It is beyond a challenge when you're the last to know. Why didn't you tell me?  Discovering the mark on the carpet in the family room. Only if someone would have told you sooner, you could have done something about it. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    How many times have you thought...why didn't you tell me? Can you recall a time when you had this discussion with your children, your husband? As you go through different stages of your relationships, "why didn't you tell me" happens way too often. And this is all because of: Assumptions Taking for granted what was learned Just didn't hear; too distracted Who is right? Who is wrong? Why didn't you tell me? This is a breakdown of communication! And in relationships, we definitely have communication problems. You can have an argument of where you want to go to dinner. Nothing gets solved because of the back-handed slap talking you do to each other. Why didn

Are you running your life looking over your shoulder? Run your race, eyes fixed on the passion and purpose given to you. Do you know that where you are looking you will go? If you are constantly worrying about everyone else, there will be no race for you to win. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You looking over your shoulder only slows you down. In fact, it can cause you to move backwards. Try it! "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." ~ Hebrews 12:1 Run your race! What does it mean to be surrounded by such a great cloud of witness? These are not the spectators. Yet it's the heroes, inspiring examples. Surround yourself with greatness. Women of IMPACT.  Run your race! God has given you the fire that burns  deep within igniting the pa

Life can be so static. We can be still. We think we're moving but we really aren't. The art of movement is essential in living out your dreams, your passion, your purpose. As a human being, you are created to move. But with the blessings of innovations, movement has been erased from our daily activities. 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 movement was something way back (in the beginning) that came from the essentials to living. Food, shelter, clothing, water, trade, family. Fast forward to now and what do you have? You have convenience. Convenience has stifled the art of movement. We aren't moving. And this progression of convenience occurring over the years has led to the rise of the fitness industry. We had to figure a way to move more. Because our bodies began to suffer. Obesity, high blood pressure, heart problems. As a being, we have been slowly destroying our bodies.  "Take care of your b

What are you fearful of today...your to do list; your schedule; your bills; your spouse; your job? Fear nothing! "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment." ~ 1 John 4:18 Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    What punishment? It's the punishment we bring upon ourselves or the "what if" thoughts. Those fears are amplified. It's the stuff that makes our heart skip too many bears, makes us anxious and increases our anxiety stumbling over our inadequacies.  Don't run away from what confronts you. Fear nothing! How are you choosing to be held in fear? Are you constantly putting yourself down because you're a starter, not a finisher. Are you allowing yourself to stay stuck in your problems instead of taking the next step? The pity party. The punishment can refer to the negative we grab hold of. We make ourselves victims for our own inadequacies instead of ma

Before the big day happens, hours of preparation, organization and scheduling occurs. Picking out the delicious cake, the gorgeous flowers, the beautiful gown, the tallest heels, the sharpest tuxedo. And then the day before, it's the dress rehearsal all to make sure everything is ready for the BIG day. But your life is not a dress rehearsal. Think about how much effort you put into your wedding preparation. All I can think about is HUGE! For me it was 3 months. And the only thing I had planned out was my wedding dress. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Your life is not a dress rehearsal. You can't rewind and then start again so that speeding ticket you just got didn't really happen. Your life is not a dress rehearsal. As much as we try to plan, the way to greatness is through your mindset, your self worth report card. No one else has control of your thoughts but you. You are your mindset; you speak what y

I can only sit here and imagine where your spirit is today. Is it heavy or is it happy? Let's gear up for greatness! And you don't even have to think about what that means. God spells it all out for you. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    When the children are driving you crazy (and you know they do at times), gear up for greatness. When you and your hubby are butting heads, not communicating well or just loudly, gear up for greatness. When your business seems more of a distraction and a nuisance, the frustration magnifying, gear up for greatness. When all your must dos are weighing you down and your health and self worth is deteriorating, gear up for greatness. You are not alone. And all that is going on in your life, God is there for you. But if we're honest, He is usually the last one we cry out to. He wants to be a part of your life, just like we are chatting now. He wants to hear your struggles and ce

