A Creator-based® Life

  Create the Life You Love, the Creator-based ®  Way! MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION Hey friend! Can you believe January is almost over?  All the excitement about What’s Your Word and Your INSPIRED Goals may be beginning to fade.  But don’t worry- the month of self-love is fast approaching.   As we finish this first month in 2024, let's visit for a minute on hope for the future.  As holiday excitement and New Year resolutions fade, hope may fade, too.  But here are a few tips and tricks to keep the hope going-   Remember something you are grateful for.  I always feel more hopeful when remembering the good things in my life.  Indoor plumbing, central heat, and air, and clean, clear water straight from the tap top my list.  What’s on yours?

MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION   Have you ever been lonesome while in a group of people?  Remember that middle school fear of not having someone to sit with at lunch, or being picked last for kickball?  It can be quite daunting, feeling alone and different in a group.   The thing is, we  are  different.  We are different by divine design and those differences are what give our lives delightful purpose and energy. Why then, do we feel lonesome in those differences sometimes?   The Stories I Tell Myself in My Head.   I listened to a coaching call this morning.  When the gal who came for help had finished explaining herself- and it took awhile -her wise coach said, “I’m going to ask you to do something very difficult.
