- 9613241 For Where Your Treasure IsWhere are you storing your treasures this holiday season: the packages under the tree or in your heart because you believe? "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21 As the holiday season unfolds, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of gift shopping, party planning, and endless to-do lists. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You should see my house right now. It's truly got boxes and bins all around. Trees are still going up in every room and the studio is being decorated for ore filming to do. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it's crucial to step back and remember what truly matters. After all, the joy of the holiday season lies not in the material possessions or extravagant celebrations, but in the love, gratitude, and kindness that fills our hearts; the Holy Presence, God himself. In Matthew 6:21, the Bible reminds us, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." This verse serves as a gentle nudge, urging us to shift our focus from the tangible gifts to the intangible blessings. It's a powerful reminder that the true reason for the holiday season lies in the abundance of love, compassion, and connection rather than what's neatly wrapped under the tree. Amidst the chaos of holiday preparations, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the essence of the season. Remember that the most meaningful gifts are not the ones that come with a price tag, but rather those that come from the heart. "The greatest gift we can give is our presence and our love. These gifts have the power to transcend material possessions and create lasting memories." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ For where your treasure is! This holiday season, make a conscious effort to embrace the true meaning of abundance. Instead of focusing on what the world sees, turn your attention to the overflow of love, gratitude, and joy that resides within us. Whether it's spending quality time with loved ones, volunteering for a charitable cause, or extending kindness to strangers, take every opportunity to pour out the abundance of your heart. After all, the real magic of the holiday season lies in the intangible. It's in the warm embrace of a loved one, the laughter shared over a home-cooked meal, and the genuine connections that make your heart beat faster and stronger. When you prioritize the treasures that truly matter, you begin to experience a transformation, both within yourself and in the world around you. So, this holiday season, remember to count the blessings that cannot be bought and let your heart overflow with love and gratitude. As you embark on this new year, may you find peace in the fact that the truest gifts in life cannot be wrapped, but rather are found within the depths of your hearts. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21 "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9623240 Meet Me Under the MistletoeWhat are you doing special with your spouse this season? You don't want to think of everyone else and leave them out in the cold. So, meet me under the mistletoe. Yes, as married individuals, we tend to forget the importance of planning special times and moments for the ones we vowed to spend the rest of our lives with. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Why is that? Why do we sell them short of our attention and planning? You don't have to leave your sweetheart out in the cold. In fact, just tell him, "Meet me under the mistletoe." The K.I.S.S. ~ Meet me under the mistletoe! In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to let our relationship with our spouse fall to the wayside. But this holiday season, let's make a conscious effort to prioritize our partner and create meaningful experiences together. Here are three things you can do to plan quality time with your spouse: 1. Schedule Present Nights: You can think of these as date nights. Set aside dedicated time each week solely for the two of you to reconnect and have fun. Whether it's going out for a romantic dinner, taking a leisurely walk in the park, or even staying in and watching a movie together, make it a regular occurrence. By intentionally carving out this time, you're showing your spouse that they are a priority in your life. 2. Surprise Gestures: Keep the spark alive by surprising your spouse with thoughtful gestures. It could be as simple as leaving a love note in their bag or sending a spontaneous text expressing your love and appreciation for them. Small acts of kindness and love can go a long way in nurturing your relationship. 3. Plan a Weekend Getaway: Take advantage of the holiday season by planning a weekend getaway with your spouse. Whether it's a cozy cabin in the woods or a luxurious hotel in the city, escaping the daily routine and immersing yourselves in a different environment can help reignite the romance and create lasting memories. Remember, the key to planning time with your spouse is intentionality. Don't let the pressures and distractions of life keep you from nurturing your relationship. By making your spouse a priority, you're strengthening the bond you share and creating a deeper connection that will endure. As I always say, "Love is not a noun; it's a verb. It requires action, intention, and dedication. Make the choice to love your spouse every day and create your now!" So this holiday season, meet me under the mistletoe and celebrate the love you share together. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 9633239 The Bow of TraditionsNo one likes the feeling of being overwhelmed and always feeling like they are chasing life. During this holiday season, don't try too hard. Instead, tie a few ribbons on your gifts; the bow of traditions. The holiday season is filled with joy, love, and the excitement of creating lasting memories with our families. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, it can also be a time when parents feel overwhelmed by the numerous obligations and expectations that come with the holidays. Sometimes it's so crazy that in all honesty, we just want to be alone. But if you have the blessing of a family, then make it count this holiday season and create traditions that are meaningful to your family. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace disruptive thinking! Here are three things parents can do to weave the bow of traditions without feeling bogged down. 1. Simplify: When it comes to holiday traditions, less is often more. Instead of trying to squeeze in every activity and event, take a step back and prioritize what truly matters to your family. Choose a few key traditions that align with your values and bring joy to everyone involved. By simplifying, you can create space for meaningful moments without feeling overwhelmed. "The magic of traditions lies not in their quantity, but in their quality. Choose the traditions that resonate with your family, and let them shine bright." ~ Kristianne Wargo For example, instead of aiming for a fully decked-out home, focus on a few treasured decorations that hold sentimental value. Rather than attending every holiday event, select one or two special outings that everyone looks forward to. By streamlining your holiday activities, you can savor each tradition and be fully present in the moment. 2. Recruit: Creating traditions should be a collaborative effort that involves all family members. Encourage open dialogue and brainstorming sessions where each person can contribute their ideas and wishes. This not only ensures that everyone feels included and invested in the traditions but also lightens the load of planning and organizing on the parents. For instance, hold a family meeting before the holiday season begins. During this meeting, each person gets a chance to suggest a tradition they would like to incorporate. From choosing a new recipe for a special holiday meal to deciding on an outdoor activity, everyone's ideas are considered and discussed. This inclusive approach not only brings the family closer but also shares the responsibility of creating traditions among all its members. 3. Tie it up with Joy: Many magical moments can be created through simple and heartfelt traditions. Let go of unrealistic expectations and tie the bow on the tradition. Focus on activities that bring genuine joy and allow for deeper connections. Remember that it's the quality of the experience that matters, not the extravagance. "Simplicity is the key that unlocks the spirit of traditions. It's in the little moments that the true magic resides." Consider incorporating small but meaningful traditions, such as reading holiday stories by the fireplace, having a movie night with beloved classic films, or engaging in acts of kindness as a family. These simple gestures can create timeless memories and strengthen the bonds within your family. "The Bow of Traditions" by Kristianne Wargo In a world of constant motion and change, Where time slips by, our memories rearranged, There lies a gift that ties our hearts together, A bow of traditions we'll cherish forever. With each passing year, the tapestry grows, Weaving threads of love, every story it knows, From bedtime tales whispered in the night, To shared laughter around the fire's warm light. The bow of traditions, a treasure unique, A bond that strengthens, never to weaken, Through seasons and holidays, it's our guide, Creating moments we'll forever keep inside. From holiday baking, flour in the air, To giving back, showing others we care, Simplifying, prioritizing what truly matters, With family, these traditions our hearts flatter. As I once wisely proclaimed, "In the traditions we share, deep love is ingrained." For it's not the grandness, but in the simple things, That the bow of traditions true happiness brings. So let us gather, hand in hand, Creating memories that forever will expand, With each new chapter written in our story, The bow of traditions, an everlasting glory. