Shine Your Light
The sun is a shining force to guide us and light the way. But the moon and the stars, although subtle, also light the way. Stars cannot shine without darkness. In order for a light to shine bright, darkness must also be present. A certain darkness is needed to see the stars. I will love the light for it shows me the way, but I will also endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. The thing dreams are made of.

Clarity in Reflection
If you have been around for any period of time, you know that I am a person who spends a lot of time reflecting. Reflecting is what helps us have clarity when we have a cloud of fog around us. And let’s face it, we have that cloud around a lot in today’s world. Running a business, being a mom and a wife, trying to be a good friend, and all the other duties that life calls of me, it is hard sometimes to sit and reflect. Then there are days we may “try” to sit and reflect and we come up with nothing….. When I am needing some help…

Your One Little Word and How to Apply It To Life

What’s My Definition – Five Ways to Find Yours!
At some point in everyone’s life, we all ask the question – what’s my definition? Life circumstances “shape” who we are but they don’t necessarily “define” who we are. SHAPE means to influence the development of something or to help something become what it is. DEFINE means to state the “precise” meaning of. Clear as mud, right?!? Think of it this way… It’s time for your loved ones to plan your funeral. You’re gone. There will be many stories about the life that shaped who you were. Those stories are simply that – they shaped who you were as a person. What defines you (your definition) is something so much…

Success Versus CRAP Identity?
In order to achieve success you have to believe that you are capable of achieving it. What is success versus crap identity? Many of us have a lot of CRAP that we tell ourselves. That we aren’t smart enough or good enough. We have limiting beliefs inside of us that hold us back from the true successes that are within our reach. Another CRAP thought is “I’m stuck!”. It’s those limiting beliefs that keep us from moving forward. You become frustrated and have difficult times because of these limiting beliefs. That CRAP is what is keeping you from succeeding. Simply put, you are letting that CRAP be your identity! If…

I Hope You Fail – How It Will Make You A Better Person
I hope you fail! I really do! When someone says “failure” usually the words that come to mind are sadness, fear, making a fool of myself, desperation, panic, shame, and heartbreak. But here’s what else you need to know about that word! Helping, generous, openness, knowledge, bravery and courageous are all built from failure. To pretend that we can get to the latter emotions without feelings the pains of failure is a dangerous and misguided assumption. Your failure is guiding you to greater things. It is preparing you for interactions with others in which you will be viewed as the brave one and the generous one. You ever have those…

Holding Others As We Are Held
Babies are born with a preciousness that is beyond explanation. The term precious means “honorable” and “of great worth not to be wasted or treated carelessly”. We hold every newborn with a sense of preciousness. Even in holding them, we are extra cautious.. They are innocent from the sins of the world and bring a sense of great worth when they come into being. Then we grow up. As a toddler we commit sins in a selfish nature when we don’t want to share a certain doll or toy truck. Simple, but nonetheless, a selfish sin. As we grow older we may commit other, greater sins. Maybe as a teenager…

Finding the Beauty in Your Struggle
The caterpillar and the butterfly is the epitome of beauty grounded in struggle. The process of morphing from a caterpillar into a butterfly is actually a very painful process. It’s hard to see when we are in the middle of the struggle, but when you arrive on the other side, 99% of the time, you begin to see where the beauty was hidden or when it emerged. Even in death there is more waiting to be seen. For almost everything, the beauty of the struggle is there waiting to be seen. It’s no secret that I suffer from depression. Some say it’s due to circumstances surrounding me and others say…

Success at Work VS Success at Home
Business’s grow a lot faster than people do! With the rise of social media, businesses can sky rocket through the roof and if you aren’t personally keeping up then you’ll get left behind. This year, The Ruffled Daisy celebrated 8 years of being in business! It’s been an amazing 8 years but it’s also been a challenging 8 years. Running a business on your own (with just the hubby’s help) is a lot of work. Some days were spent not giving enough to my husband and kids because the business needed me. Some days were spent stressed and frazzled because I didn’t have enough hands or hours in the day.…

It’s an Ugly Beast!!
I’ve tried for several years to make a name for me. Something that made me feel accepted. Something that was mine. Something that I needed others’ approval to succeed in. But it failed. It’s ok. Because in the long run, it doesn’t matter what you give and share to others; if you are doing for the glory of kudos, then you will end up empty. You have to be doing it from your heart. Don’t get me wrong…all of my creations and writings are from my heart, but the disconnect comes from when you are wanting to feel the acceptance from others and not always getting it. Depression talks to…

Pearls of Wisdom – Jennifer Wiltse
It is one of my heart’s desires to encourage women to be all that they can be. Life is tough and many times, we make it harder on ourselves than we need to. We are made to be amazing beings! And while we ARE amazing – we are far from perfect. Life is all about embracing our imperfections and making them beautiful. Those beautiful imperfections are what defines you. It is in those imperfections that we are called to share and create beauty with others. Just like a smooth marble has beauty, so does a rough and callused oyster shell.

