Yes, you may want to be perfect, but you aren't going to be. You learn from your failures, not your successes. "If we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong." ~ 1 John 1:9 NLT A mistake is never permanent unless you do nothing to fix it. Secondly, God solves your problems. He has an answer for everything in your life. Let Him handle your problems. When you let Him in, He will go to work on solving those problems that are too big. "Since God assured us "I'll never let you down, never walk off and never leave you," we can

In order to have an incredible marriage, you must own your mistakes.  Now this can be very challenging in a marriage, but it is doable. You can own your mistakes and build up your marriage.

It really is OK not to be right. Stop keeping score. You don't need to see the score on the giant NBA scoreboard, 119 to 10. It doesn't matter. It's not about who's right or who's wrong. It's all about having respect for each other and owning your mistakes. How can you do? "Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." ~ Bruce Lee The K.I.S.S. ~ Courageously own your mistakes! Repeat this phrase.... 'I was wrong. Please forgive me.' Here's your triple AAA insurance! :) ACKNOWLEDGE what went wrong. ASK for forgiveness. A.I.M. for greatness. TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This is a compliment

The things missing in our day to day lives. Why aren't you looking at me? Technology is crazy awesome, but what happened to the basics? The little dirty secrets to impact your life greatly.

Those habits, strategies, tools, and principles play a tremendous role in how you live your life. You are a living legacy! What you do now matters. When my daughter's best friend from college came back from China, she was having a conversation but not looking at her. This is when Elena squealed, "Why aren't you looking at me?" This brought us all to laughter and today's episode. Why aren't you looking at me? What are you hiding? What are you afraid of? Do you not trust me? I am not good enough? These are the questions perceived by the ones you are trying to communicate with. Episode #880 My Strength is My Story with Dr. Meg Meeker, H

In a world of trends, how happiness affects your health can be the most beneficial trend you spend your time on. Happiness is the greatest trend you want to adopt. Everyone wants to be happy. Don't you?!? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact So what is happiness? By definition, it is the state of being happy; which is feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. Over the recent years, researchers (i.e., psychologists, physicians, economists, etc.) have tried to make the connection between joy and wellness. And this connection is happiness. If happiness is the connection between joy and wellness, then you making it a trend in your life would be a game changer! Q&A to Self Where are you now? How good are you feeling? What's your starting point? How much does your past influence your present? In other words, where is forgiveness in your life? When stuff happens, what it the tendency of your initial response or

Heartaches and pain can eat away at your life, shredding each hope strand. Instead of being haunted by pain and regret, build a bridge. Too many times we give ourselves permission to waddle in the yucky muck. You aren't a duck! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact So the muck doesn't fit. Build a bridge. Find what makes you smile. Aim higher than the lowest valley. Reach for what your heart desires. "A cheerful heart makes its own song!" Build a bridge. Stop wallowing in your failures. Stop wrecking your success before you even give yourself a chance. You. Are. Amazing! It's all about building yourself up. Stop the destruction and build a bridge. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build a bridge! A bridge of greatness with sparkles of hope. A bridge of love bridled with forgiveness. A bridge of joy anchored in gratitude. Build a bridge! Where is your challenge in life? What brick all do you keep striking? Stop the nonsense. Build

How much of your schedule is filled with disruption? Disruption has become the new normal. Between your Facebook feed, Instagram stories, and Pinterest recipes, disruption is your scheduler. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Whatever grabs your eye gets your attention. With the digital age here to stay, you need to begin to focus on things that cannot be automated. The world is changing so fast, do you feel like you can't keep up with life anymore? The more we wander into the disruptions, the more you will feel pulled in multiple directions. And how does this affect you and your mindset? Because disruption has become the new normal, that means you are living life on leftovers. Your purpose no longer matters; or at least it's no longer a priority. What is pulling you away from living your greatness; the greatness God wants to give you? Where are you going? Ultimately, you need to make a choice. The K.I.S.S.

You are created in God's image. Think about how powerful that is in the fullness of your worth. It's not about self-worth. Self-worth can diminish your value. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact When you can see your worth through God's eyes, as you were created in His image, THEN you understand the fullness of your worth! The treasure has been discovered. And that treasure is YOU!!! Now, how do you rate your worth? That's kind of a crazy question. But we do it every day. We equate our worth to other's expectations, to other's accomplishments, to other's bank accounts, to other's family, or as far as someone else's spouse. But that's our earthly logic and reasoning. How do you rate your worth from the Heavenly perspective? Call Upon the Lord (Written by Christopher Brown and Steven Furtick) We need no other hiding place Our hope is safe within Your name. This we know, this we know. You promise to never forsake

What can upset love and respect? With your hectic, busyness schedule, it's no wonder you are stressed. And when stress is in the equation, oh my goodness! There is nothing more detrimental than stress. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Think back to the last time you were really stressed out. No patience and very little energy. Well I don't have to think too far back. As of yesterday, I was crushing my marriage. It was all because I was stressed to the max! Too many demands and not enough hands. Every action I took stung like a bee. No one could do anything right, including me. Now I could say it was because.... But that's just an excuse. I'm a big girl. And no one deserves to be smacked with words and tones of frustration. What can upset love and respect? It's stress and how you intentionally handle it. If you are facing tough times (and that's not unusual), you need to figure out what you can do to lessen