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 9643238 Embrace Your RadianceDuring this holiday season, don't get tripped up over all the sparkle and shine of the world. Look instead to who God is creating you to be. Let your light shine with a radiance that only you have to share. Each of us was created to shine. So in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to lose sight of our true purpose – to embrace our unique radiance and share it with the world. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co We often find ourselves getting caught up in comparing our lives to others', feeling inadequate and overshadowed by the glitz and glamour around us. But it's important to remember that you were not meant to blend in; you were created to stand out. "Your radiance is not meant to be hidden, but rather to be shared with the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to let go of the insecurities that hold us back and embrace the beauty and brilliance that shines deep within our souls. Radiance is not about physical appearance or material possessions; it's a state of being that emanates from within. It's about embracing your true self, nurturing your passions, and sharing your authentic gifts with others. When you let your light shine, you inspire those around you to do the same, creating a ripple effect of positivity and empowerment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace your radiance! Take some time to reflect on your unique strengths, values, and passions. What makes you feel alive? What brings you joy? Embrace these aspects of yourself and let them guide your actions. And as things get a little crazy and chaotic, pause to appreciate the blessings in your life. Gratitude has a way of shifting our perspective and illuminating the beauty that surrounds us. So, let it shift you as you embrace your radiance. Let your imperfections and flaws be the diamonds in the rough that give you the extra sass that makes you uniquely beautiful. It's these imperfections that add to your radiance and make you relatable to others. Seek to inspire to raise up those around you. This will create a circle of love and encouragement that fuels your radiance. As you navigate the holiday season, remember that your radiance is not dependent on the external factors of the world. It's a gift that resides within you, waiting to be shared with others. Embrace your uniqueness, allow your light to shine brightly, and watch as you create a ripple effect of love and inspiration. May this holiday season be a time of self-discovery, self-love, and self-expression. Embrace your radiance, my friend, and let it illuminate the world around you. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9653237 Is Your Body the Grinch that Stole Christmas?Is your body the Grinch that stole Christmas? Bad habits can lead us to unconventional decisions that cause us to react instead of respond. Don't let your health be a gift that is stolen this season. The holiday season is a time of joy, gratitude, and celebration. It's also a time of indulgence, with tempting treats and festive feasts at every turn. For those who strive to live a healthy lifestyle, this can present a real challenge. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Are you the kind of person who claims to prioritize your health, but finds yourself succumbing to unhealthy habits during the holiday season? If so, it's time to take a closer look at your choices and make a change. Don't let your body be the Grinch that steals your well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't let your body be the Grinch that steals your well-being! This article will provide three actionable steps you can take this holiday season to spearhead your healthy living lifestyle. 1. Plan Ahead: It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, leaving little time for self-care. To avoid falling into the trap of unhealthy habits, take the time to plan ahead. Schedule your workouts like you would any other appointment. Pencil them into your calendar and treat them as non-negotiable. By prioritizing your physical activity, you'll be less likely to skip it in favor of other obligations. Additionally, plan your meals and snacks in advance. Have healthy options readily available to avoid mindless eating and overindulgence. 2. Know What You Eat: The holiday season is synonymous with delicious and decadent food. While it's certainly okay to enjoy your favorite treats in moderation, practicing mindful eating can help you stay on track. And that doesn't just mean moderation. Before reaching for a snack or diving into a meal, take a moment to check in with your body. Ask yourself if you're hungry or if you're eating out of habit or boredom. Try to savor each bite, appreciating the flavors and textures. Eating slowly and mindfully can help you recognize when you're satisfied, preventing overeating. "When we approach our food choices with mindfulness, we tap into the power of our bodies to guide us towards nourishment and balance." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Stay Active as a Family: The holiday season is the perfect time to bond with loved ones. Instead of spending your days lounging on the couch, make physical activity a family affair. Bundle up and go for a brisk walk or play a friendly game of touch football. Engage in physical activities together to not only promote overall health but also strengthen the bonds between family members. It's a win-win situation that allows you to enjoy the season while staying true to your healthy living goals. Don't let your body become the Grinch that steals your joy and vitality. Make conscious decisions that align with your goals and values, and let your health and well-being be the shining star of this festive season. "Living a healthy lifestyle is not about perfection; it's about progress. Every small step forward counts towards a lifetime of wellness." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9663236 Light the Lights in Your LifeLife can come at you so fast that you don't know which direction you're headed. But as the celebrations begin, don't forget to light the lights in your life. Life can often feel like a whirlwind, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of which direction we're headed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co As the holiday season approaches and the hustle and bustle of festivities begin, it's essential to take a step back and remember to light the lights in your life. In this fast-paced world, we can easily get caught up in the chaos, striving for perfection in every aspect of our lives. We rush from one commitment to another, constantly ticking off items on our never-ending to-do lists. But amidst all the busyness, it's important to pause and reflect on what truly matters. "Life is not about how fast we race through it, but how much light we bring into each moment," says Kristianne Wargo, a believer in finding joy in life's simple pleasures. "When we take a moment to appreciate the small things and focus on the positive, we can transform our experience, no matter how chaotic it may be." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's easy to get wrapped up in the materialistic aspects of the holiday season, striving for the perfect decorations, the most impressive gifts, and the grandest parties. But true joy cannot be found in the external trappings; it lies within the connections you forge with your loved ones and the warmth you bring to your heart. The K.I.S.S. ~ Light the lights in your life! So in the midst of chaos, take a moment to tune in to your thoughts and feelings. Let your presence be the sparkle in your every day so you can enjoy the simple blessings and pleasures before you. Whether it's the smell of freshly baked cookies or the sound of laughter shared with family, it's these moments that help you find peace amidst the chaos. Light the lights in your life. Let the sparkle of your heartbeat be the gratitude that soothes your chaotic spirit. Calm down. Whether we want to admit it or not, this too shall pass. And with the gratefulness of what's before you, then the stress melts away. Who doesn't need a little stress relief? Light the lights in your life. Now as the hours pass and the clock strikes midnight, don't be the one left hanging out in the cold by yourself. Take care of your heart this season. Give yourself that little pick-me-up chat every moment you need it. How else do you create your now? "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Turn on your sparkle.

