If God Gave Report Cards
I found some of my elementary school report cards today while cleaning. That was definitely a squirrel in my plan to not get distracted!
The last time I looked at these was when my Mom passed and we were clearing out her home. Back then I only looked at the grades which were just S for satisfactory, S+ for a little better than satisfactory and O for outstanding. I remember thinking that I hadn't gotten as many Os as I had wished.  Lol. 

This time I read the teacher's comments, even the faded ones that were barely legible. I could see the kindness and care they took to be encouraging and to sprinkle in compliments wherever they could. The word delightful made me smile. But a few of their notes hit me me hard:

  • Kelly wants so badly to do her best..
  • Kelly tries very hard
  • Kelly could use more self esteem about her abilities
  • Kelly often needs reassurance that she is doing things right
Gah!! That was all written about 5-9 year old me. I was already striving, trying desperately to not be inadequate or disappoint others or maybe to live up to the example of my 4 older smarty pants sisters.

It's so sad to me that my silly, sweet little self was so focused on grades that she didn't realize her true gifts. By most standards I was pretty smart but all I did was compare myself to the smarter kids in class or to my siblings. I often felt like I didn’t belong with the “smart kids”.
Now.. in this moment I know that God is trying to show me something wonderful in having me find these report cards…the day after attending a Christian Women's group where I journaled about not wanting to define my worth by what I do,  or how much I make or how many people want my health advice. 

I think God is telling me that the only Ss and Os that really matter are the ones that come from Him.
So how am I doing with His assignments? How well am I loving? How fully am I following? How closely am I abiding?

I wonder what kind of encouraging but truthful comments He would write if He had to give me a report card. I'm half afraid but also really want to know! 
When was your last parent/teacher conference with your creator? I think I'm due for one!

Meet Kelly Molloy

 
After 18 years as a Certified Health Coach, I’ve come to a powerful realization: true health isn’t just about eating clean and staying active. Even the most disciplined individuals can experience declining health due to the prolonged effects of toxins and stress.

If you're struggling with stubborn weight, digestive issues, poor sleep, chronic pain, or emotional imbalance—you’re not alone. 

Maybe diet and lifestyle changes have helped in some areas, but not in others. That’s often because something deeper is going on. High cortisol levels may be sabotaging your progress, and the more you push, the harder it gets. On top of that, you may be unknowingly exposed to toxins in your everyday environment—things that quietly undermine your best efforts.

That combination—cortisol imbalance and toxic load—can feel like a brick wall standing between you and your health goals. I know this firsthand, because I lived it for years... and the struggle was very real.

I wish I could tell you it’s easy to be healthy in today’s world—but it’s not. The poisons and pressures are stacked against us. But here’s the good news: I’ve walked this road, and I truly believe it’s my calling to walk it with you. To lock arms, to share what’s worked, and to help lighten the load.

No, we won’t reach perfection. We won’t have a 100% toxin-free body or home. But in striving for it, we can absolutely reach excellence—and that means more joy, more energy, and more peace in your everyday life.

If you’re ready for that kind of shift... I’m here. Let’s get you started! - Kelly