Y’all know I start the year with a vision board, right? I also got on the Vision 101 course, by Terri Savelle Foy. I have to admit the Vision 101 course is fabulous and it’s shaking my world.

Last year I was doing my hour of power by 20 minutes of reading or listening to something motivational, 20 minutes of journaling and hearing the Father’s voice, and 20 minutes of exercise.

So, Marty and I decided to join Planet Fitness in the town next to us which is a wonderful place. The price is right, it truly is a “no judgment zone,” and they have these little extras after you exercise like the water massage, a vibration booth with ultra violet rays, and tanning for the people that want it.

My new dilemma is to figure out how I can do this hour of power first thing in the morn with driving to the gym, working out, and driving home included. I was exercising with YouTube before. Two times this week Marty went ahead to the gym and I stayed home and did things my old way. I asked him if he missed me at the workout and he said that he likes it when I go.

I have to dig a little deeper and go for a little more change now. I am thinking that if I get EarPods, Earbuds, Airbuds, or Airpods for my Bluetooth on my phone and go ahead and get unlimited data on my phone, then I can kill one of the twenty minute things while I am doing my exercise at the gym, and do the journaling before I leave to go exercise in the morn.

It’s ok to change things up a bit, because lots of times if we don’t change things, we get stuck in a plateau in our weight and in our workout. Change is good!

At first change seems hard, but it is always good to be stretched out of our comfort zone. It makes us feel fulfilled in the process. Whatever you do, don’t resist change.

There is good, and there is better! What I was doing before was good. But what I am getting ready to do is going to be better. There are also some new connections and exciting things starting to come our way and I will be sharing them soon.

Another goal I have for this year is to send a blog out once a week. They should–I mean WILL— be coming out every Friday. That is called accountability and actually so is my working out with Marty.

Accountability and Change are good!

•I will be accountable!

•I will change.

•I will have a good attitude while I am doing it!

•I challenge you to do it too!

•We got this!

•See you soon!

Restored to Bloom

“Reclaim” is my word for this year and it’s fun to watch as the little things start coming about. Reclaim means to retrieve or recover. It also means to cultivate.

We can see that it is a new season for us. Things are shifting and changing. It’s been over a year since we moved on from “Agape House” a ministry helping kids in a small town near us. They come in on Wednesdays after school, get fed a meal, and have a worship. It’s a great place and God has helped many troubled kids that have come through the doors.

It was time for other things for us at and we went and got trained in Texas and also got freedom for ourselves in Texas from life traumas and hurts that we’ve been through.

After I heard Terri Savelle Foy’s Youtube video the earlier this week, I knew that I needed to vamp up my exercise program, I was starting to lag a bit.

We just got a new Planet Fitness in our area and Marty and I decided to stop procrastinating and go join. We went in and did just that!

What I have seen is that when I take a drastic action, things start flowing in. The next day I got a text that someone from Agape House wanted to meet and talk to us. We had all kinds of thoughts and were real curious about it.

Finally the day came to talk to them and they presented their need. A young boy 13 is in need, he needs someone to come alongside of him and just “love” him. Yes we can do that! We thought we would have to pray and think about what they needed us to do, but, “Yes!” What a blessing and an honor to be approached with this.

This is where my word Reclaim comes into play. This place is a place that is very dear to my heart. We get to go back and reclaim some territory there.

Any seeds that we sow are never wasted. Even any seeds we sow into our own lives are never wasted in helping other lives. I love the way it works. When we make a move to get out of our own stuck place and it leads to getting others unstuck every time! It’s not all about us it’s about helping others!

Let’s try to get ourselves in a strong place so we can help others! Think about your word for this year… have you picked one? How can it line up with your superpower?

Can’t make this stuff up!

It’s so fun!

You can do this too!

See you soon!

After speaking about FOMO I came to some terms;

This is a place where we are a lot. Especially if we experience lots of change, which I have. I sat down yesterday and journaled and prayed about some things and actually contacted some of the people that I hadn’t seen or talked to in a while. Much to my surprise I got some wonderful replies back. The relationships are still there, it has just changed, for now. Change can be hard but it’s also good and causes growth.

One thing that never changes is my Heavenly Father’s love for me, He’s always there.

As I journaled, all of the i’s got dotted and the t’s got crossed. The answers to questions were answered and the reasons for why were understood. Amazing peace came to me that money can’t buy and nothing else can compare to.

Things got placed in proper perspective and some of the losses I was feeling were actually gain of something new. Anything that we experience has a silver lining if we still ourselves, listen, find our thoughts, and journal.