- 9673235 Unwrap Your Happiness'Tis the season of giving, and it comes with the quest for that one perfect gift. But when someone outdoes your efforts, your gift becomes the trigger of comparison. This season, unwrap your happiness. You want to get that unique, special gift, so you spend hours scouring the internet, seeking the gift that no one else would think of, only to be met with disappointment when your efforts fail to get the reaction you want. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co This disappointment often triggers a spiral of emotions that can consume you throughout the holiday season. Then, you find yourself comparing your gift-giving abilities to others and feeling frustrated with your perceived failures. But this year, let's break free from the shackles of comparison and embrace a Christmas filled with love and joy. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break free from the shackles of comparison! Here is what it looks like to escape the comparison trap and foster a mindset of gratitude and appreciation before the exchange of gifts. 1. Realign your focus: Instead of fixating on finding the perfect gift, shift your attention to the true essence of the holiday season – spending quality time with loved ones. Remind yourself that the joy of Christmas lies not in material possessions but in the connections and memories we create with those we cherish. 2. Embrace authenticity: Recognize that every person and relationship is unique. Instead of attempting to outdo others with extravagant gifts, embrace the power of thoughtful gestures that are personalized and meaningful. By focusing on what truly resonates with the recipient, you can create a genuine and heartfelt connection that goes beyond material possessions. 3. Cultivate gratitude: Before the exchange of gifts, take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life. Count your own achievements, cherish the love you have received, and appreciate the effort others have put into their gifts. Gratitude fills our hearts with joy and contentment, providing a shield against comparison and fostering a mindset of abundance. "Comparison is the thief of joy." ~ Theodore Roosevelt Let this be the mantra guiding your holiday season. Take a step back, breathe, and remember that the joy we seek doesn't lie in the perfect gift, but in the love and connection we share with our loved ones. So, this Christmas, release yourself from the never-ending spiral of comparison and frustration. Instead, embrace a mindset of love and joy, focusing on the precious moments and the abundance of blessings surrounding you. Remember, the gift of love and presence is always more valuable than any material possession. Embrace this holiday season with an open heart, and watch as love and joy fill your life. "Be present.

- 9683234 Rekindle the Spirit of ChristmasThis season, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us look beyond the tinsel and presents, and instead seek to see what God saw before the arrival of our Savior. Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas. It is in the spirit of Christmas that we find the true essence of joy, love, and redemption. By delving into the biblical narrative of Jesus' birth, we have the opportunity to rekindle the flame of wonder and awe that comes with understanding God's plan for our lives. Through His Word, we can find guidance on how to make this Christmas truly meaningful. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the book of Luke, Chapter 2, we are transported back in time to witness the extraordinary events leading up to the birth of Jesus. We encounter Mary, a young woman chosen by God to bear His Son, and Joseph, a humble carpenter who faithfully obeys God's instructions. As the couple embarks on their journey to Bethlehem, we see their unwavering faith and trust in God's plan unfold. Luke 2:10-11 declares, "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.'" The Christmas story is filled with ordinary people touched by the extraordinary hand of God. From the lowly shepherds who were visited by a host of angels proclaiming the birth of the Messiah (Luke 2:8-14) to the wise men who followed the star and brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:1-11), we witness individuals who were able to see what God saw before Jesus was born. They recognized the significance of this miraculous event and allowed it to transform their lives. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas! In order to glimpse what God saw before Jesus was born this season in our lives, we must approach Christmas with open hearts and minds. We can start by reflecting on the true meaning of Christ's birth – the gift of salvation and the immeasurable love of our Heavenly Father. By immersing ourselves in the Scriptures and meditating on passages such as Isaiah 9:6, which says, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," we can better comprehend the magnitude of God's plan and His purpose for sending His Son into the world. This season, let us rekindle the Spirit of Christmas by embodying the qualities that defined Jesus' ministry: love, compassion, forgiveness, and selflessness. "Christmas is not just a day, it's a state of the heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let our actions and words reflect the true spirit of the season and spread the message of hope and redemption to those around us. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, may we see beyond the earthly trappings and find joy in the presence of the One who came to save us. By rekindling the flame of wonder and awe that comes with understanding God's plan for our lives, we can experience the true spirit of Christmas and draw closer to the profound love and grace of our Savior. This season, let us allow the story of His birth to transform our lives and bring light, hope, and peace to the world around us. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9693233 Follow the SignsAre you so concerned this holiday season about being right or effective? In a strong marriage, effectiveness is where love resides. Follow the signs. Have you ever had a feeling that something is not quite right in your marriage, but you just can't put your finger on it? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Many spouses have experienced this dilemma, where they sense that there is an underlying issue, but struggle to identify what it is. If you can relate to this, then it's time to take a closer look at the signs that may be unveiling themselves during this holiday season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Follow the signs! In a strong and thriving marriage, the key lies in being effective, rather than being right. As Kristianne Wargo wisely says, "Effectiveness is where love resides." So, instead of fixating on who is right or wrong, focus on taking the necessary steps to address the signs that are revealing themselves that will potentially strengthen your marriage. 1. Pay attention to subtle changes During the holiday season, it's common for routines and dynamics to shift. Take notice of any subtle changes in your spouse's behavior, mood, or communication patterns. Are they more withdrawn than usual, or perhaps more irritable? Are they avoiding certain conversations or becoming defensive? These small shifts can often be indicative of underlying issues. By observing and acknowledging these changes, you are taking the first step toward understanding what may be going on beneath the surface. 2. Engage in open and honest communication Communication is the foundation of any successful marriage. If you sense that something is not right, it is crucial to engage in open and honest conversations with your spouse. Create a safe and non-threatening environment where both of you can express your thoughts and concerns without fear of judgment or defensiveness. By actively listening and seeking to understand each other's perspectives, you will facilitate a deeper connection and potentially unveil the signs that are hiding beneath the surface. 3. Seek professional guidance Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we need external support to navigate through challenging times in our marriage. If you find yourself continuously struggling to identify and address the signs, it may be beneficial to seek the guidance of a marriage counselor or therapist. These professionals are trained to help couples uncover and work through underlying issues, providing a safe space for both partners to express themselves and find solutions. Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of your commitment to the health and growth of your relationship. If you have a nagging feeling that something is amiss in your marriage, don't ignore it. Instead, follow the signs that this holiday season may be unveiling. Focus on being effective rather than being right, and prioritize open communication, active listening, and seeking professional guidance when needed. By taking these steps, you may be able to uncover the hidden truths within your relationship and move toward a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. Remember this from Kristianne Wargo: "Effectiveness is where love resides." "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 9703232 But Fear Not!The holiday season is often depicted as a time of joy, love, and togetherness with family and friends. However, for many of us, it can also be a period of overwhelming stress. But fear not! From juggling family obligations to dealing with financial pressures and managing expectations, the holiday season can leave us feeling drained and exhausted. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co With a little planning and a few self-care strategies, you can minimize stress before it overwhelms you. Here are three things you can do to keep calm and enjoy the holiday season: The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep calm and carry on! 1. Set Realistic Expectations One of the primary sources of stress during the holidays is the pressure we put on ourselves to create the "perfect" holiday experience. Remember, perfection is an illusion. Instead of striving for unattainable ideals, focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with loved ones. Prioritize activities and events that bring you joy and let go of the rest. Simplify your to-do list and delegate tasks to others. Remember, you don't have to do it all alone. "It's important to have realistic expectations during the holiday season. Trying to do too much can lead to stress and burnout. Focus on what truly matters and let go of the rest." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Self-Care Taking care of yourself is essential, especially during the busy holiday season. Make self-care a priority by setting aside time each day for activities that promote relaxation and well-being. Engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit, such as practicing yoga, going for a walk, reading a book, or enjoying a warm bath. Prioritize sleep and make sure to get enough rest each night. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so make sure to replenish your energy. 3. Communicate and Set Boundaries Family dynamics can add another layer of stress during the holidays. It's essential to communicate openly with your family members and set clear boundaries to avoid conflicts. Be honest about your limitations and discuss your expectations for the holiday season. This can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce tension. Learn to say "no" gracefully if an invitation or request doesn't align with what you need or can handle at the moment. Remember, it's okay to put yourself first and prioritize your well-being. You can minimize stress and create a more enjoyable and meaningful holiday season. Create your now! And that comes by setting realistic expectations, practicing self-care, and communicating openly with your loved ones. Remember, the holidays are about love and connection – don't let stress overshadow the joy! "Take care of yourself during the holiday season. In doing so, you can better care for others and create lasting memories." -Kristianne Wargo The holiday season can be the most wonderful time of the year, filled with love and happiness. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can navigate family dynamics and stress with grace and ease, allowing you to truly savor the joys of the season. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9713231 Inspire Yourself to Inspire OthersWe tend to put pressure on others to make us feel a certain way. What if you were to get up on the right side of the bed and decide to feel the way you want? Inspire yourself to inspire others. In this fast-paced world where we often seek external validation and inspiration from others, we often forget that it is within ourselves where true motivation lies. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Imagine waking up every morning on the right side of the bed, empowered to feel the way you want to feel, and in turn, becoming a source of inspiration for others. It's time to break free from the cycle of relying on others to make you feel a certain way and instead, take charge of your own inspiration. As you know, life is full of ups and downs, but it doesn't have to feel like we are always stuck in a deep ditch. We have the power to shape our own reality and create the life we desire. "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's not about waiting for someone else to light that fire within us; rather, it's about taking A.I.M. and becoming the source of inspiration that others seek. Inspiration begins in the mind and starts with a mindset shift. When you change your perspective and choose to focus on the positive aspects of life, you naturally radiate that positivity to those around you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Inspire yourself to inspire others! It's a ripple effect, where the energy you put out into the world has the power to influence others in profound ways. When you take responsibility for your own inspiration, you become more mindful of your thoughts and actions, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Discovering what truly inspires you is key to unlocking your potential. It could be as simple as pursuing a hobby, seeking personal growth through self-help books, or surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who uplift and support us. Are you investing time in what lights you up? Your heart needs to be decorated, too. And when that happens, you not only fuel your own inspiration but you also become a shining example for others to follow. Remember, inspiration doesn't always have to come from external sources. In fact, some of the most powerful inspirations are self-generated. Get ready to tap into an inner well of motivation that can move mountains. Embrace your own passions and unique strengths to empower you to inspire others on a whole new level. As you embark on this journey to inspire yourself and others, keep in mind "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do. ~ Kristianne Wargo" So, rise and shine, and take charge of your own inspiration today. The world is waiting for your light to shine bright and inspire others to do the same. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9723230 Break the SilenceIt's easy to fall into a pattern of waiting for the "right" time to break free from old habits. But why wait for the new year or society's approval? It's time to break the silence and take charge of your well-being. "Don't let the world silence your dreams. Speak up, rise up, and create a life that nourishes your soul." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the silence! The one thing many of us forget is that you have a choice to make the decision that is right for you. 1. Dare to Be Different: Society often conditions us to conform and follow accepted norms. But breaking the silence means daring to be different and embracing a unique path tailored to your personal well-being. Whether it's adopting a new exercise routine, exploring a plant-based diet, or practicing mindfulness techniques, be open to unconventional approaches that resonate with your true self. Remember, it's your journey, and you have the power to pave your own way. 2. Embrace Imperfection: Waiting for the stars to align or for everything to be perfect can hinder progress and keep you stagnant. Embracing imperfection means not waiting for everything to be optimal before taking the first step toward a healthier lifestyle. Start today, right where you are, and make small but consistent changes. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Don't let the fear of failure or judgment hold you back from creating the life you desire. 