10 Positive Affirmations for you starting back to

10 Positive Affirmations for you starting back to school. These affirmations are powerful for you even if you’re not currently in school 🏫.

There is so much power in the words “I am.”

Say these at least 3X’s a day and watch what happens...

Print them out if you can and hang them on your mirror, in your locker, on your fridge; wherever you’ll see them.

Let’s talk about the power of The Book of Mormon

Let’s talk about the power of The Book of Mormon 📖 for a minute.

Every single time you open it up, it has something new to teach you! A new message JUST FOR YOU!

This is one of the greatest tools God uses to speak directly to YOU!!!

Have you ever wondered who Christ is or what his life mission has to do with you personally? Or what the atonement means to you? The way to truly come unto Christ, to learn of Him, His words, and His way is IN the Book of Mormon!

Turn to it! Open it up! Seek it! Feast upon the words and they will start to make sense to you!!!

My personal tip for you is to go buy one of those cheap copies, carry it with you EVERYWHERE! Have a pen that stays with it. And open it up every chance you get throughout the day writing any principles it teaches you or any thoughts that come to your mind while reading it!

The power that will flow through you will be astonishing!!!

To the girl that’s been faced with a shame attac

To the girl that’s been faced with a shame attack before... that should be just about everyone of us.

You always hear about shame vs. guilt, but I believe the real opposite is love. Love is what motivates us to draw nearer to God and reminds us that we have value and do belong.

Shame makes us feel we are worthless, but Christ reminds us just how much we are loved and how much worth we have.

When you go into shame, quickly say aloud that these feelings are coming from Satan and it will empower you through the attack. Use this chart to know when shame is coming up for you so you can call it out!

Ready for another dating story from the life of As

Ready for another dating story from the life of Ashley?

I share these stories in hopes that they are relatable and comforting and hopeful to anyone that needs to hear them.

Let’s start this story with the ending first. (Perhaps you’re one that likes to start with the last page just to make sure it ends happily ever after...)

Well it does! This is my hubby and I’m so grateful it didn’t work out with all the other guys, because they wouldn’t be willing to have as much fun as McKay & I do together!

So... once upon a time there was this guy who started pursuing me so I really started to think this was going to go somewhere. After a few days and a kiss... I thought we could have a DTR (determine the relationship). He agreed and said “let’s make it official!”

I was SO excited! It felt right and I was excited to see what might become of it. We were two very spiritually strong people and I felt our lives would be perfect together as it seemed we could create a very good life together.

Well, that next morning I woke up to text that said “God told me that we can’t be together.” I was devastated! I had so many questions...

- Why would God tell him & not me?
- Why would God intervene in dating if we were both good people?
- Was I not good enough for Him?
- Was this just a timing thing that would eventually work out?

I seriously didn’t understand! What made it even more confusing was he still liked me and wrote the most amazing love notes ever! He saw good in me. He believed in me. And yet we couldn’t be together... what???

He played a “God said I can date you now” to off again over the next year. Talk about a long and heavy year. I allowed him to string me along because it just felt so magical and I believed I would never get anyone better.

Oh my goodness, hindsight is 20/20. If I could go back and do things differently, I would. SO MANY THINGS! I let him have my heart and my power.... I gave it away! I should have taken it back by saying no more. But I allowed others seeing me as good enough to date control my self-esteem.

I met my husband in the middle of that mess and that was God’s greatest tender mercy to me. Trust God! He will make up for your loss!!!

All those WHAT IF questions in your mind are power

All those WHAT IF questions in your mind are powerful. Take the negative what if questions spinning and flip them to a positive one.

When you give your faith to God, allow your heart to feel hope, and give power to your mind to create the results you desire; the most incredible things begin to happen.

Any question that comes your way that makes you feel depressed, anxious, or worthless is coming from the adversary. Throw those questions back to him and then flip the question and allow Christ’s peace to pierce your heart ♥️.

I am the biggest fan of sisterhood! There is so m

I am the biggest fan of sisterhood!

There is so much comparison, competition, jealously, and drama between girls in this world and it’s all part of the adversary’s plan.

He’s the enemy!! Not you & not her!

Sisterhood is essential in God’s plan! To be a sister in Zion is one of the most remarkable things you can be apart of in this life.

Unity is what we are craving more of!

What if we offered more love, more forgiveness, celebrated more of our commonalities than our differences?

What could we do together by standing as one against the ONLY enemy?

Can you imagine?!!!

My Strengthening Sisterhood course is SO close to being done and you will LOVE it!!!

We’re meant to serve together, not a part. We were born to do great things as part of the greatest sisterhood that could ever be imagined!!!

What do you love about sisterhood? ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Raise your hand 🖐 if you’ve had any of these

Raise your hand 🖐 if you’ve had any of these thoughts in the last week?

- I really wish I had her hair.

- If only I was as popular as her.

- Her family is just so perfect, so not fair!

- I just wish I had one of her gifts or talents

- How embarrassing that I’m always the awkward one with nothing witty to say... if only.

- Why didn’t Heavenly Father bless me enough to look more like her?

