Getting older is not something most of us look forward to. Learning how to feel younger and do more would enhance your lifestyle. Get ready for some simple secrets in how to feel younger and do more. Age is viewed as negative - getting older. However, what if you could actually do more in life as you age? What is it that gives you permission to let age define your ability? You are already trying to become younger from the outside in... The uses of creams on your face. Make-up to hide the fine lines and wrinkles. Technology to rid your body of wrinkles and extra fat. Clothing that is "the style" of the season. What's your reflection of your mind, body and spirit from the inside out? "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." ~ Unknown "Every year earned is wisdom gained from experience." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to learn what FUELS YOU! What INSPIRES YOU! The K.I.S.S. ~ Challenge YOUR mind, body and spirit! Eat REAL food and hydrate with water. Limit intake of unnecessary medications. Increase your fresh f

Do you find yourself hiding. Not wanting to reveal the little imperfections. Building up the walls that no one can see through. Motivate, if we're honest. The barricades of life you see as protection. But they are only holding you back from the goodness of life. To keep going, be inspired and motivated we must acknowledge and recognize the hurts and heartaches. Real and honest. This brings about inspiration. Motivate if we're honest. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be honest with yourself!   If We're Honest by Francesca Battistelli  Truth is harder than a lie The dark seems safer than the light And everyone has a heart that loves to hide I'm a mess and so are you We've built walls nobody can get through Yeah, it may be hard, but the best thing we could ever do, ever do Bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine 'Cause love can heal what hurt divides And mercy's waiting on the other side If we're honest If we're honest Don't pretend to be something that you're not Living life afraid of getting caught There is freedom found w

Are you struggling with finding a daily routine that works for you and your family? Wanting to stop the struggle of daily routines. How can you do it? You tried to adopt routines that hold you not only to your goals, but to the goals of your family. It's a tough job and a juggling act. No one ever told you that when you grow up, you're main job would be a juggler. But that is how it feels most of the time. You throw up two, three, or four things, and hope they land where you want them to. Unfortunately, that is usually the outcome. You know how incredibly full your life is. Busy is always your hello! What can you do to stop the struggle of daily routines? The K.I.S.S. ~ Clear the Clutter and Simplify! Trash the clutter Tangible and Commitments If you didn't have it/commit to it, what would be missing? You must have a compelling reason; otherwise this may not be right during this season of life. Begin to understand the power of NO. Simplify to the Bare Necessities What can you do in a frame of mind which

You can't help but get excited for something new. However, when it doesn't work, it's not so fun. What have you tried lately and failed? It's NOT a fail. Quite the opposite. It's a success! Do you know how many times it takes to succeed? As many chances you are willing to give yourself. The quickest way to failure is when you don't succeed; you don't try again. So what have you tried lately and failed? You need to look at this area so you better understand what doesn't work. You desire to be successful. Le't use what you've tried lately and failed to enhance, ignite and explode your success rate! "Habits are hard to break and hard to make." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Use your FAILS to improve your SUCCESSES! Define FAILURE. Recognize the similarities of the inconsistencies, the PATTERN. Accept the failures and inconsistencies releasing the negative energy. LET IT GO! "You must LET IT GO! Otherwise your success is defined by your failures." ~ Kristianne Wargo Define SUCCESS. Refocus your energy to W

Love is a verb requiring action. When you said "I do", you were saying that you're accepting the commitment to take action on your love, sharing your heart, your time, your possessions, your dreams, your life. Today, give the ultimate valentine. "Wherever you are spiritually, whatever you have been through emotionally, you are already wrapped in the Lord's embrace. Held close by nail-scarred hands. Enfolded in the arms of One who believes in you, supports you, treasures you and loves you." ~ Liz Curtis Higgs Love is taken for granted. And on these "unofficial" holidays, we are reminded how we are to love. Love is a verb. Love is action. God did the same for you. He made a commitment to love in action when He created you. What if Valentine's Day was everyday? Christ sees it as that. He shares His love for you with sprinkles of hope and beauty every day. The rainbow after a storm. The beautiful flowers that bloom in the spring. The winds that howl scaring you a little but feeling comforted and cared for when th

There is a tendency to hide in the busyness of your schedule, getting bogged down by all the to dos. You need to pull back and experience today! When you grant yourself the opportunity to be present...that's being alert and aware of your surroundings and being intentional with your participation ... the world opens its doors to you! "We begin to hibernate in our own schedules." ~ Kristianne Wargo In order to feel alive, loved, and engaged in the gifts God has given you, you MUST be present.  Experience today! You will open the vault of gratitude and appreciation .  The K.I.S.S. ~ Experience today!   Would love to hear what you are working on.