3. Surround Yourself with Support: Breaking the silence can be challenging, and it's crucial to surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages and uplifts you. Seek out like-minded individuals who share your passion for healthy living and connect with them through online communities, local groups, or fitness classes. Together, you can foster an environment of growth, inspire each other, and create a powerful network of support that will fuel your progress. Embrace the beauty of breaking the silence and starting anew in unconventional times. The time for healthy living is now. As Kristianne Wargo rightly says, "Your voice matters. Your choices matter. Break the silence and create your now; a day in your life that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit." "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9733229 Unleash the Magic WithinWith Christmas on the horizon, there is a unique opportunity for us to tap into our creative spirit, connect with loved ones, and embrace the joy that surrounds us. Unleash the magic within. In a world filled with bustling schedules and endless to-do lists, the close of Thanksgiving signals the start of a new season – the Christmas season filled with hope, love, and joy. As the pressure to prepare for this magical time of year sweeps over us, it is essential to take a step back and reflect on the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It is a time when communities come alive with shimmering lights, heartwarming melodies, and the laughter of children filled with wonder. This season reveals the magic that dwells within each of us, waiting to be set free. It is with great pleasure that I share with you, dear readers, a gentle reminder of the transformative power that lies within the Christmas season. As we navigate through the jingling bells and bustling holiday crowds, let us not lose sight of the hope and inspiration that the holidays bring. "Christmas is not just a season; it's a state of mind that can last all year long. The preparation for what's to come." ~ Kristianne Wargo These words carry a profound truth. The spirit of Christmas encourages us to open our hearts, express gratitude, and cultivate a sense of wonder that extends far beyond the holiday season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unleash the magic within! Imagine a world where acts of kindness are not reserved only for the month of December but are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Picture a society that embraces empathy, love, and compassion year-round, focusing on the magic found in each and every moment. During this busy season, take a moment to connect with what truly matters. It's the joy of a shared meal with family and friends, the warmth of embraces and laughter, and the generosity that comes from giving without expectation. Take comfort in the fact that the true essence of Christmas can never be found in material possessions but rather in the intangible gifts of love, peace, and togetherness. As the season unfolds, indulge in the excitement of decorating homes with twinkling lights, baking delicious treats, and creating cherished memories. Aim to spread joy to those who may be grieving, lonely, or in need of a simple act of kindness. By giving a small piece of yourself to others, you open up a space within your heart where the true magic of Christmas dwells. In the chaos that often accompanies this season, it is essential to remember that you have the power to create the Christmas you desire. Embrace the challenges and uncertainties with grace, knowing that they only serve to make the triumphs and moments of serendipity even more extraordinary. It is my sincerest wish that this Christmas, you find yourself intertwined in the enchantment and allure that the season brings. Embrace the spirit of hope, love, and joy that lies within you and, in turn, inspire those around you to do the same. May this Christmas season be a reminder of the endless possibilities that life holds, and may the magic of the holidays ignite a fire within you that burns brightly throughout the year.

- 9743228 The Power of PatternsPatterns are great for decorating and organizing. But what about how it applies to your mindset and leadership? When you understand the power of patterns, your life will be transformed. Patterns go far beyond aesthetics, permeating every aspect of our lives. From our daily routines to our thoughts and behaviors, patterns shape who we are and how we lead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Think about how you started your morning. Think about how you went about cooking for Thanksgiving, whether it was the entire meal or a side or two. You had a pattern, a rhythm that helped you remember what you needed to do and how you preceded in the moment. When you unlock the power of patterns, you unlock the key to personal transformation and effective leadership. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unlock the power of patterns by seeing what you didn't know before! Because how much are you paying attention to your patterns, good or bad? Most of the time, we just go through the motions because it's faster and quicker. We don't have to overthink which can lead to overwhelm. But you can see your patterns. 1. Mindful Observation: The first step to understanding and recognizing patterns in your life is through mindful observation. Take a step back and become aware of your thought patterns, emotions, and actions. Are there specific triggers that consistently lead to certain outcomes? By observing yourself without judgment, you can identify recurring patterns that either serve you or hold you back. 2. Reflect and Analyze: Once you become aware of patterns, it's crucial to reflect and analyze them. Look for common themes and connections between different areas of your life. Are there recurring issues or challenges that surface in relationships, work, or personal growth? By examining these patterns, you can gain insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and areas where change is needed. 3. Seek Patterns in Others: Understanding and recognizing patterns in your own life is powerful, but it doesn't stop there. Expand your awareness of the patterns in others. By observing and understanding the patterns in your team members, colleagues, or loved ones, you can better relate to them, provide support, and tap into collective strengths. This empathy and understanding will enhance your leadership and foster stronger relationships. "Patterns are the breadcrumbs guiding us towards self-discovery and growth." ~ Kristianne Wargo By understanding and recognizing patterns within yourself and others, you embark on a journey of self-awareness, personal growth, and effective leadership. So embrace the power of patterns, and let them transform your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9753227 By Prayer and Petition"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 When we are overwhelmed and struggling silently, cultivating gratitude can help us reframe our perspective. Gratitude has the power to shift our focus from what we lack to the blessings that surround us. It is in these moments that we find renewal. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Philippians 4:6 begins with the instruction to "be anxious about nothing." But what does it mean to present our "requests to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving"? Prayer: By engaging in prayer, we take the time to communicate with God in an intimate and personal way. It is through prayer that we express our hopes, fears, worries, and desires. It serves as a channel to connect with God, seeking guidance, strength, and peace. Petition: Petitioning God involves laying our specific requests and concerns before Him. It is the act of earnestly seeking His intervention and supplicating for His will to be done in our lives. In our moments of struggle and weariness, we can find comfort in the assurance that God hears our petitions and answers them according to His perfect wisdom. The K.I.S.S. ~ By prayer and petition! Remember, you are not alone in this journey. The Bible teaches us in Psalm 23:1-3, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." Just as a shepherd takes care of his flock, God is always there to guide you, renew your spirit, and restore your weary soul. But in every situation, by prayer and petition. Discovering Peace: The Power of Gratitude Our passage then instructs us to present our requests "with thanksgiving." Gratitude is a transformative attitude that helps shift our focus from our problems and anxieties to the blessings and goodness that surround us. 1. Reframing our Perspective: Gratitude enables us to see beyond our circumstances, reminding us of the countless reasons to be thankful. It changes our perspective and helps us find hope even in the midst of challenges. 2. Cultivating a Peaceful Mindset: A heart filled with gratitude is a heart at peace. It creates space for tranquility to enter our lives, providing a source of comfort and renewal. As we acknowledge and appreciate the blessings we have, the peace of God transcends our understanding and guards our hearts and minds. 3. Strengthening Our Faith: Gratitude deepens our connection with God, fostering a sense of trust and dependency on Him. By recognizing His goodness and provision, we develop unwavering faith, knowing that He will continue to guide and support us through every trial and tribulation. Remember the words of the apostle Paul, "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May this peace be with you always. Allow yourself the time and space to rest, reflect, and reimagine what is truly important. See your life with the lenses from Heaven. Know that you are strong, loved, and capable of embracing the peace that surpasses all understanding. "Be present. Be incredible.

Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if you were to apply that same fervor and dedication to your marriage? Would it result in a better, more fulfilling relationship? If you put in as much time into your marriage as you do to shopping Black Friday deals, imagine how much farther you could be as a couple? Spend your money and your time wisely on what really matters...Your marriage! The K.I.S.S. ~ Spend your money and your time wisely! Let's delve into what a spouse can do to have a marriage that surpasses even the most sought-after Black Friday specials. 1. Prioritize Communication: In the midst of the chaos that a Black Friday sale brings, communication becomes crucial. Couples need to communicate effectively and clearly, just like bargain hunters strategize their shopping spree. Open lines of communication in a marriage create a strong foundation for understanding, empathy, and compromise. Taking the time to listen and express your thoughts and feelings can make a tremendous difference in resolving conflicts, improving intimacy, and strengthening the overall connection between spouses. "Communication is the lifeline of any relationship. It allows both partners to understand, support, and grow together." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Embrace Gratitude: In the frenzy of searching for the best deal, it's easy to lose sight of what we already have. Similarly, in marriage, it's essential to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Often, we tend to focus on what we lack or what's not working, becoming blind to the many blessings we share with our partners. Taking a moment each day to acknowledge and express gratitude for our spouse can create a positive shift in the relationship. It helps us appreciate their efforts, kindness, and love, fostering a deeper sense of connection and satisfaction. "Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more blessings into your relationship. By focusing on the positives and expressing appreciation for your spouse, you create an environment of love and harmony." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Invest in Quality Time: Just as shoppers meticulously plan their Black Friday strategy to secure the best deals, couples need to invest time and effort into their marriage. Quality time is priceless. It allows couples to nurture their bond, create memories, and strengthen their emotional connection. Making a deliberate choice to spend uninterrupted, meaningful time together cultivates intimacy and reminds us why we fell in love in the first place. Whether it's going on regular date nights, engaging in shared hobbies, or simply having heartfelt conversations, dedicating time to your marriage will pay dividends that no material possession can match. "Investing time in your marriage is like investing in your future. The moments you share today will shape the foundation of tomorrow, which then becomes today. Presence counts more than presents." ~ Kristianne Wargo Marriage is not a fleeting Black Friday deal; it's a lifelong commitment. By prioritizing communication, embracing gratitude, and investing quality time, you can create a marriage that exceeds any special discount. Remember, the value of a loving and supportive partnership far surpasses the temporary fulfillment that a sale can bring. So, let's approach our marriages with the same passion, determination, and appreciation we reserve for Black Friday. The rewards will be immeasurable, and your marriage will thrive beyond your wildest dreams! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 9773225 The Gravity of GratitudeRaising kids is beyond challenging. There are so many decisions we make every day for the betterment of our children. But very rarely do we truly understand the gravity of gratitude. All the decisions and sacrifices often leave us feeling worn out and overwhelmed. In the midst of the chaos, it's easy to forget the importance of gratitude. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Gratitude is a powerful tool that can help you navigate the ups and downs of parenthood with grace and appreciation. What season are you in? If you want to appreciate where you are in the season you're in with your kiddos, hone in on gratitude. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hone in on gratitude! There is something special about gratitude. It truly softens your heart to see what is possible amidst what is challenging. 1. Pause and Reflect: In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's crucial to take a step back and reflect on the blessings of parenthood. While it's natural to focus on the challenges, reminding ourselves of the little moments that fill our hearts with joy can shift our perspective. "Take a few minutes each day to reflect on the unique qualities and milestones your children possess. Recognize the privilege you have been given to shape their lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Find Joy in the Journey: Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. It's important to embrace the journey and find joy in every stage – from sleepless nights with newborns to the rebellious teenage years. Rejoice in the discoveries, laughter, and growth that occur along the way. "The moment you realize that each phase is temporary, you start appreciating the journey as a whole." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice Self-Compassion: Parenthood often demands much from us physically, emotionally, and mentally. It's important to prioritize self-care and show ourselves the same compassion we extend to our children. Acknowledge that it's okay to have challenging moments or feel overwhelmed. "Recognize the efforts you are putting in as a parent. Treat yourself with kindness and forgiveness when things don't go as planned. You are doing the most important job in the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo Gratitude has the power to transform the way we perceive parenthood, allowing us to appreciate the smallest of victories amidst the chaos. "Gratitude is like a magnifying glass; it enlarges what is truly precious and helps us navigate the challenging times with grace." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing gratitude, you can cultivate a joyful perspective that will benefit not only your children but yourself as well. Remember, being a parent is a privilege and an honor, and it is up to you to seize every opportunity to be grateful for the precious gift of your children. Let gratitude be your guiding light as you navigate the beautiful and challenging path of parenthood. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9793223 Celebrate Thanksgiving Without Sacrificing Healthy LivingWith all the sweet and savory dishes to be served, how do you stay on track with healthy living? As the feast poses a challenge, indulge in what gives life. Celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing healthy living. The good news is that you don't have to abandon your wellness goals to enjoy the festivities. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co By making a few mindful choices, you can have a satisfying and guilt-free Thanksgiving experience. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make mindful choices and decisions that serve you well! 1. Prioritize Portion Control: When it comes to Thanksgiving, it's easy to get carried away with heaping servings on our plates. However, practicing portion control can be a game-changer in staying mindful of our calorie intake. Be aware of the size of the portions you consume, and opt for smaller plates to create an illusion of a full plate without overloading on food. Remember, it's about savoring the flavors, not devouring everything on the table. "Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to enjoy delicious food without going overboard. Mindful eating and portion control are key to savoring the flavors and maintaining a healthy balance." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Focus on Healthy Swaps: Thanksgiving classics can be heavy in calories and unhealthy ingredients, but that doesn't mean you have to give them up entirely. Look for opportunities to make healthy swaps in your traditional recipes. For example, rather than using white flour, opt for whole wheat flour in your bread or stuffing. Choose leaner meats or explore plant-based alternatives as the centerpiece of your meal. By making conscious choices, you can create a spread that is both delicious and nourishing. 