Month: September 2025

The scriptures remind us that “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6). In a world full of comparison, conflicts, and constant noise, this is more than just good advice—it’s a lifeline 💛

Contentment is not complacency, and it’s not apathy, it’s not about having less ambition, nor does it mean settling for mediocrity. True contentment comes when our hearts are anchored in God, when our worth is not measured by what we own, how we look, what we accomplish or what others think, but by who we are as beloved children of God.

When we practice godliness with contentment, we rise above the endless cycle of comparison. Instead of looking outward at what others have, do, or not do, we look upward and inward—upward to God’s love, and inward to the peace He has already placed within us.

The Savior taught, “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. (John 14:27). That peace is not found in competition or possession, but in CONNECTION—with God, with our divine nature, and with others in love. ♾️

When we can be content in Christ, when we know who we are as a child of God, when we know in the God that we know and trust. We find that there’s true peace and happiness. We stop relying on competition and instead we increase in our compassion.

We stop judging and instead we start giving more kindness, compassion and love. Our energy stops being “triggered” by comparison and instead we focus on what God has given us and what we can do for Him with what we have. Christ’s invitation is to seek first the kingdom of God, and let all other things fall into their proper place.

So, how can we live this?

• We can shift our focus: Each day, instead of measuring what we lack, make time to breathe and count what you already have through God’s grace.

• Live simply: The Prophet Alma taught that we should “plant the word” of God in our hearts and let it grow (Alma 32). A simple, growing faith creates a deeply rooted connection to our Father in Heaven. The creator and true giver of all that we have. 🌱

• Practice gratitude: Gratitude transforms what we have into enough, and enough into abundance. 🤩 Gratitude is proven to reduce anxiety, stress and to increase happiness. Don’t we all need a little more daily gratitude? 🧡

• Seek eternal perspective: As Paul reminded, “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” (1 Timothy 6:7).

The goal is this: to live so filled with God’s light that we are no longer moved by the shifting winds of the world. To know that whatever we have here is all “borrowed” and temporary. What we end up taking with us is our soul! We truly take nothing with us. That’s why it’s so important to seek to build our Heavenly Mansion. To gain Heavenly treasures and some of the best ways we can reach that is by letting go of our pride, by humbling ourselves, by being grateful and happy with our blessings, trusting God and going out and serving others.

So, let’s work on not allowing the world to persuade us to complain and to be “unhappy”until we get or do this or that….We have to stop believing the lies of the enemy who wants to draw us away from God! from truly strengthening our souls (which is the only thing that we can actually take with us) Instead, our focus should be on making it a point that we strive to be anchored in Christ.

Living in Godly contentment. Which does not make us passive, but if anything it EMPOWERS US. It gives us strength to serve, to love, to uplift, and to walk through life with joy no matter the circumstances.

As the picture in this message shows that sunflower 🌼 I want to remind you that we are each our own type flower 🌺 🌸🌷🌻 created differently in Gods image. We can choose to be the best type of “flower” that we are. To influence in our sphere, to brighten others lives and most importantly to be grateful for the type of flower and beauty that we each get to share. God wants us to GROW WHERE WE ARE PLANTED. 💛🥹 🌷To live in gratitude daily for our blessings. To see all of the good that we have. To count our blessings and from there, be able to lift and help others as well.

So today, Choose godliness. Choose Contentment in the power that Christ provided. Choose to rise above comparison and conflict, and instead walk in peace. For when our hearts rest in God, we find not only contentment—but true and lasting joy.

Tonight in class, we will have a beautiful meditation, focused on contentment and gratitude. Here’s a little mindfulness exercise to help you.

Sit in silence, take a few deep breaths.

Move your attention gently through your life:

• Your breath, your body, your shelter, your loved ones, your faith.

• For each, pause and whisper: “Thank You, Lord.” This is our goal for the week. To practice it daily if we can. 🥰🙏🏼

This shifts the mind from what’s missing to what’s already given. This is a blessing to those of us who can practice it today.

