Mean What You Say and Say What You Do

Mean What You Say and Say What You Do 

Hey there, welcome to today’s post!

Hi, I’m Elizabeth. You may know me from Elizabeth Magical Garden on YouTube or from my podcast, Elizabeth Magical Garden Podcast—also on YouTube.

words of love 

This morning, I was reading poetry from Maya Angelou, something I’ve grown accustomed to lately, alongside a stiff black cup of coffee. I know, so NYC—but hey, that’s me!

In today’s poem, Maya Angelou discusses how words on paper are well received, but it’s the words that come out of a person’s mouth that truly bring them to life. It struck me—not because I wasn’t aware of it, but because of how profoundly true it is.

For years, I’ve personally felt this way. So much so that I would get on the nerves of close friends when they’d blurt something out. I would say in a loud but loving voice: “DON’T SAY THAT! YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL!”

Sometimes I’d get a thank you. Other times… well, not so much.

Time is on Your Side

Time is on Your Side

Many people today are afraid of time passing them by—and rightfully so. With the ongoing demands of work, life challenges, and endless to-do lists, not having enough time feels like a constant struggle.

But here’s what I’ve noticed over the years of speaking to countless women: whenever they set time aside in their calendar to plan out and set intentions—whether it be for a new project or for a goal not yet realized—they were able to gain momentum.

This led me to ask a powerful question: Is it a lack of time, or a lack of planning?

The Power of Planning

Studies show that setting time to plan out the week ahead not only builds momentum—it also alleviates the brain from having to overthink. See, when you take time to write down your goals, you free up mental space. Think about it: it’s one less thing to think about, giving you more freedom to move forward with what really matters—your dreams.

It’s hard to be creative or productive if you have cloudy judgment. When you write things down, you have a clear understanding of what you want out of life.

Real Transformation

This practice has been a huge influence for the women I’ve worked with over the years. They’ve discovered that time is what you make of it, and planning ahead is what truly matters.

So the next time worry about your future comes up, take a deep breath and write down your thoughts. You’ll feel better about yourself and your future. Time is on your side when you take control of it.

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Your Opportunity to Win: Turning “What If” Into “What Is” 🌟

Your Opportunity to Win: Turning “What If” Into “What Is” 🌟

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why most people never pursue their dreams? Whether it’s writing a bestseller, flying across the country to start a school for children in need, or building the family of their dreams—the kind with a loving partner, children, a dog, and that white picket fence—why do so many dreams remain locked away, never given a chance to breathe?

Here’s what I believe: most people are afraid.

Afraid of themselves. Afraid of what others will think. And most of all, afraid of the outcome.

The Paralyzing Power of “What If” 💭

Studies show that people often become paralyzed by the thought of potential outcomes. You know the ones I’m talking about—the relentless “what ifs” that play on repeat in your mind:

  • “What if I don’t make it?”
  • “What if I’m a bad parent?”
  • “What if I fail at this new career?”

Welcome Back to the Podcast: The Framework That Will Change Everything 🌟

Welcome Back to the Podcast: The Framework That Will Change Everything 🌟

Hi, my name is Elizabeth from Elizabeth Magical Garden, a magical garden reaching from the stars. Welcome back! Today, I’m bringing you a framework that will transform your life—not just theory, but your actual roadmap to living the life you’ve always dreamed of.

Let me break it down into five powerful pillars that will guide you toward your dream life.Pillar #1: Clarity — Define Your Dream 🎯

You can’t hit a target you can’t see.

I’m going to repeat that: You can’t hit a target you can’t see.

Whenever you have a dream, the first thing you must do is visualize it. God has allowed us to be creators because we came from Him. So the first step to living your dream life is getting crystal clear on what that dream actually looks like.

Not what your parents want. Not what society expects. What you truly desire.

Action Steps:

It’s Right in Front of You—Use It! 🦸‍♀️

It’s Right in Front of You—Use It! 🦸‍♀️

Every day, I do my best to look back and reflect on what worked and what felt like a struggle. This past week, I took a huge step forward—one that has the power to change life as I know it.

But here’s the thing: instead of feeling over-the-moon excited, I’ve been moving in slow motion. And honestly? That’s funny to me, given the gravity of the move I just made.

