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.

When you purchase a new mascara, what happens the first couple of times you apply it? If you’re like me and most of the women I talk to, you try to comb your lashes as lightly as possible. Yet no matter how gently you do it, you still end up with the inevitable gob that hangs onto a lash, or have several lashes stuck to each other.  Both scenarios are frustrating and take time to repair.
Today I’m delighted to share with you a new mascara recently added to Avon’s portfolio of products. It bypasses that clumping stage, giving you relief from those first few applications of “mascara maneuvering!”

FMG Cashmere Ultimate Volume Mascara lets you create the lashes we all love – starting from the first application! This is possible due to the unique triple sphere brush that hugs your lashes without weighing them down or clumping them together. And once it’s on, you don’t have to worry about smudges which are the nightmare of so many other products. I love how the formula with its rich black pigment gives you the advantage of wearing a mascara that has extreme staying power.  Check out my picture for the proof.
Unlike most mascaras, this one leaves your lashes feeling soft and natural from the time you apply it, until it’s time to be removed. And unlike other long-wearing mascaras, this vegan formula does come off easily. Finally, if you’re like me and concerned about how it was tested, just like other Avon products this one is cruelty-free. There’s no reason animals should have to suffer to make us look good.

As long as I’m talking about an Avon product, I’ll remind you that Avon has a fool-proof way to test whatever product you’re interested in. And another announcement…. we have a new digital flippable brochure that mimics the paper one!!!! This includes the Virtual Try-On tool I introduced back last August. You will also find how-to and product videos as well as add to your cart options!!! Here you go!!!!. Check it out and let me know what you think.  I’m available for you so HERE and of course, call or text 480-684-2866 if you would like a consultation.
