Finding Myself Stirred…
My body struggles to identify what time or day it is. My appetite has done much the same.
But despite a lack of sleep and not fully comprehending the day of the week, my soul is overjoyed—
I have travelled to the birth place of my Lord.
Few things in life have enticed me, heart and soul, as the relationship I have with my Lord.
So what does that mean really?
A religious experience is the last thing I may be interested in.
What has always drawn my gaze and advanced my stare is the ability

Big, Bright and Beautiful
Dream for bigger.
Believe for bigger.
Know that God made you for bigger.
Nobody else’s blessing is greater than yours. Why? Because it’s yours. That alone makes it special.
It’s my prayer that you might realize your dreams and I might share the joy of invigorating your tenacity to step out and employ every opportunity to live your best life. If you do it right, you will be blessing and helping others along the way. Sometimes the best way to helping others is to understand that your story and your life truly is not

From the Other Side of My iPhone
Hi! 👋🏼
…From the Other Side of My iPhone
Let me take a moment to introduce myself. Whether you’ve been following me for days, weeks, years or have only just discovered this blog- I will begin as if we are only just beginning together.
Together.
Together sounds good doesn’t it?
Together sounds strong.
Together has a layer of supplemental strength that can’t go wrong.
There is infinite power in together.
My name is Nicole. I am not an anonymous blogger. I’m not using a pen name. This is me, who I am, laying it out there in vulnerability

False Hopes
Your day will go exactly how you want it to…
“Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.”
Psalm 25:5
We make our plans, but our day is ultimately in God’s hands. It’s how we respond to His plans that make the difference.
HOPE.
Where have you place it?
Have you ever misplaced something? Have you ever misplaced something and discovered it was missing days or weeks later? This might happen with something you don’t use everyday or when you use it it’s

Long Deep Breath
This is the air I breathe…
These are the words that sing to my internal mind and sweep through my soul as I open my eyelids this morning.
This is the air I breathe..
The breath of Heaven is a glorious thing. If I could somehow communicate how intoxicating it is to breathe Him in deeply.
People all over looking for something. But what? Most probably don’t even know what it is they are searching for. I suppose they feel they will know when they find it?
It’s a bit like falling in love. Well,

90 Degrees
Yesterday over lunch I had a fascinating visit with the spouse of a colleague of my husband. She is in the same industry as myself, fitness…but she’s been at it a good ten years longer (paid anyway) than I have. But what she is doing now fascinated me. She told me she “fixes broken people”. She went on to share how she is still personal training, but her clients are cancer patients. She gets them post surgery and helps them reduce inflammation and gain greater mobility and range of motion.

Staying Power
This very minute I’m at a leadership conference in the greater Dallas area.
I’ve been involved with a business of nutrition for more than twenty years now. It has blessed my life in countless ways. Countless ways.
I have deep conviction in my heart that my God used what I have learned through the leadership training, the products and the people—well… it is of invaluable worth. I also love the culture. So many wonderfully successful people who just simply love and care about others. And that is exactly what made them prosper.

Ablaze
“He makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire.”
Psalm 104:4
You can never observe the supernatural with natural eyes and understand what you see.
It won’t look right.
it won’t look right because we’ve not seen it before. It won’t fit into any category of our mind’s frame, our common sense or main stream opinion. It will have a flavor uniquely all its own. It will set ablaze every heart in its path…
Ablaze with true grace, liberty and freedom of soul.
A Fire woken up inside of the hearts it touches, a soul

Is God Concerned?
“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.” 1 John 4:18
When my oldest son was very young, maybe three or four years old we took a trip to Dallas, Texas. It was a business trip, but we had some vacation time so my husband and I decided to take the kids–we had two children at that time.
We predetermined to take the scenic route and stop along the way

Unique Impressions
When you know—
Ya know!
When you know who you are, it won’t be hard.
Because who you are is what flows naturally.
You have a special imprint on this planet. Only you can determine the threshold of your impact.
That very threshold is shaped by your patterns and habits.
Do you remember as a child making a thumbprint in cement, paint or maybe some ink? The measure of the imprint depended on how hard you pressed down. But to make an impact on this planet you don’t press down,
you press in and out!
No one else
