no matter how big or small. Celebrating successes builds confidence, fosters unity, and creates lasting memories that strengthen family bonds. These shared experiences shape the narrative of your family's living legacy, leaving a lasting legacy of love and support. Embracing the Journey of Building Your Family Legacy Building a family legacy is a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and growth. It's not always easy, but the rewards far outweigh the struggles. Embrace the process of designing your legacy with intention, love, and a commitment to nurturing the relationships that matter most. Remember, what you are really building is more than just a family – you are creating a living legacy that will endure for generations to come. Cherish the moments, learn from the setbacks, and celebrate the beauty that emerges from the journey. Your family's living legacy is a reflection of your love, values, and commitment to creating a lasting impact on the world. Start building your family living legacy today! "Be present. Be incredible.

  3. 4833718 Watch What You SayHealthy living is a choice you can make every day. Perhaps you have chosen to do so, but your words do not match your actions. Watch what you say! Imagine calling yourself every day and telling yourself what to do. What do you sound like? Would you be empowered about what you need to do for the day? Or would you talk down to yourself, claiming all of the things that have gone wrong lately? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Life is not about the failures, but how you take the lessons learned and apply them to your daily life.  Yes, you get to choose how you show up. You get to determine how "healthy" you want to be. You can lean toward being a very health-conscious enthusiast. Or you go a little slower and figure it out along the way.  Healthy living is a daily commitment. Your thoughts connect to your actions, which tell your body what healthy looks like. For some, it's sitting on the couch, not doing much but enjoying a few chips and dip. Then you have those who want better than where they are. What do you do to stay inspired? What thoughts are leading your actions because of what you speak? You gotta watch what you say, or it won't be a very good day! The K.I.S.S. ~ Watch what you say! You can't change what you don't recognize! So if you know you are endangering yourself with your words, you have to figure out what is not working to you can change and make your words work for you. 1. Identify Your Trigger Words: Begin by recognizing and acknowledging the words or phrases in your self-talk that do not serve your goals or well-being. These trigger words may include self-critical statements, limiting beliefs, or negative affirmations that undermine your confidence and motivation. By identifying these trigger words, you can become more aware of the impact they have on your thoughts and actions. Once you are aware of the specific words that hold you back, you can work towards reframing or eliminating them from your inner dialogue. 2. Rewrite Your Self-Talk: Once you have identified your trigger words, the next step is to rewrite your self-talk to align with your goals and values. Replace negative or unhelpful phrases with positive, empowering, and affirming statements that support your growth and well-being. For example, if you catch yourself saying, "I always fail at this," reframe it as, "I am capable of learning from my experiences and improving over time." By consciously choosing your words and crafting a more constructive inner dialogue, you can shift your mindset towards one that fosters self-confidence, resilience, and positive action. 3. Reflect on What You Say and Repeat: Regular reflection on your self-talk is essential for maintaining awareness and consistency in reshaping your inner dialogue. Take time to review your thoughts and words throughout the day, noting any instances where negative or counterproductive language arises. Reflect on how these statements impact your emotions, decisions, and behaviors. Celebrate moments when you successfully replace trigger words with positive affirmations and new phrases, and recognize areas where improvement is needed. Consistent reflection and correction of your self-talk, followed by repetition of positive affirmations and empowering language, will help reinforce a healthier and more supportive inner dialogue over time. By actively identifying trigger words, rewriting your self-talk, and engaging in ongoing reflection and practice, you can effectively change what you say to yourself and create a more positive and empowering inner dialogue. By nurturing a mindset that aligns with your goals and values, you can boost your motivation, resilience, and overall well-being on the path to personal growth and success. "Be present.

