24 JUN 2025 · Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why? Because you deserve better. You deserve more than the hand-me-down ambitions and borrowed dreams that drain your energy and silence your spark. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com So I’m here to say this loud and clear — don’t you dare dim your light. Your light is not a malfunction, a mood, or a momentary flicker. It’s a blaze. You were created to shine bright, for a purpose on purpose. The world doesn’t need another watered-down version of you trying to fit into somebody else’s mold. It demands the real, raw, and relentless you — the “you” who is growing, stretching, and evolving into who you are becoming. Who you are becoming matters just as much as who you’ve been. Too often, we define ourselves by our past, our struggles, or even our current role. But your identity is not static. It’s a dynamic story of growth, learning, and transformation. When you embrace who you are becoming, you open the door for influence and impact that comes from authenticity and fearless evolution. Think about it. The people who move the needle, who change the game, who inspire others — they’re never just selling a product or idea. They’re selling themselves fully realized. They show up as the people they are becoming, not the ones they used to be. And that vulnerability? It’s magnetic. But this takes courage. It takes belief. You have to believe that you are worthy of your dreams, your vision, and your own spotlight — no matter what noise or pressure tries to talk you out of it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't you dare dim your light! And if you didn't know, here’s why you can’t afford to dim your light:
- Because the world needs your unique influence. There’s no one else with your combination of gifts, experiences, and vision. The impact you’re meant to make depends on you showing up fully.
- Because no one else can fight your fight. Your journey, your voice, your authenticity — these are your power weapons. If you hide them, your cause loses its fiercest champion.
- Because selling yourself short steals from your future. Settling for scraps today means missing out on the abundance waiting for you when you step boldly into your purpose.
You are not here to be small, quiet, or safe. You are here to disrupt, to lead, to inspire, and to be a living legacy that makes the next generation brighter and braver. So, unless you want to live stuck in the background, tied to everyone else’s calendar and checklist, it’s time to make a decision:
Will you dim your light or will you shine through the noise? I’m betting on the latter—because deep inside, you already know the answer. Your next move? Own who you are becoming. Show up boldly. Trust that your light is needed. Make your impact by leading with authenticity, courage, and purpose. Don’t settle. Don’t pause. Don’t hide. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

23 JUN 2025 · If your brain is a noisy, cluttered mess, you won’t get far. Confusion doesn’t just cloud thinking—it demolishes action. And without action, your goals stay out of reach, buried under a pile of distracting thoughts, doubts, and what-ifs. You must learn how to quiet your mind. Let’s be real. When you don’t know exactly where you’re headed, the noise in your head hijacks your focus. Suddenly, every worry, outside opinion, or shiny distraction screams louder than your ambition. You start chasing the wrong things—or worse, you freeze. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Confusion Challenges Clarity. Clarity Kills Confusion. Imagine driving cross-country with your windshield covered in static. You think you’re moving forward until you suddenly crash into a ditch because you couldn’t see the road. That’s confusion. It’s a fog that distorts your vision so badly you can’t even tell which way is forward. Clarity is the windshield wiper. It cuts through the static. When you get crystal clear on your destination—what you want, why you want it, and what it looks like—the noise shrinks into white noise you can ignore. Why Does Noise Win? Because You're Feeding It. Here’s the kicker: The noise only dominates when you give it space. If you haven’t made the brutal decision about what you want (and what you don’t), your brain defaults to reacting to the loudest voices. Spoiler alert: These are rarely your own. When the goal is vague—“I want to be successful,” “I want to help people,” or “I want to figure it out”—your mind’s thirsty for specifics but only finds confusion. And in that vacuum, distractions rush in like vultures. Stop Trying to Multitask Your Way Out of the Chaos The worst thing you can do is try to shove every thought and idea into your mental hard drive at once. More noise equals less clarity, which equals less forward momentum. Instead, prune ruthlessly. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prune! Choose one clear objective. Define the one transformation you provide or the one problem you solve. That’s your north star. Everything else is background static. How to Silence the Noise?
- Pinpoint your destination — In one sharp sentence, answer: Who do I serve, what problem do I fix, and what transformation do I deliver? If you can’t say it, you aren’t clear enough.
- Write it down — Putting your goal on paper (or screen) traps the noise. Look at it daily. Let it be your reminder and your gatekeeper.
