It’s August, and that means Christmas stuff will be hitting the store shelves soon. The madness of creating the “perfect” holiday experience begins. There is no question why people are burned out, living unfulfilled lives. We eat and drink to excess, trying to fill a void that can only be filled through spirituality. Slow down. Listen to the voice of God. Be still…#heart #spirit #dreams #desire #inspiration #gifts #encouragement #stillness #quiet #listen #fulfillment

When we make a purchase, we know the cost of the item before completing the transaction. When we venture out into the unknown territory of pursuing our purpose, we know neither the eventual outcome or the blood, sweat and tears required to accomplish it. But isn’t fulfillment worth it? No matter the cost…#heart #purpose #fulfillment #drive #desire #inspiration #encouragement

The 17th century French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote about a “God-shaped vacuum” inside the hearts of men. What are you filling it with? More stuff? A greater position? Power? Seek your God-given purpose and you will find fulfillment…#heart #purpose #drive #desire #fulfillment #inspiration #encouragement

Everyone loves a comeback story.

Are you curious about things? Do you find yourself questioning why you are the way you are? Our curious nature taps into the creative side of our brains. Logic and reason takes you part of the way to finding answers, but curiosity and imagination finishes the job. Expand your thinking. Stay curious…#heart #curiosity #imagination #purpose #inspiration #encouragement

Every day, sometimes several times per day there is a new controversy people feel the need to weigh in on. Social media has given the world a voice. Fair enough, but is your voice filled with vision, or just white noise? If vision, communicate with clarity in a spirit of gentleness. If noise, perhaps it’s a good idea to examine the motive behind what you say. Create solutions and bridge divisions, not more problems…#heart #purpose #voice #vision #solutions #reach #impact #inspiration #encouragement

This weekend, our hearts were touched by two mass shootings. Unthinkable tragedy has rocked our realities to the core. Again. My conversation with our Magnificent Creator was to ask for solutions. He can give them where mankind cannot. Join me in this request. There is strength in numbers…#heart #prayer #purpose #pain #solutions #inspiration #encouragement

I know people who have constructed walls around themselves. Perhaps you are one of the people who has built a wall. It’s there to protect you from getting hurt again. The damage done to you is real. There is healing available, when you’re ready. Don’t be afraid to trust others one more time. There are good people in the world. Search and find them…#heart #purpose #drive #desire #walls #freedom #inspiration #encouragement

In our culture, getting ahead is the norm. Getting the farthest ahead is the prize, right? It is, but how are you getting there? When you meet someone, get to know them, who they are rather than simply viewing them as a pawn in your game of chess. Using people to advance our lives is not new, nor is it necessary. Help others get what they want and you will get everything you want. Life is a boomerang…#heart #purpose #drive #desire #boomerang #inspiration #encouragement #businesswoman #business #karma

Growth is painful sometimes. As we develop, not only do we move out of our comfort zones, we face some hard truths about ourselves and our beliefs. Old, unhealthy habits are replaced with new ways of thinking. We are becoming who we are meant to be…#heart #purpose #beliefs #drive #desire #inspiration #growth #encouragement
