Opening Bible verse: Genesis 3:19

I'm still vacuuming up pine needles from the Christmas tree and now it's almost Lent!  Yikes!

Ok, ladies, let's not let Lent get away from us. Let's go into this most Hole Season with some intention.  In today's episode, I'll talk about why we receive ashes and why Lent is 40 days. Most importantly, I'll give you some easy tips and tricks to get the most out of Lent this year.  I'm also offering a group accountability prayer program that will allow us to journey through Lent together and emerge renewed in faith and strength and ready to do whatever God is calling us to do.

Here are the details of the Lent 2023 Accountability Group:

$20 (hopefully this is just enough to get you out of bed!)

5am EST daily rosary, live each weekday of Lent

Daily accountability for your Lenten promises to include:

Declutter 1 item per day

Track daily spending

Give up one thing that tempts you

Add one daily action item in fitness, fun, or friendship

I'll try to keep each morning to 30 minutes. 

***Don't worry if you don't know how to pray the rosary, an instruction sheet will be emailed to you along with a daily tracker sheet.

Also in this episode I mentioned blowing out eggs to be made into cascarones and used for Easter Sunday morning egg hunt. You can watch this video to see how our family keeps this tradition alive:

Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together?  

 Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it!  Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job.  When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck.  In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes.  You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time.  Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items.  Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean.  5 minutes will make a difference! Set your prayer intention to unite your work with Him, pop in this podcast, and set your reward.  Let's get started

Opening Bible passage: John 16:33

Do you get them too?  One tiny thought that might start off as a happy thought but very quickly spirals out of control into this downward negative path?  I never realized that other people experienced this as well.  Over the years, I've figured out a way to help myself stop these thoughts and flip them on their heads!  It's easy, fast and it's worked for me for years. 

We can't stop the thoughts that pop into our heads but we can stop the spiral and we can take back the control. Well....with the help of God, of course.  Give today's episode a listen and see if this could work for you too.  

God bless,

Gina

Opening Bible verse: Proverbs 25:27

We are three weeks into 2023.  Did you set a resolution to eat better, to lose weight, to get out of debt, to save more money?  How's it going?

In today's episode I talk about how you can achieve all these dreams...without the all or nothing mentality.  Traditional diets and debt busting strategies can lead to a scarcity mindset and feeling of deprivation.  Deprivation is not sustainable.  So how can you achieve your goals while enjoying the journey?  Tune in to hear my tips and tricks for a new way of life.

Opening Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40

When our pantries are cluttered and disorganized, we waste time, energy and money. The easier it is to see what we own, the faster we can plan our meals and the less tempted we will be to order takeout.  

Organizing your pantry is a lot like organizing your wardrobe.  We begin with decluttering the "Old School" stuff.  Stuff that's so old you don't remember buying it.  It's probably expired or stale.  Toss it!

Next, declutter the items that are "New With Tags". You bought it, but not sure you will ever eat it.  Not sure what came over you in the grocery store.  I call this tuition. You paid a price, you learned a lesson. Move on.

Lastly, you will declutter your "Fantasy Self" pantry items.  Perhaps you were inspired by a recipe and bought all the fancy ingredients for a meal you never prepared.  The longer you've held onto these items, the less likely you will actually make it.  Again, it's okay, let it go.

Now is time for the fun part! All the pretty jars, bins and baskets! I'll talk you through it all!
