Welcome to my first installment of "Tuesday Tip"!

When going through a challenging journey, whether it be a health and lifestyle change like mine or any other type of problem {work, relationship, school, etc.}, make yourself an "Encouragement Spot"!  Bring together, in one spot, items that encourage and bless you.  Your Encouragement Spot should be in a place is that always within eye shot throughout your day.

Since I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, my Encouragement Spot is on my windowsill {see pictures below}.  I picked items that are in colors that soothe me, contain positive, encouraging words, and favorite gifts given to me by family and friends.  I cannot tell you how many times these items brought a smile to my face and encouragement to my heart.

Why not create your very own "Encouragement Spot"?  If you do, I'd love to see what it looks like.  Please post a comment below!

My Encouragement Spot

"I Can Do All Things..." cross given to me by a sweet friend.
A domino with words of affirmation from a retreat I went on.
"Pray Hardest When It's Hardest To Pray" plaque I bought from Hobby Lobby. {I love that place!}
A sweet dish with two white birds given to me by an equally sweet friend

"Love" plaque given to me by a dear friend.  {I love everything about this plaque!}

"Once You Choose Hope Anything IS Possible" plaque.  {I also bought this at Hobby Lobby.}
Pioneer Woman cow and Mason jar.  {I love everything Pioneer Woman!  It makes me smile!}

Angels Are Among Us!
{The two on either end are from Trades of Hope;
the two stained glass ones are from my kiddos;
and, the one in the center was crocheted by my sister.}