  5. 4853716 From Mind to MotionThe influence of your thoughts on your actions is great. Research reveals that the connection is much deeper than you might think. And you wonder why it's been said, "What you think about, you bring about." Where do your thoughts take you—from mind to motion? Have you ever paused to ponder the path your thoughts pave towards your actions? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com The age-old adage, "What you think about, you bring about," resonates with a profound truth - our thoughts possess the uncanny ability to shape our actions. Delving deeper into the realms of cognitive science unravels the intricacies of this dynamic interplay between the mind and motion. Research underscores the profound influence of thoughts on actions, painting a vivid picture of how our cognitive processes transcend mere musings to spur tangible behaviors. The neural pathways forged by our thoughts sculpt a blueprint that guides our actions, often dictating the course of our lives. And you wonder why it's hard to shake bad habits to create good ones. This intricate dance between thoughts and actions forms the cornerstone of our journey towards realizing our dreams and aspirations. If you want to chart a course towards your goals and dreams, a pivotal shift in your mindset becomes imperative. It's a psychological metamorphosis—a journey that demands a recalibration of thought patterns to align with desired outcomes. Your equation must be recalibrated. The K.I.S.S. ~ Recalibrate your thought patterns! Your life will not change unless your thoughts do. Your mind constructs the plans as to how you move forward, or not. Change is a constant. But to change your actions, it starts with your thoughts. That's when you change your life! So, how can you recalibrate your thought patterns? Here are three transformative steps to renew your mind and pave the way for harmonious actions: 1. Mindful Awareness: Cultivate a habit of mindful introspection to observe the thoughts that surface in your mind. By fostering awareness of your thought patterns, you can identify limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that impede your progress. Through mindfulness practices such as meditation and journaling, you can gain clarity on the narratives that govern your actions. 2. Build Confidence: To achieve this, infuse your mental landscape with positive affirmations that reinforce your goals and aspirations. By consciously replacing self-limiting beliefs with empowering declarations, you can instill a sense of confidence and self-belief that propels you towards action. Affirmations serve as potent tools to reprogram your subconscious mind and realign your thoughts with your desired outcomes. "You can't live in the past if you want to move forward in the future; you must be present today!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Visualize Where You're Going: Engage in the practice of visualization to vividly envision your goals and the actions necessary to bring them to life. By creating mental imagery (you're painting the picture in your mind) of success and embodying the emotions associated with achieving your dreams, you prime your mind for action. Visualization serves as a powerful catalyst that bridges the gap between thought and motion, empowering you to tread the path towards your dreams with clarity and conviction. Embark on the transformative journey from mind to motion by unraveling the profound connection between your thoughts and actions. As you embrace the power of conscious thought and intentional action, you wield the keys to unlock a future brimming with limitless possibilities. Let your thoughts pave the way for transformative motions, guiding you towards your highest aspirations and wildest dreams. "Be present. Be incredible.

  6. 4863715 Know God's Will For YouDon't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. ~ Romans 12:2 (NLT) What does this verse mean to you? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Another version of the scripture is: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIV) How are you living your life differently? Are you considered normal, or do you stand out in a crowd? As the Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Christians in Rome, he is reminding them of what's at the core of every Christian's faith. We are to stand out and be different. We are not to conform to the patterns of this world.  Often, we find ourselves bombarded with societal pressures, cultural norms, and endless distractions that pull us away from our true purpose and our connection to God. What does your everyday life look like? Are you doing what everyone else wants, living up to the world's expectations? Or are you seeking what God desires for you? The K.I.S.S. ~ Know God's Will for you! It's not an easy process to gain the wisdom for knowing God's will; however, a willing heart is required. If you want to live out God's purpose for you here on earth, it requires sacrifice, a deeper understanding, and faith that transcends your own understanding. "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." ~ James 4:10 It's no longer about what everyone else wants, but who God has called you to become. You cannot point fingers and place blame on others. You must be obedient to what God requires of you and see yourself through God's eyes. It's not about what others are doing, but what you are not doing yourself.  Are you aligning with the Fruit of the Spirit and God's character? 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ~ Galatians 5:22-23 Knowing God's Will for yourself means that you are becoming more like Him, with His attributes. You'll never be God. But He does want you to possess the character of Himself.  Get in the Word to know God more, so you can walk in His presence more frequently, and open your heart to who He wants you to become. You will never "arrive" until you meet God face to face in Heaven.  So do your part every day, and walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24 "Be present. Be incredible.

