Have you ever used the phrase, "It's something I do best."? No matter what you do, you do it best! Phrases like this make it sound like you are settling, selling yourself short. You don't add up. You don't believe in you. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Get off the comparison trap junkie train and know who you are. I was reminded of this when I stated this one day.

If I had a magic potion for you to drink that would keep you younger, you would jump on it. But with no potion, how to stay younger longer is still the question. My daughter was chatting with her friends and co-workers. They were making comments based on the pictures they saw on Facebook. "Mom they are saying you look so young. She could be your sister." Now of course I was smiling really BIG at this point. But how to stay younger longer is the BIGGER question, especially since we aren't getting any younger (at least I'm not).  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Of course this would make any mother feel really good. But how can it help you? Here is the ONE of the secrets I use daily! The K.I.S.S. ~ Eat your FIVE a day (fruits and vegetables)! TRACK how many fruits and vegetables you are eating now. You need to know how many you are eating. You may think you are eating 5, but most of us are not! INCREASE the greens you eat -

Today is a very special day --- a day we celebrate YOU!! Happy Mother's Day! "Moms" the word! As a mother, you do so much for your family; most of which you've probably forgotten. All the little things. The last minute runs to the store. Late night projects. Activity taxi mom. Crazy sleepovers. Long talks where you hope and pray they got the message. Field trips to great adventures. and even field trips to the emergency department. Lots of pizza! And oh you can't forget "Can I have some money?" request. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You do so much, for most bringing delight and joy with a sprinkle of heartaches. Mom --- YOU make life so awesome! As you reflect on what it's been like up to this point, I want you to ponder a question.... The K.I.S.S. ~ What has motherhood given you? What blessings have you gained from being a mom? Pray for other mothers. Be grateful.  Thanks for being a superb mom! You are loved. Happy M

There are so many distractions in life. The to-do lists, children's activities, work, goals, even our spouse's schedule, that we are running from one thing to the next with no thought to enjoy the now! We are running on automatic pilot. However, you need to be present. "Enjoy the now! This is not a rehearsal." ~ Kristianne Wargo You can't rewind and replay what just happened. You MUST live life INTENTLY. Having a purpose. Even driving on the roads. Enjoy the NOW! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT We miss so much when our heads are buried in the sand --- or our focus is just to get through the day. You will have those days. But don't let that become a habit.  Enjoy the NOW! "If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the the present...gratefully." ~ Maya Angelou The K.I.S.S. ~ Enjoy the NOW! Stop just getting through the day. Liv

Why won't my child talk to me? Communication is an essential tool to building strong relationships. How do you speak to your child? Are you a momma who slams the door in their face? Only wanting to talk when it's convenient for you.  Yes! This is what a lot of us do, even in our marriages. War of words. You want to carry on the longer conversation after your husband has worked a long 10-12 hour day; a he would rather not. And then you get upset.  A conversation involves more than one person. You talking to yourself is an internal dialogue. If you want to build up your communication with your child, you must be willing to learn how to. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT  As much as we think we know how to converse, we rarely put any energy or concentrated effort into learning the skills needed to grow. "We don't converse with our children (our spouses); we attack, we demand. We expect a certain response from them based on what

As much as we would like to have an entourage cheering us on, it's probably not likely unless your a movie star. Be your own champion! Now that can be good or bad.  Why give it only to movie stars? You are a movie star in your life. You have the leading role. You play the leading part! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You don't need an entourage to be our own champion. You are a champion! "Champions keep playing until they get it right." ~ Billy Jean King Practice makes progress! What can you do to be your own champion? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be your own CHAMPION! Guard your thoughts. No negative nellies. Don't go down the negative rabbit hole. Leave the self doubt in the freezer. And watch your language. Use phrases like "I can" or "I am willing to". Celebrate your little wins. All little wins like getting up without hitting the snooze button. Drinking your water. Walking 10,000 steps. Every little win adds up to massive impact.

Life is beautiful. But with beauty comes resistance. Is resistance good or bad? It's probably something that we don't think a lot about. And resistance isn't usually the topic of discussion around the dinner table. Instead we talk about how hard a situation is and what we don't like about it. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But in order to grow, learn, and be stretched so you can impact and live your life with a smile and more joy --- resistance needs to be discussed and embraced.  Embracing resistance! Talk about weird or strange; embracing resistance. It brings about an uncomfortable feeling. We don't want to leave our comfort zone. Is resistance good or bad? Resistance is good!!! Resistance allows you to become stronger with who you are. Resistance helps to shape and mold you. "Resistance catapults you to the next level of greatness. Resistance stretches you beyond the normality of life. Resistance is a blessing in disg

