Revitalize Your Walk with God at Women's Retreat

Are you looking to revitalize your walk with God? Want to feel more of His presence and guidance in your life? Then join me at the Seeking God in Fresh New Ways Women’s Retreat on October 17th at St. James Parish!

The purpose of the retreat is to help participants revitalize their walk with God. Artist TamaraPeterson and Life Purpose Coach Liz Lassa will teach women two fresh and fun new ways to connect with God.

In the morning session, Liz will share her shorthand approach to seeking God through Spiritual Circle Journaling. This format will help participants get deep quickly, using bullet points and circles. It's simplicity helps even non-journalers deepen their prayer life. The result is a closer walk with God, a more focused quiet time, and a life more clearly guided by the Spirit.

After a break for lunch, participants will take what they learned from the morning session a step further as Tamara teaches Spiritual Art Journaling. Participants will capture on a canvas the word, verse, or phrase from their morning session with papers, clipped images, textures and paints. “In the end, you will leave with your very own, ‘one-of-a-kind’ canvas to remind you of His message for this season in your life,” Peterson said. “The only experience required is Kindergarten!”

When: Saturday, Oct. 17, Light Refreshments: 8:30 Retreat: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Where: St. James Parish, 820 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights (Enter through the school’s West doors.)

Cost: $65 (Includes lunch)

Life Coaching Helps Reduce Anxiety and Stress

I am so blessed to be working in a field where I can help people like Kathy. This is her testimonial.

"I have seen therapists in the past who have helped me in limited ways.  Too often I left them after a few sessions feeling like I was just repeating my issues and had come full circle with how they could help me. Working with Tina opened up many new paths for me to deal with my worries and anxieties. Each week I felt I left our session with a new tool to try. I have had great success with Tina reducing my stress and overcoming fears that were not allowing me to enjoy my life. Thank you Tina!"

How I Learned How to Choose Happy

Many people ask me how I seem so happy, so I thought I'd share it with you today.

It has been a journey, and it really started because being a mom was so much harder than I thought.

I remember when my kids were about 5 and 2 that I would wake up early many mornings to go get a workout in before everyone got up. I was so tired and worn out. I would sit on the edge of my bathtub in near darkness and silence and think, "I don't know if I can do this today." I was so depleted. Depressed. No fire for life. No purpose to my days but survival. But why? I had everything I ever wanted.

I was a stay-at-home mom, which was what I thought I always wanted, but I couldn't figure out why I was so miserable.

In addition to being mom, I was freelance writing for a parenting magazine. I received a story assignment to interview some life coaches to get tips for moms on how to be the best mom they can be, but still take care of themselves. "Ahh! Interesting!" I thought!

After writing that story and meeting the life coaches, I hired one. Then I had my breakthrough. I learned that it was my responsibility to choose happiness for myself. I learned how to live in the moment and enjoy my family. I learned how to stand up for myself and say, "no" to things that didn't serve me or my family. I learned to take control of my life instead of letting my life control me. I learned how to go from barely surviving to majorly thriving.

I was so moved by the experience that I knew I had to start sharing everything I had learned with other moms. So, I became certified as a life coach.

And that's where I am today. I have spent the last 5 years helping other moms choose happy so they can revive their passion for life and make the most out of every day with their families!

If you or anyone you know could use a little help in choosing happy, I am offering a 5-year anniversary special until August 5th. Get six sessions for the price of five.

Living With Intentionality: A Simple Exercise to Get You Started

Sometimes in life we get so bogged down with the details of getting things done that we fall into routines and habits and forget to really live.

We also tend to let the demands of others tell us what to do instead of deciding for ourselves what we really want to do.

Have you been feeling unhappy lately? Bored? Unfulfilled? These might be clues that you are not truly living your life.

Would you like to see what it feels like to be truly living?

Here's a simple exercise to get you started!

1. The next action you get ready to take, whether it is doing the dishes or sending an email, stop and ask yourself, "What is my intention with this action?" Look for true intentions. Pure ones.

Some intentions might be:

• To make yourself happy 
• To make someone else happy
• To show love to someone
• To be helpful to someone
• To serve someone

2. Once you have found your intention for that action, proceed with it now that you are fully aware of why you are doing it. As you complete your action, remind yourself of your intention. This will bring you joy. It will bring you into the present moment. It will bring you to living intentionally.
