Today I found myself thinking again about the words Jesus spoke as He hung on the cross:
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

That line has followed me for years. It comes back to me in moments when forgiveness feels impossible—when the hurt is deep, when the words cut sharp, when the weight of the past presses hard on my heart.

In the last seven years especially, I’ve had to wrestle with what forgiveness really means. I’ve had to whisper those words to myself over and over again: they do not know. It’s softened my heart in times when bitterness tried to take root.

I want to be a warrior for Jesus. Not the kind of warrior that fights back with fists or words, but the kind who wakes up each day determined to be kinder, more loving, and more forgiving than the day before. Even when I’m afraid. Even when I feel mocked or misunderstood. Even when it would be easier to harden my heart.

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what was done. But it frees me from being chained to it.

So today, I’m reminding myself: the prize isn’t in proving myself to others. The prize is living in a way that reflects Christ’s love—by forgiving, again and again, just as He forgave.

And maybe this is for you, too. Where in your life are you being asked to forgive? What weight could be lifted if you let go and placed it in God’s hands?

Sometimes we build walls so high we forget the door has always been open. For years, I thought the walls were keeping me safe… when really, they were keeping me small.

The hardest part isn’t breaking free — it’s having the courage to step into the unknown when you’ve grown comfortable in the familiar.

Lately I’ve been asking myself:
✨ Is this life still serving me?
✨ Or am I just afraid to risk what might come next?
✨ What if the very thing I’m holding onto is the prison I’m meant to walk out of?

Maybe the journey isn’t about blowing it all up or clinging tightly to what we’ve built — maybe it’s about having the faith to loosen our grip, to test what sticks, to believe we’re allowed to begin again.

Here’s to the ones standing in the doorway, knowing the cage is open, and finding the courage to step through.

🌟 Connection through Complaining: Are You In? 🌟

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Sitting around, sharing our daily gripes and grievances, believing that venting our frustrations is the secret sauce to building connections. 🤔 But is it really serving us in the way we think it does?

✨ Are you actively participating in this cycle of complaining?

If so, take a moment to reflect: How is it truly serving you? 🤷‍♀️ For years, I found myself caught in this web, thinking that sharing my woes would bring me closer to others. But did it?

💭 How can you tell if you’re complaining just to connect?

Maybe it’s those moments when the conversation shifts from uplifting stories to an exchange of complaints. Or perhaps you notice a sense of camaraderie that feels a bit… heavy.

Let’s break the cycle together! Share your thoughts below. Are you ready to transform your connections into something more positive? 🌈💬

🌟 Insightful Conversations with Aspen Heupel!🌟

I recently had an incredible discussion with my daughter, Aspen, during our latest podcast/Facebook Live session. We explored some deep and meaningful questions that can guide our interactions and help us navigate life’s challenges more effectively.

Here are the questions we have used:

1. What outcome do you want to create?
2. What is the worst thing that could happen?
3. What are you afraid of?
4. What would you do if it didn't matter?
5. How are you feeling about this?
6. What do you need to be successful?
7. How are you contributing to this situation?
8. What do you need to say to find peace?
9. What do you want to say that you haven't yet?
10. What do you really want? What would it take to get there?
11. What is one action you can take now to move things forward?
12. Is that your responsibility?
13. What are you going to do about this?
14. How are you getting in your own way?
15. What is really going on in this situation?
16. What are you most angry or upset about?
17. What would success look like?
18. What competing values make this difficult?
19. What might you lose?
20. What are the consequences of doing nothing?

💬 I encourage you to reflect on these questions as well! Which one resonates with you the most? Join the conversation in the comments, and let’s support each other in our journeys! 💪✨

"Your suffering is never caused by the person you're blaming."

Blame is an easy escape, but it never leads to freedom and encases you in a prison of false perception. It’s tempting to believe that suffering is caused by someone else—that their words, their actions, or their choices are the reason for the pain. But what if the real source of suffering isn’t what they did, but the way it is perceived, processed, and held onto?

The mind has a way of creating narratives. It builds stories around pain, assigning fault and attaching emotions to past wounds. But the moment blame is given away, power is also given away. Blame keeps the focus outward, waiting for someone else to change, apologize, or make things right. But what if peace doesn’t depend on their actions? What if it has always been an internal choice?

