The Write Release Journaling Workshops: Your pen … Your paper … Your legacy

In 2007 my mother-in-law Judy passed away from a long battle with cancer. Everyone who met her felt like they had been in the presence of an angel. She always gave her full attention and listening ear to the person in front of her. Her compassion and unconditional love radiated in every word she spoke. The one word that fully describes who she was is selfless. She was the real hands and feet of Christ.

Judy left behind many things for us, but the most precious gift were her words written on paper. In her very own handwriting we can read at anytime how much she loved us. Her journal is priceless. No amount of money can buy someone’s dreams, thoughts, struggles, fears, faith, etc. – their heart. Journaling was a safe retreat for her to freely express herself. She learned about who she was and who God was in her life.

During her final days as I sat beside her bed examining her delicate fingers pondering all the blessings her hands provided, I was not sure why at the time I was so enthralled with such a seemly small part of an amazing woman. It wasn’t until I sat and read the words she had penned with them. Her journal expressed her everyday life … a gift for her and a gift for us.

Will you join me in the significant release that comes through guided journaling? It is powerful, it is authentic, and it is life changing. It is Judy’s legacy passed to you.

What is a journaling workshop?

It is a simple yet unique way to discover and embrace your true self while connecting with God. Journaling will help you navigate through your hopes, dreams, thoughts, feelings and any struggles you might have in life. It will teach you how to connect with God and hear from Him.

What clients are saying about working with Linda Kuhar~

“Upon first speaking with Linda on our introductory call, I found her to be completely genuine, attentive, and focused on what I was concerned with and how she could best assist me in reaching my goals. Linda made me feel completely comfortable speaking about anything, which is something needed when trying to get to some of those root problems. Throughout my sessions with Linda, she would always check in on me, encouraging me with daily devotions, and also give me some assignments which she held me accountable. I was very thankful for her accountability, as discipline is not something I am the best at. I looked forward to my weekly sessions with Linda, as I could tell my work with her was helping me become stronger each week. Not only is Linda positive and encouraging, but she is honest, and encourages you to be honest with yourself and do some self-examination. I am truly thankful to Linda for taking the time to help me through some things, and I thank God for bringing her into my life, just when I needed it.” Sara W., VA

“Linda is amazing! She’s genuine, the real deal! In each call you can hear it in her voice how much she genuinely cares & has a deep desire to help. She’s positive & uplifting, encouraging & supportive. Linda will even be the first to tell you that it all comes from God & not her, that she is God’s vessel being used by him to bring his words to you.” Tricia D., IN

“I gained clarity about my talents and priorities, and was able to regain a sense of serenity, which is priceless! I am so grateful that Linda was able to walk with me through a challenging time with kindness, empathy and humor.” Cassie C., NJ

“Linda has been an inspiration in my life. Her ability to genuinely love others shows in her communication and presence. She gives me undivided attention, by listening and never judging. Her words of wisdom are inspiring and motivating.” Steph K., NC

“What a blessing and an honor it has been to meet Linda. She helped me define, establish and finish some goals that were very important to me. What we accomplished in our sessions, were priceless information and Christian guidance that genuinely helped me finish 3 of my 4 goals. My fourth goal is an ongoing goal, and she helped me come full circle in my own decisions on how to make it happen.” Cathy F., TX

“I was not looking for a Life Coach. To be honest, I had no clue what a Life Coach was, let alone a Christian Life Coach. It was by circumstance and God’s blessing that I found Linda. What better way to heal and move forward than feeding yourself spiritually so you can then mentally and physically align yourself with what God has planned for your life. Linda, through God’s leading helped me step outside of situations and not get stuck in the pit that was calling my name. I love Linda’s gentle ways, her love for the Lord and her genuine heart that seeks to help others reach their God-given potential.” Trish C., NY

“I am so thankful God led me to Linda. Coaching is exactly what I needed at a desperate time in my life. I just felt so stuck and held back. Linda asked questions that had me digging deeper and she was always so encouraging and had me pressing forward always pointing me to Jesus. My time with her has been so special and I have a new excitement and passion for life.” Bethany G., PA

“Linda was a delight to work with by phone sessions as I prepared for a first time speaking presentation for 150 women at a church brunch. Once I prepared my content, Linda helped me fine tune it. Her insights on how to connect with an audience were invaluable. She helped me see God’s “big picture” of my speaking presentation so I could relax and take my eyes off myself, and truly minister to the women in the audience. The event was a huge success. Not just because my content was valuable, but because Linda helped me communicate in a way that reached women’s hearts.” Kay Long, AZ

