What If You're Not The Problem?

In Day 21 of 30, Part 2 of Finding My Peace, I continue restoring my artwork, "After The Tide", after it fell from the wall and cracked into pieces.[ Artwork Now For Sale - https://TheBarefootViolinist.com]Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/Y4yz-y1VG48What started as a broken art piece became a powerful reminder that sometimes healing takes time, patience, and the willingness to fill the gaps we can see - and even the little creases and crevices we didn’t notice at first.Using sand from South Shore Country Club beach, glue, and a whole lot of patience, I worked for over an hour repairing the broken spaces. And while I was filling those cracks, God reminded me that restoration does not always erase what happened, but it can make something stronger, deeper, and even more beautiful than before.Have you ever created something, built something, loved something, or hoped for something - and then it fell apart?Don’t leave it broken. Do the work. Let God fill the gaps. Be-Mighty.BMMT: Body, Mind, Movement, Truth.I’m Regina Williams, The Barefoot Violinist, and this is Rethinking Weight - helping you release the weights of life physically, mentally, and emotionally.Come back tomorrow for Weigh-In Monday. Will it be a happy scale or a mad scale?https://RethinkingWeight.com

Today is Day 20 of 30 of my Rethinking Weight journey, and it’s Show Up Saturday!For today’s movement, I’m using a Rotator Machine Arm Workout Equipment, also known as an arm rotator machine, forearm trainer, shoulder strength trainer, or spinning arm trainer.This small but mighty workout tool helps target the forearms, wrists, grip, arms, shoulders, upper-body endurance, coordination, and control. It may look simple, but when you use it with intention, it can bring a real burn.This workout is not about punishment. It’s not about doing the most. It’s about showing up, moving with control, and building strength one rotation at a time.This is Be-Mighty in action:Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.Whether you do three minutes, five minutes, or the full workout, remember — showing up counts.🎻 Music by The Barefoot Violinist🌐 Visit: https://RethinkingWeight.com🎁 Grab your FREE gift on the homepageYoutube Video: https://youtu.be/VH0Inud_6u0

Today is Day 19 of 30 - Find Your Peace Friday, and I’m finding my peace through painting.But today’s painting moment came with a message. One of my art pieces fell and broke, and instead of throwing it away, I decided to mend it back together. And as I worked with the broken pieces, I started thinking about how God does the same with us.Sometimes life breaks us. Sometimes we fall. Sometimes we crack in places nobody can see. And even when we are mended, we may not look exactly the same as before, but that does not mean we are no longer valuable, beautiful, or useful.This episode is about finding peace, resetting your heart, and remembering that broken does not mean finished. God can mend what feels shattered, and sometimes the repaired places become part of the testimony.So today, take a breath, find your peace, and remember: you are still becoming.BMMT - Be-Mighty:Body. Mind. Movement. Truth.Today’s truth: God can meet us in the broken places and help us heal, reset, and keep going.🎻 Music by The Barefoot Violinist🌐 Visit: https://RethinkingWeight.com🎁 Grab your FREE Gift on the homepageYoutube Video: https://youtu.be/-kiq8w2fFpw

Day 18 of 30 - was truly a night to remember.Today was all about showing up, being present, and supporting young musicians. I attended a beautiful senior recital at The Chicago Academy of the Arts, featuring percussionist Mireya Ross - and what made it even more special is that the entire evening was completely produced by Mireya herself.From the music selections to the musicians she chose to accompany her, the night was filled with creativity, excellence, and heart. There is something powerful about watching young artists step into their gift with confidence, discipline, and passion.As The Barefoot Violinist, I know how much it matters when people show up for the arts. A recital is not just a performance. It is the result of practice, courage, sacrifice, preparation, and the beautiful decision to share your gift with the world.And today, I’m still being Be-Mighty - Body, Mind, Movement, and Truth.Body: I showed up and was present.Mind: I was inspired by the next generation of musicians.Movement: Music moved through the room in so many beautiful ways.Truth: Supporting young artists matters.This is Rethinking Weight - releasing the weight physically, emotionally, and mentally, while making room for joy, creativity, purpose, and community.🎻 Music by The Barefoot Violinist🌐 Visit: https://RethinkingWeight.com🪡 Clothing Design by ArtbyHUI.com🎁 Grab your FREE Gift on the homepageYoutube Video: https://youtu.be/eoBIEgiqvRg

Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/C9zl_8wdkusDay 17 of 30 - Today was one of those gloomy days where the sky felt heavy, the mood felt quiet, and I knew I needed to shift the atmosphere.So I decided to be intentional.I picked up my violin, turned on some house music, and said, “Let’s bring a little sunshine in here.”And would you believe it? While I was playing, the sun came out. Then when I stopped playing, the sun disappeared again.Now, I’m not saying the violin did it… but I’m not saying it didn’t either. 😄That’s what Day 17 is about: choosing joy on purpose, creating energy when the day feels low, and remembering that movement, music, and mindset can help us shift the room we’re standing in.I’m still Be-Mighty today - Body, Mind, Movement, and Truth.Body: I showed up.Mind: I chose a better thought.Movement: I let the music move through me.Truth: Even on gloomy days, I can bring my own light.This is Rethinking Weight - releasing the weight physically, emotionally, and mentally, one intentional day at a time.🎻 Music by The Barefoot Violinist🧵 Clothing Design by ArtbyHUI.com🌐 Visit: https://RethinkingWeight.com🎁 Grab your FREE Gift on the homepage
