Hey Beautiful Souls~ 🌸
I recently crossed a significant milestone in my journey—completing my Associate's Degree in Humanities and Social Sciences. It's a moment of reflection and pride, marking both an end and a beginning. Looking ahead, there's the potential path toward a Bachelor's degree in Family Science which has always been my plan but due to life, health, trials, and well I figure I am okay, especially being 40 with my Associate's Degree. I am so proud of myself for sticking through college and it's been a rough go but I MADE IT~ So can you :) Whatever you are doing. If my future wants me to complete my last semester and get my Bachelor's so be it, but for now I am enjoying finding my next embrace in this journey.
I'm embracing this season of 'me-time'. Whether it's exploring the stunning landscapes of southern Utah with my loving husband, Tarl, or pouring love into my blog and shop, every moment is a step towards discovering the 'Jackie' I'm meant to be. 🌈💕
I am so grateful to be married to an amazing and creative partner as well. I am and continue to support my husband in his journey and will always and forever. We have some fun creative projects planned and lots of things to explore now that school is done.
This journey is teaching me the importance of self-love and care. Remember, it's not selfish to prioritize your well-being. Your mental, physical, and spiritual health is paramount. 🌿🧘♀️
To anyone out there feeling lost or overwhelmed, know that it's okay to seek help, to take a step back, and to focus on YOU. You are enough. You are capable. And most importantly, you are uniquely designed by Our Heavenly Parents to shine in ways you can't even imagine.
Right now, there's a beautiful peace in not rushing into the next thing. Instead, I'm savoring the quiet, the space to breathe and choose my next adventure. It's a time for creativity, exploration, and most importantly, for self-discovery. 🌈✨
This period is teaching me the value of taking time for myself—time to heal, to grow, and to simply be. Mental health, self-love, and self-care are not just buzzwords; they're vital practices that allow us to recharge and navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.
So, I'm embracing this pause. Whether my journey takes me toward further education or down another path entirely, I'm learning to trust the process and my inner voice. And I encourage you to do the same. Trust in your journey, beautiful souls. Allow yourself the space to explore, to dream, and to find peace in the unknown. 🌟
Remember, it's okay to take a step back, to reflect, and to choose your adventures with intention. You are enough, just as you are, and your path is yours to shape. So, let's keep shining, keep dreaming, and most importantly, keep being true to ourselves. You're amazing.
Keep Shining~ Be Inspired~

Hello Beautiful Souls~ 🌟
This morning, as the first rays of dawn reached through my window, a song whispered to my heart, a hymn of beginnings and gratitude. The words "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" filled the quiet space, a gentle reminder that faith is the melody that plays beneath the surface of our days.
Today marks not just another Creative Tuesday; it is the day I step into a new chapter of life. On January 2, 2024, I embraced a new year and a new me. It's a time for cleansing—both body and spirit—and for clearing away the old to make space for new growth.
I am not the labels that has tried to define me. I am not just a list of past mistakes and sins. I am a creation in progress, my spirit a canvas of experiences, painted with strokes of resilience, empathy, and understanding. Today, I am an empath, a storyteller, and a believer in the love and teachings of Jesus Christ.
This Creative Tuesday, I commit to the now—to my path, my self-love, my worth. I am Jackie Inspires, a name that is not just an identity but a calling. It is a testament to my journey, my learning, my striving for perfection, and my pursuit of authenticity.
Despite battles with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the myriad labels since birth, I stand in my truth. I am learning to view myself through the eyes of my Heavenly Parents and my Savior, for it is through their perspective that I find my worth.
Questions to Ponder for yourself :
What songs of faith resonate with you and guide your journey?
How do you paint the story of your life with the palette of your experiences?
In what ways do you embrace creativity as an expression of your inner self?
Keep Shining 🌟 Be Inspired 🌟

Hello Beautiful Souls :) Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to share some inspiration while we tackle more days, weeks, and months ahead, that way you have something to fall back on when you need a reminder.
Life is a complex tapestry of experiences, filled with ups and downs, joys, and sorrows. Sometimes, it feels like the world is testing us beyond our limits, pushing us to the brink of despair. In these moments, it's crucial to remember that it's okay to have a hard time, to suffer, to express your vulnerability.
It's also essential to remind yourself that amidst the trials, you possess the strength to endure and thrive. Each of us matters, and your struggles are real. This blog post aims to inspire you to harness your skills, desires, knowledge, passions, and talents to better understand yourself and others, to find the good in all circumstances, and to keep moving forward.
Being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness. It takes courage to admit your struggles and seek support from others. Remember, it's okay to shed tears, to share your fears, and to ask for help. Vulnerability consists of empathy and compassion, not only for others but also for yourself.
Find the Good in All Circumstances. Life's challenges can be daunting, but within every hardship lies an opportunity for growth and transformation. Instead of dwelling on what's going wrong, focus on what you can learn from your experiences. Adversity often brings out the best in people, teaching resilience, patience, and gratitude. Keep in mind that even the most challenging circumstances can lead to personal breakthroughs and positive change.
Discover Your Talents and Passions. Your unique talents and passions are powerful tools for self-discovery and personal development. Take the time to explore your interests and hobbies. What activities light up your soul? What could you spend hours doing without getting tired or bored? Your passions and talents are integral to understanding who you are at your core. They offer a pathway to self-fulfillment and purpose.
Sharing your expertise and experiences can create meaningful connections and build a sense of belonging. When you use your skills and knowledge to help others, you not only make a positive impact on their lives but also gain a deeper understanding of your own capabilities and potential.
Remember: You Matter. Your existence has an impact on the world around you, and your unique perspective contributes to the diversity of human experiences. Your struggles, your triumphs, your journey—it all matters. Don't underestimate the value of your presence in this world.
Always remember to keep going. No matter how hard it gets. You can experience hurt and all other emotions and matters, but you must keep going to know that there is something better in the end.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's important to acknowledge that there will be setbacks along the way, but these setbacks do not define your journey. What matters most is your determination to keep going. Perseverance in the face of adversity is a testament to your strength and resilience. When you keep moving forward, you not only overcome obstacles but also create a life that reflects your true potential.
Know that YOU MATTER. EACH OF US AROUND THE WORLD MATTERS.
Focus on the day~ Find yourself :)
