Take the L

In a matter of hours, the clock upon the wall will strike twelve, and we will find our way into 2021 whether we are excited about starting the year or not. In this episode, I recounted the story of Cinderella. When the clock struck twelve, Cinderella had to be ready to go. Will you be ready when the clock strikes twelve tonight to grab change by the horns? I know you may be feeling like the odds are stacked against you, but hope will move on your behalf. At the appointed time, what you have been waiting for will come to pass when your clock strikes twelve. May hope and faith be your guideposts as you maneuver through 2021. No matter how ugly things get in and around your world, find what is beautiful there. Wishing you all things beautiful for 2021.

All the hard times and the dark places of our lives point us to hope and renewal; but only if we go through our process. If I remember correctly, all the dross must be scooped out of the gold to make it perfect. When the dross is all gone, the refiner knows the gold is ready. He can now see his reflection in the gold. Our lives are no different than this process. The path to your life’s higher purpose may be daunting and arduous, but only in the crucible of sacrifice real change happens. This is a process you cannot pray away, wish away, or skip. In trials, we are perfected, not in safe or comfort zones.

Imagine burning both ends of your candle, only to come to the end and discover that you have done nothing in the direction of your own pursuits and dreams. You have, out of obligation, carelessly given away too much of you. You have given others one hundred percent of your effort only to be left feeling a little drained, frustrated, and bitter. ARE YOU EVERYONE’S HERO, but your very own villain? Who do you go to when you feel depleted?

In this week’s episode, I will talk about how to show up for yourself wholeheartedly. Learn some practical steps for how you can show up for yourself, set boundaries, and come back to center, your safe space.

Xoxo,

Ever been in a hard place, a dry season, a time when nothing makes sense? Well, this message is for you. A desert place is the place where you face your problems, whatever they are, head on. It is the place where you find out your limitations, your strengths, who is with you for the long haul and who is not. It can be a very lonely place, where even well-meaning loved ones cannot travel with you. Do accept the call to action! Let patience have its perfect way with you. Do not rush through your process.

May you reemerge from your desert place renewed, courageous, undaunted, and filled with hope to make this world a better place. May you find yourself and God.

XOXO, Juniper

Readjust, restart, realign, but don’t you quit. Don’t forego any opportunity to make lemonade from the lemons life throws at you. 

Change begins in your mind. Begin your ascent to a positive mental attitude. I know you can, and I hope you know it too. 

Be blessed.

Kindness never goes unnoticed. You may not get instant rewards for you acts of generosity and love; but somewhere deep inside the heart of someone you have touched lies the seeds of kindness. The world needs you in all your authentic expression. Be a beacon of hope, light and love. I am honored to share this story of how kindness has changed my life. May you be prompted to be a conduit of hope. 

Let’s pay kindness forward. 

Xoxo, Juniper

Have you ever had a deep cry for help? I am talking about an SOS. Are frustrations hanging a dark cloud over your head? I have created this episode to let you know that you will be sent all the help you need. More than you know, you have a reservoir of resolve and strength on the inside of you. Look to the people and the things which somehow help you to see that there will come a brighter tomorrow. Rest but don't you ever quit. Let endurance complete its perfect work in you. If this episode brought you perspective, please share with someone you think might need a nudge. May hope become your friend. Until next time, XOXO, Juniper.
