  1. 7453457 It's Just A Bathtub!Why do we take so many things to the extreme in marriage? Your spouse may comment that baths are the best. And now, you find yourself defending something that doesn't even make sense. It's just a bathtub! But the reality is that to us, it's not just a bathtub. It is feelings and emotions attached to tangible things that create our environment the way we know it.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  When someone comes in, even with a simple comment or remark, taking it personally is the real deal. It's like -- "Don't mess with my shower!" Where in your marriage have you gone to the extreme? Be honest-- you know where you have. Over time, this can really get into the crevices of the foundation in your marriage. These little jabs and pokes make you appear as if your game is the only game. That kind of attitude is going to get you in the doghouse or, worse, out on the curb. So, if you want to build a strong foundation, you have to remember that it's just a bathtub. See it for what it is. The K.I.S.S. ~ See it for what it is! 1. UNTANGLE YOUR THOUGHTS -- Don't vomit all over your partner if you haven't given much thought to your response. That can get you into a lot of trouble. 2. LOVE RESPECTFULLY -- It's easy to say you love someone, but what do your words and actions show? That is key. Be careful not to attack just because. Kindness goes a long way. 3. BE WHO YOU WANT TO SEE -- If you are quick to jump, then expect only the same with your spouse. It's important to have that personal check-in. Because it takes two to tango. It's essential for spouses to recognize that seemingly trivial matters can hold deeper meanings and emotions in the context of a relationship. You can build a stronger foundation based on understanding and mutual respect. Remember, it's just a bathtub. After all, a strong marriage is built on understanding and empathy, not just surface-level interactions. "Be present. Be incredible.

  2. 7463456 Keep It TogetherIt's so hard for parents to find the balance with everyone experiencing their own season of growth. Yet, it's important to keep it together. Hold on, for the rides get better. Don't give up; family is forever! As parents, finding the delicate balance between work, family, and personal growth can often feel like riding a rollercoaster with unpredictable twists and turns. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Juggling everyone's schedules and interests while trying to carve out quality time for each family member can be overwhelming. When the chaos threatens to overwhelm you, it's essential to remember one thing: family is forever, and it's worth holding on tight for the ride. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hold on tight for the ride! "Family is not an important thing, it's everything." - Michael J. Fox In the whirlwind of responsibilities and commitments, mothers often find themselves pulled in multiple directions. From managing schedules to nurturing interests, it can be challenging to create a harmonious household. To facilitate peace in the midst of chaos, here are three things parents can do: 1. GET CHATTY -- Embrace the Power of Communication: Create open lines of communication within the family. Encourage each family member to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. By fostering an environment where everyone's voice is heard, conflicts can be resolved more effectively. 2. TIME TOGETHER -- Prioritize Quality Time: Set aside dedicated time each day to connect with each family member individually. Whether it's a shared meal, a family game night, or a simple conversation before bedtime, cherish these moments of togetherness. Quality time strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories. 3. CARE TOGETHER -- Practice Self-Care: Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup. As parents, it's crucial to prioritize self-care and recharge your own batteries. Whether it's a quiet moment alone, a walk in nature, or pursuing a hobby, taking care of yourself is essential to being a present and patient parent. "Being a parent means sacrifice, but it also means growth." - Kristianne Wargo Fathers play a vital role in supporting the family structure, but they too can feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities. To support one another during challenging times, it's essential to communicate openly, lean on each other for support, and remember that together, you can weather any storm. In the midst of the whirlwind of parenting, remember to keep it together. Hold onto each other, cherish the moments, and keep moving forward, knowing that the toughest seasons of growth often yield the most beautiful blooms. Family is forever, and it's worth every moment of the ride. "Be present. Be incredible.

  3. 7473455 Build Something To LastHow many of your life's projects have you tried to take a shortcut, only to discover it was the longer route? It's not time to cut corners. Time is given back when you do it right in the beginning. Build something to last! How many times do you catch yourself falling into the trap of rushing through life without considering the long-term consequences? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  We are often tempted to take shortcuts, cut corners, and sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. But what if, instead of seeking the easy way out, you chose to build something to last? The K.I.S.S. ~ Build something to last! The true essence of success lies in embracing the fundamentals of life - the deep-rooted values, principles, and habits that withstand the test of time. "The fundamentals of life are not flashy; fundamentals are fireproof." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's in these foundational elements that our character, relationships, and endeavors find strength and resilience. When we prioritize doing things the right way, even when it's not the fastest or easiest option, we invest in our future selves. Each choice you make to act with integrity, to work diligently, and to cultivate meaningful connections is a building block in the construction of a life built, your blueprint, the divine design, to withstand challenges and stand the test of time. Rushing through life may offer momentary satisfaction, but it often comes at the cost of missed opportunities, unstable foundations, and unfulfilled potential. Your greatness may be left behind! Why settle for short-term gains when you can sow seeds today that will yield a bountiful harvest tomorrow? As author James Clear aptly puts it, "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." So, let your choices be a testament to your commitment to building something to last—a legacy of integrity, perseverance, and purpose that transcends fleeting trends and momentary pleasures. Stay away from quick fixes and instant results; be the exception. Choose to embrace the journey, honor the process, and build something that endures long after the buzz of immediacy fades. Because in the end, the true measure of success is not how fast you go, but how far you can go with a foundation built to last. "Be present. Be incredible.