Love you all and hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress and do something amazing for your body, mind and spirit. Hope to see you there.

Love,

The world can feel overwhelming. Each day seems to bring more noise, more heartache, more uncertainty. Sometimes the heaviness around us makes its way inside of us, and we find ourselves weighed down—not just by the world’s troubles, but also by our own problems and the way in which we speak to ourselves. We become our own harshest critics, telling ourselves that we aren’t enough, that we’ll never measure up, or that somehow God’s love is too far away. We let the energy around us bring us down and we allow the heaviness to affect our every day life. 🙁

But the truth is, none of that comes from God. The adversary would love nothing more than to see us forget who we truly are. He wants us to live in misery every day. He wants us to feel heavy, unhappy, and to be critical of ourselves and others. Heavenly Father, on the other hand, always speaks to us with love. He reminds us to protect ourselves from the evil one through prayer. He wants us to know that He LOVES US. He reminds us of our divine identity as His sons and daughters. President Russell M. Nelson has taught, “Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to your individual progression than knowing who you really are and knowing what God is counting on you to become.”

When we remember that we are children of God, the lens through which we see ourselves changes. Instead of focusing on our weaknesses, we begin to see that we are learning, growing, and becoming. We can see that the challenges we face are sometimes the most cleansing and purifying experiences we can have in our lives. We can choose to turn the focus away from the negative to allow God to purify, strengthen us and teach us. Instead of repeating negative messages to ourselves, we can practice speaking words of light! ☀️—reminders that God is patient with us, that He delights in our efforts, and that He sees our eternal potential. That we may become able to fully protect and shield ourselves from the enemy and instead focus on inviting light, love and peace to be with us. So, let’s practice changing the focus of our lives for it to become a blessing and not to be something that hurts us.

Changing Our Focus

Here are a few ways we can shift our focus when the world feels heavy:

1. Speak with kindness to yourself. When you make a mistake or feel discouraged, ask: “What would Heavenly Father say to me right now?” How would my Savior calm my heart right now? He would never shame you—He would encourage you. Replace your inner criticism with His voice of love. ❤️

2. Fill your mind with God’s word. Daily scripture study brings light and power. As we set a little time aside to come to Him in prayer and to read and listen yo His words, we will feel His strength coming into our lives. The Savior taught, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). His promises can become anchors of hope in our thoughts. HE IS OUR ANCHOR. ⚓️ & In Him we can find daily joy. 🙏🏼💛

3. Focus on gratitude and joy. President Nelson reminded us, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” Choosing to notice God’s hand—even in small and simple ways—brings joy into daily living. Can you change your focus right now? Just by expressing gratitude for the blessings that you have today? 😭

4. Remember your purpose. Life is not just about surviving the storms. It’s about becoming more like Christ through them. When we keep an eternal perspective, the trials of life are not wasted—they refine us. The hard challenges we experience are opportunities for us to grow in different areas. These are not “punishments” from God. All of us, even the most faithful in this life have to experience some of the hardest challenges. But we know that in the end, if we endure it well with God by our side, we will see that all of the things we go through will give us experience and be for our good. You never know who you’re meant to bless or help based on the challenges you’ve experienced or will experience. We just have to remember in the living God that will help us through. In protecting the light within us and in remembering that we have a purpose in this life. God has a plan for your life. Trust Him and keep moving forward in His light and divine wisdom for your life. 🤍

Living with Purpose and Joy

Heavenly Father didn’t send us here to be swallowed by fear, shame, or despair. He sent us here to learn to live in joy, to discover His love, and to prepare to return to Him. The Holy Ghost whispers peace and truth, reminding us that God has not abandoned us. He is with us in the quiet moments, strengthening us to keep going.

So when the world feels heavy, lift your thoughts heavenward. Remind yourself of your divine nature. Replace the negative self-talk with God’s truth: You are loved. You have infinite divine worth and you are His child.

