The present moment is a G.I.F.T.

GRATITUDE. INTENTION. FAITH. TESTIMONY.

Over the years, I’ve realized that the most precious asset that we have is our time. Whether it’s with family, friends, work, leisure, or our Creator, we give ourselves over to the moment and, if we’re at our best, we are present to whatever may come. My life experience and career have afforded me the opportunity to understand what it truly means to be in the moment and what the costs are if I’m not. The conclusion: a philosophy I like to call Now The Present. In a day and age where our attention is being tracked, manipulated, weaponized, and utilized by many different interests, I realized how challenging it has become to stay present. Truly present. Good, bad or indifferent. Fomo, irrational worry, taking risks, or simply giving ourselves permission to take the time has become a luxury. Now The Present addresses these challenges by implementing the G.I.F.T. practice. We all have gifts…now is your time to share yours!

Everyone knows it. Practicing gratitude is a powerful tool for enhancing your overall well-being. When should you do this…NOW! I Dare You! Write, say, or shout something that you’re grateful for.

One of my favorite quotes is: “Our intention creates our reality. “ by Dr. Wayne Dyer. However, creating a clear, specific purpose is not always that simple when we are at the whims of the world that wants to pull us in so many different directions. A great place to start is right after a gratitude practice. You are NOW primed with humility and appreciation for where you are this very moment. Feel that abundance, grab a note pad, and give yourself permission to set the intention for the day or your life. Remember, intention without action is just a wish.

Right now, my journey is defined by faith—trusting in what I can’t yet see, leaning into God’s plan, and embracing each step with purpose and gratitude. It’s what has led me to create this practice and the passion to serve others. There was a time when I felt I had to hide my belief in Jesus. Fearing that I would be judged or not accepted - an obstacle that kept me pulled back and not living out the fullness of who I really am. NOW, my faith has opened me up to become more outspoken and courageous about how God is continuously at work in my life - if I just allow him to be PRESENT. The G.I.F.T. practice’s cornerstone is our Faith practice. It is what will propel us to take action and live out a truly meaningful and fulfilled life.

Just like the gifts that we all have, we also have our own stories. Stories are the way we look at life, how we frame it and how we engage in it. Some of our stories are tragic and some are inspiring - they all contribute to the richness of how we live out our lives day to day. Hearing someone’s story can often lead us to take action in a different direction-encouraging us in the moment and lifting us up to see how God can work in our lives-if we just allow Him. The last part in the G.I.F.T. practice is to construct our own testimony of how living a life of Gratitude, Intention, and Faith has led us to where we PRESENTLY are. This final step will not only serve you and your dreams but will also pay it forward to others who are seeking to take action and live a more fulfilled and peaceful life, moment to moment.