  4. 7483454 Made For MoreAs the days grow longer and warmer, it's the perfect time to reassess our routines for optimal health and wellness. If you find yourself feeling stuck or in need of a fresh start, remember you're made for more.   Do you think of yourself in that manner? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  You are made for more? So why not consider a routine reboot? The K.I.S.S. ~ Routine reboot! If you're wondering when it's time for a routine reboot, consider the following signs: a lack of motivation, feeling stagnant or stuck in a rut, or noticing that your current routine is no longer serving your goals or needs. Changing your routine to align with the season and your personal growth is essential for your overall well-being. Each season brings unique opportunities for nourishing our bodies and minds. In the summer, for example, you might focus on outdoor activities, hydration, and light, refreshing meals. By adapting your routine to work with the season, you can enhance your connection to nature and support your body's natural rhythms. To sustain a routine reboot, consistency and self-awareness are key. By setting realistic goals, checking in with yourself regularly, and being open to adjustments, you can create a routine that works best for you. Remember, it's okay to start small and build momentum gradually. "Change begins with the willingness to try something new." ~ Kristianne Wargo To begin a routine reboot, start by reflecting on your current habits and identifying areas for improvement. Consider what aspects of your routine no longer serve you and where you'd like to see positive changes. Whether it's incorporating more movement, improving your sleep hygiene, or dedicating time for self-care, taking that first step is crucial in initiating a successful reboot. It's important to consider a routine reboot as a way to prioritize your well-being and personal growth. By embracing change and listening to your body's signals, you can set yourself on a path towards a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Remember, routines are meant to evolve and adapt to our ever-changing needs and circumstances. Three things you can do to reboot your routine include: 1. Start your day with intention: Begin each morning by setting positive intentions for the day ahead. Whether it's through meditation, journaling, or affirmations, this practice can help you stay focused and motivated. As Kristianne Wargo suggests, "Setting intentions helps guide your actions with purpose and clarity." 2. Incorporate movement breaks: Break up long periods of sitting with short bursts of physical activity throughout the day. Whether it's a quick walk outside, stretching at your desk, or a mini workout session, these movement breaks can boost your energy and productivity. 3. Prioritize self-care rituals: Dedicate time each day to nurturing your mind, body, and soul. Whether it's through reading a book, taking a relaxing bath, or practicing mindfulness, self-care rituals are essential in maintaining balance and well-being. As Kristianne Wargo emphasizes, "Self-care is not selfish; it's a necessary investment in yourself." By implementing these strategies and embracing a routine reboot mindset, you can cultivate a healthier, more balanced lifestyle that aligns with your goals and values. "Be present. Be incredible.

  5. 7493453 Make Your Own LuckWhat if you were to design your day from start to finish? What would it look like? How would it feel? What if you created your own moments; do you think you could make your own luck? In the maze of life, it's easy to feel like a mere pawn in the game of chance, waiting for luck to strike. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  So, go back to the what-ifs. What if you dared to challenge this notion, to take the reins to steer your every day? What if, by design, you crafted each moment of your day with intention and purpose? Could we truly make our own luck? Oftentimes, we complain about what we don't have but choose to do nothing about it. What if you committed to consistency in the design of your day? Now, this consistency would be made up of things you choose. For example, choosing instead of complaining. Acting instead of doubting. Discovering instead of fearing. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make your own luck! Life would look a whole lot different, and you might be on your way to making your own luck. Consistency is the key to achieving your greatest desires. You don't have to wait for opportunities; create your now! You get the power to transform your life. It's not about waiting for the stars to align, but about taking intentional steps towards our goals. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Each decision, each action, and each choice we make shapes the trajectory of our journey. Instead of whining over what you lack, what if you focused on what you can create? Imagine a day where your moments are not dictated by circumstance, but by choice. Where complaining gives way to gratitude, doubt transforms into faith, and fear is replaced by courage.  Embrace the art of intentional living, and watch as your day blooms into possibilities to serve and to live well.  May your presence craft your day with purpose.

  6. 7503452 The Possibilities Lay in the MindHave you ever felt stuck in a rut, clambering for something different but finding yourself unable to break free from your own mental barriers? The possibilities lay in the mind; trust yourself. The mind has this powerful ability to both inspire and hinder, often playing tricks on us, convincing us to stay within the confines of our comfort zones. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But what if you could see beyond these self-imposed limitations and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead? What if you could silence the thoughts of fear and doubt, and explode into a nature of calm and consistent adventure? Now, that might seem like a paradox-- but sometimes what is magnificent comes from what appears muted or opposite. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unmute the greatness within! It's time to challenge the status quo and embark on a journey of stretching and growing. Here are three ways to face your fears head-on and step out of your own way: 1. JUMP IN NOW -- Embrace Fear: Instead of avoiding or suppressing your fears, confront them head-on. Feel the fear and just do it! Acknowledge the discomfort, but don't let it hold you back from pursuing your dreams. By embracing fear as a natural part of the growth process, you empower yourself to take bold steps toward the unknown. 2. LIGHT YOUR BELIEF TORCH -- Cultivate Self-Trust: Trust your instincts and believe in your abilities. As Mark Twain famously said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." By trusting in yourself and your decisions, you open yourself up to a world of endless possibilities and opportunities for personal and professional growth. You get to see what is possible in the present. 3. TAKE A.I.M. -- Action Ignites Motivation: Break free from analysis paralysis and take decisive action towards your goals. As motivational speaker Tony Robbins once said, "The only impossible journey is the one you never begin." Make a commitment to yourself to push past your self-imposed limitations and take tangible steps toward the life you desire. Whether it's signing up for a new class, starting a passion project, or embarking on a new adventure, the key is to take that first step and keep moving forward. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Break free from the chains of your mind and embrace the limitless possibilities that await you." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to silence the voices of doubt and fear and step boldly into the unknown. "The path to your growth is paved with challenges and uncertainties, but it is in overcoming these obstacles that you experience your miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo So are you ready? Dare to dream. Fare to take action. Dare to believe in yourself. The possibilities lay not outside of you, but within your own mind. Embrace the journey ahead and watch as your life transforms before your very eyes. What you see, you can receive! "Be present. Be incredible.

