Find your purpose challenge: week 1 recap!. Day 7/

Find your purpose challenge: week 1 recap!. Day 7/31 #31daystopurpose

DAY 5/31 #31daystopurpose The biggest mistake I

DAY 5/31 #31daystopurpose

The biggest mistake I see women make when trying to determine what their purpose is - They assume it is everything.

But like in the verses we read in day 2 (Romans 12: 6-8), scripture does not tell us we have ALL the gifts. It says we have different gifts.

This can easily get confused as we watch our friends, siblings, favorite influencer tackle a new project or purpose. We can feel like we aren't doing enough because we someone else doing something different than we are.

Friend - their purpose is not your purpose.
Your purpose is not to do everything. Your purpose is yours alone.
It may not be something that is broadcast publicly. It may be supporting your kids. It may be using your skills in the corporate world to generously support the mission work of others.

But if you try to take on everything, you will miss the mark on your own calling.

Let me know if you have been distracted by this type of "gotta do it all" mentality with a “🙋🏼‍♀️”

#31daysToPurpose Challenge Day 3/31: If you want

#31daysToPurpose Challenge Day 3/31:
If you want the CLEAREST answer on what your purpose is, swipe through!

In the simplest of terms, your purpose is to Love God and Love People. That's it!

BUT the how is vastly different for all of us - which is where we get tripped up.
We are going to spend the next several days talking through how this looks for you specifically (yes -YOU!) and that is going to become clearer now that you know what your ultimate purpose is!

For fun - comment below with one way that someone has loved you well over the last month.
Feel free to tag them too and let them know you felt the love!

Still sore from my workout at @clubpilatestownelak

Still sore from my workout at @clubpilatestownelake on Friday. 💪🏻

Loved getting to hang out with friends and try out some new houston spots at @boardwalktl.

If you were to plan a fun girls day, you can’t get much better than:
Brunch at @first.watch
Power up juice from @nekterhouston
Working out at Club Pilates
And then massages with @massageheights

Highly recommend making a day of visiting @townelaketx!

A common theme has continued to pop up in my stori

A common theme has continued to pop up in my stories:

"I don't know what my purpose is. Maybe I don't have one"

It is on the lips of moms, business owners, friends and wives.

I understand the feeling. Maybe you are feeling this way right now.

Overwhelmed, tired, constantly spinning your wheels but not getting anywhere.

This is why I wanted to dedicate the next 31 days to encouraging you and helping you find your purpose.

Because you do have purpose. You are needed. And you bring something else to the table that NOBODY ELSE does. Not even Beyoncé.

Check back in here daily through the month of May as we walk through this together and turn overwhelm and exhaustion into clarity and confidence.

Are you with me?
Comment with "Let's do this!" if you are ready for the next 31 days!
And if you share on your pages tag me with #31daystopurpose

What would be your perfect Mother’s day gift?

What would be your perfect Mother’s day gift?

I can't decide if I would rather have a day just to myself to make progress on my goals.

OR a day of adventure and having fun with my family and friends.

OR maybe just a solo trip to target 😂

What is on your mother's day gift list?

Well things are going to be a little crazy for our

Well things are going to be a little crazy for our family for the next couple of weeks!

We are moving!

But only a few minutes away from our current house.
We love our neighborhood and community here and were just looking for a bit bigger backyard as our kids are growing.

This is the first time we are moving that isn't due to a flooded home - so we actually have furniture to move and things to pack!

Please leave all of your packing tricks in the comments!

Tell me if you relate - Someone tells you someth

Tell me if you relate -

Someone tells you something and it causes you to be really angry. But as you cool down, you realize that reacting in anger may be doing more harm than good.

This happened to me recently - a friend told me about a situation where someone wronged her and I was fired up and mad at the person she was telling me about. I went into the supportive friend mode, totally ready to bash the person who had been rude.

It isn't that my first reaction wasn't valid, but it shouldn't have been my final reaction. And if I had let my first reaction be my final reaction - I probably would have said some really negative things, that would have made it awkward when she and her other friend reconciled and got over their tiff.

If I had popped off and shared my first reaction (and I have done so many times) it would have been important for me to go back and share my final reaction with her as well.

Friends - let your final reaction to any situation be one that is rooted in kindness and grace.
That doesn't mean that you need to let people walk all over you, or that you need to stay in toxic relationships - this is just to encourage you that your first response to a frustrating situation doesn't have to be the last word. You can go back and respond with grace when you cool down.

Any other hotheads out here? (totally me 🙋‍♀️)
