Taking Breaks for Yourself

Today was a busy day with my little girl. It was too beautiful not to be outside shopping, walking, and playing, which is what we did! By the time we got home, I needed my rest and she needed hers. I find that if I don't take breaks for myself that it won't be beneficial for me or my daughter.

Today's society is all about go, go, go! Sometimes, it's hard to take our own personal breaks but it's important to find that time and commit to resting physically and mentally. If you are finding yourself always stressed and overwhelmed, then it's time to stop and reflect on all that you are doing. Find things that you can take off your plate so that you are not feeling overwhelmed.

God wants us to enjoy today and have peace and joy in all we do. At times, this can be challenging but I find the more I practice appreciating the moment, the easier it gets!

Women's Conference coming soon to DFW!

Hi Everyone,

One of the things I am working on is a women's conference with my church called, "Heart to Heart". It's for women of all ages and children are welcome too! There will be a morning craft that will support a couple of local nonprofits. In addition, we will have a fabulous speaker, Carmen Studer, who is a movie producer for One Heart Film, mother and an advocate for at risk youth. To learn more and register visit: www.whiteschapelumc.org - White's Chapel Methodist Church in Southlake, TX.

On another note, I am working on another possible TV project and I will get back with you soon with more details once I have them!

I hope this New Year is inspiring you as it is myself. It's such a great time to reflect and set new goals!

God Bless,
Dr. Nina

New Year, New Ideas

Hi Everyone,

I love the New Year because it's a great time to reflect on what you've done and what you plan to do next. It can be a really exciting and motivating time for all of us. I am thinking of my next step in my life...what would be exciting for me to do?

This past year has been quite an interesting year for me. What I value most is being a mother to my daughter. I stepped back from some things I had been doing; running a ministry and serving as a vice chair on a nonprofit were the big ones for me to end.

I have been praying and thinking about where I want to go next in my life. What will the title of my next chapter read in my LIFE book? What will the title of your chapter read? Please post your own ideas and dreams in the New Year! I would love to hear them!
