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® Criticism

December 10, 2021

Just as we can create good in our lives, we can also create situations that are really, truly, not so good. Take your very creative, story telling, inner critic. Has she been active lately? The holidays are a time when my critic really gets going. How do your calm your inner critic? My first ‘go to’ is prayer. In meditation I connect with my Creator knowing that all the love and answers I need are found there. I receive comfort and constructive guidance through my Creator on the regular. Second: Try bringing in experiences that create light in your life like: Spending time with people that love you ; on the phone, text, social media, or gasp- live! Good friends who see you for who you are Third: Consider prayerfully releasing the thoughts, beliefs and emotions that fuel that old pattern of criticism . I train people to do that in my practice for free- just schedule an Emo...

Creator-based® Choosing

May 08, 2023

It's a brand new day, and I get to do anything I want to with it. Today is a new day- right? It’s the fresh beginning of a new week. A Gift. But do I really get to do anything I want with it? There a nagging objection there. I mean, I have appointments and commitments and promises to keep. Is what’s on my list what I want? If you are feeling heavy in life, maybe it’s time to look again at what you want. Your fundamental desires. Allow me to share a few of mine; maybe it will activate thoughts on some of yours. I want to feel loved, confident, and of value. I want to feel in flow with my creator and those I love. I want to actively contribute to my community. What do you want? This month is listening month, and I’m sure, my friend, that there is a small voice inside you actively trying to let you know what she wants. Quite often, that voice communicates through anxiety, fatigue, or pain. If she feels afraid or uncertain, the fear may manifest in a...
