- 6253577 Let God Write Your StoryHave you ever stopped long enough to listen to what God's dreams are for you? Have you ever asked Him directly? No matter where you are in life, let God write your story. Imagine the transformative power of living the life that God has intricately designed for you, as opposed to following your own plans. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co "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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." ~ Jeremiah 29:11-13 Are you letting God show you His plans? Or do you have it all figured out? Maybe you're stuck because you've been trying to live out God's life, but in your eyes, it hasn't worked out too well. So, you say, "I've been living a long time. And I know my time on earth is finite. There's no way God can do what He wants through me. I'm too old." Did you know Moses was 80 years old when he had the burning bush moment? Age is not relative. God is! The K.I.S.S. ~ Let God write your story! Perhaps you've made decisions that, in hindsight, seem questionable or have veered off the path you believe was intended for you. Is God limited by your mistakes, missteps, and misconceptions? Can He not craft a new story for you today? At times, we confine God to a smaller box than the one we construct for ourselves. Let's not underestimate the grandeur of God's plans for you or disregard the unfathomable possibilities He has in store. Nothing is impossible! Yet, we still put God in a box and confine Him to our own perceptions and limitations. Let's not underestimate the transcendent glory of His intentions for us or dismiss the profound blessings awaiting when we surrender control and allow His divine providence to shape our story. "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 Ponder the boundless blessings that await and embrace the truth that your purpose unfolds, not by your own merits, but by surrendering to the everlasting wisdom and grace of your Divine Author. Let God write your story. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 6263576 Break the Silent AssumptionIn marriage, the assumption that your spouse can effortlessly decipher your thoughts and emotions is a common pitfall that can unravel even the strongest of relationships. It's time to break the silent assumption. This silent expectation can lead to a host of problems, including miscommunication, unmet expectations, and emotional distance. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The Pitfalls of Mind-Reading Assumptions in Marriages: Assuming your partner can read your mind sets the stage for misunderstanding and frustration. "Mind-reading in marriage can lead to feelings of neglect and resentment. It's essential to communicate openly to avoid these pitfalls." ~ Kristianne Wargo Expressing Love Amidst Assumptions: To demonstrate love effectively in a relationship marred by assumptions, open and candid communication becomes paramount. Love not only thrives on understanding but also on verbalizing desires, needs, and thoughts to bridge any gaps. "Love is about being vulnerable and transparent. 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. "Ask, and you will know." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6273575 To Do vs. To BeRaising kids is a struggle and an honor all at the same time. However, as parents, we can be hyper-focused on all the activities and lose sight of our own children and who they are becoming. It's the battle of To Do vs. To Be. This is what a day in a life as a parent looks like. Our days are often filled with endless to-do lists and bustling activities, leaving little room to pause and truly connect with our children on a deeper level. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the midst of the chaos, it's crucial to strike a balance between the tasks we need to accomplish and the essence of who our children are meant to be. 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.

- 6283574 Rest Before You BreakLife is hard. Life is amazing. Life is challenging. Life is miraculous. But there you sit, tired of the same ole things. Don't be consumed by the rivers of emotions. Rest before you break! Life is a whirlwind of moments – some jubilant, some tumultuous, some mundane. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the midst of this chaotic dance, it's easy to get overwhelmed and fatigued. But in the relentless pursuit of our goals and dreams, we often forget one crucial ingredient for success: rest. In a society that glorifies busyness and productivity, taking a step back to rest is often viewed as a sign of weakness or laziness. 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. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed or on the brink of burnout, remember: rest before you break. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6293573 Humanize Your GoalsIn a world where the allure of junk food is ever-present, the idea of being healthy can sometimes feel daunting. The struggle to resist the temptation of junk is real; try to humanize your goals and live healthily. This is where the concept of humanizing your goals comes into play - making your health aspirations relatable and achievable where you are in your life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at 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. Whether it's completing a week of consistent workouts or trying a new vegetable recipe, acknowledge and reward yourself for each achievement. This positive reinforcement will keep you motivated and engaged in your healthy living journey. "Success is not just reaching the finish line; it's about embracing the journey and applauding yourself for every step forward. Each small victory brings you closer to your larger goal of holistic well-being. This is honoring who you are and who you are becoming." ~ Kristianne Wargo By humanizing your health goals and infusing them with personalization, harmony, and recognition of progress, you can transform your outlook on healthy living. Embrace the process, be kind to yourself, and remember that small steps taken consistently lead to significant results. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Your health goals are a reflection of your self-care journey. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer to anyone." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6323570 Secure LoveFinding a love that is unwavering and secure can seem like an elusive dream. But as believers, we have access to a love that surpasses all understanding – a love found in Jesus Christ, a secure love. The Bible is filled with verses that remind us of the secure love we have in our Savior. In Psalm 36:7, we are assured that, "How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What a beautiful picture that's painted of God's protective love surrounding us, providing us with a safe haven in the midst of life's storms. In 1 John 4:16, we are reminded that, "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." 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. However, Proverbs 3:5-6 urges us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. By acknowledging God's sovereignty and entrusting our lives to Him, we can experience a sense of peace and security that cannot be shaken by the uncertainties of this world. The K.I.S.S. ~ Secure love! In Matthew 11:28, Jesus extends an invitation to all who are weary and burdened, saying, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 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. May you find peace and security in the arms of the One who loves you more than you can ever imagine. "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 "Be present. Be incredible.

