Monday Morning Inspiration

How was your holiday last week?

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a vacation from my holiday! It was such a lovely whirlwind, but I need a little downtime to catch my breath.

That’s the way it works for me as an introvert. I love my people so much, but I also need to recharge in a quiet, undemanding space to feel like myself again.

For a long time, though, I thought my introverted tendencies and need for quiet were a weakness.

As a kid, I spent hours wandering the woods, gathering wildflowers, snacking on wild strawberries, and dancing where no one could see me. Those moments of solitude filled me up. Afterward, I felt ready to face the world again. But I kept that part of myself quiet, believing that needing downtime somehow made me “less than.”

Looking back now, I realize how wrong I was.

Thank you Holly Gerth, one of my favorite introverts!

Those so-called 'weaknesses' weren’t the end of my story—they were the beginning of something more profound. What I saw as flaws were actually gifts that helped shape me.

Weakness isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of transformation.

When we embrace life with humility and a willingness to grow, what we once saw as flaws can become opportunities for strength—features.

Weakness isn’t something to hide or be ashamed of; it’s part of being human. It’s the gateway to becoming exactly who we’re meant to be.

This realization came during a tough season of life. What felt like a major weakness at the time opened the door to incredible growth. It was hard and messy, but it was also beautiful. That’s a story for another day, but I can tell you this: embracing weakness changed everything for me.

Leaning into learning and change, we can discover new strengths we never knew we had. Those ‘weaknesses' are keys to becoming who we are meant to be.

Here’s to loving where we are, my friend—weaknesses, strengths, and all—and trusting that it’s leading us to something good.

Have a wonderful New Year, and let’s talk soon!

All my love,

Beth

Feeling scattered, friend? Here's the secret to living fully present!

April 28, 2025

Monday Morning Inspiration Faith Fueled, Creator Led. PRESENCE – FINDING PEACE IN THE NOW, THE CREATOR-BASED® WAY Welcome back! Can we just take a breath together for a moment? The kind where you pause, close your eyes, and feel the quiet whisper of your Creator saying, “I’m with you right now.” In Creator-based® Coaching, presence is sacred. It’s not just about sitting still—it’s about being still in Him. It’s about stepping out of your head, where anxiety and self-doubt swirl, and stepping into your personal center, where our Creator gently reminds you: You are safe. You are loved. You are held. Presence is one of Dick Schwartz’s 5 P’s of Self, and it’s foundational for healing. When we’re present, we’re connected—not just to ourselves, but to the Creator who formed us, knows us, and deeply cares for every little part of us. In fact, we teach that it’s only from this grounded, connected place that true transformation happens. ...

Creator-based® Collections

July 18, 2022

When I was a little girl, I had a bottle cap collection. My older sister’s boyfriend had collected literally hundreds of different bottle caps and then lost interest. You know, the kind from a glass soda bottle you have to take off with a bottle opener? It was cool because it was his, and I was only 11. I was the happy recipient of his collection and continued to add to it as I grew older. Eventually, those bottle caps filled a small trash can- a decorator can, of course, and I was proud of it…..for a while…….and then I discovered boys, make-up, music, started dating, and couldn’t tell you where it ended up. Last I saw it; it was in the basement. That’s the way with many collections. We collect photographs of our family. I have many photo albums, and I treasure them. Some collections are truly precious. One of my favorite photo albums is the very first one I made. It was a gift for my husband, a memory of our time tog...

What is the Creator-based® Way? Jan 2, 23

January 02, 2023

What is the Creator-based® Way? What does it mean for you? (It means, happily, that you get to choose!). This past Christmas weekend, though glorious, was a roller coaster of emotions. All weekend long, I was given the choice to act and think as a victim or a creator. You were too. Maybe you missed loved ones or were without the funds you wanted to buy that perfect present. Maybe you have been sick or chronically ill, alone, single, divorced, or just plain unhappy. If you are experiencing any of these, this is where you can really thrive! You see, in the Creator-based® Way, you are the creator of your life and your experience in it. You are not a victim of your circumstances - unemployment, loss, illness, or rejection. Within you is light and truth, all the power you need to grow and progress. You have incredible capacities. By making a deliberate choice to be the person acting instead of a person who feels they are being acted upon...
