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.

Do you remember the days when shopping for the holidays started with Black Friday? However, in these past few years – that almost feels too late! Can you relate? 

It’s already near the end of October and I believe Avon has another incredible variety of gifts that will make your shopping easier.  But before I get into that, let me share some of the highlights of my trip to Boston for Avon’s Connection meeting. You heard that right, connection instead of convention.

If you haven’t been to Boston, I highly recommend a visit. If you like history, this town is full of interesting places. For something more contemporary, there’s the Cheers bar. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the seafood. It’s fabulous!

Between traveling first class (thanks to earned miles) and connecting to my bonus dad, this journey was incredible for me. 

Along with touring and family, Avon once again blew me away with our most exciting line of gift ideas. I am sure you know about the variety of beauty items Avon already offers. This year will not disappoint. In fact, I believe Avon can be the only place you’ll need to go this season.

There is so much to choose from with items for everyone on your list…even home décor. If you like, I would love to be your personal shopper this season

And when I say “don’t delay” I have a good reason. Last year one of my customers told me she waited too long. Some of the things she wanted were already sold out. This is not unique to Avon. Every year, companies limit seasonal items and once sold out…well…you know the saying…you snooze you lose. Don’t let that happen to you.

As always, contact me by text or phone at 480-684-2866 or click HERE for any questions. Happy shopping!