Words have power. Not just what you are saying to yourself, but what you hear from others. The words you hear from music, television, books, social media, friends, family,co-workers, and strangers. Today you need to word up! Be aware of what you are allowing your ears to hear. Be aware of what you are telling yourself. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women ofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT What words are you surrounding yourself with? Think about your vocabulary. This impacts not only you, but those around you. Word up! What was the last sentence you spoke? Maybe you don't remember. Or did it have something like "I can't" or "Don't do" or "How could you?". All of these put you on the defense. Let go of these words. Women of Impact, successful mompreneurs and entrepreneurs, allour mommies, stay at home mommies, you use words that build up,prepare one for greatness. The K.I.S.S. ~ WordUP! Instead of "I can't", say "I am notwilling to". Word up! It will begin to st

How to make you a priority is a challenging event everyday. You have so many responsibilities and feel guilty if you aren't taking care of someone else beside yourself. You need to be a priority in your life. But women tend not to. Instead, you run quickly to take care of others' needs before your own. That can be detrimental to your health and well-being. You need time to refresh your spirit. You are quick to say, "I can't make myself a priority. I feel guilty. And well, it's not me." You cling to the super woman syndrome.  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT However, you are doing yourself an injustice. You are hurting not only you, but your loved ones. You can't be your best when running on half empty. When your heart is empty, so are your actions and dreams. You aren't the priority. So how to make you a priority? You need to get in the joy zone! The K.I.S.S. ~ Upgrade your CHOICES in the JOY Zone! Choose ONE thing a day

You are always taking care of someone else. Your spouse. Your children. Your boss. Your family. Your friends. What about you? How do you want to feel? Today is Sweet Spirit Sunday. A day to reflect on your needs and bring refreshment to your spirit.  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT So how do you want to feel? Are you enjoying the "on the go" feeling, high-strung pressure, the must be super woman! Or would it be refreshing to just breathe? Surrender the control. YIKES! Surrender. That's tough to swallow. It's easier to be in control. We do it everyday. Taking care of the family, all those domestic beauties (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting), meal planning and cooking the meals, grocery shopping. We ARE in control. Maybe too much of a control freak even if it's not in our personality type. This makes it tough to surrender. What would happen if you focused on what you could control --- not focusing on the outcomes? What w

How we feel and go through life is a choice. You can choose to be mad or sad. Just as happiness is a choice.  How you get up in the morning. What is the first thought?  "Oh my! It's Monday. I wish it was Friday." Or... "This is a beautiful day. Let's get this adventure going!" Regardless of the tone in your voice, your words set the tone of your day for you and your family. People feed off of you. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT So if happiness is a choice, how do you define happiness? You might say appreciation, support, money, morning workouts (me time) or feeling loved. These are great, but circumstantial. They can't be a constant in life. The only constant in life you have is CHANGE. When happiness is a choice, how do you find it? You can make the right choices in the midst of the storms (bad feelings). It's all about changing your perspective from "have to" to "get to". The K.I.S.S. ~ Make a perspective shift today!

Can you have it all in life? This is a stumping and stumbling question especially for women. The simple answer is YES!!! Now some of you might be saying there's no way, and others might think "well why not?". Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Many women are in search for this even now after being in the "real world" for years. You may be feeling that something is missing. You want more. Can you have it all in life? Yes you can; however there is more to this answer. It's a simple yes, but the "how to do it" is what varies for each of you. What do the steps look like? How would taking this path change your direction? What would you need to do differently? This is why having a coach is important. You can figure out your path. The sweet part of all of this. You can have your cake and eat it too. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make your life a layered C.A.K.E.! C = CONNECT Knowing who you are. Love your reflection. Be present in the moments.

One thing that blows my mind is how much we let others control how we should feel about ourselves. It's time you own it! Own you! We let others do this through comparison and competition. And then you find yourself thinking (or even saying), "Maybe I'm not cut out to do this. Who am I to do this?". Do you realize that you are out of this world amazing? You have SO many gifts and talents, yet you are afraid to OWN IT! Instead you make up excuses why you aren't where you think you should be so you don't have to really work as hard to get there. Strategic planning for others to win. Does that seem fair to you? NO WAY!! It's time you OWN IT! Own your thoughts. Own your talents. Own your greatness. Own YOU!!! You are the only YOU in this world. Why settle and let others dictate their opinions how you should be you?  The K.I.S.S. ~ Own it!   Would love to hear what you are working on. Send your challenges and celebrations to yourbestselfie@createyournow.com   Serious about walking in your greatness and making some

What you can do to have the greatest impact in your life is one basic fundamental that will take you and your life to the next level? Do you want to level up? Get ahead.  Join other Women of Impact here on Facebook. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You need to do what the other 95% aren't doing. The basic fundamental of life, one of the pillars, is NUTRITION!  What you fuel your body with reflects and affects all 5 senses (taste, see, hear, touch, smell). Nutrition is an integral part of your body. "You need food to survive, but fuel to thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo As a Woman of Impact, you need to understand how food, something so simple, can be so detrimental to your health if not used wisely. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fuel your body with premium goodness! Eat REAL food. Food in its most natural state. Protein at every meal EVERY time you eat. Vegetables are your BFFs! Enjoy unlimited amounts especially the green ones. Eat in season. Limit your starches from morning to early afternoon. Drink WATER! (Minimum of 64 oz a d

