The Love Of God ❤️

How’s your love gauge today?

Do you feel heavy—burdened, stressed by all the world throws at us? Or do you feel peaceful and connected to God’s divine love?

Wherever you are, I’d like to invite you to pause for just a few minutes. Take a few deep breaths. Cover your ears if you need to—shut out the noise of the world—and intentionally turn your heart toward God. 💛

Open your heart to Him. Let it all out. Ask Him to help you feel peace. I promise that His light and divine love can calm your troubled heart and bring peace to your mind and soul. He will allow you to feel His love as you invite Him to be with you right now. 💖

The more disconnected we are from God, the harder it becomes to feel His love, His peace, and the inspiration He has waiting for us. Notice how the world pulls at us. It tells us we need more money, better looks, more followers, more achievements “to be of worth.” So much of our energy is spent chasing these things. Some people spend their entire lives searching for “more,” hoping it will finally make them feel enough.

I truly believe this is one of Satan’s greatest lies—to keep us focused on materialism, pride, and vanity so we forget who we really are.

God, on the other hand, teaches something very different. He invites us not to cling or be attached to the temporary things of this world, but to nurture the one thing we will take with us when we leave this earth—our spirit.

When we make time daily to check in spiritually and come to Him, we begin to realize that we don’t need to be attached to what will one day fade away. We begin to center our lives on what is eternal.

God’s love is not just something we believe in—it is something we experience. We see it in tender mercies, in answered prayers, in nature. We feel it in moments of unexpected peace. We recognize it in the strength that carries us when we thought we had none left.

The scriptures remind us:

“I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”Jeremiah 31:3

Everlasting means it did not begin when we finally “got it right,” and it will not end when we stumble. His love precedes us. His love sustains us.

There is nothing in this world that will bring more joy to a soul than truly knowing God and having a relationship with Him. No amount of money or achievement can replace the peace of a soul who comes to know God and knows that He loves each one of us individually.

During our hardest challenges—and even at the end of our lives—the knowledge that we know Him and He knows us is what will bring true peace.

So today, check in at a soul level. Ask yourself: What can I gently release? What am I holding onto that pulls me away from God?

Come to Him in prayer. Let Him guide you. He has a beautiful plan for your life. He has answers to your deepest questions and understands the desires of your heart. Hear Him—and act on what you feel. His love is always there. We simply choose whether or not to draw near. 💛

As we begin to truly feel God’s love, we realize something beautiful: His love isn’t meant to stop with us. It is meant to flow through us.

Jesus taught:

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35

To love others is to reflect Him.

We all have difficult people and situations in our lives. Sometimes we simply need to pause, take a few deep breaths, and ask God to help us see the person or circumstance in a way that brings healing. ❤️‍🩹

We can choose patience over pride. Kindness over criticism. Forgiveness over offense. Little by little, we learn to walk with Christ—and others begin to feel His love through us.

To know Jesus Christ is more than knowing about Him. It is walking with Him daily. It is speaking with Him in prayer. It is opening the scriptures not out of obligation, but from a sincere desire to hear His voice. It is asking, “Lord, who do You need me to become today?”

The Savior Himself said:

“Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.” Doctrine and Covenants 88:63

Notice the invitation: draw near. This is daily. It is intentional. It builds our relationship with Christ and He promises to draw near to us. 💛

As we come to know Christ personally, something beautiful happens. Our fears soften. Our perspective shifts. Our love expands. We begin to see ourselves—and others—the way He does: with compassion, hope, and eternal vision.

Just know this: God is here for you. His love is woven into your everyday life. Look for it and you’ll see it.

🌱Our Spiritual Goal for This Week is:

Spend 10 intentional minutes each day coming to know Christ. Read a few verses from the New Testament or other scriptures and ask yourself:

“What does this teach me about who He is?”

Write one sentence each day about what you learn.

💛 Physical Goal for This Week:

Move your body with gratitude at least four times this week. walk, stretch, strength train, dance—anything that feels life-giving. As you move, thank God for one specific thing your body allows you to do.

When we honor both our spirit and our body, we align ourselves more fully with the God who created both. 🥹❤️

I hope you can make it to class tonight at 7pm!!! Our goal is to release stress, strengthen our body, and have an amazing Christ-centered meditation that will leave us feeling true peace and joy. Hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well.

Just remember:

❤️ You are loved.

💛 You are seen.

🤍 & He is nearer than you think.

Love,

Inner Peace keeper 💛

With everything happening in our world and the many challenges we each face, it’s easy to let the chaos increase our emotional stress, fear, and anxiety. Our peace is constantly being attacked. You can feel it all around us. We can either choose to focus on the bad that surrounds us or focus on the good.

This week I’ve felt a stronger desire to want to disconnected from the news, social media, entertainment and all of the constant voices on the world/internet. As time passes, we see more and more people addicted to these devices. You can see couples and families at restaurants just looking down at their phones. We’re filling our eyes, mind and heart with who knows what? & we’re more and more disconnected to the people that are actually in front of us. 🙁

Research lately has shown that addictions—and the ways we try to “numb” our emotions—are steadily increasing.