  7. 4873714 Endless LoveWho doesn't want to be loved? But are you willing to put in the work to love deeper, so you can experience endless love? Marriage is a two-way street that requires both partners to join together in love to become better as a couple. However, endless love isn't just about feeling loved, but about actively participating in growing and nurturing the relationship. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com How does your marriage work for you now? Are you just going through the motions and keeping it so-so? Growing deeper in love requires action. You can't keep doing what you're doing if you want to be stretched and reach a deeper and more committed level of love. The length of time you've been married and the experiences you've had along the way certainly affect your marriage.  Regardless, if you desire endless love, you must commit. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make your commitment! For couples seeking to deepen their love this summer, here are three essential ways to love deeper and make a commitment to endless love: 1. Participate in Acts of Love: Love is not a passive emotion but an active choice that requires continuous effort and commitment. Love is a verb. So, get off the sidelines. Show your love through actions such as planning surprise date nights, writing heartfelt letters, or simply being present and attentive to your partner's needs. By actively participating in acts of love, you demonstrate your dedication to nurturing and strengthening your bond. 2. Cultivate Compassion and Understanding: True love thrives in an environment of compassion and understanding. Take the time to listen to your partner, empathize with their feelings, and communicate openly and honestly. Practice compassion by acknowledging and validating each other's emotions, even in challenging situations. By fostering a space of understanding and acceptance, you create the foundation for deep and lasting love. 3. Serve with a Generous Heart: Service is a powerful expression of love that goes beyond words and gestures. Make a conscious effort to serve your partner selflessly, whether it's through acts of kindness, support in their endeavors, or simply being a source of encouragement and strength. By serving with a generous heart, you not only enrich your partner's life but also strengthen the bond of love that connects you both. Endless love is not a destination but a journey of growth, self-discovery, and unwavering commitment. By actively participating, cultivating compassion, and serving with a generous heart, couples can deepen their love and make a lasting commitment to each other this summer and beyond. Love is indeed an action verb – let your actions speak volumes of the endless love you have for your sweetheart. "Be present. Be incredible.

  8. 4883713 The Value of FailuresRaising kids is not for the faint of heart. It takes more than a village to get through what is the most awesome responsibility anyone will ever experience. Yet, with all the competition of wanting what's best for your child, it leaves little room for failure. What happened to the value of failures? And this is not about parenting failures, even though there are many of those. Failure is a natural prerequisite for achieving success. No one achieves success on the first try always. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com But when you're a parent, secretly, that's all you want for your kids. What happened to paying your dues to get to the next level? Failure comes with a cost. But what cost does it gain? Success! As parents, we must let our kids make their own decisions as they grow up and expand their knowledge. Of course, parents need to give pertinent information and perspective on what they need to make better decisions. However, if parents do everything to prevent their child from failing, then what does their child gain? Parenting is a journey filled with challenges, and one of the toughest hurdles to overcome is the aversion to seeing our children fail. Failure, however, is a natural stepping stone to success, a crucial part of the learning process that cannot be overlooked. Step your kids to success, fail more! The K.I.S.S. ~ Step your kids to success, fail more! That's what must happen; you've gotta fail more as a kid. And parents need to let that happen. In a world that often prioritizes perfection and achievement, it's easy for parents to strive for their children to succeed on the first try. But what about the lessons that failures teach us? What about the resilience, determination, and growth that come from facing setbacks? To truly nurture your children's potential and help them develop critical thinking skills, observation abilities, and a broader perspective, parents can take the following steps: 1. Encourage Independence: Allow children to make their own decisions, even if it means they might fail. Independence fosters self-reliance and empowers children to learn from their mistakes. 2. Provide Guidance, Not Solutions: Instead of solving problems for them, offer guidance and support to help children navigate challenges on their own. This promotes problem-solving skills and builds confidence. 3. Celebrate Effort, Not Just Results: Shift the focus from the outcome to the effort and progress made. Celebrate the journey, highlighting the hard work and determination rather than just the end result. By embracing failures as learning opportunities and allowing children to experience obstacles, we as parents can instill resilience, perseverance, and a healthy attitude towards setbacks in our children. Remember, the path to success is paved with failures, and it's through these struggles that true growth and learning occur. Children cannot be handed everything on a silver or platinum platter. They need to learn that hard work brings greater reward. "Be present. Be incredible.