No one can control how others act. People will make mistakes, they will be unfair, they will disappoint. But what happens next—the response, the emotions carried forward, the way the situation is interpreted—is entirely within personal control. And this is where true strength lies: in realizing that suffering isn’t created by the external, but by the attachment to what cannot be changed.

Personal accountability is not about excusing others—it’s about reclaiming power. It’s the understanding that while pain is real, suffering is optional. It’s the choice to see difficult situations as lessons instead of burdens, to shift perspective from victimhood to growth. The world will not always be kind, but inner peace is not determined by external forces.

Letting go of blame is not about denying hurt; it’s about refusing to let it define the future. When responsibility is taken for thoughts, reactions, and emotions, life no longer feels like something that happens *to* you, but something shaped *by* you.

Freedom begins the moment responsibility is claimed. The choice is always there: to remain bound by blame or to step forward in strength. In the end, the only true control is over oneself, and that is where real peace is found.

🌟 Join the Movement of Healing!🌟

What hurt and damage are you capable of inflicting if you refuse to confront your own pain and brokenness? This question has lingered in my mind as I reflect on the journey I've been on. It’s a painful truth that acknowledging our own wounds can lead to profound healing—not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. 💔

As I look back, I see the hurt my own brokenness has caused, and I recognize the pain that has been passed down through my family. I remember a moment when the truth was revealed between me and my biological mother—a moment that showed me how her own unresolved pain led to so much suffering. What if she had faced her pain instead of justifying her actions? What if she had the tools I now possess? Imagine the generational healing that could take place! 🌱

Are you ready to confront your patterns of behavior? Are you willing to acknowledge the hurt you may have caused without excuses? Let’s shake the generational tree together to free ourselves and our children from the burdens of the past.

🚀 I am launching my next onboarding for the Next Level Collective Program at the end of March, and I am looking for 9 courageous individuals who are ready to embark on this healing journey.

If you're ready to break the cycle and create a legacy of healing, join us at Lotus Vision Coaching. Together, we can transform pain into power and set future generations free.

Let’s heal together. 💖✨

✨️🙏

Not everyone has the ability to consider viewpoints outside their own, and recognizing this can save a great deal of frustration and unnecessary conflict. Mental maturity goes beyond intelligence or life experience—it is the capacity to step outside of personal beliefs and genuinely consider another perspective, even when it challenges what feels familiar.

Some people, no matter how respectfully or logically you present an idea, are simply unable to entertain a viewpoint that contradicts their own. They may be deeply attached to their way of thinking, seeing no reason to question or expand it. This is not just a matter of being stubborn; it often signals a lack of emotional intelligence and self-awareness. The ability to embrace differing perspectives requires growth, and not everyone has reached that point.

Trying to reason with someone who lacks this openness can feel like speaking different languages. No matter how valid your points are, they may only see what reinforces their existing beliefs. It isn’t necessarily intentional—some people are simply conditioned to see anything unfamiliar as a threat rather than an opportunity to grow.

Maturity is understanding that not everyone will think the way you do, and that’s okay. It means accepting that you cannot force open-mindedness on someone who isn’t ready for it. Some individuals need more time and experience before they can step outside their mental framework, and no amount of debate will accelerate that process.

Realizing this gives you the power to be selective about where you invest your energy. You no longer feel the need to convince someone who refuses to listen, because you understand that progress isn’t made through endless argument—it’s made through meaningful conversations with people who are open to learning and evolving.

By assessing whether someone is genuinely receptive before engaging in a debate, you can avoid draining interactions that lead nowhere. Not every argument is worth having, especially when the other person is more concerned with defending their stance than understanding another.

Before engaging in a discussion, ask yourself: is this person capable of considering another perspective, or are they set in their ways? If they are unwilling to engage in meaningful dialogue, walking away is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of wisdom. Sometimes, the most mature response is choosing not to argue at all.

🦋Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.

Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.

My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.
So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.

Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.

For years, I tried to fit into the mold of what I thought others expected of me—whether it was my appearance, my intellect, or my passions. I kept asking myself what I truly wanted from life and why, and it left me feeling lost.
