Guest Blog Post: You Are Worthy by Michael Barata

We surrender our self to people because we are taught to believe that’s what it means to serve. 

We barely get to know our self, which is why it’s so easy to surrender it. And for those who catch a glimpse of it, but deny it, that then causes us to fall prey to our fears and doubts. 

Sure, we always hold the power to be whatever we choose. But, when someone you respect or care deeply for or love prefers you don’t live your truth for whatever reason and if you comply, in that moment, you also dismiss your worth. 

I know it can be so incredibly challenging while you ache with pain, but know this, your worthiness is not to be bargained, cheapened, or denied by you or anyone. 

I am worthy.

You are worthy.

Guest Blog Post: Unfamiliar Places by Kathy K Taylor

I have these two horses… Roxy is what you would call energy efficient. She’s super dependable, easy to manage and I can pretty much count on her to be level-headed in any situation. We have been together a long time so our communication can be really subtle. My other horse, Isaac, was literally born to… Continue Reading

Guest Blog Post: Limitless by Grant Beckman

Limiting beliefs, we all have them. It’s that elephant in the room that no one likes to address. It is the ceiling, the capstone of how far you will let yourself to be allowed to experience life. Having a limited belief is like a dog chained in a yard. The stake in the ground is… Continue Reading

Religion teaches you that your desires, your gifts, your passions, your calling must be checked against God’s Will for your life. On the cross, seconds before His death, Jesus said: Your will be done. Did He live every day of His life questioning God’s desire for His life? Or did He just do the work,… Continue Reading

Dear Lord, Tonight I just want to say Thank YOU…Thank YOU. THANK YOU… For providing and surrounding me with great women of faith.