  7. 7513451 But Have You RSVP'd?In life, there seem to be more messes than blessings, but hope doesn't come from what you bring to the table, what's in your bank account, or your success. It comes from an open invitation, but have you RSVP'd? In a world where routine can become comfort, change can often seem daunting. We find ourselves content in the familiar, hesitant to step into the unknown. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But what if the path less traveled is where we are truly meant to be? What if, like Paul in the Bible, we too can undergo a transformation that leads us to our purpose, our destiny? In Acts 9:1-19, we see the incredible story of Saul, a man who once persecuted Christians, only to be struck down and blinded by a great light on the road to Damascus. Saul's encounter with God transformed him into Paul, a devoted follower of Christ whose life's work would shape the early Christian church. Like Saul, many of us may find ourselves stuck in our own ways, blinded by our own perceptions and fears. We resist change, clinging to what is comfortable and familiar. But God's plans for us may require a shift in perspective, a willingness to step out in faith and embrace the unknown. The K.I.S.S. ~ But have you RSVP'd? Payne Stewart was a professional golfer known for his distinctive fashion sense and remarkable skills on the course. However, his legacy goes far beyond his achievements in golf. Leading up to his tragic death in a plane crash in 1999, many believe that Payne Stewart experienced a profound spiritual awakening that transformed his life. Stewart had always been known for his fiery temperament and competitive spirit on the golf course. But as he journeyed deeper into his faith, he began to exhibit a newfound sense of peace and humility. Friends and fellow golfers noticed a change in him, as he became more focused on his relationships with others and less on his own success. In the weeks leading up to the plane crash that claimed his life, Stewart reportedly spent more time with his family, cherishing moments with his wife and children. He also made a point to reach out to friends and colleagues, expressing his gratitude and love for them in a way he hadn't before. Tragically, Payne Stewart's life was cut short in the prime of his golfing career. However, his newfound faith and the impact he had on those around him endured long after his passing. Many believe that his spiritual transformation in the final days of his life was a testament to the profound impact faith can have on a person, even in the face of tragedy. In the end, Payne Stewart's story serves as a reminder that true fulfillment and purpose can be found not just in success and fame, but in the relationships we cultivate and the faith we hold dear. His legacy lives on as a beacon of inspiration for those who seek to live a life of meaning and depth, grounded in faith and love. Have you RSVP'd? "Change is not something we should fear, but rather embrace as an opportunity for growth and transformation." ~ Kristianne Wargo Just as Paul's encounter with God changed the course of his life- just as Payne Stewart was changed too- you too have the opportunity to answer the call.  So, I ask you, have you RSVP'd to God's call for change in your life? Are you willing to step out in faith, like Paul did, and embrace the transformation that awaits you? The journey may not always be easy, but who waits for you is worth it. God is calling you today!

  8. 7523450 I WillIf arguments and heated discussions seem more of the norm than gentleness and kindness in marriage, how do you get from blaming your spouse and moving towards "I will?" In every relationship, especially in marriage, there comes a point where the usual bickering and misunderstandings can take a toll. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  The idea of "forever" suddenly feels heavy, and the once-bright future ahead can start to look dim. For many couples, finding themselves in a cycle of blame and frustration is not uncommon. You've got bills, responsibilities, kids, a career, pets, and the in-laws -- that's just to name a few. The pressure is real. And the thing is with us being so connected through technology, there is no mental break. Everything is always in your face, especially if you use social media. and are not just on it for entertainment. That's when the waters get murky, the comparison jumps out often, and second-guessing becomes your go-to. "Why did I even get myself into the situation?" Yet, in the midst of these challenges, there lies a simple but powerful shift that can change everything - a shift from pointing fingers to saying "I will." The K.I.S.S. ~ I will! Navigating the rough waters of a troubled marriage can be daunting, but it's essential to remember that change starts within. Look at who you are in the relationship. Instead of focusing on what your partner isn't doing, try to shift the narrative to what you can do to make things better. It's a small shift in perspective that can lead to significant transformations in a relationship. But it takes... Work Energy Effort Consistency Vulnerability Openness Gratitude Unconditional love Forgiveness Reflection Determination Empathy Humility Kindness It takes you wanting to become better than who you think you are. That means you are putting yourself in your place. You are now in timeout, as we would tell the kiddos. You have got to focus on the person you control. WARNING: Be careful who you talk to when asking for their opinions. If you have people who can't see all sides, then they are more likely to say, "There's nothing wrong with you." That naturally leads you to think you have nothing to change. And I'm here to tell you-- everyone has things that need to change! 1. BE KIND BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTH -- Practice Empathy: Before reacting to a situation, take a moment to step into your partner's shoes. Understanding where they are coming from can help you approach conflicts with a more compassionate mindset.  2. SHUT UP -- Listen Intently: One of the most common pitfalls in a struggling marriage is the breakdown of communication. Make a conscious effort to listen actively to your partner without judgment. Effective communication involves not just talking but truly hearing each other's feelings and needs. A lot of times, when our spouse is talking, we finish the sentences in our minds, which means we do not hear what is actually being said. And then you wonder who is mudding up the water? 3. BE WHO YOU ARE BECOMING -- Commit to Personal Development: Building a strong marriage requires individual growth and self-awareness. Work on becoming the best version of yourself, both for your sake and for the sake of your relationship.  By embracing the mindset of "I will," couples can take proactive steps towards rebuilding their connection and creating a more harmonious partnership. It's not about waiting for the other person to change but taking responsibility for your own actions and choices. You can only control YOU! "When you are married, it's not about doing life one way, but coming together to create a way." ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, every journey has its bumps and detours, but with a willingness to shift from blame to action, couples can navigate through the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.