People seem to be running from this still place. Finding every which way to fill up those questions we have, with whatever we can find, besides sitting down to stillness, pondering and facing what is going on.

Are we afraid to face what is real? Are we afraid that the outcome won’t be good? The only way the outcome is not good is if we try to control. We are not in control. When we let go is when we get free.

I’m grateful that I am a right brain person. That’s the side of the brain that goes with the flow. Even left brain people can become more right brain. It comes from the things I mentioned before; still ourselves, listen, find our thoughts, and journal. That’s it, that’s what I’m learning how to prompt people to do.

It has always helped me and I know it helps others. People just need a little help doing it, especially left brain people because they are always planning and trying to work things out. Not lots of spontaneity and flow in their lives.

Feelings are ok too, by the way. Feelings are great, even if they hurt. They are really there and they need to be acknowledged and dealt with so they don’t show up and hinder us in other ways.

If you feel the need, we love to help people sort out some of these things. We offer free half hour sessions to help you find freedom from what’s tripping you up. Also if you would like to read more, my ebook is now $.99 on Amazon

I’ve been hearing lots about this FOMO. First I had to look it up, I thought it was similar to BOGO…. but not so much.

From what I’ve seen FOMO is about fear of missing out of something that is on social media. Wow that is something that didn’t exist when I was younger. We didn’t even know some of the other things that were going on. I know there have been days where I’ve been invited so many different directions that I could get sad thinking I was not able to go to everything.

I have had to seriously realize that I do not have to be involved in everything that is going on and I do not have to be close friends with Everyone. It is literally impossible. I don’t put lots of things on my FB timeline because I don’t like people feeling left out! I know that’s probably just as insane as seeing things posted and feeling left out.

The truth is, that because of things and places that I have had to let go of, sometimes I see what certain groups of people are doing, I feel sad and left out. I have had to go through a season of knowing who my tribe is and not feeling bad if that is not Everyone.

This means that “what you are all about” attracts your tribe. Which also means if they are not attracted to what you are all about, then they aren’t your tribe. We can have lots of acquaintances but your tribe is your tribe. The ones that you don’t have to change yourself for to fit in! The ones that you feel at home with.

I am thankful that the people from my tribe are encouraging because I have had to go through a quiet time to be able to create. You could almost feel isolated if you don’t have a few people contacting you cheering you on! I hope that you all have people like that! It’s way more important for me to have that than a large gathering of people where I can’t seem to fit.

This morning someone from my tribe called me and said there are many 3 leaf clovers but people are always looking for the 4 leaf clovers… those are the ones that are different and unique. There haven’t been a whole lot of places that I just fit into easily so I’ve finally seen that when I find it, I don’t have to keep trying to follow the crowd or find where I fit. We just can’t be everywhere and we just can’t please everyone and if we don’t it’s ok…. we will please someone!

I’m glad to be here creating content that I’m created to do, and if I get a little wounded I know how to work on a heart wound or I know how to not have false expectations from others… I just be grateful of my tribe and I just bloom where I am planted!”

Find your tribe!

They are the best!

They aren’t everywhere!

But they are there!

You deserve it!

Don’t give up until you do!

See you soon!

We had our vision board gathering and it was a fabulous birthing of dreams and new goals for the year ahead. It’s not just a bunch of hype to me, it’s the real deal!

As much as we’ve been sowing into others, I need some watering coming back to me. I got on a new course and it is so encouraging and inspiring to me.

We can never stop learning and growing. I am on a course Vision 101 with Terry Savelle Foy and in the first module we quiet ourselves everyday for 21 days and just imagine. This is bringing such momentum for me. And it goes right along with our vision boards.

It takes some action on our part to bring momentum and change into our lives! Already, halfway into the 21 days, I’m already getting the plan and dream coming to me about a course that we will be offering. I encourage you to take time to sit down and dream and journal your thoughts. There are special seeds in all of us that need to be watered to sprout and grow into big dreams and goals and plans.

These seeds are in EVERYONE! Not just a few people. Once we start taking some new action, it starts a spark in us to move in a little different direction. A freshness, a newness takes place and we become unstuck!

If it’s going to be, it is up to us to make the decision for change and do it. Small baby steps can produce big results! Dream big and find the ways to step toward these dreams! I’m coming up with more stories everyday about the way that when I write things down it comes forth!

You can do it to!

Try it for 21 days!

5 minutes of quiet to journal what you imagine!

It’s not crazy, it’s real!

More things coming!

See you soon!
