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

Creator-based® Consiousness

June 03, 2024

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...

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....