  10. 4903711 And Then...When was the last time you completed a healthy living goal or task, thinking that would be your everything? You've arrived! Or have you? Completion of one thing needs to be the stepping stone to your next thing, building your momentum— and then! Have you ever achieved a major health goal and thought, "This is it, I've made it"? But what about what comes next? That's where the magic truly happens - in the "and then." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Completing a health goal is just the beginning. It's the momentum you build after that that propels you towards your next achievement. So, how do you keep that momentum going? How do you stay focused on your personal priorities and live with purpose in your every day? Your life is a journey that deserves to be lived fully - from nourishing your mind, body, and spirit. Don't settle for mediocrity when greatness awaits. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The key is to strive for more, to push beyond boundaries and explore the vast possibilities that lie ahead. Keep your wheels turnin'! The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep your wheels turnin'! You must keep the momentum, or you will stall out! Nothing is worse than hitting a stall before you even plateau. The idea for healthy living is not about all the stuff you buy and supplements you take, that's all good. But if you don't keep your wheels turnin', everything is going to stop you. And you are worth more! I want you to hear that today...You are worth more! 1. Celebrate the Achievement: Acknowledge and celebrate the completion of a task. Reflect on the effort, time, and dedication it took to achieve this goal. This celebration can boost confidence and provide a sense of fulfillment, easing any feelings of anxiety or apprehension about moving on to the next task. 2. Set Clear Goals for the Next Task: Define clear and achievable goals for the next task. Breaking down the larger goal into smaller, manageable steps can make the transition feel less overwhelming. This approach helps maintain motivation and provides a roadmap for success, reducing feelings of uncertainty or doubt. 3. Practice Mindfulness and Self-compassion: Embrace mindfulness techniques to stay present and grounded during the transition phase. Acknowledge any emotions that arise, whether it's excitement, nervousness, or even fear of failure. Practice self-compassion by treating yourself with kindness and understanding, fostering a positive mindset as you embark on the next task. CHALLENGE: What's your "and then" in life? What actions can you take today that will shape your tomorrow? When you take time to celebrate achievements, set clear goals, and practice mindfulness and self-compassion, you can go from one thing to the next without interruption or pause. Momentum is on your side when you keep your wheels turnin'! Oh, come on! And then... "Be present. Be incredible.

  12. 4923709 Today, We RememberToday, we remember those who gave everything—their lives, their futures, their dreams—so that we could live in freedom. What freedoms are you thankful for? How can we become so busy that we can't even take 90 seconds to be grateful to those who gave us this country? Our heroes who sacrificed believed so strongly that they were willing to give their lives so you and I could have our freedoms. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com A True Hero Story: On June 6, 1944, during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II, a young paratrooper named Private First Class (PFC) Charles DeGlopper was part of the 82nd Airborne Division. 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? Today, we remember. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  13. 4933708 A Vacation for the SoulAs Memorial Weekend marks the onset of summertime and the anticipation of vacations and getaways, let's take a moment to consider a different kind of journey – a vacation for the soul. In our fast-paced lives filled with technology, family obligations, and career pursuits, it's easy to overlook the spiritual aspect of our existence. While we strive to fulfill our own desires and obligations, we must also ponder what God's purpose is for our lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Psalm 23:3 ~ "He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake."  This verse underscores the importance of seeking rejuvenation for our spirits and aligning ourselves with God's will to lead purposeful lives. As we immerse ourselves in holiday celebrations and leisure activities, let us not neglect the essence of our being – our spirit. We are not mere spectators in life but agents of God's divine plan, tailor-made with unique gifts and callings. To live out God's purpose, we must nourish our souls and commit to honoring His desires above all else. The K.I.S.S. ~ A vacation for the soul! Amidst the festivities and revelry, let us make a conscious effort to provide our spirits with the care and sustenance they require: 1. Intentional Rest and Reflection: Set aside moments of quiet contemplation and seek God's presence in stillness. Find solace in prayer, meditation, and reflection to rejuvenate your spirit. 2. Scriptural Guidance: Delve into the Word of God for wisdom and direction. Allow scripture to illuminate your path and inspire you to uphold His desires in your daily life. 3. Community and Fellowship: Surround yourself with fellow believers who can offer support, encouragement, and accountability on your spiritual journey. Share in the joy of worship and fellowship to invigorate your spirit. 4. Service and Purpose: Engage in acts of service and selflessness to fulfill God's purpose for your life. Seek opportunities to spread love, kindness, and compassion to others, reflecting the divine light within you. 5. Prioritize Your Relationship with God: Commit to nurturing your relationship with God above all else. Make Him the focal point of your life and allow His will to guide your actions and decisions. As we revel in the festivities of Memorial Weekend and the joys of summertime, let us not forget to embark on a sacred journey – a vacation for the soul. By tending to our spiritual well-being, we not only enrich our own lives but also honor God's purpose for us. Feast on the nourishment of His word, find solace in His presence, and commit to living out His desires in all we do. In prioritizing our spirits, we discover true abundance and fulfillment in God's divine plan and purpose for our lives. "Be present. Be incredible.