A child's energy is something we all wish we had. Catch the wave and see how your life becomes alive. As we get older, as we age, our energy lessens. But it's just not the energy. Our attitude gets washed out and faded. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Watching how a child greets their day is fascinating. And boy do I wish everyone would catch the wave. The ready to go, refreshing attitude that something new is around the corner. Blessings resound when you look at your life with optimistic hope. Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me." ~ Matthew 19:14 There's something about that joyful, fearless attitude that holds tight to faith and hope. Are you ready to catch the wave? Now that doesn't mean we are no longer responsible adults. We still have to use our noggin. It's how we approach the negative and how we embrace the positive. The K.I.S.S. ~ Catch the Wave! Be inspired by surprise. Delight in

With the kick-off to summer, it's time to tone it up! And this isn't about the body and exercise. It's the thoughts you create morning, noon, and night. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact "What you think about, you bring about." Are you adding beautiful thoughts, respectful thoughts of you to your "I'm amazing list"? Or are you choosing to beat yourself up with condescending remarks and comparison traps? From her on out, you need to be intentional with your tone. Tone it up! Speak words and phrases that serve you and lift you up. Let your tone be calm, soothing, and full of love. Think as if God is speaking through you, to you! His tone would be an outpouring of love and hope with gratitude. Imitate His tone. The K.I.S.S. ~ Tone it up! Make each day about building yourself up; creating a foundation of confidence, trust, love, and encouragement. Tone it up! Inspire with your heart of gold as you continue to r

Your health is your wealth. Here are some fat-burning secrets to consider when creating your daily wellness routine. Think about what you currently do and maybe some tweaks you can make along the way to get you to where you want to go with your health. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact The K.I.S.S. ~ Fat-Burning Secrets! Metabolic Boosting Exercise - HIIT, Cross Fit workouts, and Tabata exercises. Beware of the chronic cardio and endurance workouts on the elliptical/treadmill. REST in between workouts! Your body needs time to recuperate and heal after being challenged in your workouts. You want to keep the inflammation under control. Manage STRESS levels - When you're stressed out, your body is fighting an internal battle. Beware of the alcohol as it's a toxin. With a toxin present, your body is going to need to detoxify. Also include prayer/meditation and yoga into your routine. SLEEP - You need a 7-9 hou

When you are facing challenges and change, it's the climb that shapes you. Winning at the end and accomplishing your goals lasts for minutes. The celebration comes and goes. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact But it's what you learn on your journey to victory. You know what it's like to question your direction and the path you're on. The thoughts that hold you back, that instill fear and paralyze your next step. However, here is another thing you know. You know the value of having a plan and a vision. You understand the journey you're on is going to bare ups and downs, wins and losses. You can envision where you want to be, the type of person you want to become, and how you want to feel. It's the climb that shapes you as you turn the tough corners. The endurance you build up with each step you take and the resistance you encounter. All of this makes you stronger. It shapes you, adding to the muscle memory you

How can you reach your full potential? It all relies on your brain. Learning how to get control of your brain will serve you and your goals. You might have been mean to your brain in the past. And yes, you must care for your brain in order to reach your full potential. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women?

What does it mean to be still in life? With all of your comings and goings, being still can be a clear challenge. And without the stillness, we miss so much. We let the little things that matter fly by in a blink. Our gratitude becomes limited. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact The stress of doing life all alone sets in. "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." ~ Psalm 37:7 I'm not very patient when it comes to me. For someone else, I'll wait patiently. But what I desire needs to be instantaneous. I want results! God wants us to wait patiently. It's His timing. And that means your timeline might not match to His greatness. Be still. Look at where you are pushing against the flow of life. Are you making everything happen? Or are you calling on your Creator? Be still. Stop fighting yourself. It's not about relaxing and not doing anything. You are calling upon God. Be still. Stop the frustration.

In a relationship, to fall in love all over again takes a concerted effort. But do we really give the time and spare the energy to fall in love all over again? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact You all have heard we are moving. And with any mover comes lots of stuff that must happen. Too much coordinating and cleaning. So without spending a day sharing all the chaos and blessings underway, I will tell you that I'm physically and emotionally exhausted. I can't even remember the last time my eye lids have felt SO heavy. Maybe college finals? Honestly, I wanted nothing to do with it. I was tired! And my to-do list wasn't done yet either. However, I knew that spending time together was exactly what I needed. Off we went to dinner. Both of us were beyond exhausted; yet our conversation and heart said otherwise. When you want to fall in love all over again, you must make your lover a priority regardless of your ex

Life has its twists and turns. You can plan out what you want. But do you always get what you want? Lately I've been struggling. A ton of unknowns. In fact, I've felt very empty at times, frustrated at God; yet determined to figure it all out. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Life isn't fair. As we've continued to grow as a family, including you all, I have found myself leaning on God even more. Is that easy? NO!! I share this with you because a lot is changing in our family. The BIGGEST NEWS is --- we are moving again! With moving comes drastic change. And who likes change? Change is easier when you're younger. When life has its twists and turns...what does one do? The K.I.S.S. ~ Throw it all UP! Give it to God and give Him all the glory! Great things are happening. Please stay tuned and be patient with me. I love you! I look forward to the adventure ahead! TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This i
