Is like to encourage you and know life can get very interesting sometimes. But, don't give up. Somehow there is strength in the rough spots. It comes from God.

I want you to know it’s okay to experience sadness, but to also find ways to deal with prolonged emotional distress. You see, sometimes our emotions erupt like a can of hot soda. It’s not that your mad about the toilet seat being left up. Instead, your angry because you simply want to be heard. It’s not that your upset that the children won’t go to sleep, it’s that you feel like you want to be in control of how you raise them. You want to be respected. Usually it’s not the last emotion that causes overwhelming emotions. There’s something else underneath the surface that is saying, “Hey, I’m still here. Let’s pay attention to this.” Let’s have a little coaching and encouragement session. I want to motivate you to shift your mindset and emotions. We’ll do an exercise to help move you forward in this area. It’s going to be pretty helpful. So grab your pen, paper or alternate writing tool. You can do this with God. Let’s get started. Help me share this message of hope with others by sharing it with your network. You never know who might need it. Here’s the link to the book I was referring to.

I’d like to share a message of hope and inspiration with you. I think we can safely say the world is in a very interesting place. Grief, job loss and financial deficit along with uncertainty can cause you to feel very unsure. It can be easy to wonder if God sees you personal struggles. He does. I know this on a personal note. During the most intense moments of my life, God never abandoned me. Instead those moments were used to increase my faith and show me of God’s undeniable love, grace and power. May the grace of God sustain you and give you peace.

Today I interacted with two business owners who shared their need to pause and to reflect on their strengths. I had to go into their DM’s and let them know how much their post resonated with me. In this works of filters and fluff which is nice for entertainment, there are moments you need to step away from it all and celebrate and embrace those vulnerable moments. Mostly, embracing God in the midst of those moments makes all of the difference in the world. Grab a cup of tea and some tissues. Let’s sit and talk.

There's so much reality tv and social media happening until some believe they can cancel your destiny, like they cancel a sitcom. Actually it's the enemy and it's not true. When the God of the universe and Heaven is on your side nothing can stop you. Nothing can stop you! I want you to learn to say, “Victory is my name.”

If you’ve ever encountered a significant loss or traumatic event it’s easy to find yourself dealing with tough emotions. This happens, but when those emotions turn into self-sabotaging belief and behavior we have to do something to heal and move forward. It may not happen overnight but faith in God can certainly help you through it. Listen chat.

Today I’ve been sharing my personal journey through narc abuse and how being intentional about my healing is helping my recovery. I know we don’t always get to pause with life, parenting, business and so on. But you owe it to yourself to heal and to be empowered for more in life. Pardon the paper turning, this mic is stronger than I thought, but this was too good to delete:-). Leave me a comment and let me know what part resonates with you.

One thing I have learned is there is a purpose to every season. Sometimes we are laughing, sometimes crying. Here's the thing absolutely nothing takes God by surprise. He knows about your WHOLE life. The struggles have made me stronger and increased my faith. How about you? Stopping by to say “Don’t give up in the middle. Flip it. Write a book. Make a course. Coach someone through the tough moments. Write a song, but don't waste the valuable lessons you have learned. Maybe it's time to flip it.

Ever knew it was time to step into something new? What held you back? You owe it to God and yourself to use those gifts. Don't hold back. Step forward.