“I love that after praying for a Christian Coach for a year God led me to you. I am amazed how he has knit us together, the bond we share and how this journey has brought me closer to Him. You have taken me so far this year in my journey with God. I accept your invitation to join you on the next leg of this journey. I’m looking forward to it.”Randi R., NY

“Sometimes the details of life get overwhelming. In these moments you need a compassionate heart and the words of God spoken into your situation. Linda has been granted these gifts and she displays them with grace and charm. My walk with Christ has changed completely while working with Linda. Not in a way I expected but in a way truly needed.” Joline D., MN

“I am so thankful that God directed my path to Linda Kuhar. I’m a pretty organized, type A, driven person and wasn’t real sure what benefit I would get from a Coach, but I was feeling restless in my business and knew that wasn’t a good place to be. For me, this was a great investment in money and time. Knowing that I was dealing with a “like minded” individual who was praying with me and for my business gave me the confidence that God was going to show me what to do next by clearing a path to move forward, or shutting a door where I shouldn’t go. Linda listened to what I was sharing and would point out different areas that she heard I may need to focus on or think about. I spent 4 weeks being coached by Linda and through her God shared “nuggets” that will last a lifetime.” Melanie S., FL

A Free Book, Bling and Blessings on Today’s Blog


StephFrontCoverFINAL

A free book, bling and blessings are what today’s guest blog post is all about! I’m sharing an excerpt from my friend Steph Fink’s newest book, The Blessed Juggle – From Cray to Okay in 30 Days, available at encouragedinheart.org and Amazon TODAY!

Have you ever gone to bed and thought, “I have no idea how I made it through today?” Or, “I’m so busy I need a break or I’m going to break!” Or, “I can’t juggle ONE. MORE. THING.” and you said it in Z-formation with three snaps and a neck twist?

I get it. I so get it.

I get it so much that I wrote this book for us. I know we juggle a lot of stuff and wear a lot of different hats. I wrote this book, because I know what busy feels like. Busy feels exhausting. Busy feels productive. Busy feels like I’m important because important people have “stuff” to do, right? But, when I’m too busy, I feel cray (my cool way to say crazy). And, being cray is not okay.

As I’ve examined some of my past “I’m so busy” statements, God illuminated that many of my “busy” thoughts were rooted in fear. I feared that I’m not enough – so I filled my time with “important stuff” – I feared if I said, “No!”, I’d let others down – I feared that I’d live an unimportant life – I feared being out of the loop and missing something, anything, really.

My, “I’m so busy!” almost always had an origin of fear, not faith. The way to combat fear is with faith. God made you and I on purpose for a purpose, and it’s to live in, by and with faith. I have faith that whatever God drops into our hands, it is because we’re blessed – not because we’re busy!

I have a strong aversion to watching re-runs (I’ve already seen it, why do I need to see it again?). Similarly, being around people that regularly declare, “I’m so busy!” makes me feel a little like I’m watching a re-run of my own life. I want to encourage your heart for the next 30 days to lose the cray, “I’m so busy!” mentality and move to an okay, “I’m so blessed!” attitude. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be okay; okay really is good enough. You are good enough!

This book is small enough to fit in your purse, brief case or diaper bag. It’s a book and workbook all in one (one less thing to misplace!) and designed to be used as a journal with blank lines provided each day to record your thoughts. At the end of every day, I included one “Blessed Juggler Tip” shared from my friends that have found a practical way to shift an area of their juggle from cray to okay. I have really smart friends, so you’ll want to read their tips!

This book would be a great resource to use for a four-week book club, small group, Bible study or an accountability group. You can use Day 1 as your introduction day and Day 30 as your closing day, which will give you four full weeks of daily encouragement. At the end of each week, go through the past seven-days of discoveries together and then encourage each other!

I pray the words in this book encourage you to realize that while you may be juggling a lot, (maybe even more than you think you can or should handle), it is because you are so very blessed.

It’s my heart’s desire that you live a very joyful, purpose-filled, and blessed juggle life!

Anyone that shares this post and leaves a comment below about an area that they struggle in their juggle will be entered in to win a free autographed copy of The Blessed Juggle and a pair of these beautiful fair trade Blessed Juggle earrings (in the picture below!)! (The winner will be contacted one week from today on April 18th!)
freebookblingonLKblogThese fun earrings can be worn with jeans, yoga pants or a dress and elegantly captures The Blessed Juggle message. The gold circle represents God and the turquoise balls are all those important people and things you juggle. The turquoise color looks awesome on only everybody! There’s a wage difference for women worldwide. Women and their children that live in poverty are at an increased risk for being trafficked (human trafficking is also known as modern day slavery).  I’m so proud to offer these fair trade earrings as the women that created them did so under fair working conditions; ethical fashion is fabulous fashion! I absolutely LOVE wearing mine, which I wore in this video that I made just for you!

