New Beginnings 🌸

Regardless of the different circumstances that we may be experiencing today, God wants each one of us to take a moment and feel the sunshine, breathe, look at the flowers and animals and just for a moment feel the love of God in our hearts. 💞 He wants to remind us that His hands are always stretched out inviting us to come to Him and to feel His love, grace and peace.

When we can choose to disconnect from our everyday stresses and purposefully turn our minds and hearts to Him, we’ll be better able to feel His love.

The love and peace of God cannot be purchased with wealth or power. It can only come directly to our hearts when we choose to open ourselves to it. His peace, grace and love can comfort us even when our circumstances haven’t changed. Yet, somehow we can feel that He’s right here with us. We trust Him. We know that all will be ok in the end because of Him. ❤️ Only God can bring that type of comfort to a heart.

As we look at the blossoming flowers this Spring and especially this Easter, let’s remind ourselves that Easter is an invitation for us to renew ourselves an to start fresh. An opportunity for us to blossom more and to be drawn to the example of love that Jesus Christ has given us. 🌹

Through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are given the most powerful message of hope: That light overcomes darkness, that love is stronger than death, and that we can be made new. We can feel and know that our Savior lives! That He is ready to help us start new, to blossom in ways that we can only achieve with His help. He is our light, He is our guide. 💛

Matthew 28:6 says; “He is not here: for he is risen” It’s amazing how these simple words changed the world! Everyone who saw Him after He had risen, realized that death wasn’t the end. Those words not only changed humanity, but they can change us too. Easter is not just about what happened long ago; it is about what can happen within us today. How can we allow the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to bless our lives today? How can we rejoice in that knowledge and allow it to change our minds and hearts forever? ❤️

We can help ourselves to prepare for Easter by inviting God to comfort our troubled hearts and minds. We can ask Him to help us soften what is rough within us, we can ask Him to help us remember, learn new insights from Him and strengthen our relationship with Him.

We can also strengthen ourselves by:

• Letting go of something heavy, any resentments, fear, judgements or guilt.

• Choosing to focus on gratitude instead of lack.

• Making space each day to feel God’s love.

• & Serving someone quietly, just as Christ would.

There’s a beautiful quote that says: “Because of Him, broken things are made whole.” So, when each one of us in our brokenness comes to Him, we’re able to reconnect to His Divine light , we then become lit 🔥 by the same divine light, and this allows us to be better able to feel His divine peace and powerful healing. 💛

This Easter season is our invitation to come back to that light. To be able to feel it! Receive the grace and the forgiveness we each need, to humble ourselves before Him and let Him change us and fill us with hope, joy, true love and peace.

Here’s a Mindfulness Exercise that can help us as well.

Take 2–3 minutes each day this week and simply notice:

• One thing in your life that is growing

• One area where you feel hope returning

• One small way you have changed for the better

Let yourself feel gratitude for these quiet moments of renewal or “resurrections” that you’re experiencing. Allow yourself to be loving and kind to yourself as you recognize what is blossoming in your life. 🌷

Tonight in class we will practice a meditation similar to this one in case you would like to try it. 🤍🕊️

Close your eyes. Take a slow, deep breath in… and out.

Imagine a soft, warm light above you, peaceful and full of love.

This light represents the love of God and the hope of Easter.

As you breathe in, imagine that light gently filling your heart.

As you breathe out, release any heaviness, worry, or fear.

Silently say to yourself:

“I am renewed. I am loved. I am filled with light.”

Sit in that feeling for a moment.💛

When you’re ready, gently open your eyes.

Hope that you can join us tonight at 7pm to let go of the stress and the things that feel heavy. Our focus will be on releasing stress, strengthening our bodies, and ending with a beautiful meditation that will help us to feel renewed, more connected to the Divine light of our Savior Jesus Christ & allow us to leave feeling peaceful and ready for a beautiful Easter weekend. 🕊️💛🙏🏼

CLASS WILL BE CANCELED NEXT WEEK. But we will resume again on April 16th. So, hopefully you can make it tonight and feel the difference for the rest of your week. 🥰

🌸 Our Goals for This Week are;

Spiritual Goal:

Spend 5–10 minutes each day reading about the life and Resurrection of Christ, or quietly praying/meditating to feel closer to God.

