Happiness is on the other side of fear…

October 27, 2022 by Carmalyn

Fear is uncomfortable and so our initial reaction is to avoid the thing that scares us. It can warp our thinking and cause us to freeze and not take action. On the other side of fear is where happiness is waiting for you. What scares you? When you work with me as your life coach, we can come up with a plan to help you find the courage to step out of that damn comfort zone and live the life that is … [Read more...] about Happiness is on the other side of fear…

Sometimes I fly… Sometimes I lie…both are ok

November 10, 2019 by Carmalyn

So often people ask me how can I do so much... I think they often assume I am wearing my superwoman cape every day to help me fly through life doing all that I do. However, I loved this picture from the The Happiness Project because it so clearly demonstrates my life and my energy. Although most know me as an Extrovert- I truly am an introvert, or maybe more accurately an Ambivert- basically … [Read more...] about Sometimes I fly… Sometimes I lie…both are ok

Are you Balanced???

July 19, 2019 by Carmalyn

Recently I lead a Bible study on Balance. 🔄. One of the first questions I asked the women was to think about 💬what are their priorities? Because often we notice we are out of balance 🔀 when we are not living our life according to what is most important to us. 💝 So use this little visual to help you restore balance 🔄 in your life and help you live a life … [Read more...] about Are you Balanced???

Finding JOY right now.  Here.

September 1, 2016 by Carmalyn

I spend a lot of time talking about being PRESENT; especially as a mom.  The idea of being in the MOMent has never meant so much to me as a mom as it does right this minute… When my kids were little, I mean like diapers-and-naps- little, women would always approach me and say, “Oh dearie, enJOY this MOMent… it goes by so fast.”  Many times I would look at them and be like… REALLY?  REALLY?! … [Read more...] about Finding JOY right now.  Here.

Results of my week long media fast.

July 17, 2015 by Carmalyn

I decided it was time to unplug from EVERYTHINIG for a while to just feel reconnected to ME and MY world.  As of 5 p.m. on Sunday I signed off of Facebook, instagram, twitter (which to be honest I still don’t understand!) snapchat, words with friends, Netflix and my tv.  My goal was simple.... UNPLUG my life to RECHARGE my soul... I find that so often we can fall into the trap of comparing … [Read more...] about Results of my week long media fast.

28 days of love

March 1, 2013 by Carmalyn

This is not your usual "love" post... About a month ago, I was having one of those (seems to be daily) talks with my teenage son about getting things done,  picked up, put away...etc.... You know the kind of daily "talks" we as moms seem to have oh so often with our kids.  In the middle of the conversation he told me to "Stop right there".  I was caught off gaurd and asked him why.  He then … [Read more...] about 28 days of love
