2907 Your Life Verse
A new year brings new hope, just as there are new mercies every morning. Don't let life pass you by. Tune into God's heavenly radio station and listen to what He desires for you; your life verse. How busy were you last year? Did the time fly by like it is already? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT God has plans for you. But the key is discerning what He wants for you and allowing Him to direct your paths. You don't need all the answers. Walk by faith. Yet, that will require a bit of communication with God. Read the Bible, so you know more about who He is. Pray without ceasing. Establish a 911 connection to Him. The K.I.S.S. ~ Establish your life verse! Most people are planning what they want to accomplish in the new year. But what if you could take what you know in your heart to be what God desires for you, and turn it into a heavenly motivation? Talk about some inspiration; that's hard to beat. You might be one who knows exactly what verse you want to claim is for you. However, I want to encourage you to write your own life verse with more than one from the Bible. This way, it's specific and unique to you, just as unique as you are. Plus, you're more likely to remember it, be challenged by it, and be inspired to keep going when times get tough. Breakthrough starts in the heart. Connect to what God wants for you. Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plan I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future." Isaiah 40:31 "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint." Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Take these verses and write your life verse. This becomes so unique to you. Keep this in mind. Be short and sweet. Remember, this is the 911 you need to get your through whatever season you are in. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo PRAYER: May God delight in your presence as you declare His plans for you. Every morning, there are new mercies to claim as your own. Do so with courage and respect for what was, what is, and what's to come. As struggles and troubles attempt to distract and discourage your dreams, hold fast to God's faithfulness. Life is a gift. Unwrap it every day. This is the day God has designed for you. Celebrate the richness and mercy of His love. Nothing is impossible! From my family to yours, have a Blessed New Year!!! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2906 From Conflict to Compromise
Relationships are the greatest influence in your life. Who you hang out with, who you love, and who loves you. Beautify the heart and move from conflict to compromise. Have you looked at your calendar? Today marks the end of the year and the pre-celebration of what's to come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT During this time, wouldn't it feel incredible to review what has been and what is possible? Well, before you block out all the bad or good stuff. I want your focus to rest in your relationships. Relationships are vital to creating the life you desire. Who you hang out with matters. So instead of fighting and complaining, move from conflict to compromise. The K.I.S.S. ~ From conflict to compromise! When you look at your marriage, what do you see? Be honest with yourself and leave no stones unturned. Because, unfortunately, people get stuck based on relationships. Look at your marriage. If you are in a good season, recall a bad season. You most certainly can understand how conflict gets you nowhere fast. It takes kindness and genuine concern, which equates to compromise. Life isn't all about you. So be extra cautious about this trap. PRAYER: May your heart connect to the ones you love. Be open to who God has in store for you to meet. Know that your thoughts are already heard, so keep them on task leading with love and kindness. Compromise is a path to finding what you desire without having to beat down what doesn't seem to be working in your mind. Live, love, and impact. From my family to yours, cheers to a Blessed New Year!!! God's got you! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2905 How to be Flexible in a Fast-Paced World
Life never slows down fast enough. Don't miss a step with the ones you love; family matters. Learn how to be flexible in a fast-paced world. As a parent, your child is born with what feels like only minutes later, he/she has graduated from high school. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Where does the time go? You know all the sayings about savoring the moment, enjoying this stage, or time flies when you're having fun. But that doesn't bring comfort to your every day. Because every day feels like an eternity. Those moments and stages seem to last for weeks and months. It blows my mind the extreme of our feelings as a parent. This, my friend, then becomes complicated with the busyness. We've got to do everything now!! And that's where you land every day. Living life in a fast-paced world. Yet, what if you could slow down and smell the roses? What if you could plan ahead in order not to miss what's ahead? It's the 360° view that needs your focus. The K.I.S.S. ~ Plan from 360° view! This is a great time to think about how you think about things in your life, the way you see your family, and how you want to be when they are grown. Benefits before profits. Don't make decisions based on future profits. There is no money guarantee on anything, even the Powerball. So be more proactive in their interests, not their potential earnings. Love before division. What you think is best for your child is not always the case. But please understand, there are exceptions to every rule. However, what I mean to love before division puts your heart with your family's heart. When you see them, there is no division. Dreams before ultimatums. You want what's best for your children. Who doesn't? So be cautious not to let what you didn't get to do growing up be impressed upon them. Let them reach for their dreams, and then encourage them to reach for the stars. You have plans for your children, but so does God. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11 PRAYER: May your mind and heart commit to what God has planned for your children. Stand by them in love and hope. And may your faith be strengthened by what you cannot see, but in whose you are. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2904 Strategize with a Smile