  9. 7533449 Happiness Lies In Your ActionsAs parents, we often forget what it's like to be a kid. Who wants to be told what to do all the time? So, raise your kids with a smile in your heart by showing them that happiness lies in your actions. There is nothing better than being a role model for our children. The more they see, the more they imitate. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Now, that can be good or bad, depending on what they see. As parents, the way we behave and carry ourselves significantly influences the behavior and outlook of our children. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of daily life and forget that our actions speak louder than words. Instead of constantly instructing our children on how to behave, why not lead by example and show them that true happiness lies in our actions? The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead by example! So, how are you modeling the behavior you want to see in your children? 1. SMILE MORE THAN YOU COMPLAIN -- Practice Gratitude: Teach your children the importance of gratitude by expressing thankfulness in your daily life. When you show appreciation for the little things, your children will learn to do the same. For example, say "thank you" to the barista at the coffee shop, or express gratitude for a beautiful sunset during a family walk. By practicing gratitude yourself, you set a positive example for your children to follow. "Gratitude turns what we have into enough." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. BE KIND IN SPITE OF -- Practice Kindness: Show your children the power of kindness through your actions. Whether it's helping a neighbor with their groceries or volunteering at a local charity, demonstrating acts of kindness teaches children the value of compassion and empathy. Simple gestures like holding the door for someone or offering a smile to a stranger can make a big impact. By practicing kindness in your daily interactions, you inspire your children to spread love and positivity in the world. "Kindness is free; sprinkle that stuff everywhere." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. LOVE YOURSELF SO YOU CAN LOVE OTHERS -- Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care and well-being to show your children the importance of taking care of oneself. Whether it's setting aside time for a hobby you enjoy, going for a walk in nature, or practicing mindfulness, self-care is essential for overall happiness and fulfillment. When your children see how you love yourself, they learn the value of self-love and nurturing their own well-being. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so taking care of yourself benefits not only you but also your children. "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you." ~ Kristianne Wargo As parents, we have the incredible opportunity to shape our children's worldview through our actions. Take what you've got and put it into action, Show them what values are and how to act with ethics and morals. Happiness lies in your actions. Now go spread the word! "Be present. Be incredible.

  11. 7553447 Overhaul Your OverloadHow can you release the weight of the world when you aren't willing to overhaul your overload? Healthy living takes more than a plan. It's a daily lifestyle decision to live with purpose and presence intentionally. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos of everyday life, which can often lead to feelings of overload. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  From juggling work responsibilities to maintaining relationships and taking care of yourself, the demands can feel never-ending. However, to achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle, it's essential to take a step back and evaluate what changes need to be made. This process goes beyond just focusing on the number on the scale; it's about taking a holistic approach to well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ See beyond the scale! When it comes to overhauling overload, looking at the bigger picture is crucial. Here are three actionable steps to help you navigate your journey toward a healthier lifestyle: 1. THINK ABOUT YOUR WHY -- Practice Mindfulness: Take the time to tune in to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. By being present in the moment, you can better understand your triggers for stress or unhealthy habits. As mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn once said, "Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally." 2. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU? -- Prioritize Self-Care: Self-care is not selfish; it's a necessary component of maintaining overall well-being. Whether it's carving out time for a relaxing bath, engaging in physical activity you enjoy, or nourishing your body with nutritious foods, self-care plays a crucial role in combating overload. 3. WHO CAN LOVE YOU IN THE MOMENT? -- Seek Support: Don't be afraid to reach out for help when needed. Whether it's talking to a trusted friend, seeking guidance from a therapist, or joining a supportive community, surrounding yourself with a positive support system can make all the difference in managing overload. As Brené Brown wisely stated, "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." "In the journey of holistic health, true transformation begins with self-awareness and the courage to take the first step." ~ Kristianne Wargo By adopting these strategies and embracing a holistic approach to healthy living, you can begin to overhaul your overload one step at a time. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, small changes can lead to significant transformations in your overall well-being. Start today and pave the way for a healthier, happier you. "Be present. Be incredible.

  12. 7563446 You Got The Right Stuff!Life can come at us from all angles, leaving us feeling like we're walking on a tightrope without a safety net. But what happens in the present is what matters. Choose to stand on your strength because you got the right stuff! But I get it-- Life's unexpected twists and turns can leave you feeling overwhelmed, with doubt creeping in and your confidence wavering.

Yet, it's easy to forget that sometimes, especially when the weight of the world seems to be resting squarely on our shoulders. But take a moment to remind yourself - you got the right stuff! The K.I.S.S. ~ You got the right stuff! And if you are one who is questioning your abilities, then you're the one putting limits on the possibilities. Don't sell yourself short because you of your circumstances, failures, thoughts, or excuses. You get to decide the direction you want to go. Now, that doesn't mean the journey will be easy. But you won't know until you start, or continue. Every obstacle, every setback, every moment of uncertainty is an opportunity to tap into that well of inner strength and push through. You have the resilience to weather any storm, the determination to face any challenge head-on, and the courage to keep moving forward, no matter what. So, as you navigate the ups and downs of life, remember this - you are capable, you are strong, and you have the right stuff!. Embrace your power. Believe in yourself. Know that there's no limit to what you can do. Borrow the confidence from me. Take hold of the belief torch and hold tight. If it gets a little hot, that's okay.