💪🏼Physical Goal:

Get outside for at least 10–15 minutes each day. We want to walk, stretch, or simply sit in the sunlight and notice the signs of new life around you. Take care of your body by eating healthy and resting when needed. 🥰

This Easter, remember: you don’t have to wait for change, you are already part of it. 🌱The same power that brought life from the tomb can bring peace, healing, and new beginnings into your life right now. 💛🥹🙏🏼 His love is real! He is ready to be with you in the ups and downs of life and I rejoice in the knowledge that He lives! Loves us and wants the best for us. Let’s Celebrate Him and what He can do for us. ❤️

Love you all and hope to see you you tonight!

Where Is My Focus? 💛

It’s easy to believe that happiness comes from having everything go right. When life feels smooth, when prayers are answered quickly, when relationships are easy, and when nothing seems to go wrong. But if we’re honest, life will always bring us its ups and downs, its days that are really beautiful and some that are hard, days that are amazing and some that are uncertain and painful.

The reality is that we can experience the hills and valleys of life CHOOSING to focus on the good or choosing to focus on the bad.

Russell M. Nelson once taught:

“The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.”

That means that even in imperfect situations, we are not powerless. We can gently redirect our thoughts. We can choose what we give weight to.

One of the life lessons we can all gain is that happiness has far less to do with our circumstances… and almost everything to do with our focus.

Im reality, what we choose to think about, dwell on, and give energy to will shape the way we experience our lives.

In the scriptures, we’re reminded in Philippians 4:8:

“Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely… think on these things.”

This is a pattern for peace. Our Father in Heaven wants to teach us that our thoughts do matter! What we focus on does make a difference in our lives. He wants us to learn how to train our minds to look for what is going to bring light, truth, love, and peace to our lives.

Here are a few ways to begin training our lmind and heart to notice the good:

1. Practice “Micro-Gratitude”
Instead of waiting for big blessings, notice small ones:
• A kind text
• A quiet morning
• A deep breath
• A moment of laughter

Gratitude grows when it becomes specific and consistent.

2. Name It, Then Reframe It
When something negative happens, don’t ignore it, but don’t stay there either.
Ask yourself:
• What is still good right now?
• What is this teaching me?

This doesn’t deny reality…It expands it.

3. Guard Your Mental Space
Be mindful of what you consume:
• Social media
• Conversations
• Your own inner dialogue

If something constantly pulls you toward comparison or discouragement, it may need to be limited. Take care of yourself and let go of the things that steal your joy.

4. Start and End with Intention
Begin your day by choosing a focus: “Today, I will look for God’s hand in my life.”
End your day by reflecting: “Where did I see goodness today?”

Theres a saying that says:

“Energy flows where attention goes.”

When we focus on fear, we feel drained.

When we focus on peace, gratitude, and truth, we begin to embody those things.

As disciples of Christ, we believe that light is not something we wait for. It’s something we choose to see. Something we look for and invite into our lives. We can invite this light by being present, building our relationship with God. Reading His words and purposefully being aware of our thoughts and helping ourselves to process them.

Jesus Himself taught in D&C. 88:67:

“If your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light.

I love this scripture because it teaches us that our eyes are the light of our body. Our “eye” acts as a lamp to our whole body, mind and soul. When our focus is on “the goodness” or on God, that goodness fills our mind and heart, which the. guides our actions and helps us to feel greater joy and peace in our lives. Regardless of what we “have” or “not have.”

When our focus is on God, that alone removes our selfish motives or ambitions. We remove the distractions that don’t help us and we strengthen ourselves in spiritual understanding which is eternal and truly fulfilling. ❤️

🌸 Heres a simple mindfulness & gratitude meditation

Take a moment, even now if you can:

• Close your eyes gently

• Take a slow, deep breath in… and out

• Let your shoulders relax

Now bring to mind three small things you’re grateful for today

(not big, perfect things—just real ones)

Pause with each one. Feel it.

Now quietly repeat in your mind:

“There is good in my life.

There is light around me.

I choose to see it.” 💛

Take one more deep breath… and open your eyes.

Tonight in class we’ll not only release stress, but we’ll also have a wonderful meditation to help us re-focus our mind and thoughts. 🙂

🌟 Goals for This Week

Physical Goal:

Take a 10-minute “gratitude walk” each day.

As you walk, intentionally notice 5 good things around you—nature, people, moments.

Spiritual Goal:

Each night, write down 3 things you saw God’s hand in that day. God’s finger are all around if we choose to discover them and see them. No matter how small the may seem.

