    3402 Trust God With Everything

    3402 Trust God With Everything

    From the peaks of success to the depths of despair, surrendering all to God's divine wisdom is a lesson worth learning. As you write your story, be sure to trust God with everything. In the midst of life's chaos and tranquility, there lies a steadfast anchor - God, Himself.

    And even when the world is upside down, embracing God's guiding hand brings a profound peace that transcends understanding.
    The Book of Jeremiah speaks of God's reassuring words, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)"
    With this promise echoing through the corridors of doubt, one finds solace in relinquishing control and placing faith in God's divine timing. It is in surrendering your limited understanding that you pave the way for God's miraculous intervention.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust God with everything! In the tapestry of life, we often seek to micromanage every thread, clinging to a sense of control that is a mere illusion. However, the beauty of trusting God with everything lies in the liberation it brings.
    As Corrie ten Boom wisely said, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."
    In cultivating a heart of trust, we release the burdens of anxiety and fear, allowing God's grace to weave a masterpiece of redemption and restoration.
    The journey of faith is not always easy, for it requires a surrender of self and a relinquishment of pride.
    In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are reminded to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
    This profound truth invites us to lay down our burdens at the feet of the cross, embracing a faith that transcends human comprehension.
    As you navigate the ebbs and flows of life, remember that the key to true freedom lies when you trust God with everything.
    Whether you find yourself in the throes of adversity or the embrace of blessings, let faith be your guiding light. For in the surrender of self, you will discover a peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that can only come from entrusting your life into the hands of a loving and sovereign God.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3401 The Art of Loving Well

    3401 The Art of Loving Well

    Genuine love is not dictated by convenience, but rather by a deep, enduring connection. Be with the one that loves you consistently, not conveniently. The art of loving well. Love is often portrayed as a fairy tale, filled with grand gestures and effortless passion.
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    However, those who have experienced true love understand that love requires steadfast commitment and unwavering loyalty.
    In the pursuit of loving well, deeper, and more genuinely, individuals must embody the essence of selflessness, patience, and understanding.
    As the famous quote from 1 Corinthians 13 states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."
    These timeless words encapsulate the essence of true love, emphasizing the importance of generosity, humility, and compassion in nurturing meaningful relationships.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Love well! One of the fundamental aspects of loving well is the ability to prioritize the needs and happiness of your partner above your own. By embracing a selfless attitude, individuals can create a nurturing environment where love can flourish organically.  
    "True love is not about what you can gain, but what you can give." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Furthermore, cultivating patience in relationships is essential for fostering deeper connections and mutual understanding.
    As British poet William Wordsworth once said, "With gentle hand, touch - for there is a spirit in the woods." Patience allows individuals to navigate through challenges and conflicts with grace, leading to greater empathy and emotional intimacy.
    Lastly, genuine love thrives on authentic communication and a willingness to truly listen and understand your partner's perspective.
    American poet Maya Angelou beautifully captured this sentiment when she said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." By actively engaging in open and honest dialogues, individuals can forge a deep emotional connection built on trust and mutual respect.
    In conclusion, loving well, deeper, and more genuinely requires a conscious effort to embody selflessness, patience, and authentic communication.
    As individuals strive to cultivate these qualities in their relationships, they will undoubtedly experience the transformative power of true love, transcending mere convenience and embracing the profound joy of unwavering commitment.
    Love is not about convenience, but consistency, dedication, and a deep-rooted connection that withstands the test of time.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3400 Is NO a Bad Word?

    3400 Is NO a Bad Word?

    When it comes to parent and child relationships, one question often arises: Can a child say no to a parent? It may not be encouraged depending on how you were brought up or the influencers around you. So, is NO a bad word? Think about it. This seemingly straightforward inquiry delves deep into the realms of communication, respect, and understanding within families.
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    The concept of saying no to a parent can evoke a myriad of emotions and opinions. Traditional views may assert that children should always obey their parents, a notion deeply rooted in generations of parenting practices.
    However, as society evolves and the understanding of child psychology grows, the idea of children having a voice in their interactions with parents has gained traction.
    Respecting a child's boundaries and allowing them to express their autonomy is essential for their emotional development. Encouraging open communication and listening to a child's concerns can foster a sense of trust and respect within the parent-child relationship.
    Setting healthy boundaries teaches children that their opinions and feelings are valid, helping to build their self-esteem and confidence.
    Moreover, recognizing a child's right to say no can also serve as a valuable lesson in consent and personal agency. Teaching children to assert their boundaries early in life can empower them to navigate relationships, peer pressure, and potential risks as they grow older.
    However, the question of whether a child can say no to a parent is not without its complexities. Balancing a child's autonomy with parental authority requires a delicate approach. Parents must strike a balance between setting boundaries and allowing room for expression, guiding their children with empathy and understanding.
    Ultimately, the ability for a child to say no to a parent is a sign of a healthy, communicative relationship. It speaks to a dynamic where both parties feel heard and respected, fostering mutual understanding and emotional growth.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Explore boundaries! In order for a child to understand how NO can be used in a respectful manner, the parent needs to model it. 
    And unfortunately, that doesn't come easy, especially if you were raised that children are to be seen and not heard. 
    But then, how do they have a voice? How does their self-esteem grow if they are not seen and heard?
    Muting children for the ease of your life does not serve them well. And as a parent, we are called to love and serve our children well, to love them unconditionally, and to raise them to be productive adults who impact the world that they touch.
    1. Active Listening: Encourage the child to actively listen to the other person's perspective before expressing their own thoughts. This teaches the importance of understanding different viewpoints and promotes respectful dialogue.
    2. Use "I" Statements: Encourage the child to use "I" statements when expressing their feelings or opinions. For example, "I feel frustrated when..." or "I would prefer if...". This helps the child take ownership of their emotions and communicate assertively yet respectfully.
    3. Practice Empathy: Encourage the child to consider the other person's feelings and perspectives when expressing themselves. By fostering empathy, children learn to communicate with sensitivity and understanding, promoting respectful interactions with others.
    As you navigate the nuances of parent-child dynamics, remember that healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and open communication. Encouraging children to express their boundaries and opinions establishes a foundation for strong, resilient connections that can withstand the tests of time.
    In the journey of parenting, embracing the concept of a child saying no to a parent can lead to deeper connections and a greater sense of harmony within the family unit. By nurt