  13. 7573445 Get The Right Things DoneMost of our time is spent worrying about what we can't do or where we failed. At what point do you change your tune, encouraging your thoughts and words to get the right things done? There's no other way to put it than to create your now! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But how do you make it all work? How do you formulate your thoughts to position your words to control your actions so you can have behaviors that, over time, give way to your habits that can change the world you touch? Why does life have to be so complicated? Why can't we dream what we want in our minds and execute with our hearts? Stumbling blocks are just a part of life. And sometimes, you just have to do what you gotta do to get the right things done. The K.I.S.S. ~ Get the right things done! In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to get caught up in negative thought patterns that hinder our progress. You have got to learn how to shift your mindset with these three powerful techniques: 1. Practice Gratitude: Start your day by listing three things you are grateful for. This simple practice can help reframe your thoughts to focus on the positive aspects of your life and goals. "Gratitude softens your failures, removing the sting of the fall and giving hope for the comeback." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Set Clear Intentions: Instead of dwelling on what you can't do, set clear intentions for what you want to achieve. You've gotta be intentional! Write down your goals and visualize yourself accomplishing them to create a pathway for success. 3. Embrace Failure as Growth: Understand that failure is a natural part of the journey towards success. Instead of seeing setbacks as obstacles, view them as opportunities for the comebacks to learn and grow stronger.  "Failure helps to build a stronger foundation!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, as Kristianne Wargo says, "Changing your mindset is the first step towards achieving your dreams and getting the right things done." But it takes one step, the first step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Get the right things done! "Be present. Be incredible.

  14. 7583444 The Strength of PatienceHow much do you fill your day with sugar just to get through it? What if you could have a sugar that feeds your heart and soul? In the meantime of life, rely on God's presence and the strength of patience. You're busy. The feelings of overwhelm drain you and cause you to become weary. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  We crave instant results, instant gratification, and instant relief from our stresses. We want everything to happen quickly, seamlessly, and effortlessly. But what if I told you that the key to finding true strength, peace, and resilience lies not in the rush to the finish line, but in the gentle art of patience? The K.I.S.S. ~ The strength of patience! Patience is not about idly sitting by, waiting for life to happen. It's about actively trusting in God's timing, surrendering our impatience and worries to Him, and embracing the journey with grace and humility. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31 This is a great reminder that true strength comes from placing our trust in God's plan, even when we can't see the road ahead. Life's challenges may test our patience, push us to our limits, and leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. But in those moments of struggle, it is our unwavering faith and patience that sustain us, lift us up, and carry us through the storm. As we navigate the twists and turns of our journey, we must remember that the path to true peace and contentment is paved with moments of waiting, trusting, and believing. So, take a deep breath, dear friend, and lean into the strength of patience. Embrace the unknown with an open heart, knowing that every delay, setback, and obstacle is a stepping stone on the path to your journey of greatness. Allow patience to be your guiding light, your source of inner peace, and your wellspring of resilience. Remember, as I always say, "In the quiet space of waiting, you find the strength to soar." May your heart be filled with faith, your spirit be lifted by hope, and your soul be anchored in patience. Trust in the journey, trust in yourself, and trust in the divine timing of it all. The strength of patience will carry you through; one step at a time leads to miles of greatness! "Be present. Be incredible.

  15. 7593443 Are You More Absent Than Present?There are many ways to show up in your marriage, two of which are physically and emotionally. How involved and invested are you emotionally in your spouse, or are you more absent than present? Unfortunately, after we get done dating and we've locked the relationship with wedding bells and rings, it seems that all the effort of investing in the marriage is tossed out the window. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Now, for a few month, and if you're lucky a few years, you might be subject to the "honeymoon" phase.  But that goes away swiftly, and then each person the in the marriage is left to fend for themselves. Doesn't that sound like a marriage you want to be in? Probably not. And that's why we need to chat. Marriage takes two and requires effort from both parties. However, if you are getting what you want, why would you try harder? This is what happens when you have one spouse who is physically present, but emotionally absent. They do everything to keep you close enough without giving you everything you need. Literally, they are stringing you along.  They think they are providing for you, working hard for the family, and all you do is complain. They flip it on you making it your fault. They don't want to give anymore, but they want more from you.  It's when a partner like that is emotionally lazy. They're done. Now, it's all up to you to hold the marriage together. That is not a marriage! If you are in this position, you can't withstand this over time. Your marriage is dying. So what do you do if you are in this situation? The K.I.S.S. ~ Confront this dynamic in your marriage! In moments of emotional absence from a spouse, taking proactive steps can help bridge the gap and nurture emotional intimacy. Here are three strategies that can be implemented: 1. Set Clear Expectations: Establishing clear expectations for emotional availability and support can provide a roadmap for both partners. Communicate openly about your needs and boundaries to foster a deeper emotional connection. 2. Avoid Over Functioning: Rather than repeatedly pleading with your spouse for emotional engagement, focus on setting boundaries and expressing your needs assertively. Over-functioning can lead to feelings of frustration and resentment. 3. Accountability: Encourage open and honest communication about feelings and experiences. Holding each other accountable for emotional responsiveness can promote understanding and connection. In the ebb and flow of marriage, emotional stability acts as a cornerstone for navigating challenges and celebrating milestones together. It is essential for partners to be attuned to each other's emotional needs, dreams, and aspirations. "Emotional stability is the catalyst that fuels the journey of two souls intertwined in love and commitment." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embracing emotional presence in marriage means prioritizing understanding, empathy, and mutual support. By fostering emotional stability, couples can cultivate a deep sense of connection, resilience, and joy in their shared journey of love and partnership. "Be present. Be incredible.