Bad Habits to New Habits

I’m inviting you to pray this today: “Search the inner depths of my heart and expose anything that is not of You so I can be set free of it.” Excerpt from Stormie Omartian’s book The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage.

What do you need to be set free from?

In my quiet time I was reading Psalm 5:11-12 and part of it reads “Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.” All of a sudden my eyes were opened to a “bad” habit I have. I have a habit of not being joyful, instead I have a habit of anxious thoughts and worrying.

I’ve decided I want to create a new habit of gratitude, thankful and joy filled thoughts to replace my bad habit of anxious and worried thoughts.

Let me know what “bad” habit you have and what new habit you can replace it with?

Linda Kuhar extends an invitation to find an extraordinary God at work in the middle of our ordinary lives. She offers faith, encouragement and, most of all, hope. Whether you’re going through a difficult time or are simply looking for inspiration and a new perspective, Worthy of a Miracle will meet you where you are and help you see what could be. – Holley Gerth, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of You’re Already Amazing

I knew Linda’s story would be inspiring, but had no idea how much her book would touch my heart as a woman, a wife, a parent and a believer. Seeing how God orchestrated small and life changing miracles in her life literally moved me to tears as I witnessed the tangible proof of the power of God at work. Her story is a beautiful reminder of God’s sovereignty, packed with scriptural promises and practical steps for growing our relationship with God, while reminding us all that we are worthy of His miracles too. – Tracie Miles, Christian Speaker & Writer, and Author of two best-selling books, Your Life Still Counts: How God Turns Your Past Into A Beautiful Future and Stressed-Less Living: Finding God’s Peace In Your Chaotic World.

Look at what YOU did for me!

Is being too tired a good excuse not to follow through on your goals?

I really wanted to use that excuse this week. But when I thought about my desired outcome to feel great when I run my half marathon I decided to push through my resistance.

But then, even in the middle of pushing through, I started thinking about ways to cut corners the next day! Have you ever done that?

Extra accountability is what I needed this week! So I stepped it up. I made a commitment to video and let you know when I completed my next goal (4 mile run).

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my blog community for watching this and my friend Stephanie for running with me because I would have totally cheated myself and ran fewer miles. Confession: I get lazy and I like to cut corners 🙂

Let me know who is keeping you accountable in your goal? Do you need to step up your accountability to make sure you follow through? Everyone who comments will be entered to win a copy of The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

No Pain, No Gain … Really?

This was so hard … 7 miles complete!

Why do we take two steps forward and one step back when working towards our goal? We might need to consider the different factors involved. For example this week I need to look at the difference in the weather, my nutrition and stretching from the previous week.

Coaching tip: When you are working towards your goal do not get discouraged when you have an “off” day. It is part of the process to have good days and bad days. Remember progress not perfection. We must go through growing pains, learning and perseverance to get across the finish line.

Let’s keep up the good work ladies, together we will make it through!

War Room

Have you seen War Room? Confession: I went twice this weekend!

This movie literally has changed my life. If you have not seen the movie, please go see it.

Will you take the challenge with me to step up and be more disciplined in your prayer life? I know when I sincerely meet with God, I leave a changed woman every single time. I’m not saying it will be easy, but I promise it is worth it.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

While discipline is so important for us to achieve our goals, it is even more important in our time with God. Our prayer lives must be top priority.

Let me know how disciplined you are in your prayer life or do you need to step it up with me? How might that impact the goals you are trying to achieve? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN The Mended Heart by Suzanne Eller.

My Prayer Before 1st Chemo

This park is my special place. Before my first chemo treatment I sat here and prayed to God 5 simple words, “May your will be done“. At that point I did not know what was going to happen or what the journey was going to look like, but I released it to him that day.

I invite you to pray this simple prayer with me. God, may your will be done in my life.

Whatever goals you’re working on or the dreams you have I encourage you to hand them over to God and ask him to guide and lead you.

Romans 12:2 tells us that the renewing of our mind will literally transform us. To accomplish our goals we must have the mindset of Christ, which is positive. I firmly believe I would not be where I am today if I would have given up and had a negative mindset when I was learning to walk again after my illness.

How are you doing with your mindset? What is your mind focused on?

Lets say our affirmation together: I am worthy.

Whatever your goal is I want you to know YOU CAN DO IT!!! We can do this together.
