FaithOverFear

One Day at a time

💔 Life After Loss: When Everything Feels Hard… But Hope Is Still There 💪❤️

Losing your spouse isn’t something you simply “get over.” It’s a journey of learning to carry your grief while slowly discovering that life can still hold purpose, joy, and hope.

Even years later, grief can resurface in unexpected moments—not always during life’s biggest storms, but often in the quiet moments.

A move…
An anniversary…
A birthday…
A holiday…
Or even an ordinary Tuesday when the silence feels louder than usual.

Sometimes it’s not one overwhelming event. It’s the accumulation of everything.

The decisions.
The responsibilities.
The memories.
The loneliness.
The endless to-do list.

When we’ve been carrying a heavy emotional load for a long time, even small tasks can feel overwhelming. It’s not because you’re failing—it’s because you’ve been carrying more than most people can imagine.

❤️ Here’s the good news…

You don’t have to have everything figured out today.

You don’t have to become the person you were before your loss.

You have permission to grow into the beautiful, resilient woman God is shaping you to become. 🌷

There are practical steps that can help lighten the emotional load:

🔵 Give yourself grace instead of guilt.
🔵 Simplify decisions when life feels overwhelming.
🔵 Create small, healthy routines that bring stability.
🔵 Accept help when it’s offered.
🔵 Prioritize rest—not because you’re weak, but because restoration is part of healing.
🔵 Lean into your faith and trusted relationships, even when it’s difficult.

Please remember this…

💗 You are stronger than you realize.
💗 Your story isn’t over.
💗 Your grief does not define your future.
💗 There is still purpose ahead.
💗 And you never have to walk this journey alone.

If you’re navigating life after the loss of your spouse, I’m praying for you today. One step at a time. One day at a time. God is still writing your story, and brighter days are possible—even if you can’t see them yet. 🙏❤️

Together, let’s walk this road with faith, grace, practical tools, and hope.

Happy 33rd Anniversary

🎉 Happy Anniversary to Me! 🎉

Today marks 33 years since I made one of the biggest decisions of my life—to become a Work-At-Home Mom and launch my web design, graphic design, branding, and marketing company.

What started as a leap of faith at my kitchen table has grown into a 33-year entrepreneurial journey filled with incredible opportunities, amazing people, lifelong friendships, and countless blessings from God.

Over these 33 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of clients, building multiple six-figure businesses, and operating almost entirely on referrals. That alone is a testimony to the power of relationships, integrity, and consistently serving others well.

Along the way…

➡️ At just 19 years old, I owned a custom blinds company, became the #1 salesperson, and earned an all-expense-paid trip to the Bahamas—my first taste of what was possible through hard work, persistence, and serving customers well.

➡️ I began my direct sales journey in my early 20s with Tupperware (yes, I earned the van! 😄).

➡️ I became a top leader in a health and wellness company in my later 20s.

➡️ I spent many years as one of the Top 20 leaders and a corporate trainer with a greeting card and relationship marketing company.

➡️ I had the honor of working alongside industry leaders, helping build online systems, coaching entrepreneurs, and supporting events that featured some of the greatest personal development speakers in the world, including Zig Ziglar.

➡️ I built a speaking and training career that has now spanned more than 25 years, speaking to audiences around the country and around the world.

➡️ I became a bestselling author, co-author, and contributor to multiple bestselling books, with another project on the horizon.

➡️ I founded and led successful networking organizations, trained hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs, and helped business owners grow through marketing, branding, relationship building, and leadership development.

➡️ Today, I continue to coach, train, mentor, and lead teams internationally while helping people discover natural, non-invasive wellness solutions and build businesses that create both income and impact.

And the learning never stops…

📚 For more than 30 years, I’ve averaged reading approximately a book a week on business, leadership, marketing, personal development, faith, and health.

🎓 I’ve invested in countless courses, certifications, conferences, and training programs to continually grow both personally and professionally.

📖 And now, at a stage when many people are slowing down, I’m going back to school to earn my Doctorate in Naturopathy because I believe God is still writing new chapters.

But perhaps the greatest lessons weren’t learned in business.

Thirteen years ago, my world changed forever when I unexpectedly lost my husband, Bryan. Suddenly, I found myself navigating unimaginable grief while raising our four children and trying to keep moving forward.

There were days when simply getting out of bed required faith.

There were moments when I didn’t know what the future would hold.

Yet even in the darkest seasons, God never left my side.

He carried me when I couldn’t carry myself.

He provided when I couldn’t see a way.

He healed what I thought would always be broken.

And in His perfect timing, He brought unexpected blessings, restoration, and a second chance at love when I married my wonderful husband, Kevin.

What once felt like the end of my story became the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.

That journey taught me that resilience isn’t about being strong enough—it’s about trusting God enough.

The journey hasn’t always been easy.

There have been victories and setbacks.
Mountaintops and valleys.
Joy and heartbreak.
Loss and restoration.

But through it all, God has remained faithful.

Every client.
Every stage.
Every book.
Every business.
Every opportunity.
Every blessing.
Every lesson.

None of it would have been possible without Him.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 33 years, it’s this:

👉 Never stop learning.
👉 Never stop growing.
👉 Never stop serving.
👉 Never stop believing.
👉 Never stop trusting God’s timing.
👉 And never underestimate what God can do with a willing heart and a step of faith.

Here’s to 33 years of entrepreneurship, leadership, service, resilience, faith, and impact—and to whatever God has planned for the next chapter.

Thank you to every client, team member, student, coaching client, speaking event organizer, business partner, friend, and family member who has been part of this incredible journey. You have blessed my life more than you’ll ever know.

And most of all, thank You, Lord, for every open door, every closed door, every lesson, every blessing, and every opportunity to serve.

❤️ All Glory to God! ❤️

Your past doesn’t equal your future

YOUR PAST DOESN’T PREDICT YOUR FUTURE 🚀

Most people think they need to be at the top, in early, or perfectly positioned to win big.

But let’s look at reality…

💼 Adam Green, age 25
When he began, he was not riding some magical “perfect timing” wave.
In fact, 1 MILLION distributors had already joined the company before he ever got started.

He was literally NOWHERE near “the beginning.”
Yet today?
🔥 He ranks #30 in the entire company.

Not because he was lucky.
Not because it was easy.
Not because he had advantages others didn’t.

But because he made a decision.
💥 A decision to LEAN IN, to LEARN, and to APPLY what mentors taught him.

Let’s get real for a moment…

Adam didn’t start with flawless confidence.
He struggled with alcoholism.
He battled a negative self-image.
He made mistakes.
Just like every human.
➡️ That was only 8 years ago.

But he didn’t let his past define who he would become.

🏡 He got his first mortgage at 21.
💰 He paid it off by age 24.

That’s not chance.
That’s not “luck.”

That is BELIEF combined with WORK.
That is mindset combined with action.
That is possibility becoming reality.

✨ Let this ignite something inside you:
If someone else can reinvent their life — YOU CAN TOO.

You are not disqualified by:
❌ Your past
❌ Your mistakes
❌ Your age
❌ Your insecurities
❌ Your setbacks

You are qualified because you have:
✔️ Desire
✔️ Potential
✔️ Courage
✔️ Vision
✔️ The willingness to grow

Success doesn’t come from perfection…
It comes from fulfillment — from deciding your life matters and that your future will be different than your past.

Your breakthrough begins the moment you decide to believe in yourself and take the next step.

You’ve got this. 💪🔥❤️
Your future is calling — answer it boldly.