  16. 7603442 The Power of CelebrationIn a world where we have international days for chocolate chip cookies and pizza, how is it that we are not honoring our brightest lights—our children? Imagine the impact if you embraced the power of celebration for your child. This is in a manner in which they feel cherished and valued for who they are and who they are becoming, not just because they are your "child." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  As parents, we can bury ourselves in the busyness of life - juggling work, household chores, and countless responsibilities. Amidst this chaos, it's vital to pause and reflect on the importance of celebrating our children. Think about this-- What if you celebrated your child to the point that it went viral? We're all worried about getting noticed and getting one step ahead of our competition (whoever you deem as such). But we don't do anything to raise up our kids to be strong, independent individuals that will mightily impact the world they touch. We're just caught in our own CRAP of life. Yet, even when days get crazy, we still will go get those cookies or pizza just for the excuse to celebrate. What if you were to celebrate your child? The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate your child! So, how can we celebrate our children in a meaningful way? Here are three simple yet powerful ideas: 1. Notice and Acknowledge Their Efforts: Take the time to recognize your child's achievements, big or small. It could be congratulating them on finishing a challenging puzzle, scoring well on a test, or even showing kindness to a friend. By acknowledging their efforts, you are reinforcing the value of hard work and perseverance. For instance, praise your child for their creativity by saying, "I love the way you used different colors in your artwork. It shows how imaginative you are!" 2. Quality Time Together: In today's fast-paced world, spending quality time with our children is a precious gift, but we all take it for granted. Set aside dedicated moments to engage in activities that your child enjoys, whether it's playing a board game, gardening, or simply going for a walk together. This undivided attention strengthens your bond and creates lasting memories. "In a world full of distractions, choosing to be present is the greatest gift we can give our children." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Create a Positive Environment: Encourage a positive and nurturing environment at home that fosters your child's growth and self-esteem. Celebrate their uniqueness and encourage them to embrace their individuality. Teach them the value of kindness, empathy, and resilience. Empower your child to believe in themselves and their capabilities. Supporting your child in their journey of self-discovery nurtures their confidence and fuels their potential. In conclusion, celebrating our children goes beyond the superficial. It's about nurturing their souls, acknowledging their efforts, and empowering them to shine bright in this world.

  17. 7613441 Embrace the HurdlesWhen the hours of our day often lead the heart of passion to stray, we must not forget that the darkest moments come before dawn. So fear not your circumstances, but embrace the hurdles as pebbles of hope. Challenges often overshadow our aspirations and crush our dreams. Our days seem more like the dark nights where hope can't be seen as easily.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  The weight of our worries can feel heavier than the strength in our bones. It's important to remember that every struggle is a stepping stone on the journey to greatness.  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Life's challenges are not meant to break you, but to mold you into a warrior of resilience and a believer in the power of our own spirit. When the storm clouds gather above, casting shadows on your dreams, remember these wise words from the legendary Maya Angelou: "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated."  Each setback is an opportunity for a comeback, a chance to rise stronger and more determined than before. Embrace the hurdles that come your way, for they are the sparks that ignite the fire within you each and every day. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the hurdles! So, when you are experiencing moments of doubt and despair, and the road ahead seems long and arduous, take comfort in the words of the esteemed Helen Keller: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." You are not alone in your struggles; you are a beacon of light in a world that sometimes feels covered by the shadows of darkness. "In the silence of your soul lies the strength to conquer any struggle." ~ Kristianne Wargo Your inner reservoir of courage and determination knows no bounds; tap into it, draw from it, and let it guide you through even the stormiest of seas. When the weight of the world threatens to overwhelm you, stand tall and face it head-on. With each new day comes a fresh opportunity to embrace the challenges, rise above the obstacles, and greet the world with a smile that speaks volumes of your indomitable spirit. The journey may be tough, but the destination is worth every uphill battle. Remember, the brightest stars shine in the darkest skies. Let your light illuminate the path ahead, and let your heart be the compass that guides you toward a future filled with endless possibilities. Embrace the hurdles, for they are the stepping stones on the path to your greatness. "Be present. Be incredible.

  18. 7623440 The Rhythm of ComfortWhen it comes to healthy living, how much do you really want it? From traveling to life's challenges to unexplainable situations, who wants to do anything different but hang out in the rhythm of comfort?  And then you wonder why. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  You know-- the allure of comfort can be irresistibly tempting. Whether it's indulging in familiar foods, staying within our routine, or avoiding challenges that push us out of our cozy bubble, the rhythm of comfort often dictates our choices. But is this reliance on comfort hindering our pursuit of a healthier lifestyle? Because the rhythm of comfort is something that does just that-- it provides comfort when nothing else does. Why do you think you eat certain things or drink certain liquids? Most of it comes from comfort. "Comfort is like a warm blanket on a cold night—it soothes us and provides a sense of security. However, true transformation lies beyond the confines of our comfort zone." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Wrap yourself up in the blanket of change! To break free from the seductive grasp of comfort, consider these three actionable steps: 1. Embrace Change: Stepping out of your comfort zone often means embracing change, no matter how daunting it may seem. Instead of sticking to the same workout routine, challenge yourself to try a new fitness class or outdoor activity. For instance, swapping your morning jog for a pilates session can introduce a fresh element of excitement and wellness into your routine. "Change is the catalyst for growth. Embrace it, and watch yourself bloom." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Cultivate Mindful Eating Habits: Many of our food choices are driven by comfort, seeking solace in familiar flavors and textures. To break free from this cycle, practice mindful eating. Take a moment to savor each bite, paying attention to the colors, tastes, and textures of your meal. By being present during meals, you can cultivate a healthier relationship with food and make conscious choices that nourish your body. "Food is not just fuel—it's a reflection of how we care for ourselves." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Seek Support and Accountability: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be challenging, but having a support system can make all the difference. Surround yourself with friends, family, or a coach who can encourage and hold you accountable on your wellness journey. By sharing your goals and progress with others, you'll create a network of support that motivates you to strive for better. "Together, we are stronger. Lean on your tribe and let them uplift and guide you." ~ Kristianne Wargo As you navigate the delicate balance between comfort and growth, remember that transformation begins when you dare to step outside your comfort zone. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace change, cultivate mindful habits, and seek support to propel yourself towards a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. "True growth lies in the discomfort of change. Embrace it, and watch yourself thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo When you are ready to escape the rhythm of comfort, that's when you reflect the comfort of change." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  19. 7633439 Do Something RadicalJust because life throws you lemons doesn't mean you have to catch the sourness of life. Enjoy the sweetness of life when you make your own lemonade—do something radical! Maybe you're stuck in a routine or season that has you hanging out with your excuses more than the possibilities.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Just so you know-- You're not alone. That feeling of being stuck, caught in a rut, or uninspired is real for many of us.  Maybe you're wanting a change of pace. Maybe you're yearning for more excitement or want to feel your heart come alive. But here's the thing—oftentimes, we settle. We settle for mediocrity. However, I'm here to remind you that it's time to shake things up. It's time to break free from the mundane and do something radical. "Don't let the fear of the unknown keep you from exploring the possibilities." ~ Kristianne Wargo Step outside of your comfort zone. Now, you might be throwing back a little resistance because you don't want to go off the beaten path. Feeling that hesitation and apprehension is normal. Do something radical anyway! Because remember, it's often in those moments of uncertainty that we discover our greatness in the making. But you have to be willing to take that next step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Do something radical! Imagine a life where every day is an adventure, where every decision you make brings you one step closer to your dreams. That's the beauty of doing something radical – it opens up a world of possibilities that you never thought possible. Whether it's starting a new hobby, taking a spontaneous trip, or pursuing a long-held passion, embracing the unknown can lead to incredible growth and self-discovery. As renowned author Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." So what if you were to take those risks and follow your heart? Do you think it could stir up the passion and create your now that would have you smiling? Now that doesn't mean it won't come with good and bad adventures. The thing is, though, it will be an adventure. So, the next time you feel the tug of complacency creeping in or you feel stuck and uninspired, remember that you have the power to change your story. "Be the change for yourself!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Challenge yourself to do something radical, something that sets your soul on fire and lights up your spirit. Embrace the unknown, step out of your comfort zone, and feel the magic within. So go ahead, break free from the ordinary, and dare to do something radical. "Life is too short to play it safe. Take a leap of faith and soar on wings like eagles. Create your now!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Your extraordinary life starts with that next step. "Be present. Be incredible.