- Create mental boundaries — Block off distraction time. Turn off notifications. Give yourself space to focus on what matters.
- Reject shiny object syndrome — If it doesn’t align with your clear goal, ignore it—even if it looks like a “great opportunity.”
- Lean into discomfort — Silence isn’t just quiet sounds. It’s quieting your fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs. They scream the loudest when you try something new.
Clarity Accelerates You, Noise Paralyzes You No one ever blasted off toward their dream with a storm of brain noise whipping around them. The leaders who win are those who say NO to confusion and YES to clarity, even when it feels uncomfortable. They make tough calls, set boundaries, and silence the static long enough to move forward fast. So, what’s your move? Are you going to let the noise drown out your potential—or are you going to get ruthless with your clarity, silence the chaos, and go all in? Remember: If you’re not clear on where you’re going, the noise is all you’ll hear. And if that noise is in charge, you’re lost. But when you quiet your mind, you silence the noise—create your now.

22 JUN 2025 · “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6 (KJV) At first glance, this verse is bold, even audacious. It’s a statement packed with strength: when God is by your side, fear of what others think, say, or do loses its grip. Faith over fear. But what does that truly mean outside of Sunday sermons or quiet moments of prayer? What does living with “faith over fear” actually look like day-to-day? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com 1. Fear Is Real — But Faith Is Realer Fear is hardwired into us. The dread of rejection, failure, judgment, or harm can freeze the bravest souls. Fear whispers: "What if they say no? What if I lose? What if I’m not enough?" Psalm 118:6 flips that script. It’s not about ignoring fear but recognizing that something greater stands guard. Faith isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the courage to stand firm because of what you believe. It’s knowing God’s presence is infinitely more powerful than the opinions or actions of mere humans. 2. Faith Shows Up in Bold Decisions Living “faith over fear” means making choices that scare you—but you do them anyway. It could be:
- Speaking up for what’s right even when it’s unpopular.
- Launching a business or career move that feels risky.
- Setting boundaries with people who drain or diminish you.
- Saying “no” to conformity so you can say “yes” to your calling.
Fear wants to keep you stuck in silence and safety. Faith propels you forward, anchored by the promise that God is on your side. 3. Faith Gives Peace Amid Uncertainty In real life, “not fearing man” doesn’t guarantee a smooth path. You will face criticism, misunderstanding, setbacks, and even betrayal. But faith is a shield that guards against the chaos. When you internalize Psalm 118:6, you develop an unshakable peace. You stop overanalyzing every reaction or outcome because your security rests in God’s favor, not human approval. The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith over fear! 4. Faith Transforms Your Identity Fear tells you that your worth depends on the acceptance of others. Faith reminds you whose you are. Living this verse means seeing yourself as loved, supported, and empowered by the Creator. That identity becomes your rock. You’re no longer tossed by every opinion or threat because you stand in the truth of God’s unwavering presence. 5. Faith Inspires Others to Bravery When you choose faith over fear, you become a beacon for those still trapped by fear. Your courage lights a path and invites others to consider that they, too, can live boldly, knowing God is their defender. Psalm 118:6 isn’t just a promise for you; it’s an invitation to others: “Come see what it looks like to fear less and live more.” Walk It Out: Putting Faith Over Fear
- Start small: Look for moments to choose faith in everyday decisions. Say what needs saying. Take a small risk.
- Practice prayer or meditation: Remind yourself regularly that God is by your side.
- Lean into scripture: Let verses like Psalm 118:6 root you in truth when anxiety creeps in.
- Surround yourself wisely: Engage with people who encourage your faith and celebrate your boldness.
Faith Is Your Power Play Psalm 118:6 is a call to courage: The LORD is with you, so why fear what man can do? Living faith over fear is not naive optimism; it’s deliberate strength. It’s the daily choice to step forward with God as your shield, no matter what shakes your world. When you embrace that, fear loses its throne—and faith takes the lead. That’s not just biblical—it’s transformational living. "Be present. Be incredible.