Have you noticed how much harder it seems for people to control their thoughts, emotions, and reactions? Sadly, we are becoming a society that is more disconnected, less present, more divided, and dependent on outside things for comfort. We numb emotional pain with distractions and forget how to slow down, breathe, and quiet our minds and hearts and juts be in the moment.

Think about what you tend to reach for when you’re trying to “feel better”: food, your phone, TV, entertainment, shopping, social media, substances, or other habits that may seem harmless at first. Over time, these things can become emotional crutches. They begin to control us. We lose our ability to truly regulate our inner peace. We forget to listen to ourselves—and most importantly, to turn to God for help.

When we recognize the ways we rely on outside sources for peace, we can begin to examine those habits and gradually release them. Often, we don’t even realize how much control they have over our emotions. The more we reach outward for comfort, the more our inner light begins to dim. We become reactive, impatient, and uneasy—hurting not only ourselves but also those around us.

Remember: the enemy of our souls wants all of us to be dependent on outside things. He wants to distract and spiritually distance ourselves from God. He whispers that it’s too uncomfortable to sit with our feelings or look within—but that discomfort is often where healing begins. If he can keep us from processing our emotions, feeling peace, and speaking with our Father in Heaven, he can keep us from finding the joy that God can bring.

But God, our loving Father in Heaven, invites us to rise above that. He asks us to turn to Him. He reminds us that we are His children—with divine access to His power, light, and peace. True and lasting peace does not come from the world or the things of the world. It comes from God. He can give us peace in abundance, even in the middle of life’s storms. When we trust Him, we can remain calm, faithful, and steady—no matter what comes.

This week, I encourage you to look a little deeper within yourself. It may feel uncomfortable at first. You may feel tempted to reach for your phone, turn on the TV, or distract yourself. Instead, try sitting still for a moment and simply feel your feelings. Check internally with yourself and see how you can better help yourself to live present and more peaceful today.

When something triggers you, pause. Take a slow breath. Close your eyes if it helps. Notice what is happening inside you. Observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Then invite divine light into your heart. Ask God to fill you with His love, strength, and peace. Imagine His power flowing gently into your heart and mind. 💛

There is nothing that compares to the sacred, divine peace that comes directly from God. Just focus on feeling and inviting God’s love, light and words.

If you’d like, write down any impressions or guidance He places in your heart. The more open you are to receiving, the more clearly you will recognize His voice.

Take time to notice the things you use to numb emotional discomfort. Ask yourself:

• What steals my peace?

• What do I reach for when I feel angry, stressed, or anxious?

• Do those things bring lasting peace—or do they leave me feeling empty?

These are sacred questions. Getting to know ourselves is part of spiritual growth. We are meant to become protectors of our peace. When we recognize what is happening inside us, we can consciously invite goodness in and more easily release negativity.

So I invite you to practice breathing, feeling, and connecting with God whenever you notice inner chaos. Give yourself grace and compassion. Be proud of your courage to look within—without needing something external to soothe you. Reach for the true Giver of Peace and allow Him to calm your heart and restore your soul.

Set a goal this week to become the keeper of your inner peace. In quiet moments, connect with the divine source of peace and love—our Heavenly Father. Ask Him to help you focus on your inner light instead of the world’s distractions. As you practice, you will feel stronger, calmer, and more centered each day.

Allow yourself to feel the strength of being the protector of your inner peace. 💪🏼💛 Be ready to TURN OFF the distractions that try to numb you and make you feel worse. Try to rise above and focus on Christs peace instead.

Remember the Savior’s words in John 14:27:

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Whatever is troubling you today—fear, stress, or sadness—pause and sit with those feelings. Breathe. Notice where they show up in your body. Then gently say:

“I invite the peace of God to be with me—to heal me, strengthen me, and remind me of my divine light. I am a child of God. I choose peace.”

Feel His calmness surround you. God can replace anxiety with assurance and fill your heart with light and love. There is no greater healing than inviting His presence into your life.

Trust Him. He is the Prince of Peace, the Giver of all that is good, and the source of love and light. He will strengthen, lift, and comfort you each day.

Our spiritual goal this week:

To gain greater inner peace—to become protectors of our peace. To rely on God, not the world, for comfort and strength. To say:

“I choose to keep my peace centered on God, who sees me, hears me, loves me, and strengthens me. I choose light. I choose love. I choose peace.”

Our physical goal:

Exercise 2–3 times this week and nourish your body with water and wholesome, nutrient-rich foods.

I hope to see you in class tonight at 7 p.m. Make this promise to yourself—to care for your body, mind, and spirit. As we practice becoming keepers of our peace through meditation and connection with God, you will feel the difference.

