WOW! I was blown away by the huge response from last week's post on Procrastination.
Thanks to everyone who shared so openly and honestly about the problems you've been facing. I have been praying for each of you - asking God to give you a supernatural boost of determination, when you get stuck in that rut of putting off.
He wants you to propel forward toward your life goals and so do I. I know it's not easy, but it is possible!
Now, for the fun part. Drum roll please....

Do you find yourself procrastinating a lot lately? Is there something on your to-do list that keeps getting pushed aside? Have the words, "Oh, I'll do that tomorrow", slipped out of your mouth more than once this week?
If so, maybe you have a problem with procrastination. Or, if you're like me, you might even say you're an expert at procrastinating!
A recent study from the University of Calgary shows that 95% of the total population (yes, men and women) struggle with "postponement" issues. Simply put...we are a ProcrastiNATION! So, the good news is you're not alone.
Now, don't get discouraged. Instead, check out the video below where I'll answer three basic questions:
Why do we procrastinate? What happens when we procrastinate? What does the Bible say about procrastination?
Then, I'll give you some helpful tips on how to stop putting off and starts propelling forward! Video Session One:

Are you feeling discouraged today? Maybe someone or a certain situation has failed to meet your expectations. Maybe life just isn't turning out the way you had planned.
I understand and that's why I'm launching mynew video series with a short clip about Discouragement. We all experience it and when life throws us a heavy punch, we can be left feeling heavy-hearted, lonely and completely frustrated. Can you relate?
I hope you enjoy the video and that it encourages you today! Be sure to leave a comment so that you're eligible for my giveaway. I have a SIGNED copy of Renee Swope's book, A Confident Heart that someone is going to win. Maybe that someone will be YOU!!
Well, it looks like the video cut off the last few seconds of my comments but no worries, you didn't miss anything real important.

I'm so excited about the new video series I'll be launching tomorrow called,"Life Lessons with Leah".
Through this new series I'm hoping to offer some practical tips and Biblical insight on topics that we, as women, deal with on an on-going basis. Tomorrow, I'll be talking about Discouragement.
Do you get discouraged sometimes? I sure do! And, it can zap the life right out of me!
But, I'm learning from my mistakes and want to share some tow-to's with you, so that you can turn things around quicker and enjoy the wonderful life sooner, that God has designed just for you.
Join me tomorrow and let's talk about how we can face discouragement head-on and turn it around for our good, so that we can start encouraging one another.
I'm starting a new video series this week and would love for you to join me!I'm calling it Life Lessons with Leah - sort of catchy, huh? Each week I'll be posting a short video that will cover a specific topic that women can identify with. Similar to these topics...
* Why Do We Procrastinate?
* How to Maximize Our Time
* Dealing with Fear and Anxiety
* Being Consistent
* Making Wise Choices
* Letting Go of Guilt
and so much more...
Take a sneak peak and watch this video:
I"m hoping that through this video series, we can create an online community of women, that will encourage one another while sharing about "hot topics" that effect us all.
We are busy women with busy schedules but I'm certain that many of our struggles are very similar. Life can be so challenging but with the help of friends (yes, even online friends), we can make a difference in each others lives.
Will you join me? I hope you do and don't forget to invite a friend, sister, mom, or daughter along for the adventure. See you next Wednesday!
Thank you for stopping by. I'm thrilled that you would take time out of your busy day to visit with me for a while. If you have a minute, please leave a comment. I love meeting new friends and would really enjoy hearing from you.