21 JUN 2025 · Marriage doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and life certainly doesn’t unfold the way we expect it to. You’re dealt unfair cards, opportunities slip through your fingers, and yet — somehow — you keep insisting on having things your way. But what happened to doing life together as a couple? If you want a marriage that lasts, it’s time for a mindset shift: stop always doing what you want. Think about what you do in your marriage now. How do you make decisions? Who makes those decisions? Are they one-sided, or do both of you share your thoughts and ideas? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Why We Fall Into the “Me-First” Trap It’s natural to want to fulfill your own desires. You are an individual, after all. But marriage is a partnership — a commitment to share your journey, all the ups and downs, with someone else. When you prioritize your own wants without truly including your spouse, you’re eroding that partnership. It’s not about losing your personality or your dreams. It’s about expanding your vision to include your partner’s heart and mind alongside your own. The K.I.S.S. ~ Become couple-centered! How Do You Become Couple-Centered Instead of Self-Centered? Becoming a couple-centered spouse means you actively choose to weave your decisions, desires, and daily life with the perspective of "we” rather than “me.” It’s about respect, communication, and intentionality. Here are three practical moves any spouse can make to ensure they stop doing what they want and start including their spouse in the picture. 1. Check Yourself Before You Act — Practice Intentional Pause Before you make decisions, especially big or impactful ones, pause. Ask yourself:
- “Would my spouse agree with this?”
- “How will this affect us?”
- “Have I asked for their input?”
This pause is your gateway to shifting from reactive, self-focused action to thoughtful consideration. It interrupts the autopilot mode of “doing what I want” and opens the door to dialogue, even if just internally at first. 2. Prioritize Open and Honest Communication Couples don’t magically sync up just because they share a house. You have to communicate. This isn’t about endlessly debating or impressing your point of view. It’s about genuinely inviting your spouse to share their thoughts, feelings, and preferences—and then valuing what they say enough to let it influence your decisions. Make it a habit to check in regularly:
- “What do you think about this?”
- “How do you feel if we do it this way?”
- “I want us both to be happy — help me see your side.”
When communication moves from “telling” to “listening,” you create space for collaboration. 3. Create Shared Goals and Boundaries Marriage isn’t just about compromises made in the moment — it’s about creating a shared vision for your life together. Sit down and map out your priorities, values, and non-negotiables as a couple. What do you want your relationship to look like in five years? Ten? What are the things you both agree are important? Having these shared goals serves as a compass for decision-making and helps prevent the “me-first” mindset from derailing your journey. You’re not just living alongside each other; you’re building a life with a common purpose. Final Truth: Marriage Means You’re Not Solo Anymore Stop doing what you always want. Start doing what you both want — or at least what you agree on after you listen and compromise. Marriage isn’t about losing yourself; it’s about growing into a “we” that’s stronger, wiser, and more joyful than “me” ever could be. "Be present. Be incredible.

20 JUN 2025 · As a parent, it can feel like your entire job is to keep the peace. You want smiling kids, smooth mornings, and less grumbling behind closed doors. After all, isn’t that what a happy family looks like? But here’s the brutal truth: sometimes you have to stop making everyone happy. Because you won’t. Not your kids, not your partner, not even yourself, all the time. And that’s okay. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Why You’re Not Meant to Please Everyone The idea of a perfect family where everyone gets their way is a myth—a nice story we tell ourselves when the chaos settles for a moment. But real life? It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable sometimes. And that’s what raises kids who aren’t just surviving but thriving. What you really want are children who adapt to change, handle conflict with resilience, and realize the world doesn’t bend to their every whim. That means sometimes — many times — someone’s going to be disappointed or upset. That’s not your failure. That’s parenting. You were given the gift to parent; you get to decide how to parent well. The K.I.S.S. ~ Parent well! Parenting well comes with all sorts of challenges. You get many lows with few highs. Or do you? The way you parent well comes from how you show up, filled up with the best intentions. However, I must say that does not give a parent full rein to be a bully parent. This may or may not be you. But please hear me out. You have to be able to look at all sides of the stories you're told, and know the reality of what is happening, not the one you make up in your head. Yes, even parents tell themselves stories to make them feel like they are in the "right" in what they're doing. But if you question that, or someone who loves your children questions that, it is a good indication you should look a little closer at the situation. The main thing here is to know your intentions as a parent and ensure they are in the best interest of the child, not for your convenience. Three Ways to Maintain Peace Without Making Everyone Happy How do you keep a home that feels peaceful without turning into a constant "yes" machine? Here are three practical moves: 1. Set Non-Negotiables With Compassion