As overwhelm takes over your schedule, you can get more than what you bargained for. So just breathe and calm the chaos. Then, strategize with a smile. You know those times when you don't know what to say or do; those awkward situations that have you stumped and speechless? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT That's when a smile can smooth over everything. You don't have to know or have any idea what you should do. A smile changes everything. And you didn't even have to work hard at it. Believe it or not, when you frown or make a sad face, you use more muscles than smiling. So it makes a lot of sense to smile when you're in the middle of a difficult or challenging time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Strategize with a smile! Now I always like to take it deeper. God invites us to be joyful or cheerful givers. To me, that means you do it with a smile. So why not do what matters in the middle of the chaos and wear a smile? Your reflection will look better. Have you ever seen your furrowed brow and frustrated frown face? Not too attractive. However, many people live their lives working harder and hoping for a reward for their misery. Can you relate? Now, I know there will be times when you need to be sad, frustrated, and mad. But that does not have to take up your whole life. Oh, wait! Your whole reactionary life. You deserve more. Not because I said so. But because God says so. You are destined for greatness. But once again, you can get trapped in your own free will decisions, totally nullifying God's plans for you. That's not why God comes to rescue you. He wants your attention. He desires your commitment to walk by faith. So why not do it in style. Strategize with a smile. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo PRAYER: May your actions define your intentions. Change will not crush you. Change will simply refine you. Nothing is impossible! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2903 Exercise Your Boundaries
Healthy boundaries are established to benefit one's well-being. But, too often, the lines drawn in the sand become hurdles and not benefits. In order to keep living a fruitful life, exercise your boundaries. When we were a child, our parents and caregivers set boundaries. Those boundaries were in place to keep us safe, to give us parameters where we could excel and not be hurt. But as a kid, all you wanted was your way. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Unfortunately, not much changes when you become an adult. I'm sure you can think of one person who goes against everything just because with no reason needed. Some of the crazy things that matter to us as kids: Playing with our friends, staying up late, talking on the phone forever, and going to the movies. Jump to the teen years into college years, and boundaries are the last thing we are considering. You want it; you go and do it. And in my opinion, it's only gotten worse. The "immediate" syndrome sends boundaries flying. That line in the sand is not washed out to sea. Who needs to save money? Who needs to watch what we eat? Who needs to exercise more? Who needs to go to be earlier? Who needs to eat more vegetables? Who needs to sing more rather than yell? Who needs to drink more water? The list goes on and on. But overall, if you're honest with yourself, boundaries are a blessing, especially if you exercise them. What can boundaries do for you? In the past, boundaries might have kept you from mixing with the wrong crowd at the wrong time. Boundaries may have held you back from doing drugs. Boundaries may have increased your intentions when it comes to who you date, and how you parent. Boundaries may have defined what you need in a troubled or even a focused season. Boundaries are a safety net. Yet every safety net has consequences, good or bad. Think back to the big trampolines. You can jump all you want in the center. But if you get too close to the edges, a lot can go wrong. Life isn't about pushing too hard, too fast. It's all about exercising your boundaries. The K.I.S.S. ~ Exercise your boundaries! And making sure they work for you. KNOW your boundaries. What boundaries have you set for yourself? Most of us don't know what boundaries we do have. We just live a reactionary life. And that becomes dangerous when you're talking about health and wellness. ADJUST your boundaries. This is where you redefine your boundaries or change them completely. PLAY FULL-OUT with your boundaries. If the boundaries are working for you, why would you go against them? So get yourself in gear and play full-out. For me, it's most challenging to keep something going when the temptation appears to have a greater reward. Now intuitively, you and I know that keeping to what benefits us is best. But you know how temptation works, especially when stress or life happens. So don't let the end of this year be the calamity at the beginning of your new year. Exercise your boundaries to work toward your healthy living goals. PRAYER: May your actions reflect what your body needs in order to live a vibrant life. "Train for life.

