Grit, Grace and that Magic Ingredient, Guts!

 

Create the Life You Love, the Creator-based® Way!
 
 
This morning, I had the great fortune of an early phone call with two other women of faith. I sat in my garden just at sunrise, hearing the birds' morning song and almost seeing the leaves opening on our apple tree. A fluorescent cardinal was among the wrens on the branches, and somewhere in the distance, a woodpecker was digging out his breakfast.
 
I gazed out over the 10 acres that, yes, are ours and saw the pavilion where we have had so many lovely family dinners and joyful times with children and friends.   The sun was warm on my back, the air cool on my face, and I felt truly and abundantly blessed. This is joy.
 

GRIT, GRACE & GUTS

THEN THE THOUGHT CAME
GRACED BY GRIT & GUTS
Would my 20-year-old self even believe that my being here, right now, was even possible?  Would she believe I could be actively engaged in building a business, doing what I love, with people I love? That there was still time to sit quietly and write?
 
If she were living in the Creator-based® Way, she might…but no, my 20-year-old self, living as a victim of her circumstance, would not!  Mired in the everyday demands of small children, saving for a house, and learning, learning, learning every day how to adult, she would never have considered that we would be where we are today, surrounded by women of wisdom and faith, watching the apple tree I always wanted in childhood begin to bear fruit, on acreage that is truly a gift. 
 
She couldn’t even conceive the level of peace and strength that had come from determination and good fortune, but it was there.
 
 
 
 
 
We can create these beautiful things in our own lives.  It requires focus, faith and forever recalculating in the 50/50 of life.  As we stay in the role of an active creator, and choose to opt out of victimhood, we gain strength and perspective.  Graced by Grit and Guts, we will create the life we long for.

Creator-based® Consiousness

Image
  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