Happiness isn’t about waiting for life to become perfect.

It’s about training our hearts and minds to recognize the good that is already here.

The more we focus on light… the more light we will see! 💛🥰

Hope that today and this week you can focus on the light. The light of God, the good in your life, your blessings and on being the keeper of your joy and your peace.

Hope to see you tonight at 7pm! 🥰🧘🏻‍♀️💛

Love,

Lili 🌺

Nurture The Body, Mind & Spirit 🩵

In a world that is filled with so much chaos, and that constantly pulls us in different directions, it’s easy to feel out of balance. It’s in those moments when we need to be reminded of the importance of taking care of going back to the basics and learning to take care of ourselves. To remind ourselves that we are beautifully created with a body, a mind, and a spirit that deserves care, attention, and love. ❤️

When we nurture all three areas of ourselves, we begin to feel more grounded, more peaceful, and more aligned with God’s purpose for us. Which is exactly why we need in the world we’re living in.

Let’s start with our bodies. Think of the amazing gift that it is to have this body. We’re able to learn the difference between sickness and pain and experience seeing our amazing bodies healing themselves and letting us know when something is wrong. There are so many things that we take for granted in our bodies. It’s important for us to learn to speak positively to ourselves about our bodies and express gratitude for having this body. God taught us that our bodies are temples entrusted to us. This is where our eternal spirit resides, and taking care of them doesn’t have to be complicated.

It begins with small, intentional choices: moving daily, nourishing ourselves with wholesome foods, resting when we’re tired, and listening to what our body needs. Even a simple walk, stretching in the morning, or drinking more water can become acts of gratitude. As it teaches in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. When we care for them, we honor God and ourselves.

Here’s a goal that we can practice:

• Move our body for 20–30 minutes a day (walk, dance, stretch)

• Drink more water than usual

• Pause and take 3 deep breaths when feeling overwhelmed.

Now let’s focus on our mind and the importance of strengthening our minds. 💪🏼🧠

Our thoughts shape our reality. What we think about consistently influences how we feel and how we act. Learning to gently guide our thoughts can bring clarity and peace.

Not every thought we have is true or helpful, and that’s okay. We can notice our thoughts without judgment and choose to replace negative ones with truth and light. Philippians 4:8 says; We are invited to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, and uplifting.

Here’s an exercise we can practice to help strengthen our mind;

• When a negative thought comes, pause for a moment and ask: Is this true? Is this helpful?

• Replace it with something truthful and kind
(Example: “I’m not enough” with ➡️ “I am learning, growing, and doing my best.”)

• Also practice writing down 3 things you’re grateful for each day. Gratitude and choosing our thoughts is one of the best easy to strengthen our minds.

& finally nurturing the Spirit. 💛

Our spirit is where we connect with God. When we strengthen our spirit, everything else begins to fall into place. I’ve noticed in my life that when my health isn’t well, I try to focus on nourishing myself spiritually and that helps me to overcome my health challenges much better. 🥹 Same with my mind. When my thoughts are not very positive or doing well, I can focus on my spirituality and it also helps me to re-focus my thoughts and to help me overcome my negative thinking.

I fully believe that God wants us to first strengthen ourselves spiritually, to them be able to help all of the other areas of our lives with His guidance. This doesn’t require perfection, just consistency and a willing heart that’s ready to hear from God and learn from His words and from speaking to Him daily. ☀️

One of the best ways we can do this is to spend time daily in prayer. We can fill ourselves spiritually by reading a verse of scripture and reflecting on it. We can sit in stillness and pray to God and invite Him into our thoughts, to help us with our worries, and our desires. & to come to know that He truly cares deeply about every part of YOUR life. ❤️

There’s a scripture in D&C 88:63, which says; “Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.” That promise is real and available to each one of us every day.

Here’s an exercise that we can practice each day to lift us spiritually.

• Begin your day with a heartfelt and sincere prayer: “Heavenly Father, please help me, forgive me & guide me today…”

• Read a few lines of scripture and think about how it applies to your life or what you can gain from it.

• Throughout the day try to invite thoughts and scriptures that strengthen your mind and help you feel peace, gratitude and love. Practice taking deep breaths throughout the day & end your day with gratitude and reflection.

I also love how mindless and meditation can help. For example doing an exercise like this;

Find a quiet moment. Close your eyes. Take a slow, deep breath in… and out.

