I am Donae! A wife and mom of three kids, ALL boys! I would love to share with you my experience with living purposefully. Let my life Inspire, Encourage and Motivate you on your journey of living a purposeful life.

If this is an area of struggle for you, I hope thi If this is an area of struggle for you, I hope this blog post will help shift your perspective on the challenges you may have been experiencing when it comes to creating healthy boundaries.For most of us, we tend to want others to respect our space and change their behavior to accommodate the struggles we experience in our relationships with them.But what if that isn’t always the case? What if it’s not within our power to change another person, but we can change how we relate to them instead?At the end of the day, you can only be responsible for yourself and what you choose to allow in your life.In this blog post, I’ll share practical tools to help you establish healthy boundaries and create an environment that supports your peace and well-being.Read my blog post:HOW TO CREATE HEALTHY BOUNDARIESThis information will help shift your perspective on what it means to establish and maintain healthy boundaries.Click the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#healthyboundaries #guardyourheart #selfcare #peace
Many of us have been praying for breakthroughs in Many of us have been praying for breakthroughs in different areas of our lives, whether financially, relationally, spiritually, or in so many other areas.We want the breakthrough, but instead of seeing it from a different perspective, we often do more spiritual things in an attempt to move God in our direction.But what if I told you that breakthrough can also come through rest?I can hear the sigh! Many of us really don’t know how to rest. We have learned the art of overproducing, overachieving, and overfunctioning in so many areas of our lives.But what if we removed all those high-achieving goals and simply practiced the art of rest? Perhaps the breakthroughs would become far more visible than they would be otherwise.How do I know? Read my blog post:LEARNING TO BE AT RESTFor more insightful revelations on the power of rest and why it is necessary in a world that idolizes over-functioning, click the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#rest #restisselfcare #purposedrivenlife #selfcare #restisdivine
Faith is a continuous walk of trusting God, even w Faith is a continuous walk of trusting God, even when the mountains are high and the valleys are low.For some of us, however, we don’t want to admit that we are struggling in some areas more than others.Yes, we might trust God to protect our lives from danger, but we still want to maintain control over other areas of our lives.However, faith works when we are fully submitted and surrendered to His will and His way for our lives.What does that look like?We cling to God like helpless children on a journey that we know will be challenging, and we don’t let go.That’s what living fully in faith looks like.If you’re struggling to believe God in your faith walk with Him, then read my next blog post:WHEN LIFE CHALLENGES YOUR FAITHClick the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#faith #faithwalk #trustinggod #faithoverfear #walkingbyfaith
You’ll never be at peace with a life that was deci You’ll never be at peace with a life that was decided for you. You were made to be exactly who you were created to be.If you are struggling with the life you’ve built, then I can promise you that you aren’t living the life you were created for.Sometimes, unknowingly, we allow society, family, or friends to decide for us what life is best.Most times, however, they are projecting their own fears and insecurities onto you.You love the arts, but they told you a job as a nurse is far more stable. So, you gave up on your own goals and dreams to pursue that stability.How do you feel now?You feel like you’re living a false life.It’s because you were made to be exactly who you were created to be. And when you move away from your identity, you will always feel like you’re struggling and coming up short.If that’s you, then read my next blog post:LIVING LIFE IN FREEDOMJust this awareness can change your life forever.Click the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#freedom #livingfree #becoming #beingmyself #beingtruetomyself
We like to say the term, “I’m broken hearted” espe We like to say the term, “I’m broken hearted” especially when we’ve survived something tragic, hurtful or painful. But did you know that it’s not only figuratively and that your heart does take on a spiritual nature as well?Our heart is actually the conduit for our emotions. Whatever we expose ourselves to can and does affect our heart.This is why it is so important to protect this part of who you are and to be very guarded on what you do allow whether for good or bad.I wrote a blog post on this topic called:BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT GUARDING YOUR HEARTThis is a crucial step in living a more lighter, freer and balanced life.Click on the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#guardyourheart #selfcare #hearthealth #healing #selfcaretips
Life is a journey of ups and downs, winding roads Life is a journey of ups and downs, winding roads and sometimes turbulent storms. Some of it we can’t prevent but for others it’s up to our choosing what we allow to stay connected to us.We are aware of certain decisions that we do have to make. However, for some reason we may be in denial about them.That job or relationship you know isn’t serving you anymore but you still choose to be there.If at some point you also realize that you’re still stuck on your journey ahead, it might be an indication that you have to unload somethings that just can’t go with you anymore.What is that for you?Read my next blog post:LEARNING TO LET GO OF WHAT DOESN’T SERVE YOUSometimes the best thing that you can do for yourself is to remove the things that no longer serve you, so that you can run unhindered in the life that’s designed for you.Click on the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#lettinggo #letgo #lovingwhoyouare #selfcare #movingforward
Faith without flexing your muscles is not active f Faith without flexing your muscles is not active faith at all. Faith requires walking it out each day in full surrender.What that looks like is stepping forward in every season of life no matter the obstacles, challenges and setbacks that comes.On the opposite side of faith is fear. If you choose to not walk in faith daily, then fear will get the upper hand.Trust the process, timing and seasons of your life in full surrender.Read my next blog post:WALKING BY FAITH EACH DAYLearn how to do so with more confidence and boldness than ever before.Click on the blog link in my bio. 👆🏾#faith #walkingbyfaith #faithdriven #faithoverfear #faithwins