  14. 4943707 Reignite Your LoveIn the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy for the magic of marriage to get lost in the mix – buried beneath deadlines, to-do lists, and responsibilities. As you enjoy this holiday weekend, take a moment to recommit, reflect, and reignite your love for each other. Holidays give us an excuse to make time for each other. But why do we have to wait. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com As I was sitting at dinner with my family, specifically my daughter and her boyfriend, it took me back to when my husband and I were dating. 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.

  15. 4953706 Savvy Summertime Parenting HacksAre you dreading the impending summer days with your kids? Fear not! 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 right strategies, you can make the most of the sunny season with your little ones. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at 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 the balance between boundaries and fun is key to a successful summer for the whole family. "Be present. Be incredible.

  16. 4963705 Give Yourself More CreditIn a world where we often strive for perfection and compare ourselves to others, it's easy to lose sight of our own unique journey and accomplishments. But what if you celebrate how far you've come instead of focusing on what you haven't achieved? Give yourself more credit. Life is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, twists and turns, successes and setbacks. It's a constant journey of growth, learning, and self-discovery.

Join us at the Kairos 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. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo Keep taking those steps, believing in yourself, and watching as your journey multiplies your impact. "Be present. Be incredible.

  17. 4973704 When All H*ll Breaks LooseWhat do you do when all h*ll breaks loose regarding healthy living? There are so many times when you don't have any control, because outside factors are dictating the situation or circumstance. How do you go about making healthy choices? How do you make your life count when everything around you is crumbling? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com In times when everything seems to be falling apart and circumstances feel overwhelming, it's essential to remember that the power to make a positive impact on your well-being lies within you. 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.

  18. 4983703 Start Your Day HappySomething so basic can seem so obvious. But why don't we do the obvious, like being kind or sharing a smile? All it takes is a decision to make it happen. Why not start your day happy? All too often, we wake up letting what the day "means" and where it falls in the week determine whether or not we're gonna have a good day. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com How shallow it is of us to assume that the name of the day dictates the feeling you should have. What if you were to buy into the truth of how you get to control how you show up? Think about how you woke up today. Maybe you could ask yourself the same question as you go to bed. You can feel what you want, but you can also determine how you want to react or respond to your feelings. Just Monday is not liked by the majority of people who go to work, doesn't mean you have to dislike Monday. It's all your perspective. So why not.... The K.I.S.S. ~ Start your day happy! As you wake up each morning, take a moment to savor the sensations of a new day. Feel the rhythm of your heartbeat, take a deep breath, and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Instead of succumbing to negative thoughts or letting external circumstances dictate your mood, choose to show up with intention and positivity. Choose to show up with a kind smile! Why not greet the day with a smile and an open heart, ready to embrace whatever comes your way? By cultivating a mindset of gratitude and optimism, you set the stage for a day filled with joy and fulfillment. It's no longer about the outcomes or results of your circumstances. Remember, happiness is not dependent on external circumstances but rather on how we choose to perceive and respond to the world around us. Start your day happy! "Be present. Be incredible.