  20. 7643438 You Can't Stay HereIn a world where limitations often feel like roadblocks, it's easy to get caught up in what we can't do. The endless list of "you can't go there" or "you can't achieve that" can cloud your vision. But you can't stay here! Where are you right now? What are you battling in your mind? What conversations keep coming up for you that lead you to a mental war with yourself? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Are you one who is all about the next step and ready to take A.I.M. on what you know to do? Or are you hanging out with your self-doubt, your lack of confidence and enthusiasm because of what the rumble under others' breaths is telling you? Getting real with yourself is the first step to understanding where the hangup is. What if you shift your perspective and focus on what you can do right now? What if you embrace the power of choice and take a step forward, no matter how small it may seem? If you find yourself grappling with uncertainty and doubt about your current circumstances, it's time to reevaluate your mindset. What are you telling yourself? Instead of dwelling on what you can't do, let's explore what you can do to pave a new path. The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what you can now! Create your now!! But it's unfortunate that our dreams and goals get tossed aside to make room for complaints and the continuity of excuses. Where did your age play a part in your success?  Where did your money make you more successful? When did an excuse propel you forward? The list goes on and on. You get to make a choice to move forward. You get to rise up to the challenge that you are made for more. So what's stopping you? Once you can grab ahold of that excuse, then you can take the next step. 1. Embrace Gratitude: Take a moment to reflect on what you already have and express gratitude for the blessings in your life. By shifting your focus to what you are grateful for, you can cultivate a positive mindset that empowers you to make bold decisions. For example, instead of lamenting about your long work hours, appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow in your career. "Gratitude turns what we have into enough." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Set Clear Goals: Define your aspirations and establish tangible goals that align with your values and ambitions. Break down your goals into achievable steps and create a concrete plan to make progress towards them. For instance, if you dream of starting your own business, outline specific milestones such as researching your target market, developing a business plan, and launching a marketing strategy.  "Goals give direction to our dreams." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Cultivate a Support System: Surround yourself with individuals who uplift, inspire, and encourage you to pursue your dreams. Seek guidance from mentors, friends, or family members who believe in your potential and provide constructive feedback. Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passions and can offer valuable insights. "Your circle should want to see you win. Your circle should clap the loudest when you have good news." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's essential to break free from the confines of "you can't stay here" and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. By practicing gratitude, setting clear goals, and nurturing a supportive network, you can make the conscious choice to move forward and create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. "The power to choose is within you. Choose to step into your greatness. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

