3619 Love Came Down
With the tunes of the cheerful carols moderately playing in the background, it's all too easy to lose sight of the significance of Christmas. Beyond the gifts and decorations, a story of how love came down was born. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, amidst the twinkling lights and cheerful carols, it's all too easy to lose sight of the profound significance of Christmas. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co This love came down from heaven as a tiny baby, born in a humble manger over two thousand years ago. John 3:16-17 captures the essence of this great love: "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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." This is truly the heart of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is a mystery and a marvel if you let your human logic take over. But what about your faith? The Almighty God, the Creator of the universe, chose to enter into His creation as a vulnerable, helpless infant. This act of humility and sacrifice is beyond human comprehension, yet it speaks volumes about the depths of God's love for us. In Jesus, we see love in action: love made tangible, love reaching out to embrace a broken and hurting world. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love came down! As we continue our journey through the season of Advent, it is a time to reflect on the divine love that came down to us in the form of a little baby. It is a love that knows no bounds, a love that is willing to go to any lengths to save and redeem humanity. It is a love that calls us to respond in kind—to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. So this Christmas, as we exchange gifts and share meals with loved ones, let us not forget the true reason for the season. Let us pause and ponder the miracle of the incarnation, the miracle of Love coming down from heaven to dwell among us. And may this wondrous love fill our hearts with joy, peace, and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Love came down that first Christmas night, and it continues to shine brightly in our lives today. May you always be reminded of the incredible love that was demonstrated through the birth of Jesus Christ, and may it inspire us to love others with the same selfless, sacrificial love. This Christmas, let us rejoice in the love that came down for us. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3618 Twas the Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, as the hustle and bustle take center stage, it's easy for couples to get swept away in the chaos. Don't let who matters most to you fade; keep the spark alive in every way. While it's tempting to focus on checking off our 'Santa Claus list,' it's crucial to carve out moments for togetherness and connection. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the spirit of fostering that connection, think outside the holiday norm. The K.I.S.S. ~ Think outside the holiday norm! Here are some creative ideas for couples to spend meaningful time together this holiday season. 1. Candlelit Dinner Date: Set aside an evening for a cozy candlelit dinner at home or a favorite restaurant. Take the time to savor a delicious meal and engage in heartfelt conversations. 2. DIY Gift Exchange: Rather than getting swept up in extravagant gifts, challenge each other to create personalized DIY gifts. It's a thoughtful way to show your love and creativity. 3. Holiday Movie Marathon: Cozy up on the couch with some hot cocoa and indulge in a holiday movie marathon. It's a simple yet intimate way to unwind and enjoy each other's company. 4. Volunteer Together: Spread joy and kindness by volunteering at a local charity or community event. Doing good together can deepen your bond and create lasting memories. Remember, the moments we share with our loved ones are the true gifts of the season. Let's make this holiday one to cherish and remember for years to come. And now, a special rendition of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' for couples this Christmas (by Kristianne Wargo) Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there. But amidst all the presents and holiday cheer, Couples snuggled up, with their loved ones near. For the true magic of Christmas, they knew in their hearts, Was the love they shared, a bond never to part. So this holiday season, remember the magic of togetherness, And cherish each moment, filled with love and gracefulness. May your days be merry, your hearts be light, And your love shine bright, throughout the silent night. "In the midst of the holiday rush, let's pause to savor the gift of love we have in each other." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let's make this Christmas a truly special one, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories with our beloved partners.

3617 It's Good to be Scared!
As we turn the page to Christmas day, parents often face challenges that test their patience, resilience, and hope; the holiday that really means stress and anxiety for many. But what if you knew that it's good to be scared? Embracing fear can open up your heart to see more than what you think you see in the moment. It pushes and pulls you in all different directions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the rollercoaster journey of parenthood, there are moments that strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned moms and dads. It's in these moments of uncertainty and vulnerability that you get to choose how you want to grow and evolve as a parent. As I always say, "The right thing and the hard thing are the same thing." Now, that doesn't make it easier, yet it gives you a reality check as to where you are so you can make adjustments to where you need to go. Embracing fear allows you to confront the challenges head-on rather than shying away from them. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." - Nelson Mandela The K.I.S.S. ~ It's good to be scared! I really want you to embrace that for yourself. Maybe that's the permission you need this holiday season to enjoy it more, to let your heart be present, not just your to-do list. Being a parent is undoubtedly one of the toughest jobs in the world. It requires patience, empathy, and a whole lot of courage. When faced with situations where our children push our buttons, test our limits, or make mistakes, it's easy to feel scared and overwhelmed. However, it's precisely in these moments that we have the chance to show up as the best version of ourselves. "Parenting is about growing up as much as it is about raising kids." ~ Kristianne Wargo Mom, it's time to embrace that fear because it's good to be scared. 1. Practice self-compassion: Remember that it's okay to feel scared and vulnerable as a parent. Be kind to yourself during challenging moments. 2. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist or coach for guidance and encouragement when you're feeling overwhelmed. 3. Embrace imperfection: Accept that parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs, and that making mistakes is a natural part of the process. As we navigate the holiday season and all the joys and challenges it brings, let's remember that it's good to be scared. But scared in a manner that serves! Embracing fear allows us to step into our power as parents, to grow, learn, and connect with our children in profound ways. So, this Christmas season, embrace your fears, lean into the discomfort, and give yourself permission to be immersed in growing as you emerge stronger and wiser with more hope than ever before.

