It's time to magnify your life. Build yourself up so the excuses don't get in your way. You have dreams and goals. Magnify what good is coming from your pursuit. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Every day you make a choice. Yes, you choose the direction of where you want your life to go. When you are living out your mission and pursuing your vision, you will stumble. Trouble awaits around the corner. But you, who wants to impact, must choose triumph or defeat. What do you choose to magnify --- triumph or defeat? Are you willing to settle in and stew over your failings and shortcomings? Or are you ready to impact one step at a time, magnifying your next step. And even when you fall, you magnify the getting up. What are you magnifying in your life? Is your race all about excuses? The K.I.S.S. ~ Magnify! It's time to get out of the mess and move up. Magnify the goodness in your life. Magnify the great works G

The pain of knowledge can be very stressful and real when you desire to impact your circle of influence, the world in which you touch. Now how can there be pain in knowledge? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Think about what you aspire to accomplish. You attend school, invest in conferences to dive deeper, and extend your foundation further by conducting self research or global examinations. At the point you are ready to put your knowledge into practice, what appears to be very logically turns into frustration and confusion. You know your stuff. But the "real life" factor takes its toll and presents with unexpected turbulence. What does this all really mean? It's the self thought of, "Why can't I get to where I know I'm supposed to be. I have the knowledge, the skills, but nothing is happening the way I imagined it." Your predicted timelines are impacted. Self doubt creeps in stronger than when you were lea

Why is it that our faults and failures seem to highlight the day? Be ready to be blessed with your unexpected gifts. Your faults, failures, flaws, and all are redeemed. God redeems them without hesitation. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Beauty for ashes. And you don't have to pick up the broken pieces by yourself. God desires to lock arms with you and show His glory through you. It doesn't seem fair. Life isn't fair. I stumble through the day with self doubt, fear, and a frustration that won't fade. And now God says, "I am redeemed." He compensates me for being a flawed me. Because when He sees my reflection, it's the beauty that glistens and grabs His attention. "I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you." ~ Isaiah 44:22 Your unexpected gift can bless you too. ---But you must open your heart and accept God's redemption. The K.I.S.

Life operates more smoothly when you find the balance between silence and sound. In your marriage, that's recognizing what to refrain from or what to do. How to move forward in the conversation or how to sit back and listen. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Finding the balance between silence and sound is being attentive to what your partner needs at that particular time. And unfortunately, there's no clear cut, one-way only approach to obtaining this balance. However, God did work something into your body to help you with what direction to take. You have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen 2x more than you speak! "There's a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a

Nothing pains a heart more than hurt. When you're asked, "Can you see the rainbow in a dark world?", how would your heart respond? I was presented with this question from my child as she pondered the fairness, or lack there of, in a world challenging her goals, dreams and friendships Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact As we go through life, we can feel trapped and held captive within ourselves. And when the walls begin to close in around you --- darkness lingers. The hurt, frustration, and overwhelm becomes the heartbeat of the day. The only light that flickers is the brief reveal of sarcasm; the hope which keeps you snickering just a little bit. Life isn't fair. In fact, it can be really rough and tough. It's rough for our children. Times have changed. Family dynamics are different and present unique situations where we don't have the expertise. But what breaks me more is that the dark world isn't just for k

We are so quick to judge and pass on the yuck and muck in life. How different would your day be if you share the joy? The joy of goodness God has bestowed on your life.

Think about how much you teach daily. So what can you learn from what you teach? It's very easy to teach those willing to learn. But how do you see yourself as a student? Are you as willing to learn as those you teach? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Things we might think as simplistic; they all require tools, strategies, and a plan to execute well. Our life, our mindset, the actions we take all depend on our skills and our experiences creating a perspective of how we tackle the challenges and make decisions. In the short sale of daily living, there isn't much we think needs deeper thought. But what would happen if you made little shifts in how you do things? How you perform living life? "It's easier to teach than it is to learn." Especially if it necessitates you to change a habit or influences your current mindset. Remember, we can be somewhat stubborn and set in our ways. So it brings us back around to

Happy Mother's Day! On a special day like this, you always wonder what moms really want. Even my husband asked me what I wanted. I quickly responded, "Seriously...Nothing! Just to spend time together." Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact When I googled what moms really want, I wasn't surprised to find all the articles mentioning the material stuff. Parenting Magazine included a spa day, a clean house, a day to herself, sleep, a day off from the mom routine, carwash, a hone-DONE list, and dinner planned and fixed for a week. Now all of that sounds fabulous! But what does mom really want? What does she hope for? Mother's Day was officially established in the United States in 1914 where President Woodrow Wilson signed it into law. However, Anna Jarvis (daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis) started the movement to honor her mother. Every girl was presented with a white carnation when they were in church. What would moms

When we say, "I do", we forget that it's really "We do!". Marriage is a time to move from me to we. However, do we ever leave the me behind; loving sacrificially and unconditionally? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact You may quickly respond, "Yeah!" But do your actions reflect your heart? I'm asking you to be real honest with yourself and the commitment your investing in your marriage. Marriage is a two-way street. Each partner must do their part. It's not about keeping score if you want to move from me to we. So how can you begin to make the shift to move from me to we? The K.I.S.S. ~ Interconnect with your spouse! Make it a priority. You get out of your marriage what you put into it. Reconnect like you did while dating. Make a list of your spouse's interests/hobbies. Pick ONE that is the most realistic interest to get involved together. Let the learning and the sharing multiply. You gotta stop going thr

Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Life isn't always that Cinderella story you dreamt about growing up. Sometimes it feels like a game of Dodge Ball. I was never a fan of playing that in P.E. But I did anyway. And when that ball hit you, you felt the sting. The marks lasted longer than the class. That's the sting of the trials and the tribulations you face in life. You take the hit. Run to another spot, yet are met by a flying ball. When will you ever get a break? I can remember wanting to get hit early so I wouldn't have the anxious feeling of knowing something was coming. Life can be like a game of Dodge Ball. Running wild, trying to find refuge only to catch a break. However, hitting the wall head on! There is joy in trials! You have to count your blessings. The question is, what score are you keeping?

The power of the calorie impacts not only the body, but specifically the brain. What story is your breakfast, or any meal you've eaten, telling your brain? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact This is not a typical approach to looking at calories. Typically --- it's more about calories in, calories out. Now this is beneficial to optimal wellness, but it's not the ONLY way to look at a calorie. What message are you sending to your brain and your body when consuming that calorie? So let's look at a delicious, yummy cinnamon roll and a dark green leafy and colorful salad. Which one is going to send your body and brain the messages of love, energy, and vitality? "The power of the calorie is essential to balancing your health." We have to look at a calorie as more than a number. When you eat food that you crave, that junk, fast, or crazy fried food, the power of the calorie is depreciated. If you want the power of t

When life gets you down, somehow hope prevails and you still laugh. Maybe you face a devastating situation, yet joy emerges from the ashes. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact There are those time in life where you don't get. It's not fair. You even cry out, "Why me?" And you still laugh. It's easier to focus on the pain instead of celebrating the blessings. It's the trap of negativity that draws you in. It's a force to be reckoned with. And you still laugh. Laughter is medicine for the soul. And when it's missing, there's a haze that disguises and repressing your emotions. Nothing's normal. So when you are experiencing challenging times, storms, trials and tribulations, use laughter to life your spirits to break the negativity, and heighten gratitude. You can have this too when life reveals only hurt and regret and sorrow. The K.I.S.S. ~ Laugh! God provides hope by blessing you with laughter. Your hope will i

Most people stay grounded in what they know. So in order to expand your influence, you will need to adopt the abundance mindset. And when we're talking influence, that might be your finances, growing your business, reconciling your marriage, reaching and accomplishing your goals. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact If you stay rooted in what you know, how can you go farther? You have to adopt the abundance mindset. You have to change your thoughts to change your life. So what is the abundance mindset? Abundance: plentifulness of good things; prosperity, being prosperous. You want to feel that; it's overflowing! God wants to bless you beyond anything your can dream or imagine. But when you let your small-mindedness and scarcity mindset continue to blossom, where's your influence? Where's your impact? Where's your growth? There is none. It's stifled. However, you need to make a shift to the abundance mindset. "A

The biggest challenge when you want to give up is to keep going, moving forward, and taking action with each step. But it's more than easy to throw up your arms and say, "I give up. I'm not where I want to be. I've been at this how long? It's not worth it!" Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact The curse of giving up is the easy way out. If you aren't experiencing the results you wanted within YOUR timeline, why keep pushing a rock up a hill? You just keep going backwards. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." ~ Galatians 6:9 However, I want you to put a pause to all those negative talks that are so tempting to grab ahold of  with greater hop than your dream. Your dream is null and void in your opinion. You're not getting anywhere, so why keep trying? Cause you're worth it? Well is that what you believe? Think about it. If you're ready to giv

When was the last time you looked into your husband's eyes? The eyes of the heart, a valuable cornerstone to building your marriage. In every relationship, the other mate desires attention. But if you think about your lifestyle, are you truly giving attention? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Upon dating, it was all about the other one. The one that got your heart to skip a beat. You did everything for them. And now? You barely gaze into each others' eyes to say goodbye. Then when the day is over, you come home and consume yourself with children activities, dinner and vegging out in front of the TV, a good book, or your cell phone. Where is your hubby's eyes? What is distracting you? You want to strengthen the passion in your marriage? The K.I.S.S. ~ Intentionally Give Attention! Notice your partner's eyes.

Confessions of an upset mama! The call you never want is the one from your child that says, "I have been in an accident." I received that call today from my son after being in a motorcycle accident. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact Even a stranger stopped and talked to me on the phone. Thank you Kelly! My son was conscious. But then what? The rushing rage of: OMGoodness I am SO mad. I want to take all the pain away. I just want to hold him. You see, I could stop and catch my breath, because we were prepared. Prepared personally and as a family. I immediately went to the Lord in prayer. God was there for the accident. Even though I couldn't control everything, God was already preparing a way. How are you preparing for life? "Preparation is the key to the call you never want." You can apply this to your children, your marriage, your business; anywhere in your life. You must PREPARE! Be careful as you might
