First of all, living stress free may not be obtainable because we all experience some level of stress daily. However, you can reduce your stress by prioritizing what’s important in your life and by making time to be in God’s presence a priority, as well as being intentional with your plans for the day including rest and recharge.

Secondly, laugh often and do more of what you love. I encourage you to take some time to think over what brings out the best in you, and then do it. While you at it bring more laughter into your life, it is good for your soul.

Lastly, have a plan but don’t get upset if your plan gets interrupted. Proverbs 16:9 says, in their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. It’s great to make plans, but if we want to hear from God and be used by Him, we have to give Him room to interrupt our plans.

There are going to days and situations where you wonder why something is happening to you. When this happens, don’t ask why; ask God what is the lesson that He wants you to learn because God wants to pour out His wisdom upon you, which is one of the greatest assets you can possess. Wisdom gives you proper use of knowledge, which can guide you both spiritually and practically.

As I reflect women’s history month, I stand in gratitude for the women who have paved the road ahead of me. I stand in gratitude for the women who have had a great impact and influence in my life personally, as well as the women that I have only read about. Some of these women are no longer here physically, and some are still in the land of the living.

It is important for us to give the women in our lives recognition while they are living so that there is an exchange of appreciation and admiration. It is important to let those who have made a difference in our lives know that we love them, and that we are grateful for them pouring into us, shaping us, as well as encouraging us along this journey called life.

Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. So don’t let the blur of life blind you to this truth. Grasp each day and do not let your “today” be stolen by being focus of the mistakes that were made “yesterday.”

Let today be the day that you finally take a step in the direction of your goals and dreams. Choose to do more than just exist today! Take small purpose driven steps toward the amazing life that you desire and deserve.

Go ahead! Today is waiting on you!