  19. 4993702 How To Make A Deadline Work For YouNot many like a deadline. However, it can keep you from losing what you want to gain. You can make a deadline work for you, but it boils down to your excuses or goals. What is the priority? And what is that priority for you? That is what matters in the end. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Indeed, people find it easier to keep doing what they are doing because they know what to expect. 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.

  20. 5003701 A Sign of HopeWhen life feels like it's crumbling down around you, it pushes you to think about your faith. Does God really hear me? Does He see what I need? Does He really care? Certainly, as you wrestle with living in an imperfect world, you want to know that God's got you, somewhere, a sign of hope. With every corner you turn and every valley you fall into, there doesn't always seem to be that hope. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Your life might look a little messy with a health crisis, a troubling child, an unsettling relationship, a questionable career path, or an aging parent. 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. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  21. 5013700 Show Me the HeartImagine waking up every morning with the decision to serve your spouse, which elevates them, builds their gifts and talents, and recognizes what they bring to the world they touch, especially your world. Show me the heart! Marriages would look so different. Maybe your marriage would be better off, too. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Unfortunately, we get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the day, and we forget about what matters. 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! That's what your spouse wants to see, hear, and feel as you choose to love unconditionally every day! "Be present. Be incredible.

  22. 5023699 Join the Front LinesBeing a parent requires us to perform many tasks under an undefined immense amount of stress. It's no wonder parents walk around with the deer-in-the-headlights look. At some point, we have to let go of trying everything and join the front lines. Our kiddos need us more than they tell us. And it's not just to feed them and tuck them in at night.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Whether they tell you or not, your child wants you around and they need you.  What they don't need is nagging and being that parent that won't listen or care about how they feel. 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. "If we rely on our kiddos to express everything they want, they will miss what they need." ~ Kristianne Wargo That's where incredible parents like you come in. You get to show up and fill up your child's life with hope, love, and resilience. Life is not easy when you're growing up. So, be there for your child. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be there for your child! 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. Join the front lines today and empower your child to thrive in every aspect of their life. "Be present. Be incredible.

  23. 5033698 Ahhhh...Perspective!No matter what's happening, you find what you are looking for. So, what are you in search of today? Where do you want to travel in your day to light up your way? You are made for more. Ahhhh...Perspective! What is worth finding is worth fighting for. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com You have to be willing to do what seems impossible. You have to be willing to go for what doesn't come easy. Easy is the road everyone travels. You're not everyone. So you must pick up your heart, dust off what hurts and then make a statement by taking action. Ahh…perspective. The K.I.S.S. ~ Ahhhh...perspective! As we set our sights on our dreams and aspirations, it's important to remember that the road to success is rarely linear. It's paved with obstacles, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty. But it's in these moments that our true strength and resilience shine through. Embracing challenges not as roadblocks, but as stepping stones to growth, can transform the way we approach life. Each hurdle becomes an opportunity to learn, evolve, and ultimately, become the best version of ourselves. Taking action is essential in turning our visions into reality. It's the daily choices, the small steps taken towards our goals, that ultimately lead to significant progress. By showing up consistently and doing the work, we inch closer to our dreams with each new day. And let's not forget the power of perspective in inspiring others. By embodying a positive mindset and demonstrating what's possible through our actions, we have the ability to uplift those around us and ignite a ripple effect of positivity and empowerment. So, as you embark on your journey towards a life of purpose and fulfillment, remember the magic of perspective. Choose to see the beauty amidst the chaos, the opportunity in every challenge, and the growth that comes from embracing a mindset of possibility. Your reality is a reflection of your perspective. So, take a deep breath, embrace the journey ahead with open arms, and remember: Ahhhh...perspective. "Be present. Be incredible.

  24. 5043697 You're Not Fat, Your Thoughts AreHealthy living does not come easily. 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 reflection? Who would ever talk to themselves like this while they're teaching their kids about kindness? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the 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. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