Make clear what rules and values aren’t up for debate — bedtimes, kindness, respect. Stand firm, but explain why these matter. Kids feel safer when boundaries are consistent. They might grumble, but they appreciate knowing what’s rock solid beneath their feet. Further, your child can say "no." If you teach them that they cannot, you are silencing them, telling them that they are not worthy and do not matter. This is a disservice to anyone's child. A child deserves to be respected, too. 2. Validate Feelings Without Caving
When tempers flare or tears come, acknowledge the emotions. “I see you’re upset because you wanted more screen time. That’s frustrating.” Validation doesn’t mean giving in — it means you’re listening. Feeling heard diffuses tension and builds trust, even if the answer stays “no.” Keep in mind, that doesn't mean you become a bully to your child. Be firm with love. And just because your parents did it, doesn't mean you should. Think twice! 3. Model Calm, Not Perfection
No parent is a peace-keeping superhero 24/7. When you mess up or lose patience, own it out loud. Show them how to apologize and reset. Ask for forgiveness for what you did. This teaches kids resilience and emotional intelligence far better than any “perfect” family photo ever could. Stop Chasing Universal Happiness — Aim for Harmony Instead Parenting is the hardest job on earth, no doubt. You’ll have days you feel you’re on top of it — and days you want to throw in the towel. Trying to make everyone happy is not sustainable. Living for happiness is the quickest route to burnout. But seeking harmony? Now that’s sustainable. Harmony means balance, understanding, respect, unconditional love, and growth — even when it’s uncomfortable. You don’t need to be everyone’s hero or choreographer of perfect smiles. You need to be a parent who guides with unconditional love, strength, and clarity. That’s how you build a family grounded in peace — not perfection. Your child is not property; they are a human being created in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made. So, parent well! You’ve got clarity. Now it’s time for action. Stop chasing the impossible, stop making everyone happy, and start building harmony that lasts. Your family will share more smiles. "Be present. Be incredible.

19 JUN 2025 · Life doesn’t come with a smooth, predictable path. It’s full of twists, turns, and surprises that rarely match the plans we carefully craft in our heads. You make decisions, speak words, and take action hoping for the best. But when things don’t go your way—you know what happens. Stop being mad at yourself. As you already know, who bears the brunt of the disappointment? Too often... yep, it’s you—the harshest critic in the room. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Why We Turn Anger Inward It’s natural to feel frustrated when life derails your expectations. But turning that frustration into anger at yourself is a dead end. Anger slows you down, boiling over every mistake and extending the sting of things you cannot change. Instead of propelling you forward, it chains you to regret and self-condemnation. Life is rarely fair, and that’s just the raw truth. The Real Way Forward If you want to break free from this cycle, you need to stop being mad at yourself. This doesn’t mean ignoring your mistakes or failing to learn from them—it means refusing to let anger become your default. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and yes, you will make more. But those stumbles never equate to being "not good enough." That’s a damaging myth you must reject now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop being mad at yourself! Focus on What Matters Pause and ask yourself: What truly deserves your energy? When you stand before the mirror, let your presence be calm and purposeful, not harsh or unruly. Your thoughts and words to yourself shape your mindset far more than any external circumstance. Remember: you were made for more. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Choose Your Energy Wisely Every day grants you the choice of where to invest your emotional energy. Holding onto anger toward yourself won’t build success; it only adds weight to your setbacks. Instead, channel your strength into growth, resilience, and self-compassion — who you are and who you are becoming. Get Ready Stop being mad at yourself. You’ll be far more effective, motivated, and yes—radiantly “prettier”—when there’s less mud on your face and in your mind. Life’s challenges will keep coming, but your response will determine the story you tell—and the success you build. Show up for yourself today. You’ve got this. And God's got you! "Be present.