    3399 Why Not Try?

    3399 Why Not Try?

    In the realm of infinite possibilities, hesitance to try can be a barrier between us and our dreams. However, the truth remains - for anything to become possible, one must be willing to battle the impossible. Why not try? We find ourselves stuck in the web of 'what ifs' and 'if onlys', fantasizing about a reality where success comes effortlessly. 
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    "In the face of uncertainty, the bravest choice one can make is to try." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    This sentiment encapsulates the essence of taking that leap of faith, stepping into the unknown, and embracing the challenges that lie ahead.
    Author Jack Canfield beautifully captures the power of trying with his words, "Everything you want is on the other side of fear."
    Indeed, fear often masquerades as a shield, holding us back from venturing beyond our comfort zones. Yet, it is only by confronting your fears head-on that you can uncover your true potential.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Why not try! Embracing change and uncertainty becomes a transformative journey when we shift our perspective toward trying. It is not about the end result, but rather the courage and resilience we cultivate along the way.
    Every attempt, every stumble, every failure, and every success contributes to the tapestry of your growth.
    So, why not try? Why not take that first step toward your aspirations, knowing that each effort propels you closer to your goals? The path may be fraught with challenges, but perseverance and determination pave the way for our own success.
    "Dare to silence the doubts that linger within and embrace the infinite possibilities that await you on the other side of trying." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Let this be your call to action, your invitation to break free from the shackles of hesitation and embrace the journey of trying. For in the pursuit of our dreams, it is not the destination that defines you, but who you are becoming through strength and resilience along the way.
    Remember, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take - why not try?

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3398 Aging Gratefully

    3398 Aging Gratefully

    How much of your life are you worrying about your diet and exercise-- counting steps, tallying calories questioning your healthy living? What if you looked at your day with the tune of aging gratefully? What if, instead of approaching health with a mindset of scarcity and lack, you viewed aging as an opportunity to be embraced with gratitude?
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    In a society obsessed with perfection and eternal youth, it's easy to fall into the trap of constantly feeling like you're not good enough. Whether it's your weight, your appearance, or your fitness level, the pressure to measure up to impossible standards can feel relentless.
    How are you handling that now?
    But what if you took a page out of a senior manual - age gratefully?
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Age gratefully! Because if you shifted your perspective and learned to age gratefully, don't you think that would have a profound impact on what you think, which would directly affect your behaviors and actions?
    1. Practice Self-Compassion:
    Instead of beating yourself up for every perceived flaw or shortcoming, try practicing self-compassion. Research shows that individuals who are kind to themselves are more likely to adopt healthy habits and stick to them long-term. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a loved one.
    2. Focus on Mindful Movement:
    Rather than viewing exercise as a punishment for your body, reframe it as a form of self-care and self-love. Engage in activities that bring you joy and make you feel good, whether it's dancing, hiking, yoga, or simply taking a leisurely stroll in nature. Research indicates that incorporating movement into your daily routine not only improves physical health but also boosts mood and mental well-being.
    3. Cultivate Gratitude:
    Gratitude has been linked to numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, improved sleep, and enhanced overall well-being. Take time each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for, whether it's a beautiful sunset, a kind gesture from a friend, or simply the gift of good health. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude, you can shift your focus from what's lacking to what's abundant in your life.
    "It's not about striving for an unattainable ideal of perfection, but rather embracing the journey of aging with gratitude and grace." - Kristianne Wargo
    As you navigate the ups and downs of life, remember that aging gratefully is not about achieving a flawless existence but rather finding contentment and joy in the present moment.
    Treating yourself with kindness. Move your body mindfully. Cultivating gratitude. That's when you can enhance your overall health and well-being as you gracefully navigate the journey of aging.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3397 Lead With Vision

    3397 Lead With Vision

    Sometimes, when the days come and go, so does our vision. We end up leaving what we thought was important behind for something less fulfilling. Don't lose yourself; lead with vision. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to lose sight of our dreams and aspirations.
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    We get caught up in the mundane routines, the never-ending to-do lists, and the pressures of society. But amidst it all, one thing remains crucial - our vision.
    Renowned psychologist Viktor Frankl once said, "Those who have a 'why' to live can bear with almost any 'how'."
    This powerful quote resonates deeply, reminding us that our vision, our 'why', is what propels us forward in the face of adversity.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead with vision! In a world where distractions are rampant and self-doubt is a constant companion, holding onto your vision becomes a radical act of self-care.
    "Your vision is the compass that guides you through the storms and keeps you anchored to your true north." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    As you navigate through the highs and lows of life, let us not forget the words of author Jon M. Huntsman, Sr., who famously said, "You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time."
    "Your vision is your beacon of hope, shining brightly in the darkness, reminding you of the brighter tomorrow that awaits you. Don't let your light go out!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    So to all those who are weary, who feel lost or overwhelmed, remember - lead with vision. For it is in the clarity of your dreams that you find the strength to persevere, the courage to take risks, and the resilience to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
    "Let your vision be your guiding light, illuminating the path to your greatest potential. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    May you all strive to lead with vision, for it is in chasing your dreams that you truly come alive.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
