7 Self-Love Activities Every Mom Needs In Her Life!
The Importance of Self-Love For Moms “Self-Love” is a popular term that we all hear on social media, on T.V., or in our day-to-day lives. But what is self-love, and why should you incorporate a self-love activity into your routine. Well, I decided to go on good-ole Webster’s Dictionary for the official meaning! On the Merriam-Webster (huh… I never knew the full name, lol) website, self-love is defined as: “an appreciation of one’s own worth or virtue” and “proper regard for and attention to one’s own happiness or well-being.” Furthermore the Bible reminds us that: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that…

Goals, Goals….So Many Goals
Goals…we all have them right? We strive to attain them. Sometimes we accomplish them. Sometimes we fall short at achieving them. Many of us have multiple goals floating in our minds throughout our day. Our goals can be as complex as figuring out how to buy a house with limited funded, or as “simple” as planning to get all the kids to bed no matter what! Lol We have goals related to relationships, work/career, fitness, friendships, money, homeownership, applying values, spirituality, and the list goes on and on. I don’t know about you, but the challenge I encounter is not so much about having goals, it’s more about completing the…

The Importance of Authentically Praying for Others
Are You Following Through When You Say You Will Pray For Others? When you tell someone “Praying for you,” do you actually pray for them? It may feel like the right thing to say or type under a sad or tragic post, but do you follow through? I realized some time ago that I was not. Often when a friend or family member expressed grief, financial challenges, relationship issues, or identified symptoms of depression and anxiety- my automatic response would be to say or text “praying for you.

Perspective: What lens are you using to view your life?
What Lens Are You Using To View Your Life? I used to feel that I was working towards some all encompassing life goal that would meet all my needs. The “happily ever after” stage of life. Once I finished school, my failures would be erased. Once I got the perfect job, then all my financial problems would go away. I think I’m the only teenager that couldn’t look forward to retirement. I mean, I really did. Who thinks that way?! I honestly felt that retirement equated to peace, complete attainment of all of my life goals, and total happiness. It’s so easy to focus on a future possibility of peace…

Achieving Peace In Your Life: Even When Life Sucks
You know how children get asked from a very young age, ” What do you want to be when you grow up?” For some odd reason, we expect these little, adorable people to have their lives planned out by age 7. Kids put up with adults and come up with a profession that they think sounds fun or cute, probably so that we can leave them alone lol. Seriously though…who came up with this question for kids??? 🤔 Well, I don’t know about you but my ultimate dream has always been to achieve “peace.” I wasn’t always sure of what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew…
