114. House of Joy
I want to share with you the 3 things that helped me create my HOUSE OF JOY, as I'm now calling it. (We just watched House of Gucci and it was NOT a house of joy whatsoever, so money has nothing to do with it, I promise.) 1) I don't complain. I just don't. Not about life, not about my marriage, not about my business. Not about the kids. Not about the mess. Not about myself. It's not that there's never anything to complain about, but I know the power of my thoughts and my words. They turn into reality. They become things. They build walls or they build bridges. They build a life of connection I truly love or they build resentment and bitterness and isolation. So, I choose my thoughts and words intentionally and with great care. I ask myself what the highest version of me would think and say. Your experience of your life or your kids or your marriage can never be better than the way you think and speak about it. So, are you complaining, always finding fault, living in resentment, living with unmet expectations? OR, are you thinking thoughts that have you showing up as your most loving, powerful, adventurous and joyful self? 2) I DECIDE to be delighted by the simplest things. I have trained myself to notice every tiny miracle around me---the way my daughter's friend tells everybody she loves them, the way Stevie laughs when he's pulling Tom on the tube, the HILARIOUS way Elea texts me, the way a hard workout makes me feel, the look on my client's face when she has one of those light bulb moments. I'm ready to be delighted, to be in awe of my life and my marriage and my kids everyday. I look for ways to laugh and have more fun. And by doing this, I make everything around me better, more joyful. I see the goodness of God everywhere and I shine His light in the darkest of places. I choose to see people at their best, as they could be, including myself and my spouse. What if everything you could ever ask for is already right in front of you? Will you train your mind to notice? 3) I decide to show up as my most loving, powerful, nurturing self. I do this by thinking thoughts ON PURPOSE that I WANT to be true about me. Thoughts like: Nurturing people is my superpower. I bring sunshine wherever I go. Everywhere I look I see miracles. My zest for life and love is contagious. I create amazing, fulfilling relationships and my marriage and family is at the top of that list. I'm here for ALL OF LIFE, in all of its glory and ALL of its heartache. That is the intention that I set for myself, for my marriage, for my life, and the magic is----that's how I end up experiencing my life. It doesn't mean life isn't hard. It means I know it's going to be hard, so I'm making myself ready and more resilient. I'm showing up as a warrior and not a victim. I'm taking charge of the parts I can and making a beautiful story out of it all, despite the tragedies that life inevitably brings. Creating a house of joy is my life's work--it's what I can control in a world that has lost its mind. It's how I fight against the cynicism and the darkness all around me. It's my anthem of hope and love. It's how I bring heaven down. Create your house of joy and start with believing you can. Drop the story that it's too late or that you don't have what it takes. Let go of the shame that's keeping you stuck, stop complaining, and decide to be delighted in the simplest ways. You are a healing balm to your family. You are a nurturer and a life giver. Your house of joy is exactly what this world needs. ******************************************* Everyone I know says they want to change their life. So few people I know actually do. The reason? They find change to be way harder than they anticipated and it's so easy to give up on yourself. You've probably been there too many times to count. You know something needs to change and you've really tried. But as soon as you get on track, life throws a curve ball at you. It feels like giving up on your goal is inevitable. Something HAS TO GIVE. I know, I've been there and I know the frustration. I also know the toll it took on me physically and on my emotional and mental health. I created my program just for YOU. FOR US.

112. Getting Your Life & Home in Order
Want to know my secret to creating the most nourishing life and home for myself? I stopped wishing it were different. I stopped comparing to someone else's. I stopped being critical of me, of my house, of the people who live there, of random people on the internet. ALL OF IT. I just stopped making myself feel bad and blaming circumstances or people or God. I decided that I WAS THE ONE IN CHARGE and what I really wanted was to create was love and joy and order and beauty. ******************************************* Everyone I know says they want to change their life.

111. Being Easily Delighted
Do we delight in what God made? In who He made? Do we love what He created? Because He does. He delights in what He made. He delights in you. He loves who He made. And He created us this way to love and delight in Him and in His creation. ******************************************* Everyone I know says they want to change their life.

110. Your Relationship with Money
The way we often know we have a faulty money mindset is that we ignore our money. Our relationship with our money is determined by our THOUGHTS about it. Many of us have unexamined scarcity thoughts about money that keep us stuck in a loop of negative money thoughts accompanied by shame. It’s possible to cultivate a relationship with money that is supportive and nurturing by deciding what you WANT to think about your money. You are not a victim to your money. You’re choosing your current relationship with it and you can change it anytime you want. Practice training your brain to think differently. Stop letting it blame other people or circumstances. It’s all YOU and that is good news. ******************************************* Everyone I know says they want to change their life. So few people I know actually do. The reason?

108. Getting Unstuck - Part 2
YOU WERE CREATED FOR MEANINGFUL, PAINFUL, and SACRIFICIAL contribution and when you run from that calling, you do so at your peril. NOTHING else in life will satisfy you. As you awaken to this TRUE, GOD-GIVEN desire, it will take your breath away. You will NOT be wondering what you want. You will hear and feel it so clearly. I can't wait to see what happens when the REAL YOU begins to shine. ******************************************* Everyone I know says they want to change their life. So few people I know actually do.