It seems that just when we get comfortable, set in a routine, our constant "the change" sneaks in. Peak-a-boo! You can't get comfortable; the balancing act of family. The balancing act of family can be a full time job in itself. As you know, humans do best with routines and habits. And it's never too early to begin creating great habits.  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You can think of a few that have tuck with you over the years. Hopefully, you've let go of the bad and held onto the good. So instead of waiting until school begins, now is the time to gear up for greatness. Don't fret about shopping for the back to school supplies. However, think about the balancing act of family. What can you do to set up your family for greatness? The K.I.S.S. ~ A time for everything...Think in SEASONS! What season are you in right now for summer? What season will you be in when the fall come? When decisions need to

Who likes to talk money? Whether you're wanting to build a business, contribute to the family, or just needing to pay bills, money matters. Then add in the family (including the children), money is even more important, because everything they want requires money. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Money matters. Yet we don't seem to talk about it for fear of _____. You fill in the blank. Maybe you had a rough marriage because of money, even divorced. And if money is a tough subject, the children know it too. They feel the tension and don't know how to extinguish the fire. Money matters. We get bills not just in our mailboxes now, but via email. The companies remind you when you're 2 minutes past due. You can't escape money. Money matters. So today, I want to begin the conversation. Money Talk. It's a fact of life. And very uncomfortable to talk about. Money itself is not evil. It's our actions where we ass

When you have those days you don't feel loved, you are adored! Loved and respected deeply. Why is it as the slump becomes more profound in life, we feel less appreciated. What good am I really doing? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You know exactly what it feels like. And you might be in a slump now. Well, Woman of IMPACT, you are adored! Maybe you don't hear those words often. So let me remind you what that sounds like. What's for dinner? Can I have a sleepover? Will you go run these errands for me? Here is my Christmas list! Can I have some money to go out with my friends? Don't you think the house needs cleaning? Come here! Can I stay up a little longer? PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!!!! All the cookies are gone! You are adored!!! It's just not spoken the way we want to hear it. The translations are not the same. So today, listen in between the huffs and the puffs, the sighs and the cries, for you

Typically we start very excited about what's ahead; the new adventure, the new business opportunity. but when life gets messy, we retreat. Start strong, finish stronger. It's so easy to keep doing what you do when the feelings, emotions, and actions are all positive. We love a celebration, a party. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    But what happens when it becomes messy in the middle. The messy in the middle is where we often face our challenges, road blocks, hurdles, speed bumps, pit stops, obstacles, detours and tests. Will you make it through? YES! Start strong, finish stronger. You an be too quick to halt progress when it gets messy. Think about being a mom. If you were to give up in the middle of being a mom, raising your child...that would be chaos. It's hard to even fathom. That messy in the middle is grooming you for greatness. When you start strong, you finish stronger! If you just had the beginn

Change distorts our emotional being causing us to second guess every move we make. How the mind deceives the change. There is a cost to change! Emotional Financial Time/Schedule Relationships Freedom Psychological Mentality Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You are on the brink of making the final decision to pursue the change you want to make. You think you're there, but the questions are still lingering. You've had the opportunity to break down the gain from the change. (Episode #548) Benefits (What is the good stuff now?) Sacrifices (What are you giving up to accomplish the change?) Legacies (What is this giving you in the future?) Now that you are ready to fully commit, the war begins. This war is The Mindset War!!! It's where you move into self doubt, emotional distress, confusion, overwhelm. Then you hit the highs. You can't stop smiling. You are happy, so much that you're giddy. All the questio

When you stop long enough to ponder your life, the choices you are making everyday, what are you honestly chasing? The danger of desire; your desires.  What are you going after? The desire to be accepted, to be loved, to be admired. On a daily basis, we find ourselves making decisions based on our desires. But at the time, we don't see it that way. It's more of an innocent action taken to acquire our goals, our possessions, and our blessings we have here on earth. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Your desires help formulate the decisions you make. So today, the question to reflect upon is: How is the danger of desire affecting your life? If you were honest and real with yourself, what would be the ONE desire you long for? During your reflection time, the tears may begin to flow. Let them. You are in a vulnerable state of mind. God is chipping away at your heart drawing you closer to Him. So what is that