As you breathe, gently say in your heart:

• “I am cared for.” (inhale)

• “I am guided.” (exhale)

Picture God’s light surrounding you! ☀️💛 bringing peace to your mind, strength to your body, and calm to your spirit. Stay here for a minute or two, simply breathing and receiving.

I wanted to give you some practical ideas on how to add a little more balance for your body, mind and spirit in your daily life. Remember that NO ONE can do this for you except yourself. Love yourself enough to make the time for this and you’ll feel the difference.

Here are our goals for This Week:

✨ Physical Goal:

Move your body for at least 20 minutes, 4 times this week. Keep it simple and enjoyable—walking, stretching, dancing or light exercise.

✨ Spiritual Goal:

Spend 5–10 minutes each day connecting with God through prayer, scripture, or quiet reflection.

As you care for your body, mind, and spirit, remember you don’t have to do everything perfectly. Small, consistent efforts can make a big difference. 💖 God is not asking for perfection, only your willingness to keep showing up for yourself and to trust that He will help you from one moment to the next.

God loves you and wants to help you on your journey. ❤️ Our goal in this life is to choose the good! To choose God & to recognize that our soul is eternal and that we’re here to learn how to recognize Gods voice and allow Him to guide us throughout our life. 💛

Please remember to be kind and loving to yourself. To count your blessings and be grateful for what you have today. ☀️ Do your best to continue growing, learning and choose to be surrounded by the peace and the love of God daily. ☺️

Hope that you can join us again tonight at 7pm to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. We will have a wonderful hour to release stress, dance, stretch and end with and an amazing meditation that will leave us feeling renewed and peaceful. Hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well.

Love

You Are Enough 💖

At some point in life, we all face feelings of inadequacy. Maybe you feel like you’re not measuring up as a parent, spouse, student, or disciple of Christ. You might compare yourself to others and feel like you fall short. These feelings can be overwhelming, but the truth is—you are enough, just as you are, because you are a child of God.

Part of our journey on this earth is to recognize where these feelings come from and to learn how to overcome them. 

Feelings of not being good enough often stem from unrealistic expectations, comparison, or fear of failure. The adversary wants you to believe that you are not worthy, that you will never be enough, and that your efforts don’t matter. But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ see you differently. They see your potential, your goodness, and your efforts, even when you don’t.

So, take a moment to take some deep breath and remind yourself that you’re doing better than you think. Try to remind yourself of your blessings and that God loves you and will always be here for you. 

President Russell M. Nelson has taught:

“You are a son or daughter of God. He is your Heavenly Father. He loves you. He and His Son, Jesus Christ, have a plan for you. They will do everything within Their power that you will let Them do to help you.”

Your worth is not dependent on your accomplishments, talents, or what the world says about you. Your worth is inherent because you are a child of God. He loves you unconditionally, and nothing can change that.

We can also remind ourselves that we can rely on Christ’s Grace. 

Sometimes we feel like we have to be perfect to be accepted by God. But perfection isn’t the requirement—progress is. The Savior’s Atonement is there to lift you, strengthen you, and help you grow. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Lord reminds us:

“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

You don’t have to do it all on your own. Christ fills in the gaps. He strengthens your weaknesses and makes you more than you could ever be on your own.

Here are some ways to overcome feelings of not being good enough:

1. Pray for Help – Pour out your heart to Heavenly Father. He understands your struggles and wants to help you see yourself as He does.

2. Stop Comparing – Social media and the world often show only the highlight reels of others’ lives. Focus on your journey and the progress you are making.

3. Focus on What You Can Do – Instead of dwelling on what you lack, recognize what you do well. Celebrate your strengths and accomplishments, no matter how small.

4. Serve Others – Sometimes, the best way to overcome negative feelings about yourself is to lift someone else. Service helps us feel God’s love and reminds us that we have value.

5. Fill Your Mind with Truth – Read the scriptures, listen to uplifting talks, and surround yourself with positive influences that remind you of your divine worth.

6. Be Patient with Yourself – Growth takes time. Heavenly Father doesn’t expect perfection overnight. Give yourself grace, just as He does.

Remember That God Sees You Differently Than You See Yourself

One of the most beautiful examples of this is found in the story of Gideon in the Old Testament. Gideon saw himself as weak and incapable, but when the angel of the Lord appeared to him, he called him a “mighty man of valor” (Judges 6:12). God saw who he could become, not just who he was at that moment.