3. Don't Forget Your Greens: While indulging in turkey, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes, don't forget to include vegetables in your Thanksgiving feast. Green vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, green beans, or kale, are packed with essential nutrients and fiber that can help balance out the heavier dishes. Make sure to include a vibrant, colorful salad as a side dish to add freshness and boost your vitamin intake. "Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate and enjoy a variety of flavors on your plate. Make sure to include a generous serving of nutrient-rich greens to ensure a well-rounded and balanced meal." ~ Kristianne Wargo By incorporating these three strategies into your Thanksgiving celebrations, you can enjoy the festivities guilt-free while still staying true to your healthy lifestyle. Remember, it's all about moderation, mindful choices, and finding a balance that works for you. A Thanksgiving celebration that emphasizes portion control, healthy swaps, and incorporating abundant greens is a great way to ring in the start of the holidays. By implementing these strategies, you can relish the holiday feast without straying from your wellness goals. As you gather with loved ones this season, remember that good health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. "There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying Thanksgiving while staying on track with your wellness goals. By being mindful about our choices and making decisions that serve you well, you can make this holiday both delicious and nourishing." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9803222 Remember Why You StartedWhether it's the hustle and bustle of turkey and stuffing with twinkling lights and bulbs, let what doesn't work go and remember why you started. As we enter Thanksgiving week, it's easy to get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations and the looming end of the year. Our minds may wander to all the things we haven't accomplished or the goals left unfulfilled. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, it's important to take a step back and remember why you started. The holiday season is a time of reflection and gratitude, and it's the perfect opportunity to shift our focus from what hasn't happened to the blessings that surround us. The twinkling lights and festive décor may bring a sense of joy and excitement, but it's essential to let go of what doesn't work and instead embrace the essence of what truly matters. Every journey begins with a purpose. Whether it's a personal goal, a career ambition, or a passion project, there was a driving force that led you to start in the first place. Maybe you wanted to make a difference in the world, pursue a dream that ignites your soul, or create something meaningful for yourself and others. Whatever it may be, reconnecting with that initial spark can reignite your determination and re-energize your path. The K.I.S.S. ~ Remember why you started! Sometimes, though, life throws curveballs, and things don't go as planned. We may find ourselves facing obstacles or feeling overwhelmed. But rather than dwelling on what hasn't been accomplished, shift your perspective to the progress you've made and the lessons learned along the way. Each setback is an opportunity to grow stronger and more resilient. Remembering why you started is not about dwelling on past mistakes or regrets. It's about acknowledging the blessings before you right now. It's about being present in the moment and appreciating the journey you're on, regardless of the outcome. It's about finding fulfillment and joy in the small victories and recognizing the impact you're making, even if it may not be on the grand scale you envisioned. As you gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, take a moment to express gratitude for the path you've chosen. Inhale the aroma of the turkey and stuffing, and let it remind you of your purpose. Take a bite of the pie, and let its sweetness fuel your commitment to your dreams. Embrace the warmth of family and friends, and let their love and support be the foundation on which you build your success. "Gratitude is not just about saying 'thank you'; it's about recognizing the blessings in your life and using them as fuel to keep going and pursuing your dreams. Create your now!" ~ Kristianne Wargo So, as the holiday season unfolds, remember your why. Reflect on your journey and appreciate the blessings before you. Let go of what doesn't serve you, and keep moving forward with gratitude in your heart. Each step you take is a testament to your determination, and every day is an opportunity to create a life filled with purpose and joy. This Thanksgiving, let your reasons for starting be the guiding light that leads you toward a future of greatness. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9813221 Explode with AppreciationThe drive forward is more beneficial than looking backward when longing for greatness in your journey. Don't let what you haven't done diminish your gratitude. Explode with appreciation right where you are. The best is yet to come! In life's grand tapestry, it's easy to get caught up in the longing for greatness and obsess over what has yet to be accomplished. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, the key to unlocking the potential of your journey lies in acknowledging your present blessings while maintaining a forward-looking mindset. The willingness to embrace gratitude and explode with appreciation right where you are paves the way for remarkable growth and fulfillment. "The drive forward is more beneficial than looking backward when longing for greatness in your journey. Don't let what you haven't done diminish your gratitude. Explode with appreciation right where you are. The best is yet to come!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Explode with appreciation! Here are 3 powerful ways to explode with appreciation and propel your journey forward: 1. Cultivate Mindfulness: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget to pause and appreciate the small miracles that surround us. By cultivating mindfulness, truly saying "I am thankful for", we deepen our awareness of the present moment and open our hearts to fully experience the beauty in our surroundings. Take a few moments each day to savor the taste of your morning coffee, bask in the warmth of the sun on your skin, or simply take a deep breath and cherish the serenity of the moment. By grounding yourself in the present, you unlock a wellspring of gratitude that fuels your journey. It is the first step to your greatness every day. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Self-Reflection: Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and gratitude. Set aside dedicated time each week to reflect on your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Celebrate the progress you've made, the challenges you've overcome, and the lessons you've learned along the way. Acknowledging and appreciating your personal growth creates a positive momentum that propels you forward with renewed vigor and determination. "When you see the beauty of your blessings, you bury the burdens that haunt you every day." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Express Acts of Kindness: Gratitude finds its greatest power when shared. It becomes sticky when you practice gratitude toward others. Take the time to express acts of kindness to those around you. Whether it's a heartfelt compliment, a handwritten note of appreciation, or a selfless gesture of help, these small acts have a profound impact not only on others but on our own sense of purpose. By bringing joy to others' lives, you create a ripple effect of gratitude and kindness that enhances your journey and ignites the flame of gratitude within you. As you embark on this journey, remember that greatness lies not only in the milestones ahead but also in your ability to appreciate the present. Embrace gratitude, explode with appreciation, and keep your eyes firmly fixed on the promising horizon. With a willing mind, body, and spirit, the best is yet to come! "You can't move forward while looking backward. Instead, turn your gratitude into rocket fuel and soar through life's greatest adventures. It's a party every day!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

