Raising Awareness for Transverse Myelitis on June 9, 2025

Every year on June 9, the world observes Transverse Myelitis (TM) Awareness Day — a time to shine a light on a rare neurological condition that affects thousands of individuals and their families. As a Christian woman and life coach, I believe that awareness not only informs, but also inspires compassion, advocacy, and action. Whether you or someone you love has been touched by TM, today is a day to pause, pray, and raise awareness.

What is Transverse Myelitis?

Transverse Myelitis is a rare inflammation of the spinal cord that disrupts the way the brain and body communicate. It can result in pain, muscle weakness, sensory issues, and even paralysis. Some recover fully, while others face lifelong disability. It affects people of all ages and backgrounds, often without warning.

Common symptoms include:

• Sudden onset of back pain

• Weakness in the arms or legs

• Abnormal sensations (tingling, numbness)

• Bladder or...

💜 When the Pain Pounds Loud 💜

Some days the world feels too loud.
The lights too bright.
The pressure too heavy.
And for many women, migraines and headaches are more than occasional inconveniences—they are life-altering battles.

June is Migraine & Headache Awareness Month, a time to bring hope, education, and support to the millions who silently suffer. If you are one of them, dear sister, please know this: you are not alone, and you are not forgotten.

📖 “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” — Isaiah 40:29

💠 Understanding the Storm

Migraines are not just “bad headaches.”
They can come with nausea, visual disturbances (auras), sensitivity to sound and light, and even speech difficulty. Tension headaches, cluster headaches, and sinus headaches also rob many women of focus, energy, and peace.

Science tells us that migraines can be triggered by:

• Hormonal changes (especially around menstruation or menopause)

• Stress and poor

Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend or the unofficial start of summer. It is a sacred pause—an invitation to remember the brave men and women who laid down their lives for the freedoms we now enjoy.

As we wave flags, gather with loved ones, and bow our hearts in gratitude, let us also ask a question that goes deeper than tradition:

How can I honor their sacrifice with the way I live—body, soul, and spirit?

One of the most powerful ways we can show honor is by choosing to steward our health well. When we care for our bodies, guard our minds, and live intentionally, we do more than survive—we reflect the beauty of a life lived with purpose.

🕊️ A Holy Stewardship

Your health is not merely a personal project. It is a stewardship—a sacred trust from God.

📖 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you… and ye are not your own?” —1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)

We often rush through life, filling our days with tasks and worries, forgetting ...

March is known for many things — the fresh stirrings of spring, the blooming of hope after winter's long hold, and the anticipation of Easter's glorious promise. But did you know that March is also National MS Education and Awareness Month?

As Christian women walking in Truth, we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) — and that includes becoming informed, compassionate, and prayerful about the struggles others quietly carry. One such burden is Multiple Sclerosis, a complex, often invisible illness that affects more than 2.8 million people worldwide, many of whom are women.

Let us take this month to learn, support, and uplift those navigating this journey—perhaps sisters in Christ, family members, or even yourself.

🌸 What Is MS?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system — the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (called myelin), dis...

🧠💛 Coaching for Whole Health

International Coaching Week | May 12–18, 2025
By Sandra Krug | Life Coach for Ladies™

Have you ever felt like your health goals—mental, emotional, or physical—are always slipping just out of reach?

Maybe you are doing “all the right things”... eating better, moving more, journaling, praying… but still feel exhausted, discouraged, or like you are stuck in a loop of good intentions and unfinished progress.

You are not alone.
And more importantly—you are not broken. You are just overwhelmed. And that is exactly where coaching comes in.

🌿 Coaching Is Not Just About Goals—It Is About Alignment

As a Christian Life Coach and Truth Mindset™ Strategist, I often tell women:

“Your breakthrough does not start with what you do. It starts with what you believe.”

Why? Because true health begins in the mind.
Scripture confirms it:

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
– Romans 12:2 (KJV)

Most women I ...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to bring light to a subject often whispered about but deeply affecting many lives. As Christian women, we are called to be compassionate, informed, and prayerful as we support those navigating mental health challenges. This month, let us reflect on how faith, wisdom, and care intersect when it comes to mental and emotional well-being.

I am grateful to share that I became certified as a Mental Health First Aid Facilitator, equipped to present and educate at my church. This training does not make me a therapist, but it allows me to offer vital support in recognizing the signs of mental health struggles and to point individuals to the right resources. Mental Health First Aid teaches us how to respond with compassion and wisdom until professional help can step in.

Coaching and Mental Health: Understanding the Difference

In my role as a life coach, I am passionate about helping women discover how to live purposefully, aligned with Biblical ...

On April 28th each year, nations around the globe pause to recognize World Day for Safety and Health at Work — a day set aside to highlight the great importance of creating and maintaining safe, healthy work environments for all.

This vital observance, led by the United Nations and the International Labour Organization, calls upon individuals, businesses, and governments to reflect on the dignity of labor and the sacred responsibility of protecting those who work with their hands, hearts, and minds.

Work, when rightly understood, is a gift from God — a calling to stewardship, creativity, and service. In the very beginning, before sin entered the world, man was placed in the Garden of Eden "to dress it and to keep it." (Genesis 2:15, KJV) Work was part of the beauty of creation, intended to be fruitful, meaningful, and yes — safe.

It is fitting, then, that we take time to honor those who work and to advocate for conditions that protect the bodies, minds, and spirits of every worker.

In today’s world, sugar hides behind nearly every label, every craving, and every “treat yourself” moment.
While it may promise momentary pleasure, it often delivers lasting harm.

As Christian women called to steward our bodies for God's glory, it is time we take a closer look at the role sugar plays in our health—and why making wise choices is part of our faithful walk.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV) reminds us,
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

What we eat is not just a physical act.
It is a spiritual stewardship.

The Hidden Dangers of Sugar

Sugar is not simply about "empty calories."
It is a hidden enemy that undermines health in profound ways:

1. Sugar Weakens the Immune System

Consuming large amounts of sugar reduces the effectiveness of immune cells, leaving the body more vulnerable to illness.
In a world where staying healthy is vital, sugar quietly wages war on your defenses.

2. Sugar Fuels Inflammation

Chronic infla...

🕊️A Call to Steward Your Health for God's Glory

As we walk through Holy Week, each day carries deep spiritual significance. Holy Monday, in particular, draws our attention to one of the most striking moments in Jesus' ministry—the cleansing of the temple. This event, recorded in all four Gospels, reveals Jesus' righteous zeal for purity, holiness, and alignment with God’s purpose.

"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple..." – Matthew 21:12 (KJV)

But what does Holy Monday have to do with our health?

Everything.

🏛️ Your Body is a Temple

As Jesus cleansed the physical temple in Jerusalem, He was setting an example that echoes in our own lives today. Under the New Covenant, the temple is no longer made of stone. It is you.

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" – 1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)

This Holy Monday, take a moment to pa...

Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures in 2025

Introduction:

World Health Day 2025 invites us to reflect on how healthy beginnings can lead to hopeful futures. For Christian women, this is not just about physical wellness but embracing health as a sacred act of stewardship. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, KJV), and caring for them is a reflection of honoring the God who created us.

Let this day be more than a global observation—let it be a personal invitation to pause, reset, and realign your health journey with God’s divine design.

1. Start with the Heart: A Spiritual Reset

Health begins with the heart—not just physically, but spiritually. As Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) reminds us, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Spiritual wellness is the foundation of every other area of health. Begin your journey by spending time in the Word, renewing your mind, and allowing God's peace to anchor your soul.