STOP 🛑

The purpose of this activity isn’t to make you desire these things, but to make you realize that some of your thoughts aren’t yours. They are Satan’s!!!

Why would the real, true, authentic you be tearing yourself down?

She wouldn’t!!!

She would know that YOU are worth celebrating 🎉🎉🎉

God made you YOU for a purpose!!!

That purpose wasn’t to punish you. It wasn’t to torture you. It wasn’t to make you feel miserable.

The only purpose He had in creating you to be YOU -> your personality, features, limits, and gifts is because He knew what you could do with it.

He has a very special purpose for YOU!!!

Could @bethanyhamilton fulfill her unique mission had she not lost her arm? Honestly, prob not! She is her for a reason and it is Divine & beautiful and inspires me every single day!!!

So stop trying to compare yourself to the next girl! Stop trying to have her life, her looks, her talents, her everything!

Because then the world misses out on YOU, and you’re a bigger part of this puzzle piece than you realize!

YOU HAVE A MISSION ONLY YOU CAN FULFILL!!!

So go get it!
There is power in ONE!
There is power in YOU!!!

God has asked me to be vulnerable with you today.

God has asked me to be vulnerable with you today. So here it goes...

I don’t know if you can tell from this first picture of my brother and I in a hike, but I have a really bad rash on my neck. Scroll and you’ll see what I mean.

This rash appeared in the summer of 2019 out of nowhere, except it wasn’t just out of nowhere. I was going through some severally heavy things during this time.

People around me told me it was shingles, but I knew better. I know how the body works. Our body is a map of our inner thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Everything we experience physically is caused by our emotions. It’s truly a beautiful design! (Read: Feelings Buried Alice Never Die for more on this)

This rash made me feel ugly and insecure. I was so upset that it had come on during a time where I was already questioning my worth, my value, and my beauty and then ta-da something that actually makes me feel more insecure. Can you say hello to my body reflecting my emotions?!

This rash lasted from July to October, that’s 4 months of panic if me not knowing if this would ever go away.

But, let me let you in on a little secret!

YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY!

YOUR WORTH DOESN’T COME FROM YOUR BODY!

Thoughts about your body not being good enough, skinny enough, flawless enough, beautiful enough are lies! Lies from Satan! Even if a guy turns you down for one of these things, it’s still a lie. It just means the guy is buying into Satan’s crap as well.

I came closer to God during this time. I had to! I felt alone and not enough for the world! God was my refuge to turn to and that’s when I really gained stronger testimony of the truth.

Now... I’m currently going through something similar. I have been since November and haven’t been able to wear much makeup since December. I’ll share more of that story later this week if you’re interested.

But I had to make it clear that your body is a vehicle for your spirit. That’s it’s only purpose!!! No matter what you look like, YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!

As our hearts 💕 truly love God, our hearts expa

As our hearts 💕 truly love God, our hearts expand and our capacity to love others, to love ourselves, and to love our lives grow.

God is the catalyst to love. He is the Ultimate creator of it. Just what if God asks you to love Him as a commandment not out of authority, but out of a gift to you?

He knows that if you show your love to Him, you’ll pray more, read your scripture more, serve more, and do all those things that bring righteous blessings.

He knew that loving Him would expand your heart to have better self-esteem and more joy in life because you find love, give love, and feel love everywhere you go!

And isn’t Christ that can teach us how to love Him? Come into Him, it’s the secret to EVERYTHING!

How will you show God you love Him today?

Speaking to groups of girls is my love & my passio

Speaking to groups of girls is my love & my passion.

A story I often share when speaking is the the time when I competed in 9 different pageants and didn’t win one.

This used to be such a hard thing to admit because to the rest of the world it looks like I failed. I tried & tried and never reached my goal.

But really, it’s allowed me to see how God works on my life. He opened my heart to trusting that He could use me WITHOUT a crown 👑 on my head. And He does that time & time again.

I always think I know where I’m going and my way is better and He proves me time & time again. My desires are valid and He uses them, but sometimes He uses them to open doors I didn’t know I wanted it needed open. His way is ALWAYS better.

As daughters of God, we are sisters and we need on

As daughters of God, we are sisters and we need one another!! When we see each other as equal value and increase our own self-esteem by owning our true individual worth, we can then love & bless others without fear of loss or scarcity.

This is the true cycle to unity.

As we choose to practice an abundance mindset, we know that when we give, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There’s enough love, ideas, business, friendship, happiness, and opportunities to go around!

Reading scriptures everyday is vital for our faith

Reading scriptures everyday is vital for our faith to grow.

I’ll never forget when I was new in the singles ward. I was in the bishops office and he asked if I was reading my scriptures daily.

I told him I was struggling so hard to understand them. The way they were written was just too complicated for me so I wasn’t reading as often as I should.

He encouraged me to go home and read every single day without fail and it would get easier.

I took his challenge and within less than a year, I was called to a position in my ward where I was teaching others from the scriptures.

Am I perfect at understanding them? Not even a little bit! But I most certainly fell in love with them so much deeper making them resonate in my heart more and allowing the Spirit to teach me through them more.

If I could tell girls anything about the scriptures, it would be this... READ THEM! Give 5 minutes every single day without fail to the scriptures and you will be made a completely different person with much higher self-esteem.

