Every woman has areas of life where there is a lack of organization. Whether at home or the office, we misplace things and cannot find items when we need them because we are not orderly.
Â
What happens when systems are not put into place?  What if an organizing system is not established? Well things get lost, chaos ensues, and you lose time looking for stuff! I have multiple businesses and do animal rescue. My schedule is nuts.
Â
Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to stay organized! Here are hacks for you that I use to keep myself and my businesses as organized as possible and I promise will save you time (and maybe a little sanity!)Â
Â
Being organized is a great help with time management. Declutter both home and office before attempting to tackle keeping organized and managing time better.
Â
   1. Forget complicated systems.
Any systems you use for organizing that take a lot of time to keep up with are wastes of time. Remember, an organizational system improves your...
Faith and Food:Â
As Christian women, we are called to honor God in every area of life â including how we care for our bodies. While diet is a personal decision, more research is showing that a plant-focused lifestyle brings not only physical health benefits, but also aligns with Biblical principles of stewardship, simplicity, and care for creation.
Let us explore what science says â and what Scripture affirms â about choosing foods that nourish body, soul, and spirit.
Â
According to nutritionists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), most Americans fall short in eating enough fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
âMost Americans donât eat enough fruit, vegetables, legumes or whole grains. Thereâs a huge consensus that eating more of these foods would be a good idea for everyone.â â Dr. Susan Krebs-Smith, NIH nutritionist
Research now links vegetarian and mostly plant-based diets to a lower risk of heart disease, diabet...
After diving into the Truth Mindset throughout this year in my blog series, it is clear that living in Godâs truth is a transformative journey. Christian women are called to embrace truth in every area of our livesâour thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships. This final blog will serve as a reflection and encouragement to continue cultivating a Truth Mindset as we progress in our personal and spiritual growth.
Psalm 119:105 (KJV): âThy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.â
Â
Godâs Word is our ultimate source of truth. It lights the way for us, guiding every step we take. As we walk with Christ, we must continually immerse ourselves in Scripture, allowing His truth to direct our decisions and renew our minds.
Â
This year, we have examined how a Truth Mindset is deeply connected to our faith, identity, and purpose. A Truth Mindset is not just about positive thinking or self-improvement; it is about groundi...
Every day I wake up with rekindled strength and decide to make the day a great one. I arm myself with positivity and a winning mindset. When I step into the world, I start to hear the beautiful hymn of hope that follows me everywhere I go.
Â
Even when others choose to play a soundtrack of hopelessness, I dance to my hymn of hope. My ears are prepared to listen only to the sound of hope and to disregard any other noise. I abstain from listening to negative news reports that will only try to deprive me of my capacity to hear the sound of hope.
Â
With so much negativity around me, I have to actively seek the good in the world to stay filled with hope. When I concentrate on the good characteristics of others, I can come up with hope.
Â
My life is a song filled with hope. Although there is no guarantee in life, I am confident that my life choices move me on the right path. I know that I will be successful.
Â
I sing my hymn of hope to the world so others can be lifted in their times ...
It is easy to be grateful for the good things in life; however, to experience the full benefits of gratitude, we must learn to find gratitude in our challenges.Â
Â
It is that time of year when most women give up on their goals because they do not see the results they want. Resist the temptation to give up right before the end. Remind yourself how far you have come this year, from the small wins to the big moments. You owe it to yourself to do the best you can.
Â
âWe ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.â â C. S. Lewis
Â
Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions we can cultivate as women. And, gratitude inspires a positive mindset.
Best of all, there is always something women can find to be grateful for, from the big things - such as a promotion, achieved goal, dream relationship, or good health, to the little things - such as...
Are you wondering if a spin on the original holiday pie will be well-liked? Pies for Thanksgiving are time-honored. However, don't you wish to bite into a delicious brown butter carrot cake for a change or snack upon chewy cookies? Why not whip up amazing Thanksgiving desserts?
Â
Do not limit yourself to a simple pie for dessert. Get your creative buckle on and change up your usual Thanksgiving dessert menu. You will be surprised to watch the crowds go ga-ga, relishing desserts like never before.
Â
Sticking a spoon into the creamy pie is hardly a dessert to end a king-size feast. There should be a few too many options to treat your sweet tooth.
Â
Are you running your brain, trying to come up with desserts that are winners and crowd-favorites? Don't think too hard. Figure the core ingredients first. Is it only pumpkin that screams Thanksgiving in all possible ways?
Â
What about succulent apples or starchy sweet potatoes? Can you miss the pecans or the chocolates? The decadence a...
Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind â stuck in fear, insecurity, shame, or doubt?
...especially around holidays?
You try to pray, serve, and trust God, but inside you keep hearing:
âI am not enough.â
âThis will never change.â
âGod is disappointed in me.â
Sister, this is what I call Lie-Locked Living â when false beliefs chain your heart and mind, even as you long for freedom.
But hereâs the hope:
âCasting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.â â 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
We can take our thoughts captive by the Spirit and submit them to Godâs truth â unlocking the freedom Jesus died to give us.
...Giving thanks to Him for that sacrifice.
Â
This lie keeps countless Christian women bound.
But God says:
...Staying physically fit matters to me. I make time for fitness even when my life is very busy. The Thanksgiving holiday is a busy time, but I still have plenty of hours in the day.
Â
I get things done because they are important to my life. The things I do each day have value and meaning to me. Staying fit is one of those things that I value highly.
Â
To stay fit, I make time for exercise. I avoid changing my routine during the holidays. I can enjoy the holiday season and still keep my workout routine. In doing so, I ensure my continued fitness and good health. I make sensible choices during the holidays. I stop and take time for myself when things start to get hectic.
Â
Because I see the value of exercise, I make it a part of my schedule. I encourage others because I want them to succeed in their fitness goals.
Â
By working with others to help them meet their fitness goals, I feel fulfilled. Seeing me fit and healthy makes others want to work toward their own fitness goals. I en...
Stop shying away from experimenting when shopping for fun presents. Social occasions like Thanksgiving are not an ordinary affair. The yearly get-together brings the family hanging hats under one roof. Maybe they are all there for a fancy dinner. But, delighting the host is just as crucial.
Your host might be simmering in stress. After all, organizing a party keeps one on their toes, keeping tabs on several things simultaneously. Popping in with a fun and happy gift could set the mood to be cheery.

Best gift ideas to stand out
Thanksgiving is more than breaking bread with your family and friends. Are you new to hosting the yearly feast? Not too positive concerning your hosting skills? Well, you are not the only one. Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner is challenging for the inexperienced. Arranging a glorious celebration is pretty challenging. Have you brushed up on your skills cooking the classics yet? Are you anxious about taking the reigns as this yearâs hostess?
I am on the same page. The list of to-dos can keep your head spinning. Guess what? No one says you have to do it alone. Using the assistance and a few extra hands might be worth it. Do not tie yourself up with a long list of chores. Although you are the hostess, you ought to have the merriment of the holidays too. If you are busy juggling a zillion chores and stressing over the nitty-gritty, the spirit of cozy thanksgiving dinner is lost.
Donât you want to greet and help your guests relax and enjoy the holiday with ease? Performing the role of a stel...
