Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

As distractions are lurking around the corner, finding hope and inspiration can be challenging and overwhelming. But remember, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 However, remember that God's Word isn't just a mere compilation of historical records or poetic verses. It's a way of life, a beacon guiding us through every season, offering hope and inspiration when you need it the most. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The commands found in God's Word may sometimes feel like burdens, but they are truly blessings in disguise. They are designed to lead you to a life of joy, purpose, and alignment with God. Take a moment to reflect on how you're implementing these teachings into your daily life, and the benefit of how it can transform your perspective and bring you closer to God's intended path for you. Faith is not meant to be a solitary journey; it is communal, meant to be shared, discussed, and passed down from one generation to another.

Our households should become places where faith is nurtured, love is evident, and the beauty of God's Word is brought to life. Consider the sacred task you have been entrusted with - shaping the next generation. It is not enough for them to be aware of God's commands; you must etch these commandments onto their hearts. Take a moment to reflect on how you are molding their spiritual journey. How can you make conversations about God's Word a more integral part of your household? The K.I.S.S. ~ A light unto my path! As you navigate through the ups and downs of life, remember the comforting words found in Psalm 119:105, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Allow these words to resonate within you and guide you throughout your journey. Let them illuminate your steps, bringing clarity to your decisions and serving as a source of hope and inspiration. When you feel lost, disheartened, or uncertain about the path ahead, turn to God's Word. Let it be your compass, showing you the way and shedding light on even the darkest of moments. Embrace the truth that God's Word is not confined to the pages of a book; it is alive, breathing life into your soul and offering you the hope and inspiration you seek. So, my dear friend, take a moment to reflect. How can you shape your daily life to be a reflection of God's commandments? How can you make conversations about His Word a more integral part of your household? Embrace this opportunity to create your now; a home filled with love, faith, and the beauty of God's Word.

Marriage is a covenant of love between two souls on a journey filled with joy, laughter, and companionship. And even in struggles and troubles, there lies a hidden truth - hardships are blessings in disguise. When disagreements arise and fights ensue, it's easy to get caught up in the storm of emotions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if we shift our perspective? What if we view these moments as opportunities for growth and transformation? Rather than seeing them as obstacles, we can choose to see them as blessings that pave the way for a stronger, more resilient marriage. "When life throws challenges your way, it's not a sign of weakness. It's an invitation to work on your weaknesses together." Fighting and disagreements often reveal the vulnerabilities and weaknesses within a relationship. They expose the deep-seated fears, insecurities, and unmet needs that silently linger beneath the surface. By acknowledging and addressing these issues, couples can embark on a transformative journey toward healing and growth. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look for the blessings! Through the lens of faith, we can understand that God uses these hardships to refine us, to mold us into better versions of ourselves. Just as fire purifies gold, the difficulties we face in our marriage refine our character, deepen our empathy, and strengthen our love. In the midst of a fight, when emotions are running high, take a step back and reflect. Ask yourself, "What is this disagreement trying to teach us? How can we grow through this experience?" It is in these moments of introspection that we open the door to possibilities, to grace, and to a deeper understanding of our partner. Remember, hardships are not a reflection of weakness or failure. Rather, they are opportunities for growth, for connection, and for a deeper appreciation of the commitment we made to each other in front of God. Embrace the storms, for they unveil the hidden gems within your relationship. As Christian married couples, we are called to love unconditionally, to extend forgiveness and grace, and to seek God's guidance in every step of our journey. It is within the challenging moments that our faith is tested, and through perseverance, we emerge stronger and more steadfast in our love for one another. So, the next time a disagreement arises, view it as a stepping stone towards a deeper connection with your spouse, a chance to embrace vulnerability, and an opportunity to fortify the foundation of your marriage. Hardships may shake us, but they will also shape us into the couple God intended us to be. In every hardship lies a blessing, waiting to be discovered. May we have the courage to embrace the storms, knowing that through them, we will find the profound beauty and strength that comes from weathering the challenges together. "Be present. Be incredible.