With love,

Lili 🌸

Be Present Today 💖

Today, I invite you to turn off your racing mind and heart. ❤️ Stop for a moment and take some deep breaths. Remember that God has told us to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. ☀️

It’s not good for our mind and heart to be thinking or focused on the past or on the future that we can’t control. 🙈 So, as you have a moment to breathe, gently guide your thoughts back to the present moment, notice your breath and calm your heart and mind. Just be right here right now for a moment. Simply being present throughout your day allows you to experience more peace, clarity, and joy. We just have to practice being present. 💪🏼🥰

Matthew 6:34 we read:

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

Through these words, Jesus invites us to be present.

I believe that He wants us to be intentional about today. To CHOOSE TO SEE GOD IN THIS MOMENT AND TO INVITE HIM TO BE RIGHT HERE AND NOW.

So, open your heart for a moment to welcome God’s light into your life. Choose, with intention, not to dwell on the past or worry about the future, but instead to focus on feeling God’s love as it fills you. His light and love help you cultivate positivity and experience the deep peace and joy that can only come from His presence.

As you move through your day, notice what is around you. Express gratitude for each moment you experience. Give thanks for your blessings, no matter how small. Be open, kind, and loving toward yourself and others. Choose to see the good in those around you and intentionally invite goodness into your mind and heart from one moment to the next. What you choose to focus on, aligns you more closely with God—allowing you to flow in His light and fully enjoy the gift of today.

When you are present, a natural stillness and centeredness arises within you. You feel calmer and more grounded, better able to experience the now and to choose the energy you want to bring into this moment. Dwelling on the past or future only drains the energy available to you right now.

During times when my mind and heart start racing I try to practice by stopping what I’m doing. I close my eyes, gently cover my ears, and focus on my breath. (I call this my internal ocean or my alignment with God.) He is the one who calms my internal ocean, providing each breath as it flows in and out. I love to imagine the calming sound of the ocean as the breath comes in and out of my body. With every inhale, I choose to breathe in peace; with every exhale, release fear, stress, anxiety etc As you try this exercise and listen to and feel your breath, you are reminded to be grateful for the moment you have now. & you will feel the peace of God calming your heart and mind. 🕊️

God invites us to come to Him and to take life one day at a time—one moment at a time. We can give Him all of our worries and fears. He is not a God of fear, but a God of faith, trust, love, power, and a sound, peaceful mind and heart. He will help carry our burdens and make them lighter. Each moment is an opportunity to strengthen our connection with ourselves and with our Creator. The choice is always ours—We can choose to make each moment a moment of peace, a moment when we can pour love into ourselves and others and a moment when we can choose more loving a positive thoughts with God by our side. ❤️

Another way to include the mind in the process of being present is to practice this mindfulness exercise. As we’ve discussed in class, to involve our senses. We call this the 5-4-3-2-1 practice:

• 5 things you can see

• 4 things you can hear

• 3 things you can touch

• 2 things you can smell

• 1 thing you can taste

The more detail, the better. Engaging your senses brings your awareness into the present moment and allows you to rediscover the beauty around you—almost like seeing the world through a child’s eyes.

During moments of stress, remember the power you have to calm your mind and body. Deep breathing—allowing the breath to fill your belly—is one of the most effective ways to do this. By focusing solely on the in-breath and out-breath, you reconnect with the present moment instead of past or future scenarios. There is real power in breathing.

With everything happening around us—both externally and internally—it is more important than ever to develop tools that help us manage our thoughts, emotions, and feelings. These practices help deepen our alignment with ourselves and with God. They help us to rejoice in the gifts God gives us today.

Today we can focus on listening to our inner voice, guiding us toward gratitude and awareness. Use your breath and your senses to anchor you in each moment, letting go of intrusive thoughts and instead, find strength in the light, love, and peace that God provides—peace that surpasses all earthly understanding and brings lasting joy and comfort.

As Buddha said:

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

And Leo Tolstoy reminds us:

“There is only one time that is important—NOW. It is the most important time because it is the only time we have any power.”

So today, focus your energy on the moments you can influence. Be present. Be kind. Be loving toward yourself and others—one moment at a time. Seek the wisdom God has for you today, and live knowing that He loves you and desires to help you be more present in your conversations, actions, and thoughts. The more you practice returning to the present through your breath, the more you’ll enjoy today and feel empowered over distractions and judgments. The power is here—now.

Don’t forget that the practice of being present is more spiritual than anything. If we can choose to BELIEVE IN GOD. We know that HE’S GOT THE PAST. THAT HE’ll BE THERE IN THE FUTURE AND THAT HE’S HERE RIGHT NOW WITH US. Strengthen your Faith in Him and feel the difference. ❤️🕊️🙏🏼

I hope you can join us for class tonight at 7:00 pm!! To release stress, strengthen your body, mind, and spirit, and leave feeling renewed, peaceful and filled with light for TODAY & for the rest of the week.

This week’s goals:

• Spiritual goal: Practice being more present, invite God to be with you in your thoughts. One moment at a time.

• Physical goal: Remove sugary drinks and drink more water. Also, make time to move your body daily—just 30 minutes can make a big difference physically and mentally.

