Hey,
Let's start the decluttering process! Today we begin the room by room journey of decluttering our homes. And we are taking it easy by starting in the living room.
We talk about the questions to ask yourself as you start decluttering. Instead of just feeling like you have to clear everything out, we take an intentional approach of figuring out what's important in the space for the way you want it to look and function.
It always come down to what will make your room feel more peaceful, work the way you need it to, and will make your day easier in any way. So this means you might need to make a spot for a few toys or take out some furniture. Be open to what will make the best room for your family to want to be in during this season of life!
With bold love, peace and intention,
Julie

Hey,
It's October and what a great time of year to embrace all the goodness of fall and fun of Halloween. Today we are checking in with how last month went? Anything that still needs your attention this month in order to simplify and be more productive?
Then we move on to the topics for the month you might want to focus on. Aside from Halloween costumes, don't forget you've got to eat! Fall is time for all the cozy comfort foods and soups when you're meal planning. So let's chat about what's important for you this month and make it happen!
And God intervened with a conversation on fear and love. A reminder friends that God IS love. That is what our relationship is based on.
Ok, let's get ready for the month!

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Hey,
We're digging deep today to find that our need to plan and work and do everything to hit those goals may be rooted in the need to control.
God really hit me with a good one when he revealed that my striving to do the tasks were all to make sure I could get the result I want and therefore I wasn't trusting Him. ouch.
I thought I was wide open and surrendered and seeking him. And I think we all do. But hidden down in there, we still want to be able to go the direction we want to go. To be productive and do all the things. But underneath is all is this root issue of control.
So we're exploring the idea of self-control in the bible and how it correlates to trusting God. I pray this blesses and challenges you today!
With bold love, peace and intention,
Julie

Cheska is a Mental Health Advocate and host of the podcast Do I Have ADHD?She’s on a mission to guide and encourage squirrelly brains from feeling unequipped and overwhelmed to capable through self-compassion, perspective shifts, and God’s grace.