Family is the blessed burden that God gives us to learn love. 'Easy' isn't the point. ~ Alveda King In a world that thrives on immediate gratification and speed, it's no wonder that family life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The unyielding demands of work, social commitments, and personal aspirations often overshadow the importance of nurturing our bonds with loved ones. Instead of seeking the path of least resistance, it is within the challenges of family life that we discover the true essence of love. So, how can we, as parents, navigate through the tough times and perceive our situations and families in a new light? The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace disruptive thinking! If you are always looking at your situation from a sense of doom and gloom, that's gonna keep you in the dark. So you have to be the light. 1. Cultivate Patience and Empathy In the face of family difficulties, it is crucial to take a step back and view the situation from different perspectives. Look at all sides. Practice patience and empathy, recognizing that each family member has their own challenges and emotions. By cultivating understanding and compounding it with compassion, you can create an environment that fosters love and acceptance. 2. Prioritize Open and Active Communication Effective communication lies at the heart of family relationships. Encouraging open and honest conversations provides an avenue for understanding and growth. Make space for everyone to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns, without fear of judgment or criticism. Remember that listening actively is just as important as expressing yourself. By actively engaging in meaningful dialogue, you build trust, improve understanding, and strengthen the bonds within your family. 3. Cherish Quality Time Together The hustle and bustle of modern life often leaves little room for quality family time. However, it is essential to intentionally prioritize moments that create lasting memories and nurture familial bonds. Plan regular activities that foster togetherness, such as sharing meals, engaging in recreational activities, going on outings, or even dedicating a specific time each day to spend with your loved ones. By making quality time a priority, you reinforce the foundation of love and unity within your family. Parenthood is not meant to be a smooth journey devoid of challenges. It is within these challenges that we have the opportunity to grow, both individually and as a family unit. Embrace the extraordinary gift of family, knowing that the true goal is love. By practicing patience, empathy, open communication, and prioritizing quality time, you lay the groundwork for a resilient and harmonious family dynamic that can overcome any obstacle. Family is indeed the blessed burden that shapes us and teaches us the essence of unconditional love. Embrace the challenges, for within them lie transformative opportunities that will strengthen the bond with your loved ones and create a lasting legacy of love and unity. Remember, family is not meant to be easy. And that's precisely why it's so worth it. "Be present. Be incredible.

The alarm sounds as groans of what's to happen become your reality for your day; uphill battles are real. Instead of rolling over and regretting the day, stamp your day with a statement. When you wake up and roll over to the sound of your alarm, groaning as the reality of another day sets in, it's easy to be grumpy when everything feels like an uphill battle. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But today, this is the reminder that you hold the power within yourself to change the course of your day. And it starts at the beginning. Too often, we allow external circumstances to dictate our moods and shape our experiences. We let the traffic jam, the unfriendly coworker, or even the weather dampen our spirits. But what if I told you that you have the ability to take control of your day and set the tone for success? It all starts with a statement, a declaration of intent that you make to yourself. When you stamp your day with a statement, you send a powerful message that you are in charge. You are no longer a passive observer, but an active participant in your own every day. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stamp your day with a statement! Each morning, as you open your eyes and greet the day, take a moment and set an intention for the day ahead. Close your eyes and envision how you want your day to unfold. Visualize yourself tackling tasks with confidence, interacting with others with kindness and compassion, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. This statement is not just a fleeting thought but a promise you make to yourself. It serves as a reminder of your inner strength and resilience. For some, it might be a prayer to God to keep you going. It becomes your guiding light, the heartbeat of your day, helping you navigate through the turbulent waters of life. Throughout the day, when faced with obstacles or setbacks, remind yourself of that statement. Let it be your anchor, grounding you in the belief that you have the power to overcome any hurdle that comes your way. Embrace each new experience as an opportunity to learn, grow, and prove to yourself that you are capable of greatness. Stamping your day with a statement is not about denying the existence of challenges or pretending that everything is perfect. It is about adopting a mindset of positivity and