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.

- 6343568 Change the Time; Don't Change the RoutinesIn today's fast-paced world, maintaining routines can be a challenge, especially when raising children. As parents, we must make adjustments to keep the routine. Change the time; don't change the routine. As a parent, it's essential to empower your child to establish and stick to their routines to really champion productivity and success in their everyday lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What does your daily life look like Sunday through Saturday? How does it vary, and on what days? Change the time; don't change the routine. Empower the magic routines. The K.I.S.S. ~ Empower the magic routines! 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.

- 6353567 Turn Up the HeatWhat is the real reason why you are fearful of living out your purpose and dreams? Life is not going to give you what you want when you want; however, life can be an incredible ride when you turn up the heat! Have you ever paused to wonder why pursuing your purpose and dreams fills you with fear? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's as if the obstacles, uncertainties, and challenges have a way of casting a shadow over your aspirations. But what if, instead of shrinking back, you chose to turn up the heat and embrace the journey ahead? In life, there are no guarantees that you'll receive what you desire exactly when you want it. However, when you begin to see life as an exhilarating adventure rather than a series of hurdles to overcome, remarkable things can happen. It's time to shed the excuses that have held you back and fully embrace the unique gifts and talents that make you extraordinary. The world is waiting for you to step into your greatness—don't keep it waiting any longer. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Enough of the negative self-talk and self-doubt. It serves no purpose in propelling you toward your dreams. Instead, it's time to rise to the occasion, to trust in your abilities, and to turn up the heat on your aspirations. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn up the heat! Embrace the challenges, for they are the stepping stones that lead to growth and success. Life wasn't meant to be easy, but it can be immensely rewarding when you choose to walk the path less travelled. Surround yourself with individuals who inspire and uplift you, who challenge you to be the best version of yourself. Walk with the wise and become wise. ~ Proverbs 13:20 Let their wisdom and encouragement fuel your journey towards achieving your dreams.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo Carry the torch with you, serving as a beacon of hope when feeling overwhelmed and weary. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unleash your resilience! So, what step are you ready to take today to unleash your resilience? Maybe it's reaching out for support, setting boundaries, practicing self-care, or simply choosing to believe in yourself. Maybe you need to quit something, or make a phone call you've been putting off. Whatever it may be, remember that each small action brings you closer to your own strength and resilience. Acknowledge your own feelings, power, and capabilities. Embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. There is no need to run and hide unless you are giving up. Turn on some good music and dance your way to happiness. When your body moves, you increase your endorphin rush, which means you feel better. So, surround yourself with positivity and inspiration. And most importantly, be kind to yourself along the journey. You have the strength within you to rise above any adversity and emerge stronger than before. Embrace the journey, take that first step, and let your resilience shine bright. This is the day that you have been made to shine! Create your now!! Unleash Your Light! (by Kristianne Wargo) In the shadows you may linger, Feeling small and lost within, Wrapped in doubts that try to hinder, But a spark of light resides within. Though the darkness may cloud your view, And whispers of doubt fill the air, Know that strength lies deep in you, A resilience beyond compare. You are more than the doubts that whisper, More than the fears that hold you back, Unleash your light, let it shimmer, Break free from the shadows' attack. Embrace the journey, rise and shine, For within you lies a flame so bright, With each step, with each climb, You illuminate the darkest night. So when you feel less than, not enough, Remember your worth, your inner glow, Embrace your strength, your spirit tough, And let your resilience show. Press on, dear soul, through storm and strife, For in your heart lies endless might, Unleash your light, embrace your life, And shine on, a beacon of resilience, burning bright. "Be present.

