Thank you, @doterra Thanks for putting together a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 that it allows each of us to run a business within our individual strengths & giftings; for giving us 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 that our business continues to grow, even in a year like 2020; for creating a 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 that we can’t imagine our lives without the amazing individuals of whom we get the honor of partnering with.

I’m talking about having a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 of like-minded sisters; those ladies who 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 no matter what; the women who 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗽 when you’re down; the people you 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝘁𝗼, not because they demand it of you. I am a girl who always struggled with friend groups. This was magnified when I started having babies. I had my oldest when I was 19 & as you can imagine, NONE of my friends were having babies. I was basically on my own, in this new stage of life, while my friends were all off at college, living the life I thought I would have been living.

The topic of nature versus nurture is well-debated. During my psychology classes in college, I came to my own conclusion, as most of you probably agree, that it is a combination of BOTH; that we are the culmination of BOTH the traits and personalities that we were born with, as well as the influences of the environments and authority figures that we have come into contact with throughout our lives. I had the opportunity to speak to our church at the end of 2020 on this topic...
 The weight of motherhood; of entrepreneurship; of marriage; of time. It’s been creeping in with emotions and anxiety, for me. I know I’m not the only one. I’m supporting my brain with the highest quality supplements + best essential oils on the earth. I’m letting myself have the feelings, but I’m not letting the feelings be in charge. I’ve got big things to do and so do you!! It’s time to stop letting it weigh us down. It’s time, instead, to hold the universe on our shoulders like a pair of wings... and soar! 💜
 The Biblical story of Esther has always resonated with me. I mean. I literally named my daughter after this powerful woman in the Bible. 😆 Well. Last week, this shirt came in the mail from @ellyandgrace and my eyes instantly welled up with tears. I had ordered a couple weeks ago, knowing I would love it, but when I saw the words across the front...
“Perhaps you were made for such a time as this” ...it was like God was speaking those words right to my heart, as I stood in my kitchen. That reminder was exactly what I needed as I basically re-launch my business this next week and shoot for a huge, 6-years-coming kinda goal over the next 4 months. 💎 I was made for this. I am brave enough, smart enough, talented enough, and prepared enough. I have everything I need. I will persevere, day after day. I will lay this great feat at 𝘏𝘪𝘴 feet. I will have favor, every step of the way. Everything is coming together. Don’t forget. There are tasks and goals and moments that you were literally MADE FOR. Follow your heart. Listen to Spirit. And let’s do the things that have our names written 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 them. XOXO Kourt  Faith > Fear
It’s the theme I run into often {read: daily} as a mom, wife, entrepreneur, leader, and HUMAN. And right now, you better believe it’s a constant struggle. But I have a choice. Do I choose to 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 my vibration, my immune system, my emotions, and my mental capacity? Because whether we like it or not, THAT IS WHAT 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥 DOES. Or... Do I choose to 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 that vibe, boost that immune system, heal my body and emotions, and kick my brain up a notch just by leaning into 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛? Faith is believing in the unseen; hoping when it feels hopeless; seeing something that no one else can see. “Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you!” I’ll see you that quote (that 9/10 entrepreneurs have on their vision board) and raise you the power of another person believing 𝘞𝘐𝘛𝘏 you. I’ll believe with you. I’ll hope with you. What are you holding onto faith for right now? |

Interests
I love to craft. I love to decorate. I am passionate about natural living & natural birthing. Sometimes I write stuff. I plan parties like my life depended on it. My favorite color is pink. My house is definitely NOT taupe. I typically cannot keep plants alive. I am only allowed to have dogs as pets because all others tend to have the same end result as the plants. Luckily my track record with kids is pretty good! Also, I drink a lot of coffee. And I really like tacos. |
