Walking on Rubies

  We all have a choice in how we live our lives; we can go through the motions, or we can be intentional about our actions. Being intentional means living on purpose, with purpose, and actively making choices that align with our values and goals. It’s about taking ownership of our lives and taking the steps necessary towards creating a meaningful life. To be intentional, you must first identify what you want to achieve. What are your goals, and what steps do you need to take to get there? Break them down into smaller, manageable actions that you can accomplish each day. Make a schedule and stick to it! Create a morning routine that energizes you and sets you up for success. Practice self-care, exercise, and eat well. All of these actions will enable you to be more productive and focused throughout the day. Next, surround yourself with positive influences. Seek out like-minded individuals who share your values and interests. Create a support network, a coach, family, friends, a m...

  Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut, going through the motions of your daily routine without any real purpose or passion? It's okay to feel this way; it's a natural part of the human experience. But it's also important to remember that you have the power to make a change whenever you get ready! Embrace change and embrace the power of growth and transformation. Change can be scary, but it can also be liberating and empowering. It's an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and make room for new experiences and opportunities. When we embrace change, we open ourselves up to growth and transformation. We learn more about ourselves, our passions, and our purpose. We uncover our hidden strengths, and we become more resilient and adaptable. We start to become who God designed us to be. Transformation is a process , and it takes time. It requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to let go of the past. But t he reward is worth it. When we tran...

Do you find yourself in a place where you just really want something more? Do you NEED more? You aren’t alone in your desire to live more freely, passionately, and boldly. I’m sure we all feel this way at some point in our lives, yearning to break free from the constraints that inhibit us from living authentically , in our God-designed purpose, and to our fullest potential. For many of us, myself included, this longing for more has been an unwanted tenant living rent-free throughout our adult lives. For years, I found myself caught in the cycle of people-pleasing and compromising my own desires and aspirations for the sake of others. I allowed the fear of disappointing those around me to dictate my choices , often sacrificing my own happiness and fulfillment. The people around me were all good, and I was a hot mess inside . I settled for jobs that failed to ignite my passion and merely went through the motions, feeling trapped by expectations and obligations that weren’t my own. Day af...

I’m sure you’ve heard of vision boards, but maybe you’ve never made or used one effectively enough to see the vision come to live. A vision board is essentially a large poster or set of pictures that you construct to help you achieve your goals.   For example, if you dream of traveling across the world on a 90 day cruise, you would add the cruise ship, a sample itinerary, luggage, and the ticket. It might sound like silly new-age nonsense, but a vision board are still very much useful! “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7, NKJV). Consider what a vision board does for you: ●      It forces you to decide on your goals.     ●      It requires you to review your goals daily.     ●      It sensitizes you to opportunities that aid in the achievement of your goals. However, it does not magically make the objects of your desire appear in your life without any work on your part. You’ll stil...

Throughout your life, I’m sure you’ve meant to do a lot of things, we all have. You might have intended to work in a particular field, live in a certain area, or take up some hobbies and activities. Yet everyday life just kind of intervened and prevented you from doing what you want to do. And here you are — still wishing you can accomplish some of the goals and desires you established a long time ago. Some of the activities you want to do might even come up in conversation from time to time. You start out by saying, “One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is…” or “I’ve always thought about doing…” Roy T. Bennett, the author of The Light in the Heart, noted, that, “When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes, and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance, and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.” So, how can you stop talking and start doing what you intend to do? What does it take to follow throu...