Every girl has FIVE minutes. Perhaps you need to sacrifice something to get that in at times, but your sacrifice will be worth it!

These are 7 truths that resonate for me & my life.

These are 7 truths that resonate for me & my life. It’s okay if these statements don’t resonate for you.

How will you know? If something is true for you, it brings you peace! Trust in the peace!

These truths have been taught to me in many different stages of my life and I’ve held onto them and cling to them during the good times & the hard times.

You get to pick your own truths or steal some of mine. If you have different ones, share them in the comments, they may bless someone else!

When I was in high school I was just about the shy

When I was in high school I was just about the shyest girl you had ever met.

I worried about what everyone thought of me. I was never brave enough to do the things I actually desired to do. And I sometimes ended up eating lunch alone because I didn’t have that many close friends and was too shy to make more.

A mentor would have changed everything for me. I was the oldest in my family so I had no one to talk to about all the things. My mom was struggling immensely with depression and I craved being seen. No one to go to for advice. No tips. No one to cheer me on or encourage me to be my best.

A mentor would have meant a completely different outcome of my self-esteem and outcome in going for my goals.

Do you need a mentor? Reach out! I’m happy to chat with you via DM. But I’d love to do a video chat or a monthly package to truly help you reach your full potential.

We all compare, don’t we? It seems to be a nat

We all compare, don’t we?

It seems to be a natural human tendency that at the end of the day can have us believing the biggest lie that we don’t matter because someone else can do it better.

This is NEVER the case! The world needs YOU, because you girl are irreplaceable!!!

The human race is like a giant puzzle, and you are a piece! Have you ever lost a puzzle 🧩 piece? So annoying, right? You don’t get the full effect or feeling of accomplishment without that one piece.

There are words that only you can say. You say them in a way that is unique and resonates with the tribe you are here to influence.

Your smile touches the perfect souls! It makes this world a brighter better place.

No one can love like you can love. Your heart is uniquely yours and it’s meant for you to open it, receive messages, and then spread love 💕 everywhere you go.

Trust that you are perfectly you for a reason! You’re needed and the world would be lost without you!

The other day I caught myself saying to my hubby “Tell me why you love me.” He named a few of my positive traits and then we moved on, but it got me thinking deep about something I’ve known, but had new layers of it to learn.

Are we only loveable for our strengths or perfections? If someone doesn’t have many or they aren’t things that can be named, should they be a less easy person to be loved?

The answer? NO! How do I know this? Because I look to Christ for all truth & knowledge. Does His love change from person to person depending on their strengths? Of course not! So should ours? NO!!!

I’m a huge believer that some of us have weakness by choice. I believe in the premortal world we got to pick a lot of the experiences we would have down here on earth. They help us learn, grow, and live life in a profound way! The weaknesses we have are so very tied & connected to those of others. What we see in others is in us too.

Therefore, whether or not my husband is able to name my weaknesses as reasons why he loves me, doesn’t make me less lovable or less valuable. It simply means he’s still coming to peace with his own weaknesses. But in the meantime I can own mine and know that I’m worthy of every drop of love that could be offered.

1. know you’re worth loving
2. Choose to believe it
3. Say aloud “I am worthy of love! I am loved.”
4. Feel loved all the time whether people have nice things to say about you or not.
5. Experience happiness not dependent on others all the days long!

Here are 5 thoughts to empower you this Valentine’s Day!!!

1 - You are 100% loveable always - Nothing you do it don’t do makes you any less loveable. You are worthy of being loved simply because you’re human and have intrinsic value.

2 - No one can make you feel a certain way - Sometimes we look to our spouse, a boyfriend, or a friend to make us feel loved, important, valued. But if you feel one of those, they are coming from the thoughts you are having about the experience and nothing they said or did.

3 - Your worth doesn’t come from your relationship status - you aren’t better than it less than for having a significant other in your life. Being married proves nothing! You’re enough simply by being you!

4 - The singleness season is a gift - This season in your life is an opportunity to bring you to your knees, allow you to dance with God, and to learn to trust Him with your whole heart.

5 - Love can only come from within - We look to others to make us feel loved but that feeling of love comes from our very own thoughts and beliefs. God is constantly giving love to everyone, but not everyone feels it. If we believe what someone is doing is loving, we feel loved!

I have felt both extremely loved by my Heavenly Fa

I have felt both extremely loved by my Heavenly Father where nothing in the world could pop my bubble of joy that came with it. And I have also felt forgotten, abandoned, and cut off from the love of God.

Were both of these experiences on Him? No! They weren’t. They were on me and the space my heart was in.

Love isn’t something other people give to us. It’s an emotion we feel based on the space we are in.

Through the times I’ve felt the love pour in and the times it felt as if the Heavens were shut and God was ignoring my pleas, He was actually shining His love to my heart.

Our hearts being open or closed is the real determining factor. Do you believe God loves you? Do you use your thoughts to reflect on His love & abundant blessings often? This is one powerful way to allow your heart to open big that you may feel His love abundantly pouring upon you!!!

That is one huge secret to joy!
