Sassy State of Mind💋…Life Expands When You Do

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

~AnaĂŻs Nin

Hello Sassy family! Have you ever felt that quiet tug in your heart to do more, be more, or try again, but fear keeps whispering, what if you fail? Maybe you’ve found yourself playing it safe, staying comfortable, or putting your dreams on pause because stepping out feels too risky. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and this quote might be the gentle nudge your heart needs today.

Anaïs Nin reminds us that courage isn’t about being fearless, it’s about choosing movement even when fear is present. Every brave decision, no matter how small, creates more room in your life. More room for growth. More room for joy. More room for becoming who you were always meant to be.

Courage looks different for each of us. Sometimes it’s saying no when you’ve always said yes. Sometimes it’s walking away from what’s familiar to make space for what’s healthier. Other times, it’s believing again after disappointment, opening your heart after hurt, or trusting God even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

When we shrink back, life begins to feel limited. We settle. We dim our light. We convince ourselves that comfort is safer than calling. But when we choose courage when we dare to hope, to heal, to try again: life responds by expanding. Opportunities appear. Confidence grows. Purpose becomes clearer.

Here’s the beautiful truth: courage doesn’t require perfection. It only asks for willingness. Willingness to take the next step. Willingness to trust that you are stronger than your fear. Willingness to believe that there is more for you on the other side of obedience and bold faith.

So today, ask yourself: Where have I been shrinking when I was meant to expand? What would change if you chose courage in that space?

Let this be your reminder: your life is not meant to be lived small. You were created for fullness, depth, and purpose. And with every courageous choice you make, life grows right alongside you.

Let’s grow together, one courageous step at a time.

Live Fearlessly,

Sassy State of Mind💋…The Power of â€śNow”

Hello Sassy family! Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about the life you want; more peace, more confidence, more joy, but feeling unsure of how to actually get there? Maybe you’ve been waiting for the perfect timing, the right opportunity, or the moment when everything finally “falls into place.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many of us stand on the edge of our potential, not realizing that the doorway to our future is found in the choices we make today.

Emily Dickinson’s quote, “The future is composed of the nows,” is a great reminder that our future isn’t something far away; it’s being shaped in every moment we choose courage, grace, and intention.

Instead of waiting for the “perfect time,” the right opportunity, or someone’s approval, Dickinson reminds us that the life we desire begins with what we do today. Every small decision: setting a boundary, speaking up, prioritizing self-care, pursuing a dream creates ripples that build the future we’re hoping for.

Let this truth empower you to step into your worth right now. Not when things feel easier. Not when life slows down. Not when we “feel ready.”

But now.

When we honor the present, we honor ourselves. And when women honor themselves, the future becomes brighter, stronger, and more aligned with who we were always meant to be.

Take a moment today to choose one meaningful action; no matter how small that reflects the future you want. Write it down, speak it out loud, Your “now” matters more than you know.

Daily Affirmationđź’‹

“I honor my present, I shape my future, and every step I take today moves me closer to the woman I’m becoming.”

Live fearlessly,

Sassy State Of Mind💋…. Rising Above What You Can’t Control

Hello Sassy family! Let’s be real, life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Sometimes you think you’ve got everything under control, and then something unexpected knocks the wind out of you. Maybe it’s a job loss, a painful realization, or a situation that left you asking, “Why me?”

We’ve all had those moments that make us feel small, powerless, or completely thrown off balance. But here’s the beautiful truth: even when we can’t control what happens to us, we can control how we show up in the middle of it.

That’s exactly what Maya Angelou reminds us of in one of her most powerful quotes:

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” – Maya Angelou

Those words hit differently when life gets messy.

Because the truth is, there’s so much we can’t control. People will disappoint us, plans will fall apart, and life will throw curveballs we never saw coming. But every challenge gives us a choice: to let it break us down or build us up.

You have the power to decide whether your hardships will define or refine you.

When you choose not to be reduced by what you’ve been through, you’re reclaiming your peace. You’re saying, “Yes, this hurt. Yes, it was hard. But it’s not going to shrink me.”