As we choose to focus on God, His love, and His plan for us, we find that the weight of the world grows lighter. We begin to live with a better purpose, filled with peace and joy that no amount of chaos can take away. We know in whom we trust and we focus on protecting that light and being a light to others instead. 💛

Our goal for the week is to check our inner thoughts, words and emotions. See them from a distance and ask yourself if those things align with what your loving Father in Heaven would speak to your heart and mind right now. Take a moment to connect to God and just feel His presence. Try to change the focus of your internal lens this week by placing your focus on God and on what He wants you to think about and to go and do. The more we’re able to check in on ourselves and allow God to help us…The more anchored we will feel and gratitude, joy, light and peace will flow into our lives. That’s the indescribable peace of God. ♥️

I invite you to come to class tonight to let go of your stress, to have a moment to think about your connection to your body, mind and spirit. Allow yourself to let go of the heaviness and instead fill yourself with strength for your body, peace for your mind and joy for your spirit. 💕

Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm!

Love,

Lili 🌸

The world around us can feel heavy, uncertain, loud, and chaotic. It’s heartbreaking to watch the news and see all the commotion and division—not only in our country, but throughout the entire world.

We often forget that we live in a beautiful world that God created for us. Our time on this earth is short, and while we are here, our focus should be on leaving it better than we found it. We should strive to live lives that radiate peace, love, faith, compassion, and light—adding goodness to the lives of those around us and leaving the world a little bit better because we were here. 💛

When our hearts feel heavy, we have the choice of filling it with more of the voices of the world, or to come to God. This morning, I chose to make time to be alone with God. As I prayed while I asked God to bring comfort to my heavy heart. I sat outside and found myself drawn to the trees, the water, the sun, the birds, and the sky. I asked God to give me the peace my soul needed. And I felt His words come into my heart saying:

“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.” (John 14:27)

Instantly, tears came to my eyes. I thanked God for reminding me that my peace will not come from the world—it will come from HIM. ♥️ He reminded me not to let my heart be troubled or afraid, but to remember His promise:

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

In times like these, peace may feel hard to find. But that is when we must come to Christ, making time to be still and alone with Him, so we can truly experience the peace that only God can give directly to our souls. Today, I was reminded again to turn off the voices of the world and to listen to God’s voice instead. 🥹

So, if you are feeling like me today, I invite you to quiet the noise of the world and focus on listening to God. His words and the personal communication you have with Him will heal you far more deeply than anything else.

The scriptures teach us that in the last days, “men’s hearts shall fail them,” and that “all things shall be in commotion,” and fear will come upon all of us. But we can be prepared if we protect our minds, hearts, and souls by filling them with God’s word, keeping His commandments, seeking forgiveness, and turning our actions toward what He would have us do. ❤️ As children of God, we are all called to be loving, kind, and to be true peacemakers. 🌎 When we live this way, we carry the light of God to others and that peace that surpasses all understanding in our hearts will be felt by those around us. 💛

I hope you can experience this peace for yourself. The problems may not be taken away. The world may continue to be in commotion :(…But I promise that as you quiet your heart and mind, God will provide you with the same peace He has given me today. The peace that surpasses anything the world can offer! I am so grateful for the reminder of His love—for me and for all of us as His children. 💖 God wants us to radiate love and peace toward others, not use our precious time on this earth creating contention etc. Instead we want to create in our hearts and souls a resting place for His peace to dwell. To dwell within us, to dwell in our homes and in any place where we may be.

Let us protect the peace that our Creator gives us—not the fragile peace the world offers, but the eternal peace that comes only through knowing that we have God’s presence in our lives. 🤍

❤️ This week, our goal is to turn off the voices of the world and focus on listening to God’s voice.

So, take a moment to let Christ comfort your heavy heart. Let Him be the voice you listen to today. Let Him speak peace to your heart and mind. His Spirit may whisper softly, it’s not a loud voice but it will pierce your heart and guide you. Let Him tell you what you need to hear. Let Him forgive your mistakes and heal the places in your heart where love has been lacking.