The same is true for you. You are not defined by your doubts, fears, or past mistakes. You are defined by your divine potential and the love God has for you.

You Are Enough, Because You Are His. 

If you’re struggling with feelings of inadequacy, remember this: You are doing better than you think you are. Your efforts matter. You are loved beyond measure. And with Christ, you are always enough.

Whenever you feel like you’re not measuring up, turn to Him. He will remind you of your worth, strengthen your heart, and help you see yourself the way He sees you. Keep going—He is with you every step of the way.

“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)

This week the goal is to be kind and loving to ourselves. Talk to yourself as you would talk to your friend or someone you love. Stop talking to yourself negatively and instead remind yourself of the love that God has for you. Your blessings and of your divine worth which you brought with you from Heaven and will remain with you FOREVER.

Hope to see you in class tonight at 7pm to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually

Love, 

Lili

Faith Over Fear 💖

Life is unpredictable. No matter how hard we try to plan and prepare, challenges arise that test our faith and fill us with fear and stress. We worry about the future, our families, our responsibilities, and the unknown. These burdens can sometimes feel overwhelming, making peace seem out of reach.

But the Savior invites us to take a different path. He pleads with us:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

What a beautiful promise that the Lord makes when we choose to trust Him. That doesn’t mean our trials will disappear overnight, but it does mean that we won’t have to carry them alone & He will help us.

When Peter had enough faith to walk on water toward Jesus, he did something incredible! But the moment he took his eyes off the Savior and focused on the storm, he began to sink. (Matthew 14:28–31). The same thing happens to us. If we focus on our fears, we will feel like we’re drowning in stress, anxiety, etc. But if we fix our eyes on Christ, we will find the strength to move forward. We are capable of shifting our focus to Christ no matter what we’re going through. It requires strength but we can choose faith over fear and feel the difference.

So how can we practice and strengthen our mind and soul to choose faith rather than fear?

1. Pray with Real Intent; Instead of letting fear dominate our thoughts, we can pour our hearts out to the Lord. He knows our struggles and stands ready to help us. When we replace anxious thoughts with heartfelt prayers, we invite peace into our lives.

2. Fill Your Mind with His Words; Fear thrives in the absence of faith. Immersing ourselves in the scriptures, in the words of God builds spiritual confidence and pushes out doubt. When we read about God’s faithfulness to His children, we remember that He will also be faithful to us.

3. Turn Worry into Worship; Rather than dwelling on what we can’t control, we can focus on what we can. On inviting positive thoughts, serving others, expressing gratitude, and deepening our relationship with Christ. When we choose to worship instead of worry, our perspective shifts from fear to trust.

4. Trust the Lord’s Timing; Fear often comes when we don’t see immediate solutions. But faith reminds us that God is never late. He is working in our lives, even when we don’t see it. Trusting His timing allows us to let go of stress and lean into His plan. Also, remember that fear is not an emotion that comes from God. He’s the giver of peace, love and strength. When we can recognize that, we can let go of the fear and trust that God’s timing will come at the perfect time. 👌

5. Take Action in Faith; Recognize that FEAR PARALYZES AND FAITH EMPOWERS. When we act in faith- whether by making a difficult decision, stepping outside our comfort zones, or simply choosing to believe that God is with us—we prove that we trust Him. And He always blesses those who move forward in faith.

The Lord has told us on 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.

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. When we turn to Him, He replaces our fear with faith and our stress with serenity and peace. As we let go of our burdens and trust in Him, we will find the rest He has promised.

So today, whatever is weighing on your heart, take it to the Savior. Lay it at His feet. Allow yourself to be empowered by your faith in Christ instead of being paralyzed by fear which is what the enemy wants. Allow yourself to be the PROTECTOR of your mind. Choose thoughts that uplift you and help you. Be kind to yourself and others. FOCUS ON THE GOOD! 😉 on your blessings, on all that you’re blessed to have today. Take a moment to breathe and be present. Most importantly, remember that God loves you, and He will guide you through and be by your side to help you one day at a time.

Trust Him when He says “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

Let go. Trust Him. And find peace.

Unfortunately class is canceled tonight. But still keep your habits of doing something good for your body, mind and spirit. We will resume again next week. 🙂

I pray that this message helps you to gain greater trust in Christ, feel HIS LOVE & know that He has a perfect plan for YOU. 💖

Love, 🌸

Lili

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

Lili 🌸

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,

Lili 🌸
