One of the first things that I want you to realize about anything in your life is that you have seasons. You have the person that you used to be in the past, the person that you are today, and the person that you're going to be in the future.

And you're a woman who really wants to take hold of her life and become all that you were born to be,

it must be something that's constantly on your mind, this idea of being willing to change.

This is something that I know happens often during the new year, right?

We have these resolutions, these ways that we want to improve our lives.

But most of the things that you must change are things that require

actionable steps each and every day and some help. Most of these things in your life you cannot change on your own. You do need

divine help from God to be able to truly make it lasting. I used to have a list by my bed that I would read and it had all these

I had to learn where I stopped and others began. I had to learn how to say no to everyone, even myself. And I do have a series coming up on boundaries because it's something that the Lord has really worked hard on me with and I want to share what I've learned with you because I know so many of you ladies struggle in this area. But learning how to have

boundaries with myself, with my family, with my coworkers has truly changed my life

because I no longer am a slave to what other people want.

I'm able to say yes to my needs. I'm able to receive help without feeling like I owe people something or feeling bad and I'm able to be

confident about my know and not feeling like I have to go back and make excuses and
