Struggles of our past lead us to the future
So many of you have gone through many challenges, struggles, and break throughs this past year.
1 year ago I had envisioned women from all around the world, gathering together in a safe place to share our stories, lift each other up, encourage one another, and grow stronger.
Every single day for the past year I have had the privilege of getting to know so many of you through books clubs, Facebook lives, private coaching and zoom calls.
I am TRULY honored and grateful for each and everyone of you in our Brave Sisters Community, YOU showed up big time not only for one another but for meπππ
Thank you!!
Holding on to the past behaviors and staying stuck is so exhausting and doesn’t allow you to move forward into where you were are destined to be in this bug old world.
As we finish off this first week in this new decade I encourage you to reflect on last year’s progress.
Was it what you hoped for?
Did you accomplish the goals you had set?
Did you create long lasting relationships?
Did you just survive on of the hardest years of your life?
In order to move forward, we must take time to reflect on what worked and what didn’t work.
Reflection allows us to make progress instead of shaming ourselves into thinking we didn’t accomplish anything.
As I continue to reflect on my progress through last year I’ve realized when I celebrated those small victories just as much as the big ones.
My mindset was massive impacted.
If you are ready to make some progress big or small I’m personally inviting you to join your Brave Sisters on Jan 10th for part 1 of a 3 part series about intentional growth for 2020.

Let Your Values Do The Driving
Day 6 of 30 Days to Taming Your Stress
“As I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless. It was like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere” – Ecclesiastes 2:11

Identify Your Stressors
Today we are beginning a new journey to taming our stresses
As we begin Day 1 I encourage you to keep a journal as you read
30 Days to Taming Your Stress“Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles” Psalms 55:2
When you think of stressful situations in your life what comes to life???
Family, health, finances, work, kids, school..
Ponder your stressors big and small and write them down.. then categorize them by placing them into 1 of 2 categories 1- ones YOU could impact and 2- one outside of your control
Developing an effective coping strategy for those stressful situations outside of your control is vital to “managing your sanity” God is providing YOU all the grace you need
Sometimes we believe we must stick around to enjoy the fruits of labor because we are afraid all of OUR hard work is put to waste
Yet “many times the path to God’s PERFECT will for our lives requires us to make various transitions”.
“Transitions are sometimes mandatory if we want to achieve our destination. So it is with our ordained destiny. We are created with free will, which is not to say that God does not have a special plan for our lives, yet it is we who act outside God’s will, therefore missing the blessings He has for us. Many times God is saying “Time to transition to the next path” But we respond “I’m very familiar with the route. Can’t I just stay here and still reach my destiny?” Then we have the audacity to become frustrated or blame God when our goals seem to elude us.”
I suggest you find a quiet place today where you can sit for 30 minutes and make a list of every situation stressing you, I also encourage you to rank from most to least stressful
Today’s prayer: Father please give me the wisdom to deal with the things that bring me pressure to bear upon me so that I may respond YOUR way and bring honor to YOUR name.
