Today's Life Note...
- Note to Self:
Oohhh, is that gift for me?Dear Self,
I gotcha a Christmas gift this year, but it’s not just an ordinary gift, it’s an amazing gift!
Self, ordinary gifts are nice, but you and I both know (oh yeah, I’m you!) that over time those gifts lose their luster and eventually get stashed in the closet or given to Goodwill.
Self, I’m giving you a gift that can’t be wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. In fact, it’s invisible… yet it’s more real than the stuff you can hold in your hands. It’s the real deal when it comes to a meaningful and lasting gift.
Self, inside this gift is the gift of forgiveness. Forgiveness from the guilt of all your mistakes and bad choices. A completely clean slate that erases all the bad and starts writing beautiful things into your life.
Inside this gift is the gift of grace. It can’t be earned by anything you do or say. It’s given to you in spite of you. It’s the gift of unearned grace and acceptance.
Inside this gift is the gift of love. But it’s not an “I’ll love you if you love me back” kind of love. It’s the purest form of love that died a brutal death on the cross to take your place and pay the ultimate punishment for your sins. This love painfully traded your darkness for His amazing light.
Inside this gift is the gift of a relationship and close communion with the Creator of the Universe. Jesus closed the gap between you and God so that you can know and approach Him on a personal level, without any separation.
Inside this gift is the gift of forever. This is a lasting gift that starts with today but doesn’t have an ending point. It extends further than your earthly life and stretches into forever.
But Self, there is one condition with this gift. You need to reach out and take it… to choose the gift of life He is offering you. In accepting this gift from Jesus, you will discover a true and more meaningful life of freedom and purpose.
Self, it’s up to you to unwrap this gift to see what’s in it. What you’ll find is God’s goodness, forgiveness, grace and love all wrapped up in the perfect gift for Christmas.
Me
Take the challenge: Accept the greatest gift of Christmas!

I CAN & I WILL Brain Camp is an action plan journal that empowers you to not just start a goal, but to cross the finish line! You may begin your journey with good intentions, but are those intentions strong enough to keep you going? When a moment of weakness or an overwhelming feeling that it’s too difficult whispers in your ear, it becomes easy to slip back into bad habits, abandon the projects or ideas you’re working toward, or give up on the dream you’ve been chasing.
Along with inspirational thoughts and ideas, this book includes a 100-Day Action Plan Journal to help you push through those tough times when you just want to quit.
Psst! Do you want to know a secret? You’re worth the effort! So don’t give up on yourself today. I’m not talking about tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. I’m focusing on today and only today as you graciously give yourself the gift of not giving up. Why do I say this? Because success is ultimately found in one place: TODAY! What you do today is the determining factor in achieving your goal. Good thing today is your da

Story or Poem
Just a moment please…
“Just a moment…”
doesn’t mean to wait
for another moment.
This is not just a moment.
This moment is yours!
Your moment to shine.
Your moment to be a part of
what’s going on around you.
Breathe in and live this moment.

God-Moment
If You Could Ask One thing of GOD What Would It be?
In my Bible time this morning, I was reading Psalm 27. In verse 4, David answers the question, “If I could ask one thing of GOD, what would it be?” His answer stopped me for a moment as I read it. I started thinking, “If I was asked this question, is this the first thing that would pop into my mind? Is this what I would ask GOD for if I could only ask one thing?” Ashamedly and honestly this would not be my first thought. I think of lists of circumstances and people that I love that need GOD’s intervention. And yet, humbly, this is the single most important request that each of us needs and should desire above all else. So today I thank GOD that through these words of David, He redirected my focus exactly where it needed to be:
Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek Him in His temple.
Hi, I'm Kally
Hey there! I’m here to be a ray of sunshine and to put a pep in your step so you can live life fully today!
Whether you need a quicker-picker-upper to energize your day (who doesn’t need that?), or if you’re facing giants and life feels heavy and bleak, you’ve come to the right place!
I’ve been through the good, the bad, and the ugly, (as I’m sure you have as well!) and I’ve learned some life nuggets along the way. My one minute Life Notes will fuel your tank and inspire you to move forward and to find hope in the moment. Plus, if you have more time, check out the writings and God-Moments.
I know your time is valuable, so my Life Notes only take a minute of your time; one minute that motivates you to take a step forward – to help you believe in yourself, your purpose and your value. You matter! The piece you contribute to this life matters.
Keep in mind, you don’t need to conquer the world today, you just need to take one single step.
Life isn’t about taking a giant leap forward to get to that big moment, but rather those small steps and the day-by-day journey that slowly but surely helps you reach a bigger goal. Small but steady steps are the key.
Whatever you’re facing, or whatever your life ambitions are, I believe in you. I believe in the good in you. I believe you are here for a purpose, and the world is a better place because you’re here. Or, at least it can be. I believe you can get through the yuck and muck and come out shining on the other side.
Take my hand, grab your phone, and smile. Let’s take a selfie!
