Stop Just Letting Life Happen to You!

1/30/2013

“I feel so unfocused and disorganized!” said my friend Laura. She had been downsized from her job, moved, and was trying to decide whether to get married again. “How can I manage all this change?"  she asked. “It’s hard for me to be intentional. What in the world that is, anyway?”   

Perhaps like Laura, you wonder what I mean when I write about “becoming an intentional woman.” Although it's a process and not always easy, it is possible.  I can't change anyone else, but I can make positive changes in my own attitudes and behavior. An intentional woman with a heart for God:

  • Works at becoming proactive, instead of just letting life happen to her—merely reacting to life’s unexpected circumstances. 
  • Accepts what she cannot change about her season and circumstances, making courageous and deliberate decisions about the things she can change. 
  • Is not self-absorbed to the point of leaving others out of her life; nor does she live her life through or for others. The attitudes and pressures of other people do not unduly influence her. 
  • Is directed, not driven and focused, not floundering.
  • Realizes she won't be perfectly problem-free, yet she has a desire to honor God with what she has been given.

Yet I believe that the key reason for living intentionally is to glorify God as the person He created you to be. In honoring our uniqueness, you and I come before our Creator and Savior with freedom and integrity. Just writing that down makes my shoulders relax and my breath to flow easier. How about you?

What's one word that reminds you of an "becoming an intentional woman"?

*Preparing to facilitate/teach an Intentional Woman Seminar this weekend led me to share this tonight.

Sneak Peek at My New Website

I did it! I lollygagged.

Just like I wrote about in my last blog post. I honored my agreement with myself and my husband and I played, laughed, slept, read, enjoyed and made memories with Richard–on my prolonged get-away in November and December. 

It was lovely…

Refreshing…


Fun…

Rejuvenating…

And again I’m assured that God loves me when I work, serve, teach, coach and accomplish (like most days of the year.)

AND He loves me and smiles when I fully enter into vacation to rest and renew. 

In fact, I believe God was delighted that I got lost in His beautifully created landscape and . . .

Slept in each morning, wore no make-up during the day and chatted, laughed and celebrated with Richard each evening. 


Now I will admit that this is quite the achievement for a recovering workaholic and perfectionist. Don’t you think?

So, what does this have to do with a “Sneak Peek at My New Website”?


Well, I’ll tell you. In January when I returned rested and replenished, I had new energy to work on the website I’ve been dragging my feet about for the last six months. It’s not quite done. I still have some content to write and edit and photos to add. But the “Books” drop down is complete and so is the new bookstore. Try it out! 

I have an entirely new “BRAND”, as my son would say. He’s the one who has been helping me create this new look. New business cards. New colors. New coaching and lifeplan brochures which are now “one-pagers.”(They’ll be on my site later.)

So click on over to take a quick SNEAK PEEK at my new site. (It’s not even launched yet, so you really are peeking. Enjoy!) 

Then tell me what you think. I’d love to hear from you.