- 6383564 Finding Clarity on Life's PathAmidst the chaos of daily life, it's easy to lose sight of our true path 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? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at 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.

- 6403562 Nothing I Do Is Good EnoughIn the journey of marriage, it's easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you're constantly falling short, like 'nothing I do is good enough' for your spouse. This toxic mindset can breed discontent and resentment. Which, of course, erodes the foundation of love and support that marriage is built upon. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The cycle of perfectionism can be particularly devastating when one partner feels the weight of unrealistic expectations, leading to a disconnect that can tear apart even the strongest bonds. 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."

As parents, we invest our hearts and souls into raising children. We dream big dreams for them and hope for nothing but the best. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

But are you defined by your child's actions? What do you think? If you want to rise above the disappointments of your children, you gotta live life with your flare. 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.

- 6423560 Lead with FocusWhen overwhelm weakens your day because you're trying to be and do everything for everyone; if you want to turn around the day and inspire yourself, you must lead with focus. In a world where multitasking is praised and busyness is glorified, it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to be everything for everyone. The result? Overwhelm, stress, and a sense of constantly chasing your tail. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if there was a different way to approach your day, a way that not only eliminates overwhelm but also inspires and motivates you to pursue what truly matters? This is where leading with focus comes in. Leading with focus is about honing in on what truly matters to you, focusing your energy and attention on those things, and letting go of the rest. It's about prioritizing your tasks, setting clear goals, and taking intentional action toward achieving them. It's about turning overwhelm into opportunity and using it as a catalyst for growth and success. The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead with focus! When you lead with focus, you create space for clarity and purpose in your life. You start each day with intention, knowing exactly what you want to achieve and how you're going to get there. You no longer waste time on tasks that don't align with your goals or values; instead, you channel your energy into activities that move you closer to your dreams. Leading with focus also allows you to overcome setbacks and challenges with resilience and determination. Instead of letting failures and shortcomings derail you, you see them as learning opportunities and stepping stones to success. You dust yourself off, learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward with unwavering confidence. So, if overwhelm is weakening your day and holding you back from reaching your greatness and feeling alive, it's time to shift your mindset and lead with focus. There's no time like the present to take control of your life, prioritize what's important to you, and pursue it with passion and purpose. Start today, and watch as you transform overwhelm into opportunity, one focused step at a time. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6433559 Are You Tired of Starting Over?In pursuing a healthier lifestyle, the cycle of starting over can be discouraging. With busyness leading your day, are you tired of starting over? Don't let failure be associated with your healthy living anymore. Whether it's committing to a new workout routine, attempting a fad diet, or vowing to prioritize self-care, setbacks are all too common on the road to wellness. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But fear not, for there are ways to break this cycle and persist in reaching your goals. 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.

- 6443558 Walk, Don't Run!Just because you know where you're headed doesn't mean you go that way. Walk, don't run! Maybe then you'll see what matters, synchronize your rhythms, and stabilize your approach for such a time as this. Walk, don't run! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Imagine if you saw every detail on your way to work or the grocery store. Every car that drove by. Every building you passed. Every tree in bloom. Every stranger walking on the sidewalk. Every yellow light you rushed through. Every leaf that blew. 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.

- 6453557 What Happens Next?You have finally reached your goal. But what happens next? After getting to the destination, there are no plans for the next steps. At some point, you have to be willing to go back to the drawing board. Who would have thought? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Dreams are not meant to have to go back to the beginning. 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.

- 6463556 As I Have Loved YouIn the busyness of our daily lives, it's easy to forget the fundamental truth within the scriptures. John 13:34 says, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." But what does it really mean to embody this divine love in our relationships with others? How can we love one another authentically and wholeheartedly, mirroring the boundless love that God has bestowed upon us? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co At the heart of this commandment lies the cornerstone of compassion, empathy, and kindness. 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.

- 6473555 Cut to the ChaseHow many times have you held your tongue, only to regret that what should have been said could have been said when it mattered? In marriage, there are times when you need to cut to the chase and say it like it is. In the world of marriage, communication is key. Knowing when to speak up and when to hold back can make a world of difference in a successful relationship. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at 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. 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.

- 6483554 Security During Difficult TimesAs a parent, it is natural to want to shield your little ones from the harsh realities of life. However, it is crucial to remember that instilling a sense of security during difficult times can help children develop resilience. It can also help them develop coping mechanisms to face adversity in the future. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Life is not ever going to be easy. 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.