Your Fire Will Free You
Anger is a powerful force. It is both beautiful and destructive. It has the power to change yourself and the world. Anger is what brought her here again. The place that she has been frequenting far too often. Her anger doesn’t change who she is to please someone else. She’s done with that. She no longer let her tears dampen her cheeks and fall to the ground. Her tear puddles were dry. It took a lot of pain to be here and pain may be what keeps her here. Her anger is beautiful in a sense that she is taking control of her life – and yet destructive in that…

Her Tree of Life
She is born from a fragile seed. Planted and nourished to grow into amazingness. The seed begins to sprout and emerge from the ground showing signs of life. It faces the sun with each day and hunkers down in the darkness. Through the years of growing and maturing, she grows stronger and taller not knowing what storms and showers will come her way. As each season passes, she embraces the changes that each brings. In spring, her soul is on fire and she is being reborn into the creature that God created. She is pursuing her dreams and running after all the newness that life brings. She is blooming and…

You Are Enough Right Where You Are
I feel deeply I didn’t used to. It took years of pain and suffering to grasp every emotion that I suppressed and in the end tried to work through and embrace. While awareness of the pain of others in the world can be a valuable way to keep our own struggles in perspective, it is not a legitimate reason to disregard our own pain. Fully experiencing our own hurt is the gateway to compassion toward other human beings. Accepting our emotions and allowing ourselves to feel them connects us to all human beings. Then, when we hear the stories of other people’s suffering, our hearts can resonate with understanding and…

Have Courage To Follow Your Own Path
We don’t always know what our path is. Paths take sharp turns sometimes and other times they are gentle. Sometimes there are steep hills to climb and other times there may be downed trees to move so you can clear the way for you to continue. At the end of the path is God. Waiting for you, to tell you “job well done”. You’re gonna fall. You’re gonna skin your knee and there are times you may break some bones. You start on this path by yourself and you pick you people along the way go help you navigate it. Some of those people take a turn that you aren’t…

Although I Stumble, I Am Still Standing
Your feet guide you into certainty and uncertainty. These are the feet that have trekked a life of happiness and pain. These are the feet that wearily walked into a hospital 4 times and birthed children that made me a mom. These are the feet that danced as a child and floated on air. These are the feet that walked a cemetery to bury a child. These are the feet that walked through life without a father that loved her as a father should. These are the feet that have walked away from relationships that have hurt me and that have stood their ground fighting for relationships I wanted to…

Middle of Nowhere or Center of Everything?
Middle of nowhere or center of everything? Middle of nowhere – the place of no contact with anyone or anything. Lost and distant from the connection in the world around you. Nothing that you know or anything that brings you comfort is around. The place where you feel fear and anxiety. Focus is on what you lack in the world. Center of everything – the place of centeredness and centering your soul. Connecting with the world even if no one is around. The vast openness brings you comfort in knowing there are things greater than you. A place to become grounded in who you are. A place where you feel…

You know those goals and dreams you have? You have to dig for them! The hard ones and the most rewarding ones don’t come easy. You gotta dig hard every single day to make a small step towards big dreams! Goals and dreams can change through time but even when they change, the digging that you’ve done in the past creates growth. While you’re digging you may come across some junk that you need to throw to the side. It’s there to be just that…junk. It’s there to distract you from digging. Think of it like digging for gemstones. You’re gonna come across some that are pretty but don’t amount to…

Perfection is the DEVIL
Why would anyone want to be less than perfect? That would make life easy, right! It seems like the easy road – but it’s that harsh inner voice telling us to be perfect that destroys us and keeps us from following the amazing path before us. Striving and driving yourself to perfection actually destroys you. It has at times stopped me from making art, kept me from intimacy, and kept me from building relationships. I didn’t want to show up unless I was perfect and it stopped me from doing so many things. I turned down a lot of opportunities to ensure that no one found out how imperfect I was. People say…

Kind Words Lead To Kind Thoughts
You can speak a million kind words to other people, but the ones that mean the most are the ones you speak to yourself. Those are the echoes you need to hear. This piece is hung as a daily reminder to me. Letting the ego and the devil speak words to you won’t lead you or guide you to greater things. They both speak with selfish motives. Let the kind words of your heart speak and listen to those echoes. Let them overpower those of the ego. If you don’t speak kind words to yourself, you will have no kind words to give anyone else. If you are telling yourself…

Who’s Doing Your Dirty Laundry
We have all been there – the mountain of laundry that seems to pile up no matter how often we attack it. You may wait until one day a week to tackle this feat while others, like me, attempt to do a load or two a day in order to keep it under wraps. Let me tell you, neither way works. There always seems to be more that needs to be done. LAUNDRY NEVER ENDS! But what about our other “dirty laundry”? You know the kind that we ALL carry that the world would refer to as shame. Things that have happened to us in the past, been inflicted upon…

Word Of The Year – COURAGE!
Courage is a desirable quality to have and a way of life that most want to embody. But the actual act of having courage is a challenge. It means being willing to face fear and embrace uncertainty; and let's face it, life is FULL of uncertainties. Most people wait for courage to fall into their lap when circumstances are "right" to face whatever challenges are ahead of them. Not knowing what is on the other side is scary. Most people wait for the universe to give them a sign letting them know - you can be certain now! Have courage! But the universe isn't going to give that to you.

Are You Enjoying Life Or Letting It Pass You By?
What is ingrained in us that makes us have such a desire to do something different and rarely follow through with it? We have such a desire to do what society thinks we should yet we lose focus on what God wants us to do. Do you have a clear picture of how your days should be spent and is it line with what God wants for you? Granted, we don’t know what the path we will follow will look like BUT we can choose to make the path a scenic one along the way. During this holiday season, I resolve to document SOMETHING about every day. It could be a silly comment from my…
