New Year, New Vision-God’s Vision
Have you ever made a vision board? I’m going to be honest, I’ve not been one to jump on this bandwagon. But earlier this year, I felt the Lord impress on my heart to write the vision down. More accurately, to create a visual representation of the dreams that He had spoken to me. So I did it. I made a collage of words and pictures to represent the things that I knew He put in my heart. It was a healing process because life had kicked me down and I could barely do the things I needed to do daily, let alone dream or work on my dreams. Once…

The Time Management Myth
I always remember going to interviews for jobs and the interviewer would inevitably ask how well I could manage time. As if time can be managed. Looking back, I wish I could tell them what I know now. I wish I could tell them that it’s impossible to manage time. Time management is a myth.

Trade the Superficial for the Satisfying: Self-Care With Jesus
Self-care is a very popular buzzword in the mom and mompreneur world right now. We moms have a bad habit of putting everyone first to our detriment.

We have no energy. We start having health problems. And we begin to lose our identity in our children and all the commitments we make. Our self-worth becomes tied up in all these things and we’re just so tired. Right? What’s the standard solution? More “me” time.…