proactivity. It's about choosing to focus on the things you can control rather than dwelling on those you can't. So, my friend, as you step out into the world today, remember that you have the power to shape your own story. Choose to stamp your day with a statement that reflects your strength, resilience, and determination. Let it be a daily reminder that you are the author of your own story, and greatness is within your reach. With every step you take, with every decision you make, let your statement reverberate through your actions. Think of it as the vibrato of your day. Prove to yourself and to the world that you are a force to be reckoned with. Embrace the challenges, seize the opportunities, and make each moment count. Today, take the reins of your day and leave your mark. Stamp your day with a statement. "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever wanted to do something, but instead of focusing on what you can do, you hang out with what you can't? Buckle up– you can because you can't. Now, I know that sounds a little backward. Yet, that means you might actually remember it, somewhat like my band director in high school. He never told us to be there at an even time like 4:45 pm. It was 4:47 pm or 4:53 pm. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You can because you can't. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel defeated when it comes to healthy living. The endless to-do lists, demanding work schedules, and never-ending responsibilities often leave us feeling overwhelmed, causing us to focus on what we can't do rather than what we can. But what if we flipped the script and realized that we can because we can't? So, despite your limitations, busyness, and challenges, live boldly! The K.I.S.S. ~ Live boldly! 1. What matters most to you that you can do? Instead of dwelling on what can't be done, prioritize what matters to you as an essential part of your daily routine. Allocate time for activities that rejuvenate and refresh you. This could include exercising, going for a walk in nature, enjoying a relaxing bath, meditation, or even simply taking a few moments to breathe deeply and clear your mind. By making self-care a non-negotiable aspect of your life, you enable yourself to face challenges with renewed energy and a positive mindset. 2. What can you sustain now? Rather than fixating on drastic lifestyle changes that may seem unachievable, focus on making small, sustainable changes that align with your individual circumstances. Start by identifying one aspect of your lifestyle that could use improvement, such as incorporating more vegetables into your meals or finding 15 minutes each day for physical activity. By making achievable goals and gradual adjustments, you create a pathway to long-term success, enhancing your overall well-being without feeling overwhelmed or deprived. 3. What can you let go of now? Sometimes, we stack our schedules so we don't have to make changes or do something different. Change is hard; but healthy living is priceless. What do you need to let go of, and that includes excuses, feelings, activities, and commitments? Once you figure out what those are, then be done. Don't give it another thought. That's wasting your valuable time that needs to be used on what you can do. In a world that often reminds you of what you can't do, it's important to remember that you can because you can't. You can have a life of health! Don't let the busyness and limitations of life hold you back from living your life to the fullest. Embrace the power of what you can do, and watch as your confidence and well-being soar. Start today, and begin living a life full of health; you can because you can't. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the depths of doubt, when darkness surrounds you and uncertainty creeps in, it's easy to feel alone and lost. If you think doubt defines you, then turn doubt into determination. Doubts can most certainly hold you back from living the life you desire. But you don't have to fall into that trap. You are seen and heard. You are not alone in your struggles, and you will rise above the doubt and ignite the flame of determination within you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But let's be real. It is true that doubt can be overwhelming, but remember... "Doubt is a feeling, not a reflection of your capabilities or worth." ~ Kristianne Wargo Doubt is a companion that we all encounter along the journey of life, and it is in how we respond to it that we find our true strength. One of the first steps in turning doubt into determination is to acknowledge your doubts and fears. It takes courage to face them head-on, but by doing so, you are taking control of your own narrative. Embrace the fact that doubt is a natural part of growth and progress. It signifies that you are pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, and that is where true transformation occurs. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn doubt into determination! Be patient with yourself. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are dreams achieved overnight. Understand that the path to success is rarely linear; it is filled with twists, turns, and unexpected obstacles. However, each setback is an opportunity for a comeback; growth and learning. Embrace the journey, even when it feels challenging or uncertain. Trust that every step you take, no matter how small, is propelling you forward towards your dreams. Remember, determination is not a one-time decision; it is a daily commitment, moment by moment. Even on days when doubt looms large, remind yourself of your purpose and why you started on this path in the first place. Surround yourself with a support system of like-minded individuals who believe in your potential. Seek inspiration from others who have faced adversity and emerged victorious. Let their stories light the way and fuel your fire. It is important to celebrate your wins, no matter how small they may seem. Recognize and acknowledge your progress, for it is a testament to your resilience and determination. Each milestone reached is a stepping stone towards greatness. Allow yourself to revel in your achievements, no matter how humble, and use them as fuel to propel you forward. Finally, embrace the power of self-belief. Doubt may seep into your mind, attempting to diminish your self-confidence. However, remember that belief in yourself is the antidote to doubt. Nurture your self-belief by affirming your strengths and acknowledging past successes. Cultivate a positive mindset and surround yourself with positivity in all aspects of your life. As we journey through life, doubt may attempt to slow us down, but remember that it is within our power to rise above it. Take AIM!! "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo Stay the course, be patient, and let determination guide your way. You are seen, you are heard, and you have the strength within you to turn doubt into determination. Embrace the journey, and let your light shine. "Be present. Be incredible.

How many miles are you willing to drive to make a buck, but how far are you willing to go to transform your thoughts? What you think about you bring about. Thoughts are telling. Life can be overwhelming with the constant flurry of everyday activities. It's no wonder that we often find ourselves feeling lost and uncertain. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But then, you add your thoughts into the mix, and it should be the sweetest thing of all. Yet-- it's far from that. Amidst the chaos, you are drowned in negative thoughts, even though you may have had a few good ones along the way. It's always the failure that's sticky, just like that piece of gum on the sidewalk. You step in it, and it's stuck until a lot of peanut butter is used. Words have power. And those words are even more powerful the more you replay them in your head. The battle of the mind is real. And if you genuinely want to get to the other side of where you are now, you have to change your thoughts. The K.I.S.S. ~ Change your thoughts! But come on-- it's easier said than done. However, it can be done! Now, there are CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques. But I want you not to overthink everything. The key is to do it. Change your thoughts. 1. The Mindset Shift Shuffle: Picture yourself dancing away your negative thoughts and replacing them with a vibrant rhythm of positivity. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? That's what the Mindset Shift Shuffle is all about! Whenever you catch yourself immersed in negativity, hit the pause button. Visualize yourself on a dance floor, stepping away from each negative thought and embracing positive ones instead. Spot, Stop, and Swap. You could even groove to your favorite tunes! This technique not only distracts your mind but also infuses the process with a delightful playfulness that transforms changing thought patterns into an enjoyable experience. 2. Gratitude Graffiti: It's no secret that practicing gratitude holds tremendous power in combatting negative thinking. Let's take it up a notch with Gratitude Graffiti! Grab some colorful markers or sticky notes and transform your environment. Write down things you're grateful for in prominent spots around your home or workspace. Be it your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or computer monitor – each time your eyes come across these gratitude messages, pause and reflect on the positive aspects of your life. These visible reminders rewire your brain, shifting your focus to the good and effortlessly breaking the cycle of negative thoughts. Get ready to cultivate a mindset brimming with appreciation and contentment. 3. Connect the Dots: The key here is reframing and reprogramming your thought patterns. Negative thoughts often entwine themselves intricately, making it challenging to break free. But fear not – all you need to do is connect the dots. Start by pinpointing one area of concern, a negative thought. Then, unravel the web of negative thoughts. I would encourage you to write it on a piece of paper to see the whole process in front of you. Be sure to explore every related aspect and delve into the intricacies. Once you have a clear visual representation, identify a positive and empowering statement or comeback that serves as a direct counter to each negative thought or aspect. Memorize them and repeat them whenever negativity resurfaces. Allow these powerful words to overshadow the negativity, gradually rewiring your mindset. Watch as your self-belief soars higher with every repetition. Remember, altering negative thought patterns requires patience, commitment, and self-kindness. Practice these techniques regularly, letting them become second nature. With the Mindset Shift Shuffle, Gratitude Graffiti, and Connect the Dots by your side, you possess practical and memorable tools to conquer negative thoughts and discover that harmony within yourself. Believe in who you are becoming. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

