We've all heard the saying, "What you think about you bring about." The art of thoughts has greater influence and impact on your life than we realize. You can have the most money - win the Powerball, and not be happy. In fact, you become worse off. It's heart-breaking to hear the stories of those who come into a lot of money, and then throw their life away. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    The art of thoughts is how we make decisions, what we think, the actions we take, the reactions we make, the responses we choose. It's the culmination of what moves us forward in life. It's the BIG BANG in your life! Everything that you do is wrapped up in the art of thoughts. Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change.   So how did you wake up this morning? What was your "self" conversation like? If the art of thoughts is truly the big bank of your life, why don't we spend more ti

Wouldn't it be great to have every news report begin with "And the good news is..."? However, today it seems like the world is more attracted to those who hurt others, the destruction of families, and the everlasting fight to be right and famous. What if I told you that every one of your days is filled with "And the good news is..."? Would you want to know? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Well today, let's listen in to your simulcast.... Good day! Welcome to your extraordinary life. I hope you're ready for a splendid day. And the good news is... You're the light of the world! Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change. Now if you heard that every morning, how would you feel? What would be your first action?  So when you begin to question what you are suppose to be doing, when you get too tired not to go on, when you feel like the worst wife ever,  STOP --- BREATHE -

Life offers opportunities to grow, personally and professionally. But how to change for the better can be a stumbling block because change brings discomfort, uneasiness, and even frustration. We never seem to get it right all the time. Someone always complains, wants you to act differently. They want you to fit into THEIR comfort zone, because in YOUR zone... It becomes their twilight zone! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    "People don't like what they don't know." Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change. So if people don't like what they don't know; then YOU don't like what YOU don't know --- which is CHANGE! No one likes change. Which leads us right back to how to change for the better. It's this constant centripetal force. We get drawn back in, sucked in, to where we don't want to go. "Old habits die hard." ~ Unknown Is there no hope? Of course there is hope! Bu

There's nothing more personal and hurtful than being smacked in the face because you don't fit into the box. What do you do when the world is against you? What do you do when you are being kind, respectful, working hard, learning everyday; and all you get is backlash? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    I've been watching and working with my children on this very topic. And I can tell you it baffles me at times. I don't get why people think they are better than someone else and can continue to put down, not give opportunities, not support them in who they are as an individual, and not allow them to share and grow in their talents. Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change. Are we seriously so wrapped up in ourselves that we forget and choose not to include people who don't fit into the box? What if Christ would have done that to you? Would you have fit into that box? I

Staying motivated and inspired in life can be the greatest stumbling black when becoming your best selfie. The secret is to take A.I.M.!

Consult your physician or medical provider when changing your nutrition or fitness program. Today, I want to go over some specific herbs and spices that will upgrade your meals' nutritional value. Unfortunately, our soil is depleted of minerals and nutrients, that even when we eat clean REAL food, we still are not getting everything we need. Using herbs and spices increase the range of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

When we lack motivation to keep going, sometimes it's easier to retreat; fall back instead of fall forward. However, the best step you can take is to stay in action. And retreat doesn't qualify as action! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Action is the fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim. Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change. Somehow we are more attracted to running from the pain, the unknown, the uncomfortableness to hide beneath the shadows burying our goals. You are worthy of more. Stay in action! If you want to impact and live an empowering life, you have to be willing to take some risks. And those risks are embracing your emotions. You see, motivation doesn't disappear and fizzle away. What happens is we are running away from ourselves so we don't have to "FEEL". We don't want to upset our inner self. Why feel heart palpitations

In your busy, hectic schedule, where do you find the time to get it all done? How to reduce stress and keep it all together should be a priority. Your life may depend on it. Life is complicated! And there are days that you can't even remember if you took a breath. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    As much as we like to keep busy, like a badge of honor we wear, it begins to wear on us harder. The busyness creates a patter that we assume we must keep up with. Eventually, we are caught in the webs of stress. Ready, Set, A.I.M. 5-Day Challenge How to create happy habits for lasting change. Stress begins to eat away at your health, sleep, peace, marriage, your job performance, your sanity. It begins to eat away at you. Stress has a profound impact on you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Some of those effects are: headaches fatigue tummy aches anxiety anger depression binge eating drug/alcoh