3616 Embrace the Magic of the Season
As the holiday season sweeps in with its flurry of activities and demands, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what truly matters. Make this holiday different; embrace the magic of the season. Now I get how the pressure to create the perfect holiday experience can often lead to stress and overwhelm, leaving you feeling drained and disconnected from the magic of the season. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, amidst the hustle and bustle, there is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and redefine your approach to the holidays. Think about this: What if you were to reconnect with the essence of the season? The true essence of the holiday season lies not in the extravagance of decorations or the number of gifts under the tree, but in the joy of giving, the warmth of togetherness, and the spirit of love and compassion. This season is a time for reflection, gratitude, and spreading kindness to others. And what if you changed your perspective so you could change your experience? It's time to shift your perspective from one of stress and chaos to one of intention and mindfulness. Ask yourself, what does this season truly mean to you? How can you align your actions with your values and intentions to create a holiday experience that resonates with your heart? The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the magic of the season! Just because the world wants you to feel out of sorts doesn't mean your heart has to. Choose presence over presents! Seeing all the packages wrapped under the tree is beautiful; it's the jewels that ground the tree. But why let a world filled with materialism and consumerism get you all caught up in the frenzy of holiday shopping and gift-giving? If you have the time and the resources to put all those gifts under the tree, then by all means. However, don't forget about your presence. That is the best thing to ground any holiday. Quality time spent with loved ones, heartfelt conversations, and acts of kindness can often be more meaningful than any material gift. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, let your light shine brightly for all to see. Embrace the magic of the season by being true to yourself, doing what matters most to your heart, and spreading joy wherever you go. Your authentic presence and genuine connections with others are the true gifts of the season. The holiday season offers us a precious opportunity to slow down, reconnect with what truly matters, and embrace the magic of the season. "Be present. Be incredible.

3615 Dashing Through the Snow
As the frosty winds of winter draw near, it's time to bundle up, brace ourselves, and embrace the transformative power of cold. You might want to be all snuggly and warm, but you should be dashing through the snow. I get it. The holiday season may be synonymous with cozy fires, warm blankets, and hot cocoa, but perhaps it's time to shift our perspective and see the beauty in the chill of winter. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co From invigorating our minds to revitalizing our bodies and uplifting our spirits, the cold has much to offer those daring enough to venture out into its wintry wonderland. The K.I.S.S. ~ Dashing through the snow! MIND 1. Clarity Amidst the Chill: The crisp, cold air has a way of sharpening our focus and clearing the mental fog that often clouds our thoughts. Breathing in the icy freshness can awaken our senses and invigorate our minds, providing a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. 2. Creativity in the Frost: There's something about the winter chill that sparks our creativity and inspires us to think outside the box. Whether it's sketching snowflakes on frost-covered windows or writing poetry as delicate as a snowflake, the cold can be a muse for our artistic endeavors. 3. Mindfulness in the Silence: As the world around us hunkers down under a blanket of snow, the stillness and serenity of winter can offer a moment of respite for our overworked minds. Embracing the quietude of the season can help us practice mindfulness and appreciate the simple beauty of the moment; be present! BODY 1. Energizing Cold Showers: While the thought of a cold shower may send shivers down your spine, the benefits are worth the initial shock. Cold showers have been shown to boost circulation, strengthen the immune system, and even improve mood, making them a refreshing way to kickstart your day. 2. Winter Workouts: Embrace the chill by taking your workout outdoors. Whether it's ice skating, snowshoeing, or even just building a snowman, getting active in the cold can burn more calories, improve endurance, and strengthen your body against the elements. 3. Spa-like Ice Treatments: Treat yourself to the invigorating benefits of cold therapy with an at-home ice facial or cryotherapy session. Cold treatments can reduce inflammation, tighten skin, and promote overall wellness, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized. SPIRIT 1. Resilience in the Frost: Just as winter tests the resilience of nature, the cold can help us discover our own inner strength and endurance. Facing the chill head-on can build resilience, courage, and a sense of accomplishment as we navigate the challenges of the season. 2. Connection Through Coziness: As the temperature drops, we often find solace in the warmth of home and hearth. The cold can be a catalyst for creating cozy moments with loved ones, from snuggling up by the fire to sharing stories over a steaming cup of tea, deepening our connections and fostering a sense of community. 3. Joy in Simple Pleasures: In the midst of the holiday rush, the cold can remind us to slow down, savor the moment, and find joy in simple pleasures. Whether it's the beauty of a snowflake or the warmth of a hug, embracing the cold can help us appreciate the little things that bring light to our lives. So this holiday season, instead of shying away from the chill, dare to dash through the snow with open arms and an open heart. Embrace the transformative power of cold, and let its frosty embrace awaken your mind, revitalize your body, and uplift your spirit in ways you never imagined possible. "Be present. Be incredible.

3612 The Abundance of Joy
Hearts around the world are filled with anticipation and hope as we await the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, let us pause and reflect on the abundance of joy. A joy that only Jesus Christ can bring into our lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the Gospel of Luke, we are reminded of the shepherds who received the good news of great joy from the angels: "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'" (Luke 2:8-11) Like the shepherds, we too can experience great joy in knowing that Jesus came into this world to bring us salvation and eternal life. In the midst of our busy lives, let us take a moment to count our blessings and reflect on the abundant joy that God has graciously bestowed upon us. The K.I.S.S. ~ The abundance of joy! Think about the joy that fills your heart when you spend time with loved ones, when you witness acts of kindness and compassion, and when you feel the presence of God in your life. These moments of joy are reminders of God's faithfulness and love towards us. As we journey through this season of waiting and anticipating, let us cultivate an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving. Let us be grateful for the gift of salvation, for the love of family and friends, and for the hope that Jesus brings into our lives. In the words of the apostle Paul, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) May our hearts overflow with joy and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our Savior and experience the abundant blessings that come from knowing Him. Let us rejoice and be glad, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. May the light of Christ shine brightly in our lives this Christmas season and bring us peace, hope, and everlasting joy.
