Light the candles and drink your bubbly water out of a wine glass! Sometimes it’s just the small things that create special moments to appreciate the beauty of life. ❤️

I have messed up many times. I so love my kids and I wish I had more awareness about this when they were growing up! 🙏🏼Grateful for my journey towards personal growth that has led to my better parenting.WHEWWW.. still growing…🙏There is no such thing as perfect parenting , and being able to rebuild the bridge of connection is so powerful at any time during our kids lives! Creating a healthy and secure relationship with your child is so much more than just showing that you love them. If you are not working through your own emotions and accepting their value and place in your life and your child’s life, there will be a disconnect in your relationship. Do you desire to break the patterns that were present in your own childhood? We have the capability to compassionately participate in a deeper dive of personal growth so the patterns of brokenness do not get repeated and bridges of relationships get burned.
Being emotionally engaged with your child is often what they need. A parent that can sit with them in sorrow, allow the anger to come forward when necessary, let the natural anxiety of life being named are placing the building blocks to a secure, safe attachment with their child.
Seen, safe, secure and soothed… we ALL need this. God created us for secure attachment, it’s His heart! I see it all in scripture.
This is one of my favorites, the deep connection that was present between this woman, and Jesus is the same connection that he offers us today.

Whoever says miracles are from the past, don’t understand the power of our living, amazing God! What we experienced tonight in our first Try Softer gathering was blessings from beyond!
So grateful to have these amazing women gathering around a sacred table of connection for their healing journey! Every tear has been accounted for, every joy is worth rejoicing over! Thank you, God for your many blessings!

How can we unlearn this? By allowing our nervous system to experience the state of flow; allowing our mind, emotions, body, and spirit to align with truth. You are worthy, a child of God, who is FIRST LOVED. ♥️

You've been taught that stopping means falling behind.

Your non-conscious mind doesn't agree. It processes, consolidates, and rebuilds during the hours you call wasted. That's the actual biology of how your mind works.
Somewhere the equation got flipped. Rest became something to earn. A reward for finishing enough. And since "enough" keeps moving, the rest never comes.
Every time you push through when your body is asking for recovery, the thinking gets slower and the emotional regulation gets harder. Your mind collects the debt.
The Sunday reset isn't optional. Your neurology built it in.

Share with someone who needs the reminder to rest today. 💛

Happy St. Patrick’s day! A life-altering mystery exists that St. Patrick lived by. It is so far from what our survival nature presents but this truth will set us FREE! The power of forgiveness; recognizing our need for forgiveness and extending it to others. For those who have been forgiven much love abundantly, and the core internal motivation of humanity is to give and receive love. Because we are made in Love’s image, this defines us. Jesus taught and demonstrated this for us, but are we receiving the gift?
After the pr******te anointed his feet with oil as her tears fell, he graciously taught the religious ones….
Luke 7: 47 (NLT) “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”