2902 Be Methodical in the Madness
There are times when you cannot escape the chaos. Don't fight what you can handle. Be methodical in the madness. Now that the Christmas holidays are 2 days behind you, there's no better time than the present to get specific about what you want. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You can stop chasing what you say you're going to do, and actually do it!! Because if you're honest with yourself, chaos and calm goes hand in hand. It really is all dependent on how you handle your every day. With only 6 days until the new year, at some point, you have to get real about what you are doing. Now being real doesn't mean you are cursing at yourself because of short-term failures. No more exclamation points to signify your shortcomings. Get in the groove. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be methodical in the madness! If you don't plan, all you have is chaos. However, chaos can turn to calm when you are methodical in the madness. We are celebrating the holidays at a popular destination, Disney. Whether or not you like Disney, I want you to get to the real picture. Take the first malfunction; a lost shoe on the ride with no spares in the area for a 2-year-old. How can you have magic if you don't have shoes. You want to walk everywhere!! And mind you, this was the first ride. We were told if they found the shoe (which we knew was there because we could see it from the ride), we could come back and check at 11pm when the park closes and pick it up. So what did we do? We headed over to the ride, speaking to a total of 7 cast members, all of whom confirmed what the person had said before. Following over a 30-minute wait, up walks a higher-ranked cast member. Security, I think. He asked us nicely what we were doing. Various children starting sharing what we were told and that's why we are still here. Oh but wait!! He didn't see this one coming. My daughter and her boyfriend had just finished the ride before close. They could see the shoe. So we knew it was there. Quickly it became known to the gentleman also. We explained the situation again, and his response was, "Come with me, and we will get this shoe." Yes, a little magic in Disney really does happen. In less than five minutes, the shoe was safely delivered with my daughter carrying it. The missing slipper had been found. Now it doesn't matter why the other cast members couldn't find it. But what does matter, we knew what was possible in what seemed to be an impossible situation. It was the methodical pursuit that won the victory in the madness. Your season may not be a missing slipper, size six brown loafer that can be easily retrieved with intentional effort. The key here to remember, is intentionality. You can get to where you want to go regardless of the season by being intentional. That creates the method to the madness that slows down the frustration directed toward the failures and alerts the hearts to adopt what's possible. PRAYER: May your heart delight in the impossible when you take the steps that make it possible. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2901 How to Thrive When All You Do is Strive
Getting caught up in the here in now sounds grand. But in reality, you're stuck in a different dimension. Get out of what is failing you and learn how to thrive when all you do is strive. How are you really? The holidays are still here. Maybe your extended family is hanging around a little, too, for your liking. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But regardless of what is happening in the here and now, there is much more happening in your heart. Emotions and feelings can distract you from what is really going on in your life. And sometimes, we think that if we just push through, everything will work itself out. However, that sometimes can be really distorted. We are spending time away with our entire family. It has been such a blessing for all of us to be together. Yet, there have been some challenges. No, I better correct myself. It's more like a challenge with the most adorable, vivacious 2-year-old you would ever know. He melts my heart all the time. But that doesn't change the fact that stretching out his day without a nap is wise. Or forcing it upon him to act like an adult when even adults don't quite understand how to act in these situations; long lines, cancellations, closings. Life can be a whole lot of not being able to do what you want when you want, and being strapped to what must happen without any concern for your needs. Pushing through isn't always the answer. If you want to learn how to thrive when all you do is strive, give up more than you hold onto. The K.I.S.S. ~ Give up more than you hold onto! With the look of quitting all that he knows at the age of two, Papa and Grandma simply decided that this was enough. He needed to be removed from what wasn't serving him and put in a place where he could regroup and thrive. Who likes screaming children anywhere (i.e., grocery stores, theme parks, church, tree lightings, fireworks, etc.)? Imagine what my grandson was thinking. This is torture. You and I are just like a 2-year-old. We are great when things are happening our way. But as soon as our expectations are not met, let the temper-tantrums ring strong (and very loudly). So why do you keep pushing harder? Striving is going after what you don't have as you try to change what you don't like. But we've been trained that pushing through just makes you stronger. Or does it? My grandson would disagree. He was pretty weak-like as he arched his back crying thinking that the more back thrusts, the greater the result. I get what I'm going after. Stop striving. Look at what you are really doing, not just in your head but in your heart. There needs to be an understanding between the 16-18 inch drop between your brain and heart. They work interchangeably together. Disrupt the fight. You can do more when you don't over stress or make yourself miserable. Play it safe only to give yourself pause, so you can get a fresh look and then create the cause. We are just coming off Christmas with New Year's around the corner. Make this a different year. Let your heart be felt, not underestimated. You are stronger than any push in your life. Stand for what you believe is true for you in the season you are in. Let the cookie crumbles fall, and focus on the bigger pieces. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) God created the plans for His Son. He does the same for you!! Thrive from the point of where God has your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo PRAYER: May your heart and head connect with God and the plans He has for you. Let go of what is not yours to carry. The burdens no longer have to be temper tantrums, but intentional decisions that move at a pace set in motion by God as you create your now. Dream kingdom dreams, for God is on the move in your life.

