Month: January 2026

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

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,

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,

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! 💪🏼😊
