Create Your Now ~ Your Best Selfie

If life came to an abrupt stop, where would you be as a couple? Too much of our time is spent on the things that don't matter, so we forget about what does. Sharing is my favorite. Sharing in a marriage goes beyond splitting chores or responsibilities. It means opening up your heart, your thoughts, your dreams, and your fears to your partner. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-min...

Cleaning up after our children is not something parents like to do, especially the messes we helped to create; those generational habits we inherited from our upbringing. At some point, though, it's essential to sift through the tumbleweeds of our past and stop the spread of what is not beneficial in raising our children. Look at the conversations and interactions you've had over this week. How di...

Life can get you down, and distractions can lead your day. But what matters is you. And not in the sassy "look at me" tone, yet a heart that speaks loudly in facing struggles with resilience and challenging your mind to keep going. Life is a gift. How can you not live life to its fullest? In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of our dreams and aspirations. We often fin...

Embarking on a journey to lead a healthier life often faces the hurdle of our old habits and routines. We all desire positive change, but making it stick requires one key element: make it easy to say YES! Because, quite frankly, we have so much going on that we get caught up in what everyone else wants and we forget about what we need, especially when it comes to our health. Desire to be supported...

In a world filled with the chase for likes, followers, and external validation, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters – genuine connection and meaningful contribution. The relentless pursuit of rankings often leads to a superficial presence, while the pursuit of relevance ensures a lasting impact on others and ourselves. Chase relevance, not rankings. When we prioritize relevance over rank...

Too much of our time is spent in the past. Why do you give more hours to something you can't change? What you have is here and now; let go so you can grow.  When we are trying to live out our dreams and discover our purpose in life, somehow we forget that the past matters more than the present, or even the future. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kai...

Waiting has become a lost art in a world that values speed and efficiency. Yet, as believers and Christians, waiting on the Lord is not passive but a powerful act of trust and surrender. Are you one who will stay lost, or will you live while you wait? Most of the time, we work for the results and not the relationship. But as people of faith, it's about anchoring your identity in God's promises and...

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our priorities and forget to check in on our partner's mental health and well-being. While supporting each other's dreams and aspirations is essential, nurturing your spouse's mental health is equally vital for a thriving marriage. We tend to forget that a marriage takes two to tango. And that means, when your spouse hurts, you...

As parents, navigating the many decisions that shape our children's lives is a constant challenge. From setting boundaries to granting permissions, we carry the weight of molding our children into responsible, compassionate individuals. But amidst the sea of no's, your yes makes all the difference. For every moment we have to say no – whether it's to a request for a late-night sleepover or an extr...

Maybe you find yourself sitting around, wondering why you can't seem to get things done? It's a feeling many of us experience, especially as we navigate the challenges of a busy work and personal life. But here's the thing – it's not about your age or how fast time seems to be slipping away. It's about mastering the art of doing that can truly change the game. Think back to when you were younger....

Many things sound good in our heads. We convince ourselves how this or that can work for the better. However, once you examine the facts, the season you're in, and what you need, the thoughts in your head do not always make sense. How can you clear the clutter to change your body? In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that what sounds good in o...

Fear can be paralyzing. It can hold us back from pursuing our dreams, from taking risks, from embracing the unknown. But what if you were to shift your perspective and see that fear is your friend? Consider how you could welcome fear and then acknowledge its presence, not overwhelm you, but keeping you grounded and moving forward. You don't want fear to dictate your actions or control your decisio...

In the journey of pursuing our goals and dreams, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and rush to the finish line without laying a solid foundation. However, just like a house needs a sturdy base to stand strong, our aspirations require a stable groundwork to support our growth and success; build the foundation first. A house cannot serve you well if there is no foundation to keep everythi...

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, it says— "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" No matter where you are in the rumblings of your life, God's grace is sufficient. You don't have to be perfect to be seen or heard. God's got you!

Being married is a challenge in itself. You must wake up every morning ready to say "I do" today. Love is a verb and requires you to choose daily. But what if you're not number one to your spouse? Life has cycles and seasons. Some are good and some are bad. But most are lived without intention unless it's required of you. We put out the fires of others, and the seasons prompt us to shift according...

In life, we think that if we cut through the grass, we'll get to the other side faster. But when it comes to raising kids, there are no shortcuts. You have to be in the long game to get to the other side. Each step, each stumble, each small victory, all contribute to the complex tapestry of nurturing and guiding young minds towards adulthood. You want them to be productive adults ready to impact t...

Everyone needs a moment where they have permission to slow down in order to speed up. Our lives are consumed by busyness, and much is missed every day because of our lack of presence. Stillness is strength. We live in a world that glorifies busyness and constant movement; the concept of stillness is often overlooked. Living in a society where being busy is worn as a badge of honor and taking a mom...

Living a healthy lifestyle is often associated with restrictions, rules, and sacrifices, but it doesn't have to be that way. When your days are full of stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm, keep it sweet. It's essential to shift the focus from what you can't have to what you can do. Healthy living can be simple and sweet if approached with the right mindset. Desire to be supported and encouraged by o...

In a world where comparison is at the tip of our fingers, it's easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing. The endless scroll of social media feeds and the pressure to keep up with the Joneses can make it challenging to focus on our own desires for change. Time to rock your block! The key question we should be asking ourselves is: What can I control? Desire to be supported and encouraged...

Do you find yourself stuck in a rut, going through the motions day in and day out, all the while believing in a reality you've created for yourself? It's a common trap to fall into, but what happens when the lie is no longer the truth? This is the moment where the transformation meets opportunity. You get a chance to change your life with the choice you make. And that makes room for you to create...

In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, Easter offers a welcome respite from our everyday routines, reminding us that Jesus has risen. He is risen, He is risen indeed. This. Changes. Everything. This brings hope and renewal to all who believe and to those who question. When Jesus was on the cross, He was not alone. He bore the weight of the world's sins, offering redemption and salvation t...

With Easter and Spring, what a great time to be reminded that marriages don't have to feel old and worn out. You can have a vibrant marriage because the fresh and new has come.  It is super easy to be lazy in our marriages. We cling to old habits and pastimes, attempting to maintain the peace because it's too much work otherwise.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? J...

Parents don't like being mean, but it is our responsibility to train up our children where they are to go.  Therefore, as a parent, how do you walk the fine line from confession to connection?

But there is hope when you walk in the light. Because in the darkness, a guiding light is always waiting to lead us back to safety and solace, the comfort that can only be given by our heavenly Father. Desire to be supported and enco...

No matter how hard you try, life poses challenges financially, relationally, and physically. If only one could figure out how embracing divine fitness in a world of temptations could elevate their days, then life would definitely be lived differently.  In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, it is written, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received fr...