Choosing not to be reduced doesn’t mean pretending everything’s fine. It means giving yourself permission to feel it, process it, and still move forward with your head held high. It’s standing in your truth and refusing to let pain harden your heart. It’s believing that you can still shine, even when life tries to dim your light.

Remember this: the same fire that burns can also build character.

So if life has thrown you into the fire lately, don’t lose heart. You’re being shaped, strengthened, and prepared for something greater. You may not control the storm, but you can decide to rise from it stronger, wiser, and more grounded in who you are.

Don’t let life’s events reduce you. Let them reveal the resilient, unstoppable woman you were created to be.

Empowering Reflection:

What situation once tried to reduce you, but instead revealed your strength?

Live Fearless and Be Unstoppable!

Love,

Sassy State of Mind💋…Dreams: Soul-Written Chapters of Your Future

Hello Sassy squad! Have you ever felt like your dreams are whispering something deeper about who you are becoming? I came across a quote that I had to share with you. It is a powerful reminder that your dreams, both the ones that come at night and the ones you hold in your heart, aren’t random. They’re glimpses of your purpose, passion, and potential.

Your soul is the author, and your life is the unfolding story. Every dream is a preview of what’s possible when you walk in alignment with your deepest truth. These dreams carry the voice of your inner wisdom before the world sees what’s written in your heart. That business idea, the book you want to write, the community you want to build, the love you want to share are not accidents. They are the soul’s narrative waiting to be lived out.

This quote calls you to listen more closely, believe more boldly, and walk more confidently. When you honor your dreams, you’re not chasing fantasies, you’re turning the pages of the story your soul is already writing.

Empowering Reflection:

What dream keeps nudging your spirit, no matter how much time passes? Could it be the next chapter your soul is ready to write?

Live fearless and dream big!

Love,

Sassy State of Mind💋…Living for Breathtaking Moments

Hello Sassy family! Have you ever found yourself simply going through the motions, checking boxes, and wondering if you’re truly living or just existing? I struggle with this all of the time.

Maya Angelou’s quote is a reminder that challenges us to shift our focus from merely surviving to fully embracing the experiences that ignite our souls.

We often carry many roles—caregiver, leader, friend, partner, dreamer. In the midst of our responsibilities, it’s easy to get lost in routines and miss the extraordinary moments life offers. But Maya’s words call us higher. They invite us to seek out joy, wonder, purpose, and moments that make our hearts race—not just tasks that fill our calendars.

How Do We Create Breathtaking Moments?

Be Present: Life’s magic often happens in the little things—a makeover, witnessing a sunrise, a simple victory after hard work. Slow down and notice them.

Take Bold Steps: The moments that take our breath away often require courage. Say yes to the adventure, speak up for yourself, pursue the passion that scares you.

Celebrate Yourself: You are worthy of joy, love, and awe-filled experiences. Don’t postpone your happiness waiting for a perfect time.

Maya Angelou’s wisdom pushes us to stop counting the days and start making the days count. You don’t need grand, cinematic moments to live fully—you need authentic, intentional ones that remind you you’re alive.

So, what’s one thing you can do today that will take your breath away?

Start there. Live there. Your life is waiting.

Live on purpose!

Love Always,

Sassy State of Mind💋…You Are More Powerful Than You Think

Hello my Sassy family! Have you ever felt powerless?

I have—more times than I’d like to admit. There have been seasons in my life where I underestimated my power, not because I didn’t have any, but because I got lost in how others see me or comparing myself to others. I allowed people’s perceptions of me to define my worth, placing myself in a box I didn’t belong in. I dimmed my light, silenced my voice, and questioned my own value—all because I forgot that I had power to begin with.

This quote is a reminder that personal power begins in the mind. Too often, people accept limitations that were never truly theirs—whether imposed by fear, society, past mistakes, or self-doubt.

We must reflect on the silent ways we surrender our influence and how reclaiming our power starts with believing in our worth, voice, and ability to create change.

You don’t have to be in a position of status to make an impact. Your thoughts, choices, and courage matter. Recognizing that you do have power—right now—is the first step toward living boldly, authentically, and purposefully.

Stop waiting for permission to be powerful. You already are.