2900 A Thrill of Hope
Christmas is a time of hope and joy, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties. May this special day bring warmth and happiness to you and those you love, a thrill of hope. Merry Christmas! This is a special time meant to be spent with those you love. So today, let's read from the book that gives us a glimpse of a babe who changed the world. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Christmas Luke 2:1-20 2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. The K.I.S.S. ~ A thrill of hope! God kept His promise. He sent His only Son, Jesus. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~ John 3:16 What is your reason for this season? Are you willing to play it safe and keep doing what you know because of the comfort that it shows? Or is God prodding you in a different direction that is stirring your heart, yet causing pause because you might fall apart? Too many things. Too many deadlines. Are you willing to surrender your gifts to God? Are you willing to give Him everything? To love deeper, to grow stronger, and to have faith no matter where you find yourself. PRAYER: May God unwrap the gift you present Him as a token of your one and only. Fill your heart with kingdom dreams; a thrill of hope as you create your now. From my family to yours, many blessings this beautiful Christmas season. Mele Kalikimaka! "Be present. Be incredible.

2899 The Night that Changed the World
Christmas ignites a fire within your heart. Imagine your marriage with the richness and fullness of God's love decorated in all its splendor. Keep the flame burning just as the night that changed the world. When you get a new book or ready yourself to watch a new movie, are you wanting to skip to the best part? Or are you patient and waiting for the storyline to develop? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT I guess you can say I like to be present in all that I do. I enjoy surprises and the unknown. Yet, I also look forward to making many attempts as to what might happen. But as you know, the best is left to how it all unfolds. Somewhat like the time you met your spouse—the time when you couldn't stop thinking about them. And the more time spent together, the more plans were made. I'm sure Joseph and Mary did the same thing. They probably didn't go to the movie or text each other long conversations. It would have been a little more intimate and simple in nature. All the more reason why Christmas is such a special season. Two people who loved each other and wanted to spend their lives together. It couldn't be more perfect. Until God had a divine plan. The K.I.S.S. ~ The night that changed the world! Luke 1:26-38 26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail." 38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her. But Joseph, too, was visited. Matthew 1:18-24 18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. The night that changed the world. I find it interesting when marriage gets tough, most pack up and run. Mary and Joseph faced struggles beyond anything we could imagine. However, with the visits from the angels, it became the night that changed the world. Joseph and Mary had to put away what they thought marriage was. They needed to see marriage through the eyes of God; the richness and fullness of God's love. What if you slowed down enough to seek and listen for what God desires in your marriage? Would you look at your struggles differently? Would your disagreements and arguments be more productive with fewer personal attacks? Would your finances be streamlined to the point of reaching a compromise in living your dreams together? The hustle and bustle does not have to wear down your marriage. It can be the night that changed the world. PRAYER: May your heart be filled with all the splendor God has in store for you and your spouse. Let the light in your heart illuminate the hope in your marriage. God delights in your smile and extends His love that is worthwhile; all-encompassing, all-forgiving, and all-accepting. "Be present. Be incredible.

2898 Chaos and Calm Go Hand in Hand
Finding peace in the midst of the holiday season can wrangle up more stress with a bigger mess. Who knew that chaos and calm go hand in hand? Buckle up for this holiday ride; peace does abound deep inside. Navigating the roads of chaos and calm is a challenge, no matter what time of year it is. But during Christmas, it seems to be magnified greater than any other time of the year. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT I can't help but scratch my head and think, "Oh woe is me!" That's being really honest. At the same time, though, there's a thrill of hope that ignites my day and night. Who can sleep with that type of expectation? One way you thrive during Christmas is by finding the peace that doesn't come from you, but from the greatest gift ever given. The peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7) The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the path of peace! The holiday season is often filled with distractions and demands, which can make it difficult to find joy and meaning in the present moment. Who doesn't want to focus on the joy of the season watching your children experience Christmas. However, it does take a little more effort on our part to find the path of peace. Set realistic expectations. Or, in my opinion, expect the unexpected. Therefore, you leave no room for disappointment or extreme happiness. It's all about the moment. You hone in on JOY! Find joy in the little things. When you give yourself that space to absorb what's right in front of you, the rush of the day melts away while the peace of life leads the way. Be present. Don't let what matters escape your sightline. People wear glasses/contacts to see more clearly. When you're present, you see the moments in motion, not as credits in the movie. Despite all of the chaos and stress that can come with the holidays, there is hope. "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV This passage reminds us that peace is possible, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. It's important to remember that we don't have to rely on our own strength or perfection to find peace. Instead, we can trust in the Lord to give us peace at all times. PRAYER: May your days be filled with the peace that passes all understanding, and your heart be still in order to embrace the beauty amidst all the chaos. And just as Mary did, "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 2:19). "Be present. Be incredible.