- 9823220 Find Strength in Your WearinessAre you feeling exhausted and worn down by the challenges of life? Do you find yourself craving inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose? Find strength in your weariness. Life's journey can often feel like an uphill battle, draining our spirits and leaving us exhausted. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31 Take comfort in these words, for they hold the promise of renewal and endurance. When you place your trust in something greater than yourself, a divine power that guides you through the darkest of times, you can find the resilience to keep moving forward. Remember, life is a journey that is meant to challenge and mold us. It is in your weariness that you grow, shedding old layers of yourself and emerging stronger and wiser. This weariness, though burdensome, is a testament to the depth of your experiences and a reminder of the incredible strength you possess within. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find strength in your weariness! "In the midst of weariness, lies the opportunity to discover your inner strength and rise above the challenges that come your way. In your weariness, lies an opportunity for growth and transformation." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace your weariness as a sign of your endurance, for it is in these moments that your character is truly tested. Allow yourself moments of rest and rejuvenation, but remember not to linger in the shadows of weariness for too long. Instead, use it as a springboard to propel yourself forward, knowing that you possess the strength to rise above any challenge that comes your way. Take a deep breath and believe in yourself. Just as the rising sun brings light to the darkest of nights, so, too, can your spirit overcome the weariness that plagues your soul. Hold onto your faith, drawing strength from the words of scripture and the support of others. Let go of doubt and fear, trusting in the divine plan that unfolds before you. Remember, the weariness you feel is but a temporary state. It is a reminder that you are human, capable of weathering storms and emerging stronger on the other side. Embrace the challenges that come your way, knowing that they are molding you into the person you are becoming. Keep your head held high, for you are a beacon of light in a world that sometimes feels overwhelmingly dark. Allow your weariness to become a catalyst for growth and renewal. Like the eagle soaring through the sky, rise above your circumstances and embrace the greatness that resides within you. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 9833219 Sacrifice is a BlessingGiving up so much for someone you love can seem like a burden at times. However, if you love someone, you should be willing to give up. Sacrifice is a blessing. In marriage, we often discover that the journey is not just about the good times and the joyous moments. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's also about learning the art of compromise, the act of selflessness, and the attitude of sacrifice. While some may view sacrifice as a burden, it can actually be a blessing that strengthens the bond between two individuals. So, how can spouses sacrifice for the sake of their marriage without losing themselves in the process? Learn to give and take. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to give and take! 1. Prioritize Personal Needs One of the most important aspects of a successful marriage is maintaining a sense of self. It's crucial for spouses to recognize their own needs and desires, even amidst the sacrifices they make. By prioritizing personal needs, couples can ensure that they continue to grow individually and bring their best selves into the relationship. This may mean setting aside time for hobbies, self-care activities, or pursuing personal goals. When individuals are fulfilled on a personal level, they can offer more to their partner and the relationship as a whole. 2. Effective Communication Sacrifices in a marriage should never be made in silence. Honest and open communication is key to ensuring that both partners understand each other's needs and concerns. By openly discussing what sacrifices are necessary for the betterment of the relationship, couples can find solutions that work for both parties. It's crucial to express one's feelings, desires, and concerns without fear of judgment or rejection. This way, sacrifices can be made willingly, and both partners will feel valued and heard. 3. Uncover Mutual Support and Compromise A marriage is ultimately a partnership built on love, trust, and understanding. It's important for spouses to support each other's dreams, goals, and aspirations, even if they require sacrifices. By becoming each other's cheerleaders and allies, couples can navigate the challenges of sacrifice more effectively. Understanding that compromise is necessary for a healthy relationship; both partners can work together to find common ground and make sacrifices that benefit the marriage as a whole. This way, sacrifices are not seen as one-sided burdens but as joint efforts to build a stronger and more fulfilling partnership. "In the attitude of sacrifice, there is a beautiful dance between love and self. The key is finding the balance that nourishes both." ~ Kristianne Wargo Sacrifice in a marriage is not a sign of weakness or burden, but rather a testament to the love that two individuals share for each other.

- 9843218 Trust Your InstinctsAs a parent, it's only natural to question yourself and wonder if you're doing everything right for your child. Dwelling on self-doubt prevents you from fully embracing your role and inhibiting your ability to trust your instincts. You are doing amazing at parenting. Remember, there is no manual because each child is so unique. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The good news is that there are ways to boost your confidence and feel more assured as a parent. The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust your instincts! 1. Reflect on Your Child's Unique Qualities You are the expert when it comes to your child. Take the time to observe and appreciate their unique qualities and strengths. Each child has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Accept and celebrate these differences rather than comparing your child to others. Recognize that your intuition is deeply connected to your understanding of your child's individuality. Embrace the fact that you know your child better than anyone else, and trust that your insights will guide you in making the best decisions for their growth and development. 2. Seek Support from Trusted Sources While trusting your instincts is crucial, it's also essential to seek guidance and support from trusted sources. Surround yourself with a network of individuals who provide encouragement, sound advice, and a non-judgmental ear. This network can include fellow parents, friends, or professionals such as pediatricians or therapists. Engaging in conversations and seeking input from others who share similar experiences can help validate your own instincts. Remember, parenting is a collective effort, and leaning on these trusted sources can provide you with the confidence boost you need to trust yourself more fully. 3. Practice Self-Care and Prioritize Your Well-being As a parent, it's easy to prioritize your child's needs above your own. However, neglecting your own well-being can lead to increased self-doubt and hesitation in parenting decisions. Make sure to carve out time for self-care, whether it be engaging in hobbies, exercise, or simply enjoying moments of solitude. Nurturing your own physical, mental, and emotional health is crucial in bolstering your confidence as a parent. When you prioritize self-care, you reinforce your belief in yourself and your instincts, enabling you to make decisions more confidently. Remember, parenting is an ongoing journey of learning and growth. There will be moments of uncertainty, and that's perfectly normal. By focusing on these three steps - reflecting on your child's unique qualities, seeking support from trusted sources, and prioritizing self-care - you can cultivate the belief in yourself that is essential in trusting your instincts as a parent. Embrace your intuition, stay true to your values, and let your parenting journey be guided by the love and care you have for your child. Trust yourself—you've already proven to be an amazing parent.