When the world around you seems to crumble, hope can become a distant memory, leaving you searching for answers. Stop looking side to side and look up! With God, all things are possible. In life's most trying moments, it's easy to feel as though every step forward brings two steps back. But I want to remind you today that there is hope. Yes, even in the midst of impossibility, there is hope. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Jesus once looked into the eyes of his disciples and spoke these profound words: "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God" (Mark 10:27). Take a moment and let those words settle deep within your soul. They carry within them a transformative power that can redefine your perspective and infuse you with unwavering hope. When Jesus made this statement, he was not uttering mere platitudes or hollow promises. He was revealing a fundamental truth that possesses the ability to transcend earthly limitations. It matters not what you face today, be it shattered relationships, financial hardships, health crises, or emotional turmoil – God stands above it all. Sometimes, the magnitude of our circumstances eclipses our view of God's mighty hand. We may find ourselves overwhelmed, gripped by fear, and robbed of hope. However, let it be known that God is not confined by human understanding or restricted by earthly constraints. His power transcends our comprehension and is capable of bringing about healing, restoration, and peace. In the face of life's challenges, I implore you to lean on God. Pour out your heart in prayer, unveiling your doubts, fears, and frustrations before Him. Entrust your burdens to the One who cares for you deeply, and know with unwavering certainty that He is actively working on your behalf. Miracles may not always unfold as we expect or according to our timing, but rest assured that God's plan is perfect. The K.I.S.S. ~ And look up! Seek comfort and strength in the promises found within His Word.

"Love is not just about sharing dreams; it's about making them flourish together. Be the spark that ignites your spouse's passion." ~ Kristianne Wargo In every successful relationship, being supportive of your partner's aspirations is essential. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co While it is natural to be focused on our own dreams and goals, it is equally important to uplift and encourage our spouse's ambitions. By actively fostering an environment of support, understanding, and empowerment, we can strengthen the bond between partners and create a foundation for both personal and shared growth. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create together! Every marriage deserves to have a partnership that encourages each other to reach for the stars; everything they could dream of. But that can't happen unless you create together. 1. Communicate Openly: Effective communication forms the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. By engaging in open dialogue with your spouse, you create a nurturing environment that fosters trust and understanding. Encourage your partner to express their aspirations, listen attentively, and provide a safe space for their dreams to take shape. Show genuine interest in their goals by asking insightful questions, offering feedback, and demonstrating your unwavering belief in their potential. Through open communication, you can actively contribute to your spouse's journey towards realizing their dreams. 2. Offer Unwavering Support: Support comes in many forms, and as a spouse, it is vital to be their biggest cheerleader. Be present during both successes and setbacks, offering words of encouragement and celebrating milestones. Be proactive in helping your partner overcome obstacles by providing emotional, physical, and practical assistance when needed. Encourage them to take calculated risks and step outside their comfort zone. Understand that their dreams may require sacrifices, and be willing to make adjustments to accommodate their pursuits. By offering unwavering support, you create an environment where your spouse feels valued, empowered, and motivated to chase their dreams. 3. Collaborate and Co-Create: True partnership involves actively participating in your spouse's dreams. Find ways to support your partner by collaborating and co-creating with them. Explore the areas where your passions align and seek opportunities to combine your strengths. By doing so, you not only contribute to their success but also foster a deeper connection within your relationship. Actively engage in shared activities, provide assistance when needed, and be an enthusiastic sounding board for their ideas. By working together towards your respective dreams, you create a bond that is stronger and more fulfilling. Supporting your spouse's dreams requires dedication, understanding, and a genuine desire to see them thrive. By practicing open communication, offering unwavering support, and actively collaborating, you can create a nurturing environment that allows both partners to grow and flourish. Remember, by being the spark that ignites your spouse's passion, you contribute not only to their happiness but also to the strength and longevity of your relationship. Aspire to support and uplift each other's dreams, creating a journey of shared achievement and lifelong happiness. Think of it this way-- Those who create together, stay together. "Be present.

