In the last two years my life has taken a major about-face. March 2018, I would have never imagined my husband would be diagnosed with cancer followed by 14 months of extreme treatments, to end with him heading to his eternal home. Leaving me here to become the provider. All of this left my head reeling and my feet unable to gain traction underneath me. Where to start? I felt SO VERY OVERWHELMED!
I kept trying and just couldn’t get my thoughts and actions to line up in a way that felt right. I was missing some key, foundational, pieces to the process of developing my plan to move forward. I knew I wanted to move forward but the steps were hard to see, and even more difficult to try and execute. Until….
This recent shebang started a couple months back and I was DEEP in the trenches of gloom. I was ready to just give up. Then, one day as I was scrolling through the motions I ran across a free training on facebook. (this course has expired but BOY do I have content to share with you from it) Something pressed on me to click “going”. Possibly one of the most brilliant moves I have ever made! Thank you God for the nudge.
In walks this life-giving, enthusiast that was so straight-forward. I began a process of thinking back to the very core of who I am, what I stand for, what talents God has given me and how I could solve a problem with that resulting in being a blessing to others. BAM! Oh, give me purpose and give me hope for my future. And not only that, but I went all the way back to the HOW and WHY. Why do I do the things I do in business when God is in the lead? IT looks different, right? This was fresh air to my tired and weary mind. The knowing that God has a beautiful plan unfolding that includes using my past failures for a positive future, for myself + others.
You can hear it my words right? This insight has wrapped all my beliefs and passions into one beautiful package that I can get SO EXCITED about! It has been absolute GOLD. I kid you not. I would call it a core level booster, cutting through all the head stories we create to sabotage ourselves. NO FLUFF. Just straight forward, practical, go after it, make it count, valuable content, with all kinds of helpful resources. If you need to light a fire under your seat (or in your head), you can do it and you CAN also LOVE the process.
Going through these steps have COMPLETELY changed my approach and now I am SO EAGER to help other people find their way through the cycle of defeat. It is a blast figuring out what makes people’s hearts skip a beat and move mountains. That’s what you need to find, that’s what you need to do. That is AUTHENTIC + something to be passionate about. I am going to be posting some simple worksheets that will help your mind pull out from under the weight of burden or anxiety and start moving towards a bright, shining future.
In the meantime, pray and ask God for a light to shine in an area that has felt dim. Expect a nudge, a prompt, to reach out and love on someone. It all starts by serving others in love. ALWAYS.
