Balance vs Rythm

What do the following have in common:
Big Foot
Loch Ness Monster
Balance in Life

They have all been fabled to be true! 🤣

Why do we believe still look for balance in life? Balance between work and family…between expectation and reality…between free time and to do lists…between hustle and self care…between health and wellness.

We must find a rthymn to life. Maybe that means having something to look forward to during the crazy, busy times. Prepare for the upcoming week during the weekend reviewing meetings and appointments, meal planning, and making sure everything is covered. Time block what is important so you can adjust for emergencies.

When we let go of the illusion of balance, we can find our rhythm. I’m thankful for the premium nutrition that give me the energy to just keep going! Message me if you need help!❤

Food

Sometimes family conversations are hard. Why? Because food is important. 🤣
Too much
Too little
Nutrition needs
Cravings
Sweet
Salty
And let’s not forget the question of…does it taste good?🤷‍♀️

So here I am…just a mom…begging her guys to eat what was prepared…trying to balance the diet needs of mom and dad against the growing needs of 2 athletic, teenage boys. 🤣

Natural VS Consistency

You’re a natural speaker…um no, I’m passionate about what I have to say, but I had to practice just how to say it where others could understand. 🗣

You’re a natural salesperson…um no, I learned about my products, I use my products, and I share my products because I know they will help others.👏

You’re naturally an encouraging, motitivating person…um well, I invest in personal development and pray that God uses me in such a way.🙏

My point, things don’t always come natural, but through coaching and consistently putting in the practice, they begin to become second nature.🙌

We all Bring Something to the Table

When you’re a part of a family, or a tribe, you bring a talent to the table, and so do the others! I am confident in what I have to offer to the group, AND I recognize my limitations…most of the time!

Right now, I wish John was home from school. I need his “lego brain” and gentle hands right now. He would be able figure out how to get the drawer off the frame so I could get the blue tape off! He would be gentle to not break anything, but persistent to get it done.❤

Sometimes it’s the little things that become big in a time of frustration, but working together they can be solved!🤗

Also, shout out to Lowe’s! All appliances are basically on backorder right now. We thought we were going to get call on October 1st to give us a date of delivery in the next 2 weeks. Instead, I got a call last night that delivery would come today! 🎉🎉

Deep Breath

I had to take a ⒹⒺⒺⓅ ⒷⓇⒺⒶⓉⒽ this morning.🤦‍♀️

When plans don’t go correctly, or another’s lack or delay of decision creates chaos for your morning, its easy to say the first thing that comes to mind. But those words are not always useful or helpful to the situation. 🤷‍♀️

School was canceled this morning due to potential flooding from Tropical Storm Beta…it was canceled after I had already dropped off the boys at school. It would be easy to become a keyboard warrior and blast the district for it’s lack of early action, but those words from me would not be useful or helpful. Instead, I am thankful that we are now all home safe and dry, and school will continue online. 🤗

A ⒹⒺⒺⓅ ⒷⓇⒺⒶⓉⒽ and ᎶᏒᎪᏟᎬ can go a long way!

Take care of your Skin

You can change your hair color and length. 💇🏻‍♀️
You can change your eye color. 👀
You can straighten or replace your teeth. 😬
You can thicken or thin out your eyebrows. 🤨

The only thing we can’t change is our skin! We can’t replace it, and we can’t change the color or the shape. We must take care of it! 💯

Hydration, nutrition, and even gut health are all important to add to your skincare routine. Cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen matter! 💦

And ladies PLEASE take off your makeup and especially eye makeup each night before bed! Your skin needs the time of restoration during the night, and your sheets will be cleaner! 😍

Who are you Surrounded By?

Woah!!! Insane reality by my friend!
👇🏽👇🏽
”I just graduated college with $100,000 in debt”, but can’t get a job that remotely pays my debt… yeah, people clap, celebrate, and even hug you.

“I just got a loan for $400,000 to buy my first home”, that you really can’t afford, yeah people clap, celebrate, and even hug you.

“I just got a loan for $40,000 for a new car”, drive off the lot and the value decreases $10,000…yeah people clap celebrate and even hug you.

That’s $540,000 in total debt most people are living in (add a few hundred thousand for those living in Southern California), but they are feeling good about it because they are being celebrated for it.

Now, go tell those same people you invested a couple hundred dollars to start your own business…

“Whoa, are you sure?” ◀️
“What are you going to do if it doesn’t work?”◀️
“Umm.. I don’t think those things really work”◀️
“Do you think you can get your money back?”◀️
“I don’t believe in those things (i.e i don’t believe in you)!” ◀️

🦀 Picture a bucket full of crabs with no lid… the crabs never escape the bucket. The moment a crab tries to get out of the bucket, the other crabs pull it back down.

Pay attention to who you are surrounding yourself with and who is speaking into your life!!!

I jumped out of the bucket. I grabbed as many people that would hold on and took them with me! We are a tribe over 60 strong and we’ve never looked back.

▶️I’m sure!
▶️The products speak for themselves.
▶️Ive built a residual income
▶️my business of free to join and free to run!
▶️believing in MYSELF was all it took!

You are Enough

Maybe the only reason you think you’re not good enough is because you’re letting other people define your worth.

❌ NO MORE ❌

You are more than enough.
You always have been.
You’ve just been lost for a little while.
Welcome back.

YOU are beautifully & wonderfully made.
You’re not perfect.. but who is?

Stop letting people define you.
Stop letting people determine your worth.
Stop people pleasing.
Let that weight off your shoulders.
Just love them. Everybody. Always.

Be undeniably Y O U
Be uniquely Y O U

God has made beautiful things…and He also made you. ❤️