Live fearless!

Love always,

Ronni Laurenđź’‹

Sassy State of Mind💋…Look How Far You’ve Come: A Celebration of Progress

“Always concentrate on how far you have come rather than how far you have left to go. The difference in how easy it seems will amaze you.” – Heidi Johnson

Hello Sassy family! This was laid on my heart to encourage anyone who may feel they are not as far in life as they should be. If that’s you today, know that you are not alone, and this message is just for you.

Let’s take a moment to breathe and look back—not in regret, but in celebration. This powerful quote by Heidi Johnson is a gentle nudge to shift our focus. Too often, we get caught up in how far we still need to go. But what if we flipped the script? What if we honored every step, every stumble, and every win that brought us here?

That change in perspective. It’s magic. Suddenly, the road ahead feels less overwhelming and more like a continuation of our amazing journey. So today, give yourself credit. You’ve come a long way—and that deserves a round of applause. Keep going, but don’t forget to look back and admire the view.

Stay sassy and fearless!

Love,

Sassy State of Mind💋… Standing Strong Together: The Power of Every Woman’s Voice

Hello and Happy Women’s History Month, Sassy Squad! To kick off the celebration of Women’s History Month, I couldn’t resist sharing this powerful quote with you. In a world that has historically worked to silence women’s voices, Maya Angelou’s words, “Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands for all women,” carry immense weight.

They remind us that each act of self-empowerment, each decision to rise and assert one’s rights, echoes far beyond the individual. When one woman finds her voice, it reverberates across generations, inspiring others to do the same.

This quote highlights that womanhood is not a solitary journey. When a woman stands tall—whether in her career, community, or personal life—she sets an example for others. Her strength becomes a guiding light for those struggling to find their place in the world.

Lastly, this quote serves as both a call to action and a reminder of the power inherent in every woman. When one woman stands up for herself, she is not only standing for her own rights, but for all women—past, present, and future. In every act of courage, we honor the women who came before us and pave the way for those who will follow. Let us embrace the power of standing tall, and let us never underestimate the ripple effect of our actions. Each time we rise, we rise together.

Live fearlessly!

Love Always,

Ronni Laurenđź’‹

Sassy State of Mind💋… The Power of Taking Action

Hello my Sassy squad! I came across another quote that I had to share with you. This simple yet powerful quote, often attributed to Amelia Earhart, perfectly captures the essence of action over hesitation. In a world where overthinking, fear, and self-doubt can easily paralyze us, this phrase serves as a reminder that success comes from doing—not just planning or dreaming.

Too often, we wait for the “perfect” time, the ideal circumstances, or enough confidence to begin. But the truth is, progress only happens when we take that first step. Whether it’s starting a new business, writing a book, or pursuing a passion, real growth comes from diving in, learning through experience, and adjusting along the way.

This mindset is especially crucial in today’s fast-paced world, where opportunities favor those who take initiative. By embracing action, we not only overcome fear but also build momentum, develop resilience, and gain clarity on our goals.

So, whatever you’ve been putting off—just do it. The best way to start is simply to begin. Let’s take the first step toward the lives we were always meant to live together.

Live fearlessly!

Sassy State of Mind💋…Redefining Success Starts Within

Hello my Sassy squad! I came across another quote that I had to share with you. Maya Angelou’s timeless quote, â€śSuccess is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it,” redefines success.

Unlike society’s traditional measures of wealth, status, or external validation, this quote reminds us that true success is deeply personal and rooted in self-acceptance, purpose, and integrity. To “like who yourself” means embracing your authentic self, imperfections and all. It’s about cultivating self-love and living in alignment with your values.

“Liking what you do” emphasizes pursuing work or passions that resonate with your heart and bring you fulfillment, rather than chasing external rewards. Finally, “liking how you do it” highlights the importance of acting with integrity and joy, ensuring that your approach to life reflects who you truly are.

Angelou’s definition encourages us to shift our focus inward, reminding us that real success is about living authentically, finding purpose, and being at peace with how we navigate the world. It’s a call to measure success not by what we achieve but by how fulfilled we feel in our own lives.

Live authentically!

Love,
