Forgiveness is for you and the betterment of you to move forward. Show love through your darkness. The Importance of Sharing Your Story Limit the negative thoughts, fears, and anxieties that come to mind when sharing your testimony.

Take every negative experience and make it positive Learn to inspire one person at a time. Let It Out! We tend to hold in a lot of negativity internally that needs to be let out. Write down how you feel, share it with someone else, or get rid of it, but let it out! Consistently letting it out will lower health risks moving forward. Be You! Don’t let anyone change who you are as a person. You can’t better anyone else if you can’t better yourself. Keep pushing forward and put God first in your life. Your relationship with God starts first. _________________________________________ Website https://www.sharlawhite.com/ Book | Love is My Weapon https://www.walmart.com/ip/Love-Is-My-Weapon-9798728470397/798881323 Facebook Community | The Transformation Group https://www.facebook.com/thetransformationgroup Instagram https://www.instagram.com/limw_2021 Email [email protected] Book Recommendation | The Daily Bible NIV --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a-way-with-words/support

Try New Things Give yourself room to explore new things each month. Trying new things doesn’t have to be extreme or expensive. Do something simple like learning a new dance on YouTube or cooking something new for dinner. You don’t have to try those big and bold things if you're an introvert. Do things that excite your soul and make you crave more. Choose your top goals in several areas of your life and focus on how to achieve those goals daily. Introducing New Things to Children When you introduce new things to your kids, make sure they’re planned out and communicated in advance. It helps them appreciate different perspectives. - Helps with practical problem-solving. Creates open dialogue. Start soon with your kids, start early, and get them involved. Say Cheese! Document your experiences by reflecting and capturing photos of you and your family exploring new things _________________________________________ Website https://theonenewthingproject.com Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/myonenewthing Book | The One New Thing Project: My Mission to Get Unstuck, Break Through and Hustle Joy https://theonenewthingproject.com/product/the-one-new-thing-project-my-mission-to-get-unstuck-break-through-and-hustle-joy/ Women Seizing Opportunity Program (6-week Course) https://theonenewthingproject.com/product/the-brave-women-company/ Book Recommendation | The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World Hardcover – Illustrated, September 20, 2016 ___________________________________________ Let’s Stay Connected! ✨Website: https://www.deandiaries.com ✨Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deandiaries --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a-way-with-words/support