What happens to you when life throws you a foul ball? Do you quickly cover you head hoping not to get hit. Or do you look up and go for the catch? BELIEVE!  Believe is a verb. That means it's a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence forming the main part of the predicate of the sentence (like hear, become, happens, BELIEVE). Sometimes we want to live out our dreams, our passions. But circumstances don't always lend us the opportunity to do so. So what? Take A.I.M. and BELIEVE! Believe in you. Believe in what you are doing. Believe in who you are becoming. Believe you can accomplish it. Believe you will impact. BELIEVE!!! Write down the word YOU. Now draw a heart around it. Write the word BELIEVE somewhere near or in the heart. Believe in you! The K.I.S.S. ~ Believe! Remember BELIEVE is a verb. It requires you to take action. To move forward in your mind, body and spirit. Believe! *Guest Music Used By Permission with license from BMI.com* In Summer by Josh Gad, Frozen (Original Motion Picture So

How is your life going? Is it exceeding all your expectations? Today, you will learn how to live life with a full heart and live an abundant life.  Watching and listening to people has brought about a heavy heart for me. We are trying to do life by filling it with stuff, because we feel empty.  It's like going shopping on an empty stomach. Your cart becomes filled with anything and everything. There's no rhyme to your madness. Just stuff! You can only use bandaids for so long in life. In fact, bandaids aren't made that big; but we try and make them bigger. Only to find out we are still empty. Live life with a full heart is what you need in order to be a woman of impact! You were created on purpose, for a purpose. There's no time for superficiality! Throw that out the window! You want to EXCEED at life and live life with a full heart! The K.I.S.S. ~ Envelop your day with the 3 E's! EXPLORE - See the world through the eyes of a child! EDUCATE - Grow your mind, always learning. Expand your knowledge for your se

Life can be amazing; but it can also destroy your will to live. How do you live above your circumstances? In order to be an overcomer, you have to work with the greatest of all --- God Himself! Trying to will your way through life only leaves you tired, worn and torn. You feel like you've run into a brick wall or hit by the semi-truck. You feel helpless and hopeless. You try filling your tank with premium...the best things money can buy, organic foods, labeled clothing. But at the end of the day, you find yourself running on empty. Growing up I had the opportunity to be a part of a black gospel church. My father was stationed to this church and we were the only white family. This was the BEST experience ever. Not only did I understand the idea of being in the minority, but I understood what it was to learn about God deeper with such focus and energy. Pretty incredible. One treasured moment in my life! You see, I learned how to fill up my spirit with Jesus Christ. By joining the ranks of Jesus Christ, your spi

Finding that spark everyday that says --- it feels so good to be alive! What does that look like for you? Joy in the ordinary. Are your expectations that things always have to be extra special? The prom and wedding type of special. The holidays with decorations. Or did you ever thing joy in the ordinary is just as special?  Your puppy dog. A clean kitchen. Drools. Watching television. Brushing your teeth. What can you find joy in? The little things. Don't think about life as having to be a BIG event.  "When we begin to find joy int he ordinary, you begin to find living your life extraordinary!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Find JOY in the Ordinary! Smile and find joy in the ordinary which will make you extraordinary.   Would love to hear what you are working on.

Life would be boring if it was lived perfectly. And confessions of an upset mama is the opportunity to live and learn; be there or be square. My youngest comes running into our bedroom asking me to see this. He was super excited to show me his new game and the recent update. Up on the bed he jumps, smiling from ear to ear. He begins to share what is happening on his tablet, while looking over his left shoulder to see if I'm paying attention. Well I had my phone, pen and book. And yes, working on something for you. But I was looking at what he wanted, just with my peripheral vision.  For about 95 seconds, I was the worst mama ever! I wasn't engaged how he expected me to be. But to me, I saw exactly what was going on. How the little worm became bigger as he ate other things. (A fun game called Mitosis.) Finally it hit me! How he wanted me engaged into the conversation was not what I was giving him. I had failed! I quickly put my pen down, phone away, and became present with him.  Relationships are the way you I

So today is your rainy day. Lots of responsibilities that must get done regardless of how you feel. But you don't really want to. Bring it on! Are your moments in life defined by your general daily emotions? You know when you get up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe a bad hair day. We can't let our emotions control our day and get the best of us. Mind over matter.  "Mind over anything that give you an excuse less than who you are." ~ Kristianne Wargo When you allow the emotions to rule your day, you've fallen into the trap.  Let's get out of the trap! Bring it on! You are a warrior. A conquerer of your journey. Some battles will be easy --- changing the sheets, wiping a runny nose (gross I know), going through a drive-thru for your favorite coffee drink, mocha latte. Some battles will be long and hard, even with heavy heartache and possible blood shed. Bring it on! The good. The bad. The ugly. You are a warrior. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take the Superhero pose! Feet slightly wider than hip width a part. Hands on you