With the craziness of schedules, constant demands, and distractions, life's obligations can get the best of us, leaving only the leftovers for our families. How do you spend time with the family? Many people are quick to answer the question in a way of activities and the comings and goings. But very few are direct about how they are interacting with their family, truly "spending" time with the family. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You see, "spending" is a word that is a little complicated. It can refer to how you use your money, or to show the activity in which someone is engaged or the place where they are living over a period of time. Now, you can combine the definitions to the point of engagement. Whether it's money or people, when you spend time you there is a cost, good or bad. You can choose to spend money the wrong way, just as you can choose to spend time the wrong way. As parents, we have the responsibility to make sure that the family is built on a strong foundation and bonds are created. And that comes with spending time together. But it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with activities, movies, school outings, or even family meals. How you spend time with family needs to include choose, connect, and communicate. The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose, connect, and communicate! Spending time together involves setting aside dedicated moments to bond, connect, and strengthen the relationships within the family. Now you can most certainly enjoy time together by going to a movie, but what is happening before and after? Those conversations and interactions are key. Mom (and Dad), we have to be intentional about staying in step with our kiddos so they know we are always for them. You don't want to use activities to be an easy way out so you don't have your emotional cord pulled. But by creating experiences that last a lifetime, those are the intimate moments that solidify your family; deep conversations, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and an openness to share and be vulnerable. 1. Choose The act of choosing to spend quality time together as a family is an intentional step towards building deeper connections. Establishing regular family rituals creates a sense of belonging and provides opportunities for meaningful engagement. Choose rituals that resonate with your family's values and interests. It could be a weekly game night, a monthly volunteering activity, or a daily gratitude sharing session. By consciously choosing to prioritize these rituals, you demonstrate to your children that they are cherished, loved, and an essential part of your life, fostering a strong sense of security and identity. "Choose this day whom you will serve... But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." - Joshua 24:15 2. Connect Meaningful connections blossom when we actively engage in heart-to-heart conversations with our children. Set aside dedicated times to have open, honest, and deep discussions. Create a safe space where your child feels comfortable sharing their thoughts, fears, dreams, and joys. Be present during these conversations, giving your undivided attention. Practice active listening and ask open-ended questions that encourage reflection and self-discovery. By nurturing these genuine connections, you lay the foundation for a lifelong bond built on empathy, understanding, and unwavering love. "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance." - Proverbs 1:5 3. Communicate Communication goes beyond words; it involves actively teaching and learning alongside your children. Engage in joint activities that foster growth, self-expression, and skill development. It could be cooking together, engaging in creative arts, or tackling a DIY project. These shared experiences create opportunities for collaboration, problem-solving, and mutual understanding. As you communicate through these activities, you pass on values, life lessons, and practical knowledge while discovering unique aspects of your child's personality and potential. Embrace the beauty of this reciprocal exchange, as both teacher and student, fostering a deep bond and an environment of continual growth. "Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." - Deuteronomy 11:19 Remember, spending time together as a family is not just about the activities or meals shared, but about knowing, loving, and guiding your children toward embracing their true potential and who they are becoming. By choosing intentional rituals, connecting through heartfelt conversations, and fostering a culture of continuous communication, you create a sacred space where your family can grow, thrive, and embark on the beautiful journey of becoming who they were created to be.