Hope to see you tonight! Love you all. Remember—you are not alone. You are supported, guided, and unconditionally loved exactly as you are. God loves you and will help you through it all. Trust Him, and allow His love and peace to fill you today.

With love,

Lili 💛

Pruning For Growth 🌱

There are seasons in life when growth doesn’t come from adding more, but from letting go. Just as a gardener lovingly prunes a tree—not to harm it, but to help it flourish. God invites us to release habits, thoughts, and patterns that no longer serve our highest good.

Jesus taught, “Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” (John 15:2). Pruning can feel uncomfortable. It may look like releasing resentment, unhealthy coping habits, negative self-talk, or even good things that have begun to crowd out the best things. But the Savior reminds us that this refining is an act of love, guided by divine wisdom.

The scriptures tell us that “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass” (Alma 37:6). Letting go often happens quietly—one choice, one prayer, one breath at a time. God does not rush this process. He walks with us through it.

This is why it’s so important for us to be aware and conscious of our soul and the power of our soul. When we can recognize the awareness that we are peaceful, powerful souls, not defined by old habits or past mistakes. When we pause in mindfulness, breathe deeply, and reconnect with God as the Supreme and divine creator of our soul. He will guide us and help us to create space and to gently release what weighs us down. In stillness, clarity comes. In surrender, our strength grows. Our father in Heaven loves us and wants to help us let go of what is not good and invite all that will help us to grow into the soul that we’re meant to become.

Christ’s invitation is simple and compassionate: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). We are not meant to prune alone. Through prayer, meditation, and mindful awareness of God’s presence, we receive divine help to loosen what binds us and nurture what brings life.

So, take a moment to think about the things that you can recognize that you need to let go of. It may be the distraction of your phone, bad food, entertainment, comparison, anger…whatever it is, prune it with Gods help and see how much better you feel.

As we let go, we make room—for peace, for light, for joy, and for a deeper connection with God. Pruning is not loss; it is preparation. God sees not only who we are now, but who we are becoming.

Our physical goal for the week is to:

Choose one small physical habit to “prune”—such as limiting screen time before bed, drinking more water, or taking a short daily walk. Let this act symbolize your willingness to care for both body and soul.

Our Spiritual Goal for the week is:

Each day this week, spend 5 quiet minutes in prayer or meditation. Ask God: “What is one thing I can lovingly release today?” Listen without judgment, trusting that guidance will come.

Remember: when God prunes, He always does so with purpose—and with love. You can show that love for yourself by pruning and letting go as well. Trust in Gods help and know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. 💛

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm. To strengthen yourself physically and to have an amazing and relaxing meditation to help you release stress and let go. Hope to see you there!

Love

Stillness 💛

Our lives can be either driven by our schedules or by spirit. They can be driven by the constant chatter of our minds or by a place of calm. They can be driven by impulse or by wisdom.

Precious, sacred silence is one of our most essential friends. Our silent time reminds us of who we are and it gives us access to amazing wisdom from which we are guided when making our daily decisions. So why is it so difficult to write it on today’s schedule? Why is it so hard to make time to be still?

Many of us now have a spiritual practice during which we pray for assistance, read the word of God, meditate, focus on gratitude or find ways to inspire our heart. But as we know, the world pulls ferociously in different directions. It begs us to pay attention, to divide our time, to finish tasks, to distract our focus and to be busier than it’s good for our souls.

It takes a mindful effort and awareness to revisit our priorities often, and make the time to connect with our spirit and most importantly, with God our Father. Truly, having this time is the most important thing we will do in the day. When we can set the time to do this first in our day, the rest of the day is driven by moments of intuition gained from connecting mindfully with the source of all love, peace and light.

This is not a duty or an effort. We don’t work to be more spiritually connected; it is who we are. This desire to connect is already within us. All we have to do is set aside time to check in and to let the noise drop away for long enough to reveal the beauty and calm that resides within us. And if we can just hover there…open… For a moment without jumping in with a thought, within that stillness, is when we’re able to activate our soul’s wisdom and when we will be able to hear directly from God. ♥️

Having a time during the day to calm the mind and still the soul can be a challenging practice. But that is one of those things that will have lasting consequences in our lives. We deserve to create moments of internal peace for ourselves. Moments to gain higher intuition and guidance. The rewards of doing this for ourselves will reach across all aspects of our being. Every day is a good day to begin learning or to practice praying with a sincere heart and having a moment of stillness to just listen and connect to the divine.

This week I’ve had a lot on my to do list. But I’ve made it a point to set aside time to be with God. To connect to my source of peace, to open my heart to Him and to just listen. I can’t tell you the amazing words that my soul, mind and heart were filled with. Words of love, encouragement, kindness and peace. I felt all of my worries and stresses completely leave my mind, because I was able to personally feel the Savior directly speaking to me. I

felt His presence. I heard in my heart and mind Him telling me that there’s nothing greater in this world and in this life than the ability or the gift to be able to come to KNOW CHRIST. ♥️ To be able to be a WITNESS of CHRIST. 😭

That experience, took everything that I was “praying for or worried about” completely away from me. In that instant, all of the fears left my soul. I felt completely still and at peace with God. I knew what I heard, what I felt, and I clearly saw in my mind that Jesus Christ was with me in that moment. No amount of money, power, status, popularity, or whatever else we are attached to on this earth, matters more than COMING TO KNOW CHRIST.