Let's begin the work --- Oh wait! The fun! It's the FUNdamentals of family, the building blocks. One of those building blocks is lasting joy. The cycles of being sad, made, hurt, angry, numb and even lonely need to stop. Getting up on the wrong side of the bed is too easy. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    How about a challenge to wake up with a smile? Simply sharing your love with your husband sealed with a kiss, a fresh cup of lemon water to quench your thirst and then jumping up and down to get your blood moving and the positivity flowing. This is keeping you far from getting up on the wrong side of the bed. NO more excuses. It's the beginning of living in the light and removing yourself from the darkness. You have the opportunity to create lasting joy by navigating your actions into the happy habits. Think about Tigger and Eeyore. Joy comes from the heart; it's when the heart smiles. Now joy can't be

Growing up as a child today is tough. There are so many challenges. One of the biggest challenges our children face today is 'why am I not liked?'. The fitting in and being liked begins from the time you socialize your child. Playdates. Sports teams. Dance lessons. Gymnastics. Church groups like Cubbies and Awana. Community teams like Brownies, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Then they get older and competition comes into play. Wanting to play a certain position on the team. Competition dance teams. This starts at a young age...4, 5, and 6 year olds. We're not talking about late middle school to high school. And what happens next, the parents get involved. Words are exchanged. Tempers flare. Some may think they are defending their children. When the day becomes night and kisses are being shared, the question is whispered, 'Why am I not liked?'. This is the beginning of bully

You can't always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you must dare to jump! Jump! What are you waiting for? The ground won't disappear when you're up in the air. Dare to jump!

Boom. Boom! You get the adrenaline rush. You did it! Instead, we prefer to go very easy as if walking on thin ice, waiting for the crack to appear. That rush only slows you down. What have you been wanting to do lately? In your business? With your children? For your husband? For you? Think about how many excuses you have come up with NOT to do it. What do you have to lose? NOTHING!! In fact, it may get you where you've wanted to go for months. Dare to jump! The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare to JUMP! Today, your challenge is to jump. Taking a chance on YOU!

Many people try to change everything all at once, self-inflicting chaos. When you want to impact, the power of one will always triumph over the "all in" method. With nutrition and fitness, seeing results means success. Whether it's the number on the scale or the number on the new outfit, a shift, something different, is what you're looking for. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    But this self-inflicting chaos we quickly adopt actually slow down the success because the directions scatter your focus. You're going in too many different directions expecting a change only to realize you're still stuck! One smile can start a friendship. One word can end a fight. One look can save a relationship. One person can change a life. The power of one! HEALTH STRATEGY SESSION When looking at nutrition and fitness saying to yourself, "you want something different, you want change", the power of one!

Perspective in our lives have us moving forward or backwards. Wouldn't it be amazing if you always felt energized and enthusiastic about what you've started? Wish upon a star!

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." ~ Harriet Tubman Think about what Harriet Tubman said. "You have the strength..." "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." ~ Philippians 4:13 "You have the patience..."

You want something more in your life, maybe going a new direction. Is the gain worth the change? In order to pursue your passion and purpose, it requires you to change something. With change, it requires commitment from YOU. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    The commitment comes from why do want to change --- What's holding you? Episode #541 And to understand what's holding you, you have to go back to the stories you tell yourself. Episode #534 If you are stuck telling the "old" stories, will change happen? You cannot impact without change. Change is a constant. Change challenges you to become your best selfie. Change is sacrifice. Change is investing. Change is stretching. Change is growing. Change is expanding. Change is maturing. Change is challenging. Change is impacting. Change is scary. Change is promising. Change is YOU!!! So how in the world can you answer the question, "Is the gain worth the chan

When the world seems to be delivering only the bad, overcome with good. Young children are great using their annoying affect when asking questions like why, why can't I, and please mommy, to get their way and you give in. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    As children grow older, they learn to dish it out even more. You then dish back only leading to more frustration. Instead interject with kind sweet calm whispers. Overcome with good. As a person, a woman, being right is something we want to claim. It's a natural instinct. to want to defend our opinions, our actions, our abilities. Yet as show by Jesus Christ, we are to love, serve, and overcome with good. "Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good." ~ Romans 12:21 It's easy to overcome with good with strangers, friends and even family. However, how are you with YOU? Today, it's about YOU. You need to overcome with good. The K.I.S.S. ~ Ove