As you arose this morning, stretching your tight muscles, what lies and labels did you communicate loudly and boldly to yourself? What image did you paint in your mind with your thoughts looking at your reflection? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Today is a day of reflection. A time to revitalize your mind, body, and spirit. In order to do so, you must take A.I.M. in removing the lies and labels you tell yourself. You deserve to tell yourself the truth, but doing so in love and respect for you. Instead, you choose to beat yourself up with condescending labels and lies to hold you hostage to your past. God doesn't want you to hurt yourself. But these lies and labels, you are doing just that. The little lies you tell yourself, the little whispers in your head; they tear down your confidence, they confuse your inner self with conflicting clarity, and the force a label that you claim as YOU! The lies you te

You have heard the quote, "a happy wife, a happy life". Maybe your husband has said it. Maybe you jokingly agreed with your girlfriends. Or maybe a customer clerk commented as you were checking out. How true is this in your home? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    If you're not happy, is everyone is not happy? Is that really how it works? Well there was a study done my Deborah Carr (Rutgers University) and Vicki A. Freeman (University of Michigan) which showed that "happy wife, happy life" holds true. Carr found men rate their marriage higher than women. This might be due to the fact that women think deeper and scrutinize their relationship more than men. So if the woman is happy, she will then take care of her man meeting his needs --- physically, emotionally and culturally (the domestic beauties, the household chores). I raise this question because I believe our marriages are being short-changed. I belie

Nothing is more frustrating and heartbreaking than hearing your child shout, "I can't do this!". And it's not just about the sentence. It's what they are continually instilling deep within their own core foundation; their inner self, their authentic self. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    We start with the Olympic Cauldron. This enormous belief torch we all start with. We carry the invincible belief torch. But as we get older, our belief torch can begin to shrink, one failure at a time; eventually becoming the size of a match. Unfortunately, some are left with only ashes. You are not immune to it either. "I can't do this!" Maybe you recently shrugged off this statement spoken by your child, mumbled to yourself. Or maybe it's been a fleeting thought like a fallen autumn leaf blowing across the field. Every time you say "I can't do this!", or paraphrase it a little differently, you are shrinking your belief

When troubles and struggles strike, pain infuses our mind, body, and spirit. We try to dismiss the pain we're feeling. But what if we embrace the beauty of pain. And that pain could actually shine a light on the changes needed to lead us to greatness. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Instead, we are quick to buckle down and shut out any possibilities of hope to change because the pains hurts TOO much. Sometimes I think we feel marked, like we have a target. "Someone is always out to get me." "I can't do anything right." We give into this mark --- the pain. We set up camp and settle in. Because to do anything else would just bring about more pain. Who wants to experience more pain? And then what happens, we become NUMB to it. This is the norm in your life. What if you took your pain and allowed yourself to see the beauty where it could be leading you? The next step. The K.I.S.S. ~ The beauty of pain... S

Most of us cringe at the thought of talking about intimacy. But if you combine it with exercise, you can then learn how exercise can improve intimacy. Exercise is an important component in living a healthy, happy lifestyle. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    So let's get physical, physical.... (Olivia Newton-John. 1981) The song is really good because its lyrics point us in the direction of intimacy, physically, mentally, and emotionally. PHYSICAL:  Exercise, intentional movement, is great for your body. Not only are you toning your body, but you are becoming stronger, healthier, and you have more energy! Bonus!! The physical part of exercise affects the intensity level of CONNECTION. MENTAL:  Think about what exercise does to your body? What does it do for you mentally? Exercise reduces stress and increases confidence. It allows the mind to relax; therefore, you have more CLARITY in thought. When you have

Most of us don't want to prep for the day before it happens. However, if you want to wake up to hope, you need to start before the clock strikes goodnight! When you want something different than what you currently have, a change has to occur. Some goes for living a life hope-filled instead of living a life of incredible defeat. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Who wants to wake up to timeless defeat; oh woes me? You really don't have time for this nonsense! You are fearfully and wonderfully made. The only thing holding you back is YOU! If you want to wake up to hope, you need to navigate towards hope. Stop playing games. Stop making excuses. Choose to see the brighter side of things; your circumstances, your decisions, your life. Erase the negativity! If you want to wake up to hope, you have to create hope. The K.I.S.S. ~ Use forward thinking thoughts! Be your beacon of light. As you get ready for bed, I

Failure finds us all at some point in our lives. Yet no failure is fatal. Just because you fall and trip in life, as you learn to walk, doesn't mean you can't and won't ever walk.

Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Our determination as a young infant wanting to be in the bigger world draws us closer to NOT giving up even when we stumble. It doesn't define us. So if it doesn't define us as a child, why do we let it halt our progress as an adult, a woman trying to live out her dream? Well, on the lighter side, we are much closer to the ground as a child. It doesn't take much effort. We get up and do it again; eventually seeing success waling accomplished --- now to run. But as we get older, the fall is so much greater. A simple "no" from a neighbor, friend, or family member stalls our dreams and send us into self doubt. In Episode #604 When Self Doubt Creeps In ... We chat about how to crush self doubt with

Do you ever sit there and wonder what your life would be like if you were doing something different? Are you thirsty for more? The Lord says, "Forget what happened before and do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don't you see it? I will make a road in the desert and rivers in the dry land." ~ Isaiah 43:18-19 Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    There are times in my life where I'm trying to fill my life with stuff, embracing materialistic things; things of this earth. Wanting more out of my business, more out of my marriage, more out of my mom, more out of my children. More out of myself! Why can't I quench this thirst? The longing for more confuses me, overwhelms me and leaves me befuddled. I'm trying to find my way with no road map. When you have dry land, you want more. And when you have rivers, you want more of something less. Where is the balance?

As a mom of 5, you would think I would master all there is. But when the rules keep changing, how do you adapt? How do you survive? How do you not lose yourself in the process? When you're working so hard to get ahead yet to only discover that you're the runner-up, the second best, the step-sister who is never the princess. How do you keep going? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    One of my children is experiencing this right now. --- Fiddling with the rules to get what they want instead of rewarding and honoring the effort and hard work of the child. Of course this breaks my heart as a mom, because I can see exactly what's happening. Unfortunately, our children aren't the only ones to experience this in life. As adults, it's even more of a challenge when the rules keep changing. It might be in your job, with your husband, in your church, in your schools, even online!  When the rules keep changing, how do

As children go through stages in life, they see only what they know. So in order for growth to occur, we need to recognize they might be chasing the wrong things. Children go through stages, and so do we. But we don't always like to look at our adult life as a "stage". Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women?

Grades count unlike in elementary school where it was more of the P, S, and N. In middle school, however, you're graded specifically to your output (the answers). For he first week or so of school, he was studying how he did in elementary school because that's what he knew. It wasn't bad, but he was chasing the wrong things. After his first grade in middle school, we had a discussion. What is expected of him in school? How can he change his patterns for studying? The discussi

Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    One thing that has served me most growing up in a perfectionist world, it that I could accomplish much more when I set my mind to it and hit it head on. Instead of curling up, hiding, and retreating like a scaredy-cat, I put forth my greatest effort and charge forward. Attack and destroy! I fluffed my confidence feathers even though I was shaking on the inside. I accomplished more (and not always getting exactly what I wanted), but it got me moving in the right direction. Sometimes if we wait around, we get trapped in the mind games. Then we are playing defensive back. It's time to up your game and play o

Today, I want to share with you a personal story. The story of how being overweight revealed the addiction. My food addiction. At first I never saw it as an addiction. I thought I just ate food because I really enjoyed it. But when my husband told me he had fallen out of love, I began to look at what I was doing in my entire life. I was deconstructing how I lived. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Studies show that a person can be addicted to food. The pleasure centers within the brain are triggered by food just as addictive drugs like cocaine and heroin.  These food are highly palatable food rich in sugar, fat, and salt. When you eat these foods, it triggers the feel good chemicals such as dopamine.  HEALTH STRATEGY SESSION Food does affect our emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. It affects not just our health, but our relationships. How we perform as a mom, wife, at work, at school. The K