I want to testify to all of you, that when we truly have the desire to come to God, we can find Him in stillness. If we make the time for Him, He will quiet our minds and souls and we will be able to hear directly from Him! 😭 There’s nothing more amazing than hearing directly from the source. 💛He wants to guide us, help us, give us peace, un attach us from the things that keep us stuck in this world. He wants us to come to know Him and to see and experience for ourselves how amazing this loving God is. He has a plan for each one of us and He is fully aware of all that we have in our hearts and minds.

I invite you to come to Him and experience opening your heart, mind and soul to God. Ask Him to help you find stillness in your soul and experience the love and peace of a loving God for yourself. ♥️🥰

Our goal for this week is to create more peaceful moments, to quiet our minds, be still and listen. We can ask for inspiration, breathe and take a moment to write down what we feel. As we’re able to keep those notes throughout the week, we will see that God does speak to us. Directly to our heart ♥️ That internal peace is always available to us. Silence and peace can become our new friend. God wants to remind us that we can create moments to be still, to Still our souls and to know that He is God. Invite more of that light and wisdom into your day and you’ll feel the difference.

As we choose to make time for moments of peace and quiet. We will be better able to express our feelings to our Father in Heaven. We will be better able to find peace for our soul, we will be open to allowing the light of Christ to enter more deeply into our lives. Allowing Him to purify and remove our negative thoughts and feelings and instead inviting the healing light of the Savior to cover us completely. 

I fully believe that it is part of our earthly experience to come and live in these bodies. So that we may learn to live and take care of them. But also, so that we may LEARN to go within ourselves to find the divine stillness that can only come from the presence of God. From where our spirits were born. We must learn this skill of going within and quieting the mind and the world. To really know that we TRUST GOD. To connect to Him in prayer and in spirit. 

As we PRACTICE this skill, we will feel a stronger connection to Heaven. More inspiration and insights will come. We will be better able to handle our problems and we will have more trust and faith in God. We will gain a confidence that is divine and rises above any type of worldly confidence. There’s no degree, no amount of money, Power or no self help courses that can bring the type of confidence and peace that only the spirit of God can provide to our souls. 

May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open, have faith and receive. & most importantly, let your spirit lead and remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. 

Make it your goal today to come to class tonight at 7pm! The hardest thing is always showing up. So, put on your workout clothes as a sign of the promise that you’re making to yourself to be there! Turn your attention away from the world and focus on giving yourself the gift of one hour to yourself tonight. Our meditation will be focused on stillness and allowing God to speak to ourselves. So, come and give yourself the gift of slowing down. You deserve it! ♥️

Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! Make it your priority this week to make quiet moments for Him and to strengthen yourself from within. Notice His hand in your life and thank Him for your many blessings. He will guide you on what to focus on each hour of your day. & don’t forget that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. ♥️🥰🙏🏼

Love,

Rooted In Christ 💛

As the year begins, we all have the opportunity to choose what we will focus on. We can choose what we worship and where we will find our peace throughout the year.

The reality is that we all have moments when the storms of life rage and the winds of discouragement blow. In those moments, it’s easy to feel uprooted—shaken by trials, hurt by others, or burdened by uncertainty. Yet just as a tree stands firm because its roots reach deep into nourishing soil, we too can stand strong when our roots reach deep into Christ, our Redeemer.

I love the image of being rooted in Christ. To be rooted in Him means allowing His love, His teachings, and His Spirit to become the foundation that steadies our souls. In Him, we are strong. In Him, we are nourished with peace, love, compassion, faith, and strength.

Paul taught: “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith…”Colossians 2:6–7

When our roots are in Christ, we are not defined by the storms around us but by the strength beneath us. We are able to focus on Him and remember, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).

The Savior taught:

“Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them… is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock.”— Luke 6:47–48

That rock is Christ.

In moments when people test our patience, when fear whispers doubts, or when our hearts ache from loss or loneliness, we can pause and remember where we are rooted. His light and love flow quietly beneath the surface, ready to sustain us as we stay connected through prayer, scripture, and stillness.

Tonight in class, we will focus on a beautiful meditation centered on being rooted in Christ. I hope you’ll join tonight at 7pm. As we turn off the noise of the world and focus not only on strengthening our bodies, but also on deepening our spiritual roots in Him. 💛

Here are a few mindfulness exercises you can practice today:

1. The “Deep Root” Breath

Sit still for a moment. Breathe deeply and imagine your breath drawing strength from deep roots reaching into Christ’s love.

• As you inhale, say silently: “I am grounded in Christ.”

• As you exhale, say: “He strengthens me.”

Allow His peace to fill your mind and body. Remain in this sacred stillness for one minute.

