Can We Trust Even When Life Feels Scary?

I used to think that if I planned well enough, I could keep my life safe and steady. I thought being in control was the same as being happy. Life doesn’t always follow our plans. Lately, my world has felt like a storm. Between the deaths of five people, my son’s transition after prison, and my sister’s diagnosis with breast cancer, the ground has felt very shaky. I’ve learned that when the world is chaotic, I can’t control what happens outside. Instead, I am continuing on my journey as the “architect” of my own heart.

When things feel overwhelming, we often find ourselves in a knot of Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (T.E.A.). Our thoughts try to anticipate the “what-ifs,” emotions feel heavy, and actions become frantic as we try to fix things we cannot control. Being an architect isn’t about stopping the storm. It’s about building a strong, safe house inside ourselves so we can stay standing while the wind blows. 

I can’t change a medical diagnosis or a legal situation; however, I can choose how I show up for myself and the people I love.

Trusting isn’t about knowing exactly how things will turn out. It’s about knowing that I have the strength to handle whatever happens next. It’s about being kind to myself, setting boundaries that protect my heart, and finding peace in the middle of the mess.

It is why I wrote my 4-week course.  If you are going through a hard season and feel like you’re losing your footing, I want to help. My T.E.A. Course is a place to learn to untangle our thoughts, emotions, and actions to find your calm again. I’d love for you to join the healing journey.

Back in August and September, I shared the changes I made in my life…so it shouldn’t surprise you that this month’s blog is also a change. Christmas is coming faster than you think!

Yes, I know this is still October, yet Thanksgiving is next month, with Christmas right after. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Thanksgiving is a time for people to gather, and if the hostess has the menu set, what about a hostess gift? A holiday candle from Avon is a great start. The Waffle Cabincandle sets the stage with the scent of vanilla waffles topped with syrup and “always-makes-everything-better, smoked bacon.” Features include a 30-hour burn time, a single wick with plant-based wax in a decorative glass jar. 

You can make every moment shimmer with the Star Pendant made with .925 sterling silver. This includes a 17” length chain with a 1” extender and spring-ring closure. It’s perfect for layering or shining solo. It truly catches the light beautifully. You may want to buy extra and keep one for yourself.

And there’s always the perfect backup gift – Skin So Soft. I have one customer who yearly gives different versions of the hand cream to her friends. This dermatology-tested cream dramatically transforms rough, dry skin and instantly illuminates skin with argan oil.

Here is your Gift Guide to help with your list of giving.

If there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s how time goes even faster towards the end of the year.  Don’t get caught rushing around at the last minute. Some of these products are seasonal and won’t be around by the time the holidays arrive. 

Did you know it is also Free to join, Free to save, Free to earn. I would be honored to personally mentor you on every step of your Avon journey. Start your beautiful journey with Avon today.
