 I am so excited that you are here. My mother was my first teacher. Pulse to my world and mentor. When I was about 5 years old, I was overwhelmed with love and said, “Mom, I don’t know what I would do without you!” She responded in her beautiful voice, “Mija, love Jesus more than me because I will not always be here. God is. If you do this, you will always be taken care of and won’t be alone!" I was so confused and just cried because I didn’t want to imagine a world without her.
When she passed away April 2009, I was 39. My world was broken. I found her journals sitting at her desk. As well as her Bible that had highlighted and underlined bible verses, prayers and her handwriting. It was so beautiful. Sister, do you have any idea how much this empowered me and healed me during this difficult time? I whispered, "I understand now mom, I get it, loving Jesus has taken care of me!" After life's journey of many trials, pain, forgiveness and lessons learned, I felt a tug deep within me to share my life and walk. I needed to write and leave my words for my children. I wanted to help young girls and woman be empowered, grounded, and Joy-Fueled in God's Word. So, they could be inspired to build a strong foundation as they shine with all the beautiful facets that make them who they are. We have so much noise in this world and we need to be rooted so our leaves will always be green! The Grounded & Joy Fueled Planner is created to inspire change. God has a purpose, a plan and a vision for each one of us that only we can fulfill. Yes, lovely one let's do this together! Sacred One, are you ready? They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:8

It's such a beautiful season. A season of warmth, thanks, giving and time for you to slow down. It's hard to slow down I know it is. I work full time, a wife, mother, daughter, aunt, sister, friend etc...you know the list!
I started this blog to share and write things to leave behind for my children. Yes I talk about many things like life, decor, inspiration, love and faith. As I sit and think of all that is in my head this picture that my husband and I took at the beach two weekends ago while my youngest and her friend are enjoying the water comes to my mind.
I see the beautiful sand, the simplicity of life and our bare feet, and thinking to myself I ask? "Why do we make things so complicated?" I have had so many jobs and titles but before I leave this world I will only have one chance at being a mom and wife! These past couple of years my focus has been my family more than ever. My mom always told me to stay grounded in God's Word, to love and to give, and we do! She called the role as wife and mom your first ministry. We need to have balance. We have to focus on our Purpose.
My youngest is in high school and that is the place where all drama has become so real. I tell her to love no matter what, it's hard but sometimes people hurt you, some don't even know they hurt you, or intentionally will hurt you. Still love them because you have to, we need too, and we can't hold it inside of us for we have not been created to hold hate. The circles of people around her or around us will change of course but God's Love and Our Purpose never will! People will bring drama to your door and you have to close it. We need peace not negativity. It's so sad that we see this in adults as well. We all have boundaries and if you see anger or hate thrown at you remember your Purpose and focus on that! There really is so many positive people so draw to them. When you are Loving and Doing Your God Given Purpose that is all that matters ~ be wise. The verse below says Ponder the path of your feet in All of Your Ways.
Meaning of Ponder:
Think about (something) carefully, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.
Let your eyes look directly forward and let your gaze be straight before you, Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Proverbs 4:25-26
Always Remember Your Purpose and Your Focus,
Regina

Why do I decorate? I love having beautiful things around me. I always have but do you need lots of money to have nice things? Of course furniture and large items for our home cost and when we purchase them we must choose with caution. I have a hard time getting a large purchase like our couch or fridge. My husband and I will go several times, and will stay for hours and we will wait until we are both happy with our decision. It's funny I know but I want to make sure I am happy with it.
Let's Talk Colors
This is a personal thing that only you can choose in your home. What colors speak to you? What colors make you happy and feel peaceful? We are all different and have different likes and dislikes. Before getting anything new first have your colors selected.
Style
We have so many styles to select from it's so fun to pick this! Many of us have different styles is ok to mix them? Yes of course! It's your home and your in it everyday enjoy what you love! I love shabby chic, farmhouse, cottage and nautical. I keep things in the same color tones.
Decor and Final Touches
Have fun with this. Just be creative. I gave myself a challenge to only spend $50 a paycheck which is $100 a month to update things in our home. I was so excited and as soon as I said it...Bam I seen so many things I wanted to purchase but I didn't need them. I had to stick with my budget. I was forced to be creative. I actually did these projects below with paint that I already had and furniture that I had in my garage because I wanted to do something with them.
Why Do I Decorate
I love seeing beautiful things! I love to pour into our home to create memories for my family, for my friends and to create a feeling of comfort. I love going to hotels and visiting different places and I want that same feeling daily for my husband, kids and guests to say I can't wait to go home, to visit and have dinner or a BBQ and look forward our time. To be excited and say I love to be home!