2. Scripture Root Reflection

Open your scriptures and read one verse about Christ’s strength (for example, Philippians 4:13). Read slowly and ask yourself:

• What truth is Christ teaching me here?

• How can this truth steady me today?

Write one short sentence to carry with you, such as “Christ is my anchor” or “Through Him, I am strong.” Repeat it whenever challenges arise.

Here are a few anchoring scriptures to reflect on:

• “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” — Philippians 4:13

• “Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God.” — Doctrine and Covenants 123:17

• “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” — Joshua 1:9

• “Ye must build your foundation upon my rock… a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.” — Helaman 5:12

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”— Ephesians 3:17–19

Our goal for this week is to strengthen our roots in Christ—to allow ourselves to feel His love in both the difficult and the beautiful moments of our lives.

That we may we live in daily gratitude for the ways we “water our roots,” and even for the storms that ultimately help our roots grow deeper.

Let’s make it our goal to trust in God daily, to become fully rooted in Him, and feel His love no matter what we may be facing.

Remember, Christ doesn’t always calm every storm immediately—but when we are rooted in Him, He calms our heart and soul first. His roots of mercy, peace, and strength hold us steady when life feels uncertain. The deeper those roots grow—through faith, prayer, and obedience—the more unshakable we become.

Reming yourself today:

“No matter what comes, I will stay rooted in Christ. He is my rock, my Redeemer, my anchor and my peace.”

Love you all, and I hope to see you tonight at 7:00 pm💛

With love,

New Year, New Seed 🌱

A new year begins much like a small seed placed into the soil…quiet, hopeful, and full of unseen potential. On the outside, it may look ordinary and small. But inside that seed is the promise of growth, strength, and life.

The beginning of a new year invites us to plant something new in our hearts: a desire to grow, to heal, to take care of ourselves and to walk a little closer with Christ.

Just as a seed doesn’t grow all at once, neither do we. Growth begins beneath the surface, in the unseen places. When we water our seed daily, through scripture study, sincere prayer, and caring for ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually—we strengthen our roots. These small, faithful acts may feel unseen, but they are powerful. They prepare us to stand firm when challenges come. They help us to keep our bodies healthy, our minds focused on good and our spirit filled with the hope of Christ.

As the seed begins to grow, it naturally reaches toward the light. Christ is that light in our lives. Reaching to Him no matter what is goi g on in our lives is truly healing.

Jesus said; “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness.” (John 8:12)

When we align our lives to walk with Him, choosing His ways, His love, and His example—we allow His light to nourish us. Like sunlight to a plant, His light brings direction, warmth, and life! We don’t need to walk perfectly; we only need to walk intentionally, trusting that His light will guide each step. ☀️

Healthy growth also requires pruning. A gardener knows that pruning is not a loss—it’s an act of love. Jesus taught this same truth:

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” (John 15:2 NIV)

This year, cutting and pruning may mean letting go of negative self-talk, unhealthy habits, past guilt, fear, or comparison. Through prayer, reflection, repentance, and grace, we can release what weakens us and make room for what strengthens us.

Pruning might look like:

• Setting boundaries that protect your peace.

• Replacing lies with truth about who you are in Christ.

• Making time for rest and renewal.

• Choosing habits that nourish rather than drain.

As we consistently water what is good, remove what no longer serves us, and remain rooted in Christ’s light, growth will come—sometimes slowly, sometimes quietly, but always purposefully.

“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day”.(Proverbs 4:18NIV)

This year we don’t need to look for perfection. Only for willingness of heart to try our best to plant the seed daily for our spiritual, physical and emotional growth. God will see our daily efforts and He will help us. We just need to have hope and faith in God and in ourselves. Remembering that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. ❤️

What matters is that we take care of ourselves daily. As President Russell M. Nelson has reminded us, “Consistent, small, and simple actions lead to significant spiritual results over time.”💛 The little habits that we practice and incorporate will become some of the biggest blessings to us.

This year in class our focus is to strengthen ourselves even more physically, mentally and spiritually. It’s a necessity for the world in which we live…and it’s vital for us to feel stronger, confident and aligned to God. 💪🏼🥰

Our goals for the week are;

• Physical Goal: Choose one simple way to care for your body each day—drink more water, take a nice walk, stretch, come to class, or go to bed a little earlier.