18 JUN 2025 · Let’s be brutally real: these days, it’s next to impossible to not scroll through your feed and wish you were somewhere else, someone else, doing what they do. Comparison is a trap. It’s a dark quicksand that pulls you under—sapping your confidence, hijacking your joy, and holding you back from the healthy, fulfilled life you deserve. So here’s your wake-up call: stop comparing yourself. News flash: You are made for more. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Not to undersell yourself or settle for what you “think” you should be worth. Life is precious—a limited resource that demands you show up fully, honor your own journey, and speak your own truth. The soil of your heart deserves nurturing, not weeds of envy and doubt. But what happens when you live in the spirit of comparison? For anyone plugged into social media—Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Pinterest—this spirit doesn’t just knock, it moves in. Every scroll, every double-tap, every pause on someone’s highlight reel seeds a dangerous question: “Why am I not them?” These platforms are engineered to spotlight what you lack. It’s not a glitch; it’s their business model. When you feed on the curated perfection of others, the narrative rewires your brain to focus on your supposed shortcomings. Think about the last time you opened social media with a purpose. Most times, we just scroll—mindlessly, endlessly—feeding the machine that fuels comparison. And suddenly, hope gets replaced by "not enough." Ambition transforms into paralysis. It’s a hard pill, but one you must swallow to move forward. When it comes to healthy living, this poison is even more deadly. If your idea of wellness is modeled entirely on social media gurus, influencers, or viral “miracle” diets, you’re on shaky ground. That’s comparison, plain and simple — and it doesn’t serve your body or your mind. Your health isn’t a one-size-fits-all viral trend. It’s personal, sacred, and deserves your unique commitment. So stop! The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop comparing yourself! Quit watering the weeds of what you don’t have, and start cultivating the garden of who you really are. What you plant and fertilize will grow. Want something different? You have to do something different. That means changing the mental diet you consume every day. It means smashing the comparison cycle and planting seeds of self-trust, action, and authenticity. 3 Actions to Extinguish the Spirit of Comparison and Tune Into Your Heart 1. Practice Social Media Discipline: Own your time, don’t let it own you.
Set strict boundaries for social scrolling. Use social platforms with intention—no aimless scrolling allowed. Try scheduling 10 minutes a day max or use apps that block distracting feeds. Remember: what you consume mentally shapes your reality. 2. Create a “Self-Respect Ritual” Daily:
This could be journaling three things you actually accomplished that day, affirming your unique strengths, or setting clear, personal goals that aren’t tied to anyone else’s timeline. Make it non-negotiable. This recharges your mindset and weeds out toxic comparison noise. 3. Celebrate Your Own Progress Relentlessly:
Comparison kills momentum. Instead, track your wins, no matter how small. Progress is success—even if it looks different from someone else’s. Own your pace. Own your path. Be your own fan, not your own judge. Let me level with you: Comparison isn’t just a habit. It’s a silent addiction to distraction and dissatisfaction. If you want a better life, you have to dig deeper, plant your roots firmly, and stop feeding that hungry, destructive spirit. You’ve got this. Now it’s time to stop comparing yourself, stop looking left and right. Look forward, look inside—and go create your now. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

17 JUN 2025 · We all do it. We rush, we hustle, we plan every minute of every day—always looking backwards or forwards, never fully rooted in the now. Reflecting on where we’ve been, obsessing over where we’re going, while the present moment quietly slips away. Yet, deep down, we know: Being present is what really matters. So stop missing your life. Imagine what your life would look like if you didn't have every second of every day planned? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com Would you have more freedom? Would it drive you crazy because every second is not planned? Or do you really not care; you handle what's right in front of you constantly? Today, I want to encourage you to breathe and stop missing your life. Seriously, do something that you haven't done in a while: sit and take in all that is around you. Last night I was cooking out on the grill. The gray skies were moving in as the wind began to pick up. I knew I needed to get the steaks on if dinner was going to be at least halfway decent. You can't have fresh corn on the cob and baked potatoes without some yummy steaks! Well, in the quickness of the minutes, I chose to sit outside and watch the clouds roll in. I enjoyed watching how the smoke moved swiftly from one side of the Kamado Grill to the other. Nothing was more spectacular than experiencing change in the moment. What if you would slow down enough so you could speed up later when needed? The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop missing your life! You don't have to wait for the craziness to dissipate. In fact, if you do, then you'll say goodbye to a day before you said hello. So be brave in a magnificent way. Take a moment to appreciate all the beautiful things around you.
- Maybe it's sitting poolside or reading a book on the couch.
- Maybe it's hugging your children just because you can.
- Maybe it's enjoy a brisk walk in the humid morning.
