a voice to say... What Are You Going To Do About It?

Today is Book Lovers Day! This year I set a goal to expand my knowledge by reading 52 books this year. On book number 13 I hit a place where I wanted to give up because I felt like nothing was changing in my life. I then realized that knowledge is only power if you take action. 

Knowledge without action is just clutter collecting dust in our mental space. Its time that we start applying the things we know in life and see the results blossom. You were given a blessing to have the ability to obtain knowledge but you are also blessed with the ability to take that energy and put it into momentum. The world loves to learn but we only get behind and follow those who take action and produce outcomes. People don't care if your the smartest persons in the room, they care about what you're doing to make society better. 

Sometimes in life we have all this knowledge and don't even know where to start taking action. My encouragement is that you start somewhere and don't worry about it being perfect. Maybe you need accountability to give you ideas of where to start. If that is what you are looking for. Reach out to me and lets get you started on a 90 day program to live a life worth a legacy. 

Now you know but WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

a voice to say... Dare

True Story: 

Back in high school I was dared to try out for a sport. 

That sport was 💥CHEERLEADING💥. 

I was great at picking up chicks. My squad was the best and did way cooler things that made me look cool just standing with them. 

My squad did so many amazing things, we went on to become state champs. (Number one in your home, number one in your hearts ♥️)

I miss my squad but I never stopped being a cheerleader. 

A life coach is not only a coach but your number one supporter and cheerleader. 

I want to be your cheerleader, I want to be your encouragement! 

G-O YOU! 📣

So question... How can I be cheering for you and encouraging you this week? How can I do that for your life? 

Let’s get ☕️ and chat. (I dare you 😉)

a voice to say... You're Beautiful

“Don’t need makeup, to cover up, being the way that you are is enough” One Direction nailed it with their “What Makes You Beautiful” song.

This is a message to all you ladies.  You are all beautiful!  What is true beauty?  Does it come from perfect hair and clothes? Do you really need makeup to be beautiful?  From a guy’s perspective, there are naturally beautiful girls out there hiding their beauty with layers of makeup.  What is the cost of beauty in a world where girls feel like they look sick without masking themselves? 

In my opinion, most girls look a million times better when they show the way God intended them to look.  They let their hearts communicate their beauty rather than products they buy in the makeup aisles at Target.  True confidence will never come out of a bottle or makeup brush.  True confidence comes from embracing the person God made you to be.  That confidence is inner beauty which obscures and conceals “flaws” better than anything Covergirl can produce. 

So maybe you think makeup helps you a little bit.  It isn’t about the physical attributes of makeup at all.  It’s a heart issue.  Know that you are beautiful.  Be vulnerable in a world saying to hide your true nature.  Make your face an example to others that honesty and vulnerability can have physical applications.  Lead the young women and girls that are in your path to know that they were created in God’s image.  Teach them that it is more important to be lovely on the inside than “lovely” by magazine standards on the outside.  Truly love others by encouraging yourself to be more open. 

What messages are adults sending when 11 year olds think they are ugly without makeup?  How sad that the emphasis on outward appearance is impacting girls so young.  Every girl should feel like a princess no matter what she looks like.  No girl should be made to feel hideous if she removes her mask and lets people see her with no tricks.

Dudes, encourage the ladies in your lives.  Remind them that they are perfectly and wonderfully made.  The world is sending them a lot of hate so counterattack those messages with love and encouragement.  Build them up to see their true value.  Pray them through their struggles of accepting themselves.

Someone told me recently that I can’t sing.  Well how do we know that God likes the way the people on American Idol sing?  I mean the Bible does say that He likes the smell of burning flesh of Old Testament sacrifices.  Obviously human definitions can be wrong so who has the right to tell you what you have to do or have to be beautiful?

I challenge you ladies to go a week without makeup.  If it is really difficult, seek God to help you through it.  Pray for understanding and confidence.  Pray to be able to really and truly love those around you and yourself by throwing off the façade.  If at the end of the week, you have truly seen and accepted your true beauty, you may not even return to makeup.  Don’t take the easy way.  Everything worth having in life comes with a challenge.  Take this challenge and be set free from the bondage of insecurity.

I would like to also give a shout out to my beautiful older sister on her birthday today. Happy birthday sissy.
