I’ve been marinating on Ecclesiastes (my fav book) 3:12–13 .. Right after the passage about “a time for everything,” we’re reminded of something simple… and honestly, radical: There is nothing better than to be happy, do good while you live, and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Scripture calls this the gift of God. This isn’t telling us to ignore pain or bypass hard seasons. It’s telling us to stop postponing our lives. We don’t control time. We don’t control seasons. We don’t get to understand everything God is doing. But we do get to choose how we live within the season we’re in. Joy isn’t laziness. Joy is a DECISION to receive what’s in front of you without resentment. Doing good isn’t performative. It’s how we stay aligned with who we are, even when life feels uncertain. And finding satisfaction in our work? That’s permission to enjoy the simple things — food, rest, effort, provision, laughter — without guilt. This verse is releasing us from carrying the weight of outcomes and inviting us into something healthier: Show up. Do good. Receive the gift. Let God handle the rest. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is enjoy the life you’ve been given, right here, right now. ✨ #releasecontroloftheoutcome #release #joy #embrace #ecclesiastes #epicyourlife #wisdom #mindset #amishmatchmakers #single2married

What’s in your coffee?? Seriously… what are you putting into your body before you even start your day? What’s in your fridge and pantry? Fuel or fillers? Energy or exhaustion disguised as “convenience”? What’s in your medicine cabinet? Prevention… or band-aids? And lol—what’s in your bathroom? Your shower products, your skincare… Are they supporting your hormones, your skin, your longevity? Or just taking up space? What’s in your audio or physical library? Are you feeding your mind with wisdom, mindset, growth… or noise that keeps you stuck? And the real question: What are you actively doing to support your health—physically AND cognitively? Because everything around you… Everything you consume… Everything you allow into your day… is either bringing LIFE to your body, your mind, your energy— or slowly draining it. Your habits are building something. Your inputs are shaping someone. Make sure it’s the YOU that you actually want to become. 🩵 Pic is some of my favorite products, supplements, tools, audiobook library, and overall physical health and self care choices! #products #selfcare #health #supplements #favorites #epicyourlife #thorne #relyte #totalcarnivore #farmfresheggs #hairphix #youngliving #organogold #amishmatchmakers

Communication has extremes… and most of us slide into one without even realizing it. 👉🏽 Some of us OVER-PROTECT. We soften everything… avoid telling the truth… carry the emotional load… and try to “keep the peace” by cushioning every hard thing. It feels kind… but it actually keeps people from growing, owning their choices, or rising into strength. 👉🏽 Others of us DRIVE HARD. We push… we point out the gap… we want results… we speak with fire, clarity, and urgency. It feels honest… but it can land like pressure, intensity, or criticism — especially when someone is already overwhelmed. 👉🏽 What about when someone is going through a challenge? This is where communication often swings to one EXTREME or the other: Coddling: • Over-comforting • Protecting them from responsibility • Excusing unhealthy patterns • Carrying what is theirs to carry • Treating them as fragile Invalidating: • Ignoring their emotions • Minimizing their reality • Pushing too hard, too fast • Talking over their process • Making them feel weak for struggling Both responses damage connection. Both responses stunt growth. So what does HEALTHY communication look like in hard seasons? It’s the middle ground — the place where truth and compassion sit together. It sounds like: • “I see what you’re walking through.” • “It makes sense that you feel the way you do.” • “And I still believe you have the strength to work through this.” • “I’m not doing it for you, but I’m here with you.” • “This is hard — and you’re capable.” • “Feel what you feel, and let’s choose the next step.” No coddling. No invalidation. Just support + responsibility. Compassion + empowerment. When someone is struggling, they don’t need rescuing… and they also don’t need pressure. They need a voice that honors the reality of the struggle without stealing their chance to grow through it. #Growth #Support #Activation #Empower #Mindset #EpicYourLife #Validation #Love #AmishMatchmakers #Single2Married #Relationships