• Spiritual Goal: Spend 5–10 minutes each day with the Lord—read a few verses of scripture, say a sincere prayer, or write down one thing you want to grow this year, take action and allow God to help you. ❤️

I’m so thankful for the opportunity that we all have to start a new year. I pray that 2026 will inspire us to invite Christ into our planning, into our growth. That we may have wisdom to focus on the truly important things of our lives and find joy in our journey. I pray that we maybe more rooted in the knowledge of knowing that we are loved by our creator. That we may trust in His goodness and light for our lives. That we may allow Him to help us prune and take away all that is not for our benefit and that this year we may feel the desire to come to know Christ more and walk with Him. Becoming, little by little, all that He already knows you can be 🌱✨

I hope that you can make it to the first class of 2026!!! Tonight in class we will not only release stress and strengthen ourselves, but we will also set some goals for the next 6 weeks to strengthen our body, mind and spirit!! 🥰💛 🌱 Hope that you can make it and invite others to come benefit as well. Can’t wait to do this and leave feeling peaceful and renewed! Let’s start the new year the best way we can! Love you all and let’s do this tonight at 7! 💪🏼😊

The Light Of Christmas 💛

As Christmas arrives and the year gently comes to a close, we have the choice to allow the chaos to get to us or to choices to have moments to slow down. We are invited to focus on the light, gifts and blessings that we have in our lives. To not a rush, not feel the pressure of perfectionism, but to let go and focus on light instead. Even when life feels full, noisy, or uncertain, the message of this season remains beautifully simple: Christ is here. He is present and His presence can be felt is we choose to focus on His light.

The world often tells us that joy must be loud, visible, and wrapped in accomplishment. But the joy Christ offers is different. It is steady. It is peaceful. It is available even on quiet mornings, messy afternoons, and tired nights.

“The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

— John 1:5

No matter what this year has held—growth or grief, clarity or confusion—the light of Christ has never left you. And as we turn our hearts toward Him, we begin to notice that light again, gently illuminating our path forward.

Christmas reminds us that God works through the small and the humble. A baby in a manger. A quiet star in the sky. A still, small voice within our hearts. This is not a season that asks us to do more, but a time that invites us to receive more. To feel more of His light and love and live in gratitude for all that we’re blessed to have. Having that light in our lives changes us and allows us to share that light with others as well.

“Joy to the world, the Lord is come: let earth receive her King.”

To receive Christ is to receive hope. To receive peace. To receive the reassurance that we are known, loved, and never alone.

He tells us; “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

— John 14:27

As the year ends, we don’t need to look back with judgment. We can look forward with trust. Christ goes before us into the new year, already aware of what we’ll need—and already prepared to walk with us.

Some of the ways we can invite that feeling of Christ’s light into our lives are:

1. Begin the Day with Light

Each morning, before reaching for your phone, take one slow breath and say:

“Today, I walk with Christ.”

Let that intention guide your day.

2. Find Christ in the Ordinary

Choose one ordinary moment each day—washing dishes, driving, folding laundry—and silently thank the Savior for being present with you in it.

“In every thing give thanks.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

3. End the Day with Hope

Each night, name one way you saw light that day: kindness, strength, peace, or rest. Offer it back to God in gratitude.

As we move through Christmas and into the new year, here is a simple and uplifting goal to carry with you:

✨ For the next two weeks, choose one small daily act that helps you turn your heart toward Christ.

It might be:

• Reading one verse of scripture

• Offering a sincere prayer of gratitude

• Serving someone quietly

• Pausing to breathe and remember Him

Small acts, done consistently, open our hearts to great light.

— Doctrine & Covenants 6:36

“Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”

May this Christmas fill you not with pressure, but with peace. And that you may remember and feel that Christ is near—walking beside you, lifting you, and leading you forward with love.

And may you enter the new year carrying not the weight of what was, but the hope of what can be, anchored firmly in Christ and in the daily light that He provides.

I hope that we can all see each other tonight at 7pm to have our last class of 2025! Come ready to release stress, get stronger and leave feeling peaceful and uplifted. 💛

Love,

Lili 💗

The Best Gift ♥️

Christmas can feel chaotic and a little crazy sometimes. The world puts so much pressure on us—pressure to buy the perfect gifts, to have a beautifully decorated home, to run around nonstop, spend money, and fill our schedules with activities.

But this season also gives us a precious opportunity to refocus on what truly matters. Instead of getting caught up in all the external, material things, we can choose to turn our hearts toward the gifts God has given us throughout the year. We can choose to be more present, to breathe and purposefully calm our minds a little more, we can choose to notice the ways we’ve seen His hand in our lives, and to give in the ways He invites us to give.

The gifts God wants from us aren’t always material or monetary. This Christmas, I invite each of us to think about the gifts He would want us to give—gifts like kindness, patience, love, peace, forgiveness, friendship…all the things our Savior Jesus Christ has taught us we can offer. So this season, let’s try to turn our attention a little more away from the world and instead offer God the true gifts of our hearts. ❤️

One of those gifts is gratitude—expressing our thankfulness through prayer for all the blessings He gives us. Another is repentance—humbly asking for forgiveness for the times we’ve fallen short or lacked love toward ourselves or others.

We can offer Him charity by being kind, mending relationships, and extending grace. We can give Him our trust. Our faith. Our love—by loving others the way He loves us.

The scriptures teach us about some of the gifts that we can offer to Him:

“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them… Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25:37–40)

We can feel God’s love by serving Him and by giving to others—but also by being humble enough to receive help, love, and kindness from others as well.

As we center our hearts on truly celebrating Christ’s birth and choose to offer these gifts to Him, we’ll find that what we give to God fills our hearts with a deeper, more lasting joy than anything material ever could.