Have you ever had that fleeting thought...I wish I didn't have kids? OMGoodness! If you are honest, that is a thought that comes up in motherhood (or fatherhood). And just because you are thinking this thought "I wish I didn't have kids", doesn't mean that you are a bad mama. Remember, you're only human. Being a mommy is a tough job. It can bring you to emotional states that isn't understood until you are graced with being a mom (or dad).  Now please know that if you are having these thoughts and they are NOT fleeting and circumstantial, plus the thoughts are leading you down a negative and harmful path, PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!! This is a serious situation. For our context today, we are looking at this from a fleeting thought. One that when your child has pushed your buttons too many times, you say to yourself...I wish I didn't have kids! Think about when you have these thoughts, how are you feeling? Frustrated Angered Upset A little mad Can't keep a level head Hard to focus Over emotional (good or ba

Oh my!! What to do when your day is not going well. Sleeping in would be an accomplishment. OH what to do? Shake it off! When you have bad days, you gotta shake it off. Don't dwell on what went wrong. Look to the good, even if it's the littlest, simplest think. You matter! Letting things fester inside you only brings about self doubt, bitterness and loneliness which leads to frustration and overwhelm. Life is bigger than your little hiccups. In fact, maybe if you were to hold your breath and count to 30, the hiccups would go away. Shake it off! You can't allow yourself to get caught up in the naysayers, the what ifs. Do what you can control. First, shake it off.  Then bounce back to doing what is the next step. Take A.I.M. And you are when you shake it off and respond to life in a way that moves you forward and levels you up. You matter!   The K.I.S.S. ~ Shake it off! *Guest Music Used By Permission with license from BMI.com* Taylor Swift, Album 1989  https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/shake-it-off/id90724270

Wouldn't it be nice to sit back and choose exactly what you wanted your body to look like? A certain size, physique; how to get the body you want. You want to lose weight. You want a better body, a stronger body. You desire to live a healthy lifestyle. Maybe you want to be a certain size, or have a certain look; more like you were before you had the children. However, you have no time in your day. You are SO busy that you can't add one more thing. You are tired and not getting enough sleep. How to get the body you want. Intimacy in the bedroom is basically nothing...You no longer love the reflection you see in the mirror. You don't feel sexy! And then you find yourself listing all the what ifs, that these become your excuses. Why even try. It's easier not to do anything. You have already failed too many other times. How to get the body your want? Some basics are: Nutrition Intentional movement (exercise/fitness) Mindset Stress Sleep Hormones If you keep doing the same thing, you will get the same results. S

When you've hit a roadblock, not knowing where to go next, there's a reason to smile. "Hope is confidence. Hope is determination. Hope is courage, and faith is the ultimate expression of hope. Where there's life, there's hope...a reason to smile."  Whatever is happening in your life, there's hope; a reason to smile. No matter how crazy the children are driving you in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. When the weather is't cooperating in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. Your business seems to be not going where you want it in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. If the arguments are hurting you in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. When faced with divorce and the feeling of not being loved in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. As the finances consume your every thought in life, there's hope; a reason to smile. Nothing is destroyed in a minute where there's life, there's hope...the reason to smile! Smile today because you have life and hope. Make today count!   The K.I.S.S. ~ Where there's

Have you ever been picked on, bullied by someone who doesn't like you and just enjoys being the big bully? Unfortunately, this happens all to often not just with your children, but with you too. Being bullied by calling you names, spreading rumors that aren't true, or picking on your looks may have occurred in school when you were much younger, but the damage is still there. In fact, you may have even had some of your adult friends cause havoc in your life by talking behind your back, saying hurtful comments or complaining just to complain because they can. As the years have gone on, it's not just the "person" who is the bully. The BIG bully is the self doubt within you. Self doubt! Yikes! The self doubt that holds you in your comfort zone keeping your confidence at critical mass with no hope to overcome it.  But wait. You're an OVERCOMER!  You must forgive your bullies too.

Today, the challenge is to come as you are. No masks. No pretending. You are playing the game of life, not just Super Bowl 50th.  Maybe you are headed out to a watch party for the Super Bowl or celebrating at home. Have you picked your team? The Carolina Panthers or the Denver Broncos.  How will you go to the party? As you? Or someone who is hiding, fearful of showing your true colors...what is really happening in your life. Hurts. Emotional strains. Physical pains. Financial distresses. Professionally and personally. "We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other." Romans 12:5 Come as you are! What scares or frightens you about being you? When the Super Bowl is done, and a winner is declared, they will go back to where they came from. Their lives that we don't know. All we see is the surface at the game. There is a much deeper story to these teams and individuals. When you go home after the Super Bowl is done and all the funny commercials are played, are you going home as YOU or someone who

The game of football can be fun for the family even if you're not a football fanatic. Tune in for some great ways to make the football shuffle awesome with yummy food and drink ideas, how you can get bonus points with your sweetheart, and a way to get the children involved.  TIME Your sweetheart says, "I want you to spend time with me." What does he mean by time? Probably being with him and paying attention; NOT on your tablet/phone or reading. He desires your attention. So for the best football day of the year, make time for him. FOOD Any football shuffle needs to have food. One easy way is to slow cook/roast your meat of choice. Create a dome effect with aluminum foil (if you don't have a cover) and cook at 325 degrees for 2-4 hours depending on the amount of pounds. If you desire a golden color, at the end of cooking til tender, remove the aluminum foil and cook uncovered for 2-5 minutes at a higher temp (375-425). You can broil; be careful where the heat source is located. What could be tastier than DIP!