Allow Him to bless you with strength and to be with you in your inner oasis. 💛 Let His love, His peace, and His blessings renew you.

Remember—God wants you present in this very moment, grateful for the breath that you have today. Ask Him to help you focus on the beauty of His creations, to strengthen your relationships, and to fill your heart, mind, and soul with peace, health, strength, and love. 💛 In return, you will be able to lift and bring light to others as well. 💞

I pray that your heart will be comforted today, as mine was. I pray that you will hear God’s words as He promises you His peace. Focus on the good, on your blessings, on how you can bless others and on guarding your inner peace through Christ as you strive to be the peacemaker He needs us to be. God knows what is in your heart, and He will help you as you come to Him. Take it one moment at a time. Find peace in this moment, right here and now. and continue to invite peace and to flow in it from one moment to the next. 💛

Tonight in class, we will release stress and strengthen ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our meditation will be focused on inner peace. Can’t wait to do this for ourselves. I hope you’ll join us and feel the difference. See you at 7pm! 💖🥰

With love,

This week I have felt impressed to think about wisdom. Every time I opened my scriptures this week, I read about wisdom. I love those moments when God speaks to us through His words and it feels like it’s exactly what we’re meant to hear.

As I thought about wisdom this week, I realized how easily influenced we are by the world around us. The world is constantly shouting and throwing its opinions at us. The “wisdom” of the world isn’t always the wisdom that comes from God. We become consumed by what we watch, read, and listen to. But is there always wisdom in that? Sadly, we tend to think that wisdom can only come from knowledgeable people, and we forget that we ourselves are fully capable of recognizing and receiving wisdom. The wisdom that God wants to provide is meant for each step of our lives.

The question is: are we willing to disconnect from our phones and distractions, and be willing to just stop, listen, and seek higher wisdom for our lives? Are we willing to hear what God has for us—and most importantly, are we willing to act on the impressions and inspiration we receive?

How amazing that we have a God who is willing to listen to us, to be our friend, and who is ready to help us. God truly wants each one of us to seek His wisdom and not the wisdom of the world. Think about how incredible it would feel to hear and feel God directly guiding YOU! ❤️

In Proverbs 4:1 He tells us: “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.”

In Proverbs 2:1–11 He tells us:

1 My son (or daughter), if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

God wants us to remember how important it is to gain wisdom and understanding for ourselves! He wants to provide and fill us with understanding during our challenges and difficulties, and to help us gain wisdom one step at a time.

As you think about your life today, take a moment to ponder where you’re “stepping.” Do you feel like you’re headed in the right direction? Do you need more light on your path? More wisdom? 🤍

Trust that God is ready to give you the wisdom you need. In James 1:5 He tells us: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

When we come to God and ask in faith, believing in Him, we will see that He does provide wisdom directly to us. We don’t need technology or the world to tell us what to do when our hearts can feel directly from God what is wise. Through wisdom we gain understanding, and through understanding we create the action necessary to go and do what God is telling us. ❤️

Our invitation for today is to seek wisdom directly from God. Set aside some time to go outside and be in nature for a moment. Breathe and be present. Turn the world off and turn your heart, mind, and soul to God in prayer and faith, asking Him to provide you with the wisdom you need for today or for your next step. Then just listen to the feelings of your heart. That peace and that love you’ll feel will come directly from Him. He will speak to your soul, and you’ll gain your own wisdom directly from God! How amazing is that?!?! Nothing in the world can bring more happiness than knowing there’s a God who LOVES YOU, IS LISTENING, and IS WILLING TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED. 💛

Hope you can make it to class tonight at 7:00pm to come together, release stress, strengthen ourselves, and have an amazing meditation focused on receiving wisdom. 🥰

Let’s do this! Love you all and hope to see you there!

Love,

Lili 🌸
