Loved one in crisis? You need to know, now!

relationships Dec 09, 2019

Tiffany Marie Olson was a beautiful young lady from Manatee County. She enjoyed the ocean. And, like all of us at Farmhouse Animal and Nature Sanctuary, Tiffany also loved all animals. She cherished her dog Simba. Simba had been found injured on the side of the road as a puppy and had surgery to mend injuries to her hindquarters. Tiffany adopted and rehabilitated her. Tiffany was also very close to her mother Christine. They enjoyed taking day trips together.
 

 
This year Tiffany would have been 36 years old. But in December 2005, she and her boyfriend Dustin were killed by a drunk driver. They were both on a motorcycle, wearing helmets when the drunk driver pulled out in front of them. Tiffany was thrown from the back of the motorcycle and died instantly. Dustin died as well. They were 15 minutes from our home. This fatal accident occurred at 7:01 PM. At 11:15 PM, Christine received a call from her son Darek. He had received word that his sister had been in an accident. There were n

What If You Created Exciting Hope Every Day?

relationships Dec 06, 2019

🌿 

How different would your life be if every day…
You created hope in those around you?

Not just offered advice.
Not just checked a task off your list.
But became a living wellspring of hope — someone who refreshes the weary and lifts the discouraged.

Hope is not a shallow word.
It is a holy force that keeps people breathing when life gets hard.

And here is the truth:
You were created to carry it.

 

💡 Hope is Contagious

Hope is not about having all the answers. It is about believing there is still a way forward — even when the path is hard to see.

When you speak hope…

  • Eyes begin to lift.

  • Shoulders start to relax.

  • Hearts dare to believe again.

Romans 15:13 (KJV) says:

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”

Did you catch that?
Hope is something God fills you with — so you can abound in it… and pour it out to others.

When you choose to speak hope, you become a v...

The Currency of Trust in the World

relationships Nov 01, 2019

🤝 Building Relationships That Last

There is a quiet force at work in every healthy relationship — a power that is often overlooked until it is lost. It is not talent, charisma, or shared history.

It is trust.

Trust is the currency of relationships and the byproduct of integrity.
You cannot demand it. You cannot fake it. And you certainly cannot lead well without it.

 

💔 Can You Have a Good Relationship Without Trust?

Of course not.
Without trust, a relationship becomes unstable — like a house built on sand.
People withdraw. Walls go up. Conversations become guarded. And soon, connection turns into coexistence.

Whether it is in the bedroom or the boardroom, trust is what holds the structure of a relationship together.

  • In marriage, trust creates safety, intimacy, and teamwork.

  • In parenting, trust fosters obedience, openness, and respect.

  • In leadership, trust inspires follow-through, ownership, and innovation.

Without trust, people will not fully support your vi...

The Hidden Dangers of Being Too Nice

relationships Oct 25, 2019

 A genuinely decent or ‘nice’ woman is always a blessing to those they come in contact with throughout their days. It is an admirable quality that anyone would wish to have more contact with, especially to offset the spite and hate that can sometimes seem predominant.

 

Terrible news happens every day. And it is also extensively broadcast. People have never been more divided by what they believe and prove themselves correct, sometimes reaching a point of violence.

 

The world could make use of some altruism and genuine kindness today. The glaring truth is that we would live better if more good-hearted women were around in our midst.

 

But when you are a good and decent woman who is nice to the point of enabling others, it can often cause more detriment than benefit.

This occurs in two ways:

  • there are always people who will take advantage of a woman’s good nature, or
  • if these ‘nice’ behaviors manifest for the wrong reasons, it can be an unhealthy barrier to self-growth.

How Your Authentic Confidence Can Change A Life

relationships Oct 04, 2019

🌟 The Power of Belief

Have you ever done more than you thought you could — simply because someone else believed you could?

A kind word. A steady look. A quiet, unwavering, “I know you can.”

Belief is a seed that blossoms into courage.
And when someone plants it in you, something shifts.
You rise a little taller. Try a little harder. Risk a little more.

Because sometimes, it takes another person’s belief and confidence to awaken what was buried inside you.

 

👶 Children Crave Belief from Their Parents

The words a parent speaks over a child will echo for a lifetime.
Belief is not just encouragement — it is identity-shaping confidence.

  • When a mother says, “You are wise,” her daughter grows into discernment.

  • When a father says, “I believe in you,” his son rises into strength.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) says:

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Belief trains more than behavior — it shapes destiny.

When a child know...

Leadership Skill Results in Better Relationships

relationships Oct 02, 2019

Everyone has leadership potential. Some women are outgoing, strong leaders, while others are reserved and lead quietly. For any woman looking to progress to a management position or show their effectiveness when faced with authority, leadership skills are a must.

 

But, you need to develop your leadership potential as part of your self-improvement, not necessarily because you intend to go into leadership, but for the benefits it will bring to all of your relationships.

 

Leadership skills are connected more to the woman than it is to the role itself and, therefore, is relevant in a wide range of disciplines. Leadership is about collaborating with others, from understanding different perspectives and managing conflicts, to building good working relationships and quality teams.

 

An important skill a leader needs is to think strategically. This helps you know your strengths, recognize your weaknesses, and how to make both work for you. A benefit of developing your leadership poten...

Strife to Strength: Overcome Difficult Relationships with Practical Grace

relationships Apr 05, 2019

By Coach Sandra | Life Coach for Ladies | Truth Mindset™ Strategist

 

Let us be honest—relationships can be hard.

Even godly women sometimes struggle to navigate conflict, miscommunication, and emotional tension with those they love. Whether it is a strained marriage, a difficult friendship, a critical in-law, or a tense coworker, difficult relationships are part of life—but they do not have to define your life.

As Christian women, we are called not just to keep peace, but to make peace. And that requires more than patience—it requires Spirit-led communication skills and a renewed mindset.

“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” – Romans 12:18 (KJV)

🌷 How Christian Women Create Legacy

By Coach Sandra | Life Coach for Ladies | Truth Mindset™ Strategist

 

You may not carry a title.
You may not be on a stage.
You may not even see yourself as a leader.

But if you are a Christian woman walking in truth, living by faith, and loving others well—you are already leading.

Leadership is not about positions. It is about influence.
And the most powerful kind of influence is the kind that starts in the heart and flows into relationships—with family, friends, co-workers, and community.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
