Welcome to Week 1 of our group study of Freedom from Worry – Prayer of Peace for an Anxious Mind! I’m am so excited you are joining me and our Live Freedom from Worry class members on this journey. Each week we’ll tackle a section of the book, with insights, discussion questions and assignments.

If you live in #SWFL you can participate in the Live group at Next Level Church as I teach my way through the book and offer interactive group coaching. No cost or Next Level affiliation required to be a part of  the group. You will hear from some of the people in the group as they use the online group to stay engaged and active in between our weekly class.

If you are not a part of the live group then I strongly encourage you to create your own group. Grab your spouse, the Mom’s in your play date group, your work team or perhaps a family member somewhere else in the country to join you. You will multiply the effectiveness of your study when you connect with at least one other person to read and go through the discussion questions together.

BetterU – Yes! I Want My Life Back!

BetterU – Yes! I Want My Life Back!

Print this image on a 4×6 card and carry with you as reminder

I coach busy women all the time that have a hard time saying NO.  Sometimes they work really hard to get their schedules clear then they blink and it’s overbooked again.  Before coaching and getting clear about what I want to be, accomplish and give to others with my life I often ran myself ragged doing too many things.  As women we can be pretty resilient to living short periods of our life in this ragged state.  Often it’s not until our “raggedness” begins to affect our family, our friendships and our jobs do we stop to search for a better way. The most powerful tool I have EVER experienced and have been practicing for more than a decade is found in the 4 questions in the above image. I don’t even recall where I got them. But when I came across them I jotted them down on a 4×6 card and have carried that 4×6 card in my Daytimer ever since.  It’s still there to this day though I rarely look at it because the questions are ingrained in my memory. Now I just naturally assess new opportunities through the filter of those foundational questions.

At first glance you may think a few of the questions seem a little selfish. But stay with me, I’ll convince you that they are not. That you  are worth it! And that Yes! You can have your life back! Read the rest of this entry

BetterU – Why I have Faith

BetterU – Why I have Faith

Welcome back to my BetterU journey.  Today’s post is a continuation of my sharing my top 4 values from the TruValues program of which began a few posts  ago if you want to catch up.

Have you ever given thought to why your values are what they are? Sure much of it has to do with upbringing but what in particular? How does that affect you today? As part of the 25 step process of the TruValues program I am examining those questions and many more. Today is day 4 of a 4 day journey that dives into each of these values a little bit deeper to uncover why I believe the value is primary  in my life and how I am expressing this value today. So why am I the way I am…one who has a strong confidence and unshakeable FAITH? Read the rest of this entry
