Feel like something is just absent from your life? Focusing on yourself, not others, may be the key to what is missing!

Are you comparing yourself to others and coming up short? It is time to end that destructive habit. Comparisons get you nowhere! Instead of leading to positive improvements, they cause you pain and discontentment.

A better option is to focus on your own needs and wants. You are a unique woman who requires a personal tactic! This method helps you boost your self-image because you are focused on refining yourself and not struggling to outrun someone else in an unknown race.

Learning to focus on yourself instead of everyone else around you is challenging. Women are so focused on families and friends that we do not appreciate how to focus on choices that define our lives.

Try these five tips to help you focus on thoroughly experiencing your life:

1. Allocate one hour a day to "me time." During this time, focus entirely on yourself and the things you nee

Anything you focus on will usually manifest itself in your life. Many individuals refer to this as the Law of Attraction. Unlike the speed limit, it is one of those universal laws that you really cannot break. Sooner or later, whatever you focus on will be what your life becomes.

Discovering the proper life focus can be challenging. Lots of factors catch your attention and drag you away from your passions. If you devote too much time to look at the distractions of life, those distractions can keep you from accomplishing the things you value most.

Activities to Focus on in Your Life

Countless ideas, obligations, and thoughts compete for your attention every day. Consider the following questions when you are trying to decide on the activities you want to focus on more deeply:

1. Where would you like to be in your profession? If you are not where you would like to be, what could you do to move forward in the direction of your professional aspirations?
2. How are your relation

Despite what you might think, nothing is between you and your goals! Obstacles are for conquering, so long as you keep trying. You can reach excellence if you do your best to get to your fullest potential.

Apply these three easy steps for just four minutes daily, and you will be on your way to extraordinary successes:

1. Reaffirm your self-belief. It is easy to suffer the loss of your self-confidence. When it seems like things are not going your way, the instinct is to feel doubtful. It is crucial to reaffirm your self-belief daily.

* Look in the mirror. Tell yourself that you trust in your capabilities.

* Reflect on the past. Think about all you have accomplished. If you have been successful in the past, why couldn't you do it again?

* Write a personal affirmation. Commit it to memory. Recite it daily. Positive self-talk can offer you the motivation to go after anything your heart desires.

2. Assess your hard work. Take time every day to evaluate your efforts. Did you try your b

It is the time of the year, again, when we break open our shiny new planners and start dreaming big. Next year will be different! I can feel it! Of course, as the saying goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So, this year, I would like to invite you to try something different!

“When you can’t change the direction of the wind – adjust your sails” is an inspirational quote from writer H. Jackson Brown, Jr. It has depth and meaning if things are going on in the life that you cannot control.

The only issues you can change are the ones over which you have some control. Therefore, you need to find a way to adjust your sails and look to the future rather than spending more time on what is not working.

When a sailor knows a storm is coming from a particular direction, he or she will adjust their sails and let the wind blow them in the opposite direction. Remaining on the same course would mean being caught up in ...

🌟 A Christmas Eve Personal-Development Journey for Christian Women

Christmas Eve is a holy hush—a sacred pause between the ordinary and the extraordinary. While the world finishes its final errands and children watch the clock, heaven invites us to lean close to the manger once again. For Christian women who long to mature in faith, character, and purpose, this night offers more than nostalgia; it offers a living lesson in personal development.

1. Receive the Gift of Presence

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
—John 1:14 KJV

Personal growth begins with presence. Jesus did not remain distant; He stepped into history, into humility, into humanity. Pause this evening, silence every notification, and notice Emmanuel—“God with us”—right where you are. Cultivating presence sharpens your awareness, strengthens your relationships, and opens your heart to God-appointed opportunities.

Practice:
Sit by the tree or the candlelight for five unhurried minutes. Breathe dee...

Are You Living the Purpose God Has Called You To?

Have you ever asked, "Am I truly living out the purpose God has called me to?" As Christian women, we desire to align our lives with God’s will, yet the busyness of life, personal doubts, and unclear direction can often make us feel like we are falling short. Is your life filled with peace and fulfillment, or does it sometimes feel more like an endless to-do list, leaving you spiritually drained?

If you feel disconnected from your purpose or are questioning how to live in alignment with God's plan, you are not alone. Many Christian women wrestle with this same uncertainty. But here's the truth—God has designed each of us with a unique purpose, and the path to that purpose begins with clarity and spiritual alignment.

Why Purpose Matters

As Proverbs 19:21 (KJV) tells us, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand." This scripture reminds us that though we may have many plans and...

The Christmas holiday season is supposed to be a wonderful time for you and your family. But, sometimes, the stresses leading up to the holidays make it seem like quite the opposite. Remember that there are ways to enjoy yourself and survive the holiday crunch even in poor economic times.

Saving Money

Chances are you will be spending money during this holiday season. Through careful planning, you can make a small budget go quite a long way.

Consider the following holiday money-saving suggestions:

1. Conserve Throughout the Year. Most women let the holidays creep up on them. Suddenly, they realize it is only weeks before the holidays, and they need to start preparing. You cannot pull money out of nowhere, and you should resist the urge to put all of your purchases on credit. If you have done this in the past, you know first hand that you may still be paying for last year's gift charges for years!

* Try automatically withdrawing a small sum of money from every paycheck that g...

Every woman has areas of life where there is a lack of organization. Whether at home or the office, we misplace things and cannot find items when we need them because we are not orderly.

What happens when systems are not put into place?  What if an organizing system is not established? Well things get lost, chaos ensues, and you lose time looking for stuff! I have multiple businesses and do animal rescue. My schedule is nuts.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to stay organized! Here are hacks for you that I use to keep myself and my businesses as organized as possible and I promise will save you time (and maybe a little sanity!) 

Being organized is a great help with time management. Declutter both home and office before attempting to tackle keeping organized and managing time better.

     1. Forget complicated systems.

Any systems you use for organizing that take a lot of time to keep up with are wastes of time. Remember, an organizational system improves your...

Disruptions are giant time thieves in your life. Have you ever considered how many hours are stolen from your days by other people or situations barging into your schedule?

Tips to help you better manage disruptions:

1. Make time during every aspect of your day for the interruptions that we all experience.

You will never have a single day not disrupted by something unexpected. This is usually what throws women off course. It breaks your concentration, making it harder for you to get the flow back.

If you are at work and a coworker pops in for “just a minute,” you will observe that it repeatedly takes a lot of time. Before you know, an hour passes, and you cannot get time back.

You want to give time for these interruptions by looking at your day and figuring out how much time to devote to disturbances. For instance, if someone walks in your department, you can tell them, “I’m working on a project. I can only spare ten minutes.”

At the end of ten minutes, if they...