It got me thinking: Why do people often feel a different emotion than expected when they finally achieve a goal?

The Shift After the Pursuit 🎯

Here’s what I believe: once a goal is achieved—any goal—the shift happens. The energy of pursuing transforms into something else entirely.

I’d compare this to a crush. Think about it.

Are You in the Dark?

Are You in the Dark?

Shadow work has become almost a household name—and for good reason. It’s something that is absolutely needed if you want to 10x your life. You know the old saying: your past determines your future. Some may not agree with this statement, but it’s true.

In order for you to 10x your life, you need a clear vision. And what will help you gain clarity better than shadow work? Over two decades ago, I was first acquainted with this concept. I had some knowledge of the subconscious, but I had no idea what lies beneath—not until I started doing the inner work was I confronted with my shadow.

Then and only then did I start to see significant changes in my life.

See, a lot of the time we believe that we’re over the things that had an impact on our life. This isn’t to make you feel bad—this is to shed some light on why you are probably feeling stuck or why you’re not able to get to the next level in your life.

Yeah, you’ve probably created a life you’re proud of, especially if you’re transitioning into a new season in your life. This is when you’ll start to notice unresolved issues resurfacing.

One Life, One Moment

One Life, One Moment

“Time is the most precious gift we’ve been given—don’t wait for permission to unwrap it.”

Imagine you had just one day to decide: Would you finally live the life you’ve always dreamed of? Would you seize the moment, or would you ask for more time—as if time were something handed out like candy at a parade?

“The clock doesn’t pause for anyone—but you can choose to be present for every tick.”

The truth is, many of us would ask for more time. We’ve grown comfortable believing there’s always tomorrow. But here’s what we don’t realize: time is slipping through our fingers right now. While we scroll through social media feeds, comparing our lives to highlight reels, real life—the one happening outside our screens—is passing us by.

The Illusion of “Someday”

Write Your Joy: Journaling Prompts for Embracing Life’s Fleeting Beauty

Write Your Joy: Journaling Prompts for Embracing Life’s Fleeting Beauty

As we get older, life can feel as if it’s passing us by—not to mention our beauty. But what if I told you that the way we perceive aging can completely transform our experience of it?

One of the things that has helped me see things from a different perspective and maintain a positive outlook is self-care. There is something to be said about sitting in front of the mirror and doing my skincare, applying makeup, giving myself a facial, or simply saying my affirmations. These practices have allowed me to embrace the aging process with grace and gratitude.

The Power of Morning Gratitude

Another thing that has profoundly helped me is making sure to give gratitude first thing in the morning. In fact, it’s usually my opening statement when I write in my journal.

Studies show that when you start the day with gratitude, the rest of the day flows better. Giving gratitude puts you in a frame of mind that allows you to see and receive life’s challenges from a new perspective.

Doing this not only gives you peace of mind, but it also allows you to harness positive energy—leading to a transformative daily lifestyle that encompasses personal growth and helps you unlock your spiritual path.

I believe God hears our hearts and loves when we show appreciation for the life He gives us—something that you start to appreciate more and more as you age.

Being Kind Won’t Cost You a Thing

Being Kind Won’t Cost You a Thing

Many people tend to think that kindness comes from receiving equal parts of good on both sides, only to be let down when they find out the kindness they’ve given was one-sided. This usually provokes them to say to themselves, “Well, I’m going to act like the person and rescind their kindness.” Unfortunately, many people feel this way, leaving people disheartened, discouraged, and lonely.

I remember a time when I had to go to the post office to mail off a package to a loved one. I’d never sent off a package that size before; I was a bit confused about where to place the label. When I brought it back to the window, not only did the postal lady speak to me in an unhealthy tone, she wouldn’t listen to any of the questions I was asking beforehand that might have helped me from making the error in the first place.

When Sorry Doesn’t Mean Anything: The Power of Perspective in Conflict

Every day, people navigate situations where apologies feel hollow or never come at all. Whether it’s something said in haste, a point made incorrectly, or even cultural dynamics where hierarchy trumps truth—yes, it’s wild, but it’s real—we’ve all been there.

So what should you do when confronted with this situation?