Pause for a moment. Take it all in. Listen to the silence humming beneath the noise. Presence reveals beauty you didn’t see before. Today, instead of missing your life, show up full and ready. This is your moment to shine—not by doing more, but by simply being. Stop missing your life. It’s waiting. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

16 JUN 2025 · Do you ever feel like your attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish? In a world filled with distractions, it can be challenging to stay focused on what truly matters. But it's time to break free from the cycle of mindless scrolling and endless to-do lists. It's time to stop being a goldfish. Life moves quickly, often leaving us feeling like our attention span is as fleeting as a goldfish's - about 9 seconds. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com With technology pulling us one way and family obligations tugging us another, it's easy to get lost in a sea of distractions. The average human attention span of 8 seconds may not differ much from that of a goldfish, highlighting the need to reassess how we prioritize our focus.
While goldfish may seem forgetful creatures, studies show that they possess remarkable memory capabilities. Just as goldfish can recall specific tasks over time, we too can train our minds to prioritize what truly matters and navigate life's maze of distractions.
By recognizing the parallels between our attention spans and those of goldfish, we can appreciate the importance of intentional focus and memory in shaping our daily experiences. So, let's break free from the cycle of fleeting attention spans and embrace the power of focused intention in achieving our dreams and goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the power of focused intention! You can consider the bare basics of intentionality by setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), practicing mindfulness, and creating a distraction-free zone to focus. All of these are obvious. But I want you to go a little deeper. 1. Seek Mentorship and Accountability: Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, or a supportive community that can provide guidance, feedback, and accountability on your journey towards achieving your goals. Engaging with individuals who share your values and aspirations can offer new perspectives, motivation, and encouragement, helping you stay intentional and committed to your growth and success. 2. Gratitude and Intentions Rituals: Start and end each day with a gratitude and intentions ritual to set a positive tone and purposeful direction for your day. Expressing gratitude for what you have and setting intentions for what you wish to achieve can shift your mindset towards abundance and clarity, fostering a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in your pursuits. 3. Journaling and Reflection: Incorporate regular journaling and reflection practices into your routine to gain insights into your thoughts, emotions, and progress towards your goals. By writing down your reflections, challenges, and breakthroughs, you can identify patterns, set intentions, and deepen your self-awareness, ultimately guiding you towards intentional actions aligned with your aspirations. I want you to think about what works for you. Because what I know about you — you are not a goldfish looking at the world from the world's perspective. You have gifts and talents to share with the world you touch, your family and friends, your community, and your church. Be intentionally and attentive to who you are and who you are becoming. You are made for more. Create your now! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

15 JUN 2025 · In our journey of faith, we are constantly faced with choices that either draw us closer to God or lead us astray. The Bible teaches us to "Do not turn to the right or left; keep your foot from evil" (Proverbs 4:27), reminding us to stay on the path of righteousness and refrain from behaviors that distance us from God's loving presence. Stop going in the wrong direction. To live a life that reflects God's desires for us, we must first identify and resist temptations that lead us to sin. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the https://createyournow.com. https://createyournow.com It's essential to cultivate self-awareness and discernment, recognizing when we are being lured away from God's will. By turning to prayer, Scripture, and seeking wisdom from mentors, we can strengthen our resolve to resist sin and choose righteousness.
Living a life that pleases God entails embodying virtues such as love, kindness, compassion, and humility. True happiness, as envisioned by God, is not merely about fleeting pleasures or worldly successes, but about cultivating a heart that reflects His love and grace. It involves placing our trust in Him, surrendering our will to His, and striving to live in accordance with His teachings. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop going in the wrong direction! Practically, embodying God's values involves daily acts of love, generosity, forgiveness, and service to others. It means treating our neighbors with respect, showing compassion to those who are marginalized, and practicing humility in our interactions. By imitating the character of Christ and allowing His Spirit to work in and through us, we can become beacons of light in a world in need of hope and healing. Maybe you are in need of hope and healing. Are you finding yourself being more of a fool and looking back on what God has already forgiven you for? It's all too easy for us to get trapped in where we came from, what happened in the past, and why we didn't do what we should have. But could we have done it differently? Who knows? Well, God knows this. As Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13-14, 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14) Are you willing to turn around and go God's way? Stop going in the wrong direction. That's what God wants you to learn. Ask for forgiveness, and press on. Ultimately, aligning your will with God's involves a conscious choice to prioritize your relationship with Him above all else. It requires ongoing commitment, self-reflection, and a willingness to surrender your desires to His higher purpose. As you strive to walk in His ways and live out His values, you can experience the abundant life that He has promised and find true fulfillment in following His path of love and grace. And that, my friend, will have you going in God's direction! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
