What speaks self confidence into your heart? Who speaks words of love, affirmation, and confidence into the deepest parts of your soul?  As women, it seems like from the day we are born we need to live up to a certain standard. Obviously at infancy it isn’t terrible, but it doesn’t take long for the…
Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? Often women grow up looking in the mirror with the desire to change everything about ourselves. We look at magazines, tv, and all the media that surrounds us and compare ourselves  to what we see. We find a huge lacking within ourselves of…
As most of you know, I am obsessed with the book The Go-Giver. I have been challenged in many ways to step up my game and give more than I ever thought I could. I have been challenged to serve with the attitude of gratitude, rather than serve because I had to.  I have seen a…
Good morning my favorite friends! Friday is here again, I can hardly believe how fast the days have been flying. The challenge that I have been to sharing, Flowering a Friend, has become an amazing blessing to me and I love seeing it multiply every week. Why flowers? Well there are a couple reasons… How…
Most people who went to church today celebrated Palm Sunday. The Sunday that leads into the one of the most recognized weeks in the church. I had this thought yesterday- what if I knew today, that on Friday my life would be taken from me in horrible, brutal, and humiliating way?  What would I do with that…
“Sometimes you feel foolish, even look foolish, but you do the thing anyway” The Go-Giver Last Thursday was a GREAT day! We became official homeowners by buying our own lawn mower. To some, mowing the lawn is an inconvenience and a pain in the bum. For me it is a stress reliever, and one that…
Friday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week. It isn’t because it leads into a nice relaxing weekend of hanging around the house and catching up on sleep. As a matter of fact, the weekends are our busiest time as a family. We spend most of our Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays serving at…
Right now I am sitting on my porch swing, drinking a cup of hot yummy coffee, and listening to the birds sing.  As I sit here I think How blessed am I? I look around and I see things that I always dreamed would be a part of my life, but I don’t know that I…
Have you ever gone to a restaurant and had absolutely terrible service?  You know, that one night where you pay a babysitter, wait over an hour for a table when they told you 20-30 minutes, only to finally be seated and to be served by the waitress who can’t keep up with her table and keeps bringing you a…
As most of you know my husband is on staff at a church. We have now been serving in the ministry for about 7 years and in 3 different churches. When I met Mark I knew that I would love to be his wife and partner in ministry. I grew up in the church and…
This is a 2 part series 🙂 And somewhat of a soap box, even more so a lifestyle change. About 4 weeks ago I challenged my team to start thinking more about giving and making that a part of their daily life. We started off by writing 7 cards to 7 people in 7 days….
Are you giving more in value than what you take in payment? I have been spending the last week listening my newest discovery: audio books on my iPhone. I had heard a lot of people talk about the book The Go-Giver, so I thought I would give it a whirl. It didn’t take long for…
How much hot air do you think we waste talking about others? As a woman, I can say with confidence, that I LOVE to talk. Sometimes it is important, sometimes it is just to hear my own voice 🙂 We women love to talk about everything and nothing all at the same time. In our…
As much as I love the christmas season, my heart craves the lenten season even more. I love the holidays with the hustle and bustle. The getting together with friends and family and sharing meals and time together. But the Lenten season is a totally different feeling. This is the time of year where I…
Growing up I didn’t have a healthy relationship with my dad, and even at 28 I would say I don’t know him very well. There were many times as a kid where I wondered what it would be like to have a loving/affectionate kind of relationship with my dad. I often looked at my good…
It is so easy to give our opinions on what we think people should change. Â To criticize someone’s words, actions, or even thoughts. Often we like to voice our opinions when we feel we know more than someone or have the better answer. Â In the end, people WILL have different opinions. It is how we…
It is so easy in todays society to get swept up into the whirling tornado of our day to day lives. It doesn’t sound as glamorous when you throw the words whirling tornado in there. Somewhere over the last couple decades we have slowly faded out of personal relationships to technology relationships. As people get…
As I think about my business and the blessings that have come from it, I remember how reluctant I was to get on board with Direct Sales. As most of you know I was very hesitant to Scentsy and skeptical that it had any potential to be anything more than a little money to feed my candle…
Yesterday I ventured down to Kentucky for Scentsy’s Spring Sprint. I had been terribly sick the day before and it seemed that all odds were against me to go. Despite the very few hours of sleep I got, when my alarm clock went of at 6:30 am I sprang out of bed ready to take…
I love the new facebook timeline because I can look at each month and see how things have changed and grown. I thought I would share some of the great things I experienced over the last year. January: I can’t believe my baby is 3!!!! I got the privilege to worship with some amazing teens…
