Encouragers, thank you so much for your support and attentive listening toward “The Encourager” this past year.  I feel so fortunate and blessed to have learned so much along with you these last few months.  Thank you to my guests who have interviewed thus far as well!  My last episode for 2015 encapsulates the best practices that I worked on in my life and business.  Hopefully, you can either try one of these for yourself in the New Year or reflect upon your own practices to build unique practices for 2016. *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™.

I’m back!  Thank you for your patience as I sewed like crazy to get my Christmas purses finished!  During my time sewing, I had plenty of time to brainstorm about new episodes to share into 2016. This week, it was incredibly obvious that perspective had to be my main subject.  From now on, I will try to include elements of perspective in my show to help guide you through times that seem too difficult to manage. Business flops, misbehaving children, church and community commitments, hosting family, etc. can all be overwhelming—especially when they overlap.  Not to fear, a perspective of positivity and gratefulness can get you through anything!  Tune in this week to hear how I am looking at life with a new perspective and how I can guide you to do the same! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™.

This week we are replaying another popular episode: "Leaving a Legacy the Simple Way".  The holiday season is the PERFECT time to make lasting memories with your loved ones.  Try some of my suggestions from this episode along with other Christmas traditions.  Decorating the tree together, caroling, donating to the Salvation Army, buying gifts for an Angel Tree, and many other acts of kindness can be done for others.  There are so many opportunities to give back this time of year!  Help create that legacy of a servant heart this Christmas with your family.    *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs.  Find at shoprsd.com* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Hello encouragers!  Well this lady had to get real with time! I will not have new episodes for the next couple of weeks. The holiday season is extremely busy for RSD and I have to sew like crazy to get all of the orders completed.  As I have elaborated on before, I truly rely on my priority list to guide me when things get hectic.  Through prayers and reflection, I have decided this decision would be the best for my family and for my business. This week on the Encourager we will re-post the Jenny Fenig interview since it was such hit!  If you missed this episode, check it out!  If you have already listened to it, take another listen.  Jenny gives great advice about slowing down and finding one's passions/purpose to have renewed energy for life's daily tasks.    *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs.  Find at shoprsd.com* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

As we all head off in our cars or begin preparations for the big feast on Thursday, I decided to keep my things short and sweet this week.  Even though the holiday season can be hectic, Thanksgiving allows a time for us all to take a deep breath and reminisce on the past year and all the things we are thankful for.  Your family will love you regardless of how decorated the house is, or how juicy the turkey may be—so let go of some of that worry!  During the episode, I share with you a few short things that after reflection on 2015 I have been extraordinarily thankful for. I challenge you this week to be in reflection of your year and many blessings! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™*  Find at shoprsd.com.

My babes are the reason I do what I do. Being a work at home mom, I am blessed with watching them grow and learn in the comforts of our home.  However, in order to enjoy our shared time together and have a productive work day, my children and I have to follow a schedule while I have to remember to give them grace and patience. This week on the Encourager I share my seven best tips that have made business with the kiddos right next to me successful over the last seven years.  Each of my children have different personalities and have gone through different phases; but these seven tips best encapsulate the methods for how I have handled day to day life thus far. I hope you can apply one or two of these to your parenting techniques while working from home! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs.  Find at shoprsd.com* Check out the reflection guide under the "Encourager Podcast" tab on my website.  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
