That hard time you’re in – have you ever considered that maybe it’s the mountain you’ve been assigned to tackle!?! “Maybe, you are meant to climb it and prove the strength and determination to yourself and God!” Maybe, you are meant to climb it so you can share with others at the top that it IS possible!

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…

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.…

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. An oyster shell is made to withstand a rough and tumble…

Shine Your Light Amidst the Darkness
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. This is a reminder to me to shine “my” light even when I feel darkness. Darkness will devour me if I am afraid of it. I will accept…
