The word 'quitting' often carries a negative connotation, conjuring images of giving up, failing, or lacking perseverance. However, in reality, the positive power of quitting can be a powerful decision, a strategic move towards a better self and a more fulfilling life. In this blog, we'll explore positive power of quitting and why quitting isn't always bad and how, in fact, it can serve you in the long run. Redefining Quitting First, it's essential to redefine what quitting m

In our increasingly fast-paced world, it's easy to get lost in a sea of wants, needs, and ambitions. Yet, throughout history and teachings across cultures, there lies a powerful insight: the very things we focus on and the gratitude we carry can pave the way for blessings and abundance. The Bible, with its timeless wisdom, offers profound guidance on this matter. Gratitude: The Magnet for attracting Blessings Gratitude is more than an emotion; it's a mindset. When we cultivat

In our journey through life, the path isn’t always straight. We stumble, take detours, and sometimes stray. It's never a question of who does this, but when and in what season are we failing because we ALL fall short of the glory of God. We are all imperfect and often, our harshest critic is not society, peers, or family, but ourselves. To live a life filled with joy and peace, it’s crucial to embrace every version of ourselves, including our younger, less experienced selves

In today's fast-paced, social media-driven world, external validations often take precedence over self-love and self-worth. Societal pressures can cloud our vision, causing us to stray from our authentic selves and the essence of who God created us to be. However, falling in love with ourselves is paramount to uncovering our divine potential and shedding the weight of societal expectations. When you deeply connect with and appreciate yourself, you gain a clear understanding o

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8 (NIV) Our lives are a beautiful tapestry of our choices, actions, and arguably most importantly, our thoughts. The Bible underscores the profound connection between our thoughts and our reality in several verses. In Proverbs 23:7 (KJV), it's said,

When I found essential oils 8 years ago, I was called a "Witch Doctor" because no one had heard of them before, lol. I spent hours teaching classes that detailed their importance and potency. Now, there's been a surge of interest in the wellness industry concerning essential oils and their myriad of purported benefits. From stress relief to sleep aid and pain management, these potent botanical extracts have gained widespread acclaim. However, the quality of essential oils v

Last week, our Willow wasn't acting like herself. She was withdrawn, quiet, lethargic, hardly eating or drinking, & uninterested in her normal motivators. The only time I could get her to smile was on our hikes which she would retreat from with sleep. I was scared & nervous because I had no idea what was wrong until I found a shredded magic eraser in one of her hiding places. My husband & I were relieved at finding out it wasn't toxic, but it had me questioning why she wou

I am seriously all caught up in my feelings today with gratitude & self-love. This world is such a crazy place right now. But, I’m reminded that I’ve been created for such a time as this, Esther 4:14. This season has me reflecting on things I’ve done wrong, people I need to let go of & the good God makes out of it all. I’ve spent so many years trying to be what everyone else thought I should be & truthfully it’s only led to more disappointments. I’ve lost relationships with

I get to choose my limits. I get to choose whether I want to take a walk in the rain by bringing an umbrella, getting wet or allowing the rain to stop me altogether from what I wanted to do. I get to choose my limits in my marriage. I get to choose whether I want to complain about him not making me happy or whether I want to step up & treat him the way I wish he would treat me without any expected reciprocation. I get to choose my limits. I get to choose whether I want to ea

You know those people who discover a new product & allow that product to take over their lives? Well, that's me. I am those people. Or at least it used to be me. You see, I was reluctantly introduced to doTERRA 8 years ago at a time in my life when I was suffering with anxieties about germs. Two semesters of nursing school taught me that western medicines did not have all the answers and I was a newer mom of 3 with H1N1 threatening everyone. I felt helpless against the germs

I half expected my husband to say no when I asked him if he wanted to drive 2 ½ hours to hike up over 1,000 steps. It seemed like such a good idea. Until it was time to go, lol. I had my doubts about how I was going to be able to physically handle climbing 1,000 steps because saying I am not in the best shape of my life is a huge understatement. But there was no way I was going to be the one to back down from this challenge. I have a few friends who have made this climb &

I have been walking and biking Cedar Creek trail for a couple of years now not knowing that it’s actually a 1.5-mile loop thanks to the Alltrails app! I always thought it stopped as a dead end at it's 2nd bridge which is awesome because my only complaint about hiking here was that the trail was always too short. This trail is amazing! You can get there a couple of ways; either by vehicle in which you park in a lot adjacent to the Youghiogeny River or taking a detour from the

It’s not REALLY about the scale. At least it shouldn’t be. There is so much more to being healthy than the number that represents the earth’s gravitational pull on your body. That number that society claims as “healthy” should not be what gets to determine any part of how you feel about yourself. Personally, I know larger built women that are much healthier than some of my skinniest of friends, but society wouldn’t look at them that way. Wholistic health is defined as, “the h