Raising children in today's world has it's challenges. This is said by all parents. How can you raise children and not make it be the diary of a wimpy parent? No matter where you are in your life's parenting journey, there will always be challenges. What is right? To discipline or not to discipline. Remember the mommy stare down while your child has a melt down in the middle of the store. You feel as big as an ant; everyone looking. You are turning red and not accomplished as a parent. Today, it's time to put a spin on discipline. Keep in mind, all of this is reflective. What you ask of your child, you must do for you.  What can you do so you're not the wimpy parent when it comes to discipline? The K.I.S.S. ~ Set clear expectations that encompass your child's strengths! You must be the role model. (Do as you say.) Set expectations age appropriate. With expectations set, the boundaries are known. Discipline is now a teaching moment. "Think about discipline as an expectation not an action." ~ Kristianne Wargo

Do you ever feel like you are walked all over everyday, not just by the family, but the world? You are indispensable. You are the breath of the family! Indispensable means absolutely necessary, essential, crucial, required and key. Invaluable! When you have those days that you are feeling like a crumpled up piece of paper tossed in the corner, you must remember...You are indispensable. Without you, your children would go to school in mismatched clothing. Without you, a box dinner would be a delicacy. Without you, your home would be a jungle with lots of monkeys. Without you, your checkbook would be a lot lighter. No one would understand how to shop and save money. Without you, your sweetheart would be lonely and always longing for his soulmate. But with you.... You bring light into the darkness. You always know just what to say. You cook the best dishes in the world. You comfort those who are hurting. You love even when you're tired. You give of yourself endlessly. You encourage when the fight is tough. You t

How are you feeling today? Wait a minute. Is that you hiding behind a smile and not really expressing how you feel? Do feelings matter? Yes! Feelings do matter. However, as we grow wiser, we become more focused on everyone else's feelings. The children. The hubby. The boss. The friends. The family. But not you. Oh no! You are hardened to your own feelings. Burying them deep. Doing this is dangerous to your emotional stability when you are numb to your own feelings. You're fading away so slowly and no one is noticing. 90% of the time you aren't showing your feelings. So how are you? Yes, your feelings matter. And this is what you can do to get in touch with your feelings once again. The K.I.S.S. ~ Decompress Your Day! RELAX (What allows you to chilax? bath/reading/journaling/workout) REVIEW the positive. (What celebrations did you have today?) RELEASE the negative. (Let it go! Let it go!) REFRESH (What gives back to your emotional stability? prayer/singing/scripture/joy jar/intimacy) Would love to hear what

What happens when you are in a situation that makes you uncomfortable? Do you run and hide behind what you know? Or do you see being uncomfortable is good?  If only life was easy and you didn't have to worry about anything new or being uncomfortable. But that's not how life works.  Instead, you are challenged by the "unknowns" (which actually can be little blessings) and fear where they might lead you. So you run and hide. What if you were to take a different stance on being uncomfortable and embrace it? See it as an adventure. The opportunity to grow and stretch you. "Being uncomfortable stretches you. It make you realize what more you can do. Being uncomfortable let's you see the brighter side to life. It actually comforts you in your most trying storms in life. Being uncomfortable is good." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace being uncomfortable!   Would love to hear what you are working on.

There is nothing more frustrating than when you are working on something hard or something you've changed for the better --- and NO ONE NOTICES!!! What the heck? We become obsessed with what others think and see and notice, that if it doesn't happen, we are quick to throw in the towel. Change what we are doing. And even stop trying and quit! What's more important? Doing what works for you OR living your life through someone else's expectations? What you do matters! It would be nice to receive the recognition, acknowledgements, the "that a girl", and "well done good and faithful servant". Being realistic, that does NOT happen! So how do you get beyond that...when no one notices? The K.I.S.S. ~ STWWA!!! (Stick To What Works Always!) - Angry Bird style ;0) Don't over think! Let the results speak for themselves. Continue to take A.I.M. (keep doing what works) Stay true to you! If you have 5-10 pounds to lose, most people won't see it. But you will feel it. "It's time to invest in a lifetime, not just the "notic
