At the beginning of the year, I determined to name my online coaching series, "Becoming a Healthy American Woman." Why? Because after years of traveling and speaking, I rarely saw such a woman! Instead, the women who came up to me after events, admittedly, called themselves "unhealthy or unholy or unhappy."
The goal of my 52 week course (or 4 quarters), consisting of weekly blogs and calls, has been specifically designed to meet a powerful conclusion--FOR EACH WOMAN TO LEAVE A LEGACY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION as LEADERS, LOVERS, AND HEALERS. (No more wishing and hoping--but acting on our desire to become healthy in every area of our lives.)
As our second quarter comes to a close, I am reminded that we are half-way through the year of becoming a woman who has...
(1) developed 3 non-negotiable traits of perseverance (beginning with the same intensity as we plan to end), self-control (being able to say 'no' to ourselves in order to say 'yes' to God,) and love (rather than a clanging symbol, we understand how to listen and to give).
(2) mastered 3 daily actions: managing our bodies, our time, and spirits through DAILY routines of fitness, organization, and inspiration.
As I look back, I see my own plodding and pressing has indeed caused me to incrementally (slowly but surely) become more like the woman I want to be...a leader (who communicates effectively to the masses), a lover (especially toward those closest to me, so there will be no disparity in my testimony), and a healer (one who brings the power of heaven to earth in prayer).
I challenge you to step into the call upon your life. Take it to the next level in this coming quarter. Become a leader through the 3 statements we will embrace: I will, I must, I won't. (If you would like to sign up for Q3 or add personal coaching for the last half of the year, click here.)
Be encouraged to press on!

Incredible truths in this blog, so much to absorb and then articulate. I believe when you articulate it, as Becky so beautifully has, one is able to see more clearly where she has come from and have a vision of where she wants to go or be. I am going to ponder these questions and write about them here this week.
ReplyDeleteI like saying NO to wishing and hoping and YES to will and must.
This morning as I picked up the house before I went for my walk I thought Yes, I have made progress, sometimes I get discouraged thinking I haven't but when I look at my notes where I began and where I am today I can say: I MUST keep persevering as a leader, lover, and healer. More later....
Headed out of town for a few days so I won't be able to look at this blog. I have to tell you a funny story. I encouraging my son to use some of the tools I have learned in this quarter. Such as DIN I told him to put them on post it notes to remind himself to do it now. So later he came in with a smile on his face and said, "I need to find my DIN sticky not so I don't forget to do it later." Have a great weekend, I am relieving my brother of taking care of my 88 yr old mother. When I told my brother that I could catch a plane the following morning he responded wow I feel like you understand and love me. This is the power of relinquishing control over to God; seeking to understand rather than being understood. Talk with you next week.
ReplyDeleteAs a leader....well, I always get leader/teacher/exhortation when I take those spiritual gift tests...I'm working on communication. Joined up with some writers and still considering doing some writing. But hubby and I still have no work flowing in, and he sees the need much more for me to work for pay right now.
ReplyDeleteHealing wise, I am praying healing prayers for him and my Mom. Both tend to move in and out of depression, so we need a good dose of God;s blessings. Praying for financial healing for friends and our own situation.
Working on actions to show more love....
Have a blessed weekend.
Laura.
