#10 “Don’t give up 5 minutes Before the Miracle” – Barbara Niven
Kim Peterson #425womentowatch

 

Well over a decade ago the words my friend Barbara Niven said to me took root, “Don’t give up 5 minutes before your miracle, Kim.”…and I’m so glad I didn’t.

No matter what, don’t YOU give up either!

There ARE modern day miracles happening all around you!  Chains ARE breaking and new levels of freedom ARE being experienced by everyday people…right here in the 425 and beyond!

Shelby Moyer, 425 Magazine’s editor wrote that I was a “phoenix rising from the ashes”, and what I believe to be true is this:  In spite of my adverse beginnings and the horrible things I have experienced in my lifetime, and in spite of the poor choices I’ve made in my life…my story has been redeemed and I believe it was God, with his sufficient grace, who has created beauty from my ashes.

While I started my business homeless and immobilized by fear 18 years ago, today I am living out my calling and purpose, championing individuals who are ready to own their unique genius and step into the fullness of who they were created to be as a Personal Brand & Style Strategist, Coach and Speaker.

Though I have much still to learn and I have not arrived, life feels enriching, fulfilling, peaceful, and full of wonder and unexpected gifts – both personally and professionally.

A new chapter IS being written as I connect the dots between “the miracles” swirling around me and I reach deep for courage to continue to be my authentic self – unapologetically me.

 

Doctor Prescott, AKA “The Doctor”

 

I do believe…at 46 years old, my best years are still very much ahead of me!

Being married to Kelly Peterson has been one of my greatest joys…and if you heard that full story, you would learn of the #miracle there too!  Our relationship was “hope deferred”, yet after 21 years of workin’ through layers of stuff, it became “a longing fulfilled” …and on July 4, 2013 we said “I do!!!”

Make no mistake…it hasn’t always been rosy!

Though far and few between, we still have arguments, but because we’re both committed to “love well”, we’re softening the edges and figuring it out.  …Sadly, we have also experienced, and have come to terms with, the losses from 3 miscarriages in the early years of our marriage.

That said, while we volunteer with kiddos, love our nieces & nephews and have become Auntie Kim & Uncle Kelly to our friends children…we are excited to be expanding our family with our soon-to-arrive Bernadoodle puppy, Doctor Prescott!

We think he is pretty awesome – uniquely savvy in every way so far- from his personality to his harmonious personal coloring…and we cannot wait to snuggle him!!!

Kelly and I have been anticipating his birth and arrival for about 2 years now…and in 15 days we get to fly to pick him up and bring him into to his forever home and family!

So, what’s your story?

In sharing these “10 Keys to Activate H.O.P.E in Your Life Right Now” over the last couple of weeks, I’ve used my personal story as the back drop to give you words to sustain you if you are weary, to illustrate that regardless of anything, we are #NotDefined by our past or current circumstances, and to demonstrate the power of HOPE. There is (H)ealing in store for you and it WILL lead to your (O)vercoming, which will reveal new (P)ossibilities that will begin to shape your unique (P)urpose…and the expectancy that your best IS yet to come!

No matter your back story, no matter the jagged layers of it…don’t give up 5 minutes before YOUR miracle. You never know what is being beautifully created for you, right around the corner. …Look for the miracles, the inspiration, and thes stories of overcoming all around you. They are there.

Lift your head up.

Insist on H.O.P.E.

YOUR BEST IS YET TO COME!