  21. 7653437 Answer God's Call"Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." (Exodus 3:5)  Just as Moses, are you willing to answer God's call?  Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. (Exodus 3:6) Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  How many times have you been in the presence of God and hid your face? How many times have you heard from God what you're supposed to do, but you hesitate with every possible excuse (i.e., too old, not enough time, not enough energy, not the right person, etc.)? Excuses can lead our day in the wrong way, especially away from God. And I don't think most of us really think of it as running away from God. But if we're honest, it's just that. The story of Moses serves as a poignant reminder that God's plans transcend age and expectation. At 80 years old, Moses received a divine call to lead the Israelites out of Egypt; it's never too late to answer when God calls. For many believers, discerning God's call can be a daunting task, it can be exhausting and confusing. The busyness of everyday life can drown out the divine whispers, leaving us questioning if we are truly aligned with God's will. It is during these moments of uncertainty that we must turn to prayer, seeking clarity and guidance in our journey.  "God's call may not always make sense to us, but it is our faith and trust in Him where the journey continues forward." ~ Kristianne Wargo These words remind us that sometimes the most profound callings are the ones that challenge our assumptions and push us beyond our comfort zones. As believers, it is our duty to remain receptive to God's voice, even when the path ahead seems unclear. The K.I.S.S. ~ Answer God's call! Reflecting on your own life, when was the last time you felt called to something greater? How did you respond? Did you embrace the opportunity with open arms, or did you shrink back in fear and self-doubt? God's call is not always convenient or easily understandable, but it is up to us to have the faith and courage to answer when He speaks. Through the story of Moses, we are reminded that God's timing is perfect, and His plans for us are beyond our comprehension. Whether we are young or old, experienced or inexperienced, God can use us in remarkable ways if we are willing to trust in His will. As you navigate your own journey of faith, remember the example set by Moses. Let us be open to God's call, even when it defies our expectations. For it is in answering His call that we truly find purpose and fulfillment in our lives. Why not step out in obedience and trust God, just as Moses answered the call at 80 years old, knowing that God's plans for us are greater than we can imagine. Don't miss your burning bush. If God is willing to take a chance on you, don't you think you should take a chance on yourself? Answer God's call. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  22. 7663436 Never Accept The OddsWhen two people stand at the altar and exchange vows, the last thing on their minds is the possibility of becoming just another statistic. If you ever thought breaking up was in your cards, never accept the odds. As you know, relationships require effort, dedication, and a willingness to beat the odds. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  "It's easier to not work on something than it is to make the changes for it to work." ~ Kristianne Wargo Many couples face challenges in their marriage. Rather than accepting defeat, it's crucial to take proactive steps to strengthen the foundation of your relationship and increase its security. You can beat the odds! The K.I.S.S. ~ Beat the odds! One way to beat the odds is by actively listening to your partner. Communication is key in any relationship, and truly hearing what your spouse has to say can foster understanding and empathy. For example, setting aside dedicated time each day to have meaningful conversations can deepen your connection and prevent misunderstandings. As Kristianne Wargo notes, "Listening is more than hearing words; it's understanding the heart behind them." Another essential component of a successful marriage is prioritizing quality time together. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to let precious moments slip away. By scheduling regular date nights or engaging in shared activities, couples can reignite the spark and reinforce their bond. Simple gestures, such as preparing a surprise dinner or planning a weekend getaway, can demonstrate your commitment to nurturing the relationship. Moreover, practicing forgiveness and letting go of grudges is essential for overcoming challenges in a marriage. Holding onto past resentments can create barriers to true intimacy and prevent healing. By acknowledging mistakes, expressing remorse, and offering forgiveness, couples can move forward with a clean slate and a renewed sense of purpose. As Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "Forgiveness is not a weakness, but a strength that mends hearts and restores love." In conclusion, never accepting the odds means taking proactive steps to strengthen your relationship and build a secure foundation for the future. By actively listening, prioritizing quality time, and practicing forgiveness, couples can overcome obstacles and create a lasting, fulfilling partnership. Remember, as Kristianne Wargo reminds us, "Love is not a destination; it is a journey that requires dedication, effort, and unwavering commitment." So, the next time you feel the odds are stacked against you, choose to rewrite your story and create a love that defies statistics. "Be present. Be incredible.

  23. 7673435 Let Go Of BlameSometimes, parents can bring about the heaviness of failure when it comes to how well it's going for parenting. But if you don't allow yourself to fail, you will never see the other side, love. Let go of blame! As parents, we often find ourselves walking a fine line between supporting our children and losing ourselves in the process of raising them. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  The pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming, and when things don't go as planned, it's easy to fall into the trap of blame. But what if you shifted your perspective and embraced the idea that it's okay to fail? By letting go of blame, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and deeper connections with our children. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Failure is not the end, but the beginning of love." Embracing this mindset can help parents navigate the challenges of raising children without losing sight of themselves in the process. The K.I.S.S. ~ Let go of blame! Here are three things parents can do to support their child without losing themselves in the journey of parenting: 1. Practice Self-Care: It's essential for parents to prioritize their well-being and mental health. Taking time for self-care activities such as meditation, exercise, or hobbies can help parents recharge and show up as their best selves for their children. What if you gave the world, and specifically your family, the best of you instead of what's left of you? 2. Set Boundaries: Establishing clear boundaries with your children allows you to maintain a sense of self while still supporting them. Boundaries help create a healthy dynamic and teach children about respect and understanding. Psychologist Dr. Brené Brown emphasizes, "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." 3. Seek Support: Parenting is a journey best shared with others. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support and guidance. Connecting with other parents can provide a sense of community and validation that you're not alone in your struggles. In the words of author Brene Brown, "Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives." In conclusion, letting go of blame can be a transformative step in the journey of parenting. By embracing the ups and downs, practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking support, parents can support their children while staying true to themselves. Remember, as Kristianne Wargo says, "Failure is not the end, but the beginning of love." "Be present. Be incredible.

Fight to win! You have got to get beyond your own self. You have to get out of your own way. Don't fall into the trap of fear of moving forward, to take a chance, to jump even higher.

I played basketball in high school-- but that was in P.E. class. I was not on any team, just in the class, because it was required. Now, the only sport I really liked was ice skating, so you can imagine my lack of enthusiasm to play anything, let alone basketball. One day, the ball came at me so fast that a blink would make anyone miss. There I was, the one who had her hand not placed to receive the throw, and my finger was broken. As a musician, this was devastating. I could feel all the goals and dreams I wanted begin to slip away. But the fight came when I decided to win by navigating my way through the detour. Did you know you can play an open-hole flute with a splint on your ring finger? I made the choice to figure out how to survive the fall and fight to win! The K.I.S.S. ~ Fight to win! Are you doing what you need to do in this season of life? Are you having those tough conversations first with yourself and then with those who need to have them with you? You can keep moving forward when the walls around you are crumbling. So what are you waiting for? What is really holding you back? What can you do today to impact tomorrow? And don't give me the song and dance that says, "You're too busy or you don't have time." I've been on that train many times before. And if you choose to stay on that train, you will take all of your dreams and bury them with you when you're six feet under. But at this moment, you can make a decision that will turn the tide. You can calm the chaos in your head and focus on the next step in your heart so you can fight to win. Let's get real and raw! What really matters that deserves your attention? In other words, where are you going to fight to win? "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
