This is a GREAT Article! It’s worth reading if you are really looking to reconnect with your spouse.
Enjoy!

Intimacy means closeness on the inside, not just on the outside. If you're going to have true closeness in your marriage, you have to be able to know each other and have unhindered access without fear...

Here’s how you’ll know you TRAINED the INSTAGRAM algorithm…

⚡️your discovery page will be NOTHING but competitors in your niche

That is the single most indicative way to tell that you’ve properly trained the algorithm.

Let me be clear because I think a lot of people are causing confusion — this is NOT your niche… this is people who have the SAME niche as you.

If your discovery page is a mix of things you personally love — home decor accounts, amazon finds, mom hacks, toddler meals, and recipes — you have trained the algorithm to show YOU what you like

So here’s the first steps to fixing this ⬇️
• clear your search history
• re-search things your niche would be “googling” (not research — RE-search 😂)
• save posts from people who have the SAME niche as you
• get a burner account ASAP to do your shopping 🫶🏻

🎉training the algorithm is great — but you want to be sure your account is optimized so that when your niche sees your content — they actually want to follow you!

**** Good Morning/Afternoon, my Leveling Up Fam! ****
I just found the document I promised to share two weeks ago, so I thought I would post it now. This truly made a difference in my Instagram account. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. See you all tonight at 8 PM. ( I did copy this from someone else's page.)

Reflecting on the journey of parenthood, there are moments when we all wish we could rewind, erase mistakes, and savor the sweetness of our kids' little fingers wrapped around ours. The nostalgia hits, and we long to relive the laughter, the feel of them sleeping on our chest, and their adorable baby giggles.👶

In those moments, I choose to forgive myself for any missteps, recognizing that I did the best I could with the knowledge I had. I ask God to mop up any mistakes I left in our son's life and fill in the gaps where I should have said something but was silent. 🙏 My husband and I prayed from before he was born til this evening before bed for our big guy. He's now the tallest person in our family. We both made sacrifices and strove to be the parents our son needed.

Amidst the challenges, I remind myself that this parenting season holds beauty and joy, even while my heart breaks. 💔 As our son will never reside in our home again. I resist the temptation to dwell on the past or wish for an easier journey. These are unique moments, and I refuse to miss the beauty of the PRESENT. 🎁

Looking at my adult kid, I can't help but smile. These days are precious, and I feel blessed to be his mom. ❤️ 🥹

📆 Empty Nesters, 2024, is eight days away. We've talked about goals and what you want to do. However, now I want to encourage you. Between now and December 30th, ✍️write down everything you want to accomplish between January 1st and March 31st of 2024, then break that down into baby steps. If you want to lose 15 lbs., that's 5 lbs. each month. That's 0.16 lb. a day.

If you want to earn an extra $1,000 in a side hustle to help with expenses or to take a vacation. That's $333.33 per month or $11.11 per day.

How about if it's self-improvement. You want to start reading 📖 10 pages daily or going to the gym 3 days a week. Whatever it is, please write it down. A goal NOT written down is just a wish.

❤️
Ok, empty nesters, we have got this. 2024 will be the year of change, the year of growth, the year we evolve into our new roles. No one has taken our 'jobs' away from being 365/24/7 Moms and Dads. It's just in our previous role we were on the clock, around the clock. 🕰 Now, we have been promoted, and we are 'on-call' around the clock. 💖😇💖

Hey, All You Empty-Nesters, I know you have a lot on your plates and a lot on your minds right now. However, once our kids are back at college, what are your plans for 2024? If you have yet to think about it, you should start now. Start making your own personal goals for your relationships and personal achievements, joining clubs and gyms, or starting your own business. Whatever it may be, start writing down your goals and putting a plan in place so you will know where to begin when the kiddos say 'goodbye.'

A Mother’s Job Is To Teach Her Children Not To Need Her Anymore.
The Hardest Part Of That Job Is Accepting Success.

As an empty-nester, this hits the heart hard! ❤️ 💔 I tend to believe the child leaving home is harder on the mother than the father, simply because we gave birth to them. I might get some opposition here, but not much. Can I get a 'THAT'S RIGHT' from the momma's!! I know that letting them go is hard on both parents. 😢

🤝 Little-known ways to help yourself. Help others!

🤝 You do not have to search very far to find someone to help this time of year.

I don't say this often, but maybe I should. After my accident, when we were trying to survive on 60% of my income and 100% of our bills, plus new medical bills that were coming in also. I was the main breadwinner in our home. Our church provided the money to buy our son all of his Christmas gifts for two years straight. One year, another church provided our Christmas meal. 🍽️

The number 1 reason we have listed for starting this online business is so we can help other people and give financially to others. I could sit here and tell you story after story of how God has placed people in our lives at the right time to bless us abundantly, and it would blow your socks off. We want to be that person to others. 🧦

I encourage you to look for opportunities to do random acts of kindness for the rest of December. Be a Blessing to someone. 🎁 Anonymously, if possible, those are the BEST kind. Straight from the heart with no strings attached. 💖 Be Blessed!

❤️

I don't have a model's body, I have a MOM'S body and I'm ok with that. I look in the mirror and see me, a beautiful child of God, who is the best wife and mother I am capable of being at this moment. Is there room for improvement, sure. Do I continue to try to grow and become a better person for myself and those around me, ALWAYS!!! 💝

If anyone out there can here my heart, comment ' I '.

----One of the many things my father taught me is you will always win if you don't give up! I have passed that on to my son. Even when you are injured, you are still part of the team. There is still something you can learn, even from the sidelines. You NEVER QUIT! 👏🏆