Through prayer, we connect with Him—expressing gratitude for the gift of salvation and all He provides daily. Every act of kindness becomes an offering, reflecting the teachings of Jesus. Even the time we give in worship is a gift, acknowledging the sacredness of this season.

Let’s let our lives be living testimonies—embodying the values of Christ, recognizing the blessings we have, and willingly offering Him our best during this beautiful time of year. When we remember the gifts our Heavenly Father has given us, especially the gift of His Son, it softens and humbles us. It turns our hearts toward Him.

Giving with a pure heart fills our souls more than anything we could ever receive. Giving truly is better than receiving. ♥️

So… which gifts will you offer to God this week?

I pray this message brings you insight and helps you feel God’s immense love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion for you. That you may know that you’re never alone. ♥️ The Giver of all good gifts is with you—supporting you, strengthening you, and helping you through anything. Trust Him, believe in Him, and give Him your best! Turn your heart a little more to Him, your thoughts to be more centered on Christ and your actions, that they may be to glorify God.

Our goal for this week is to slow down our racing minds, take a moment to feel God‘s love and focus instead on a gift that we can offer to God this week. Whatever that gift is that we choose to give Him. Just notice how your heart will fill with divine light this Christmas season. 💛🎄🙏🏼

Unfortunately, CLASS IS CANCELLED TONIGHT. But hopefully we can all get together next Thursday the 18th to have our last class of 2025! Hope that you can join us for that. 🙂

For now, don’t forget to honor our body, mind, and spirit this week by doing good things for yourself. I hope that your week is anchored in Christ. Love you all!

Love,

Lili

Daily Gifts 💛

I recently read a quote that says, “Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.” Too often, we take the little things for granted. The gift of a new day, the ability to move, the health we have…These are blessings from above.

We don’t need to carry so much stress. We can choose instead to remember the Father of Lights and acknowledge the gifts He is giving us today. I invite you to take a moment to look for the fingerprints of God—His love, His mercy, and His divinity—surrounding you right now. ☀️

Some days are harder than others, but no matter what kind of day we’re having, we are invited to slow down, to focus on today, to take life one moment at a time. We can choose to be present, to ask God to help us become more aware of our blessings, and to fill our hearts with peace, love, and light. These are gifts He is always willing to give when we come to Him with a sincere heart.

God wants us to practice being present. In Matthew 6:34 we read: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow… Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” He is gently reminding us to focus on the gift of this day. As His children, He allows us to choose where we place our attention and how we respond.

So we get to decide:

Do we want to invite the Spirit into this moment?

Do we want to acknowledge the gifts we have right now—the chance to live, love, smile, and feel peace?

There will never be another day exactly like today. We can choose to make it meaningful by focusing on what is truly important and on what draws us closer to God and His divine light.💛

Sometimes we fall into patterns of seeing life the same old way. But what if today, we choose to see the beauty around us? What if we view our day as filled with sacred sights and sounds? Even the messy, stressful, or heavy moments can become holy moments when we look for God in them.

James 1:17 teaches: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.”

He is the giver of all good gifts. As we choose to see His light, we will feel Him more deeply. He loves us and wants our hearts lifted above the noise of the world. He wants us to trust Him—the Father of our souls. He knows you. He LOVES you. He has a perfect plan for you. And even when life feels overwhelming, remember: You can do all things with His help. As you trust Him and come to Him, His light will increase in your life.

So today, let’s look up—to the Father of Lights—so He can fill us with more light. His light is already within us, but it is up to us to fill our hearts and homes with even more of His presence.💫

Let’s not allow the adversary to pull us down. We are stronger than we realize because our strength comes from God. We can let go of what burdens us and remember that ALL things are under His control. We can reject negativity through prayer and by filling our minds and spirits with uplifting things.

So change things up today:

• Choose Christian music to lift your heart.

• Choose messages of light to inspire you.

• Choose to see the good in your journey.

• Choose to come closer to Christ.

He invites us to feel His love in the simple, daily moments of life. Enjoy them. Let your heart be peaceful. Let His light transform your day.

As we enter this Christmas season, I invite you to look for the light—for the gifts God gives you daily. Be a light to others and consciously choose to be filled with love, light, and peace, moment by moment. Allow God to strengthen you, help you reject negativity, and fill you with the peace that only He can offer.

I also want to challenge you to think of a gift you can give to God this season. Ask yourself:

“What is one gift I can offer Him this week?”

I pray that as you ask this question, He will inspire your heart and bless you with greater gratitude, abundance, and joy. That you may hear directly from Him where He wants you to focus your energy. Whom He needs you to help etc. ❤️

And tonight in class, I invite you to be fully present. Enjoy the gift of moving your body and strengthening yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you’ve been feeling stressed or overwhelmed, come. Let this time bless you. Come ready for a peaceful meditation that will re-center and re-focus you on what truly matters. This is the season when we need it most.

Love you all! Can’t wait to do this together! 💖

Love,

Lili 🌸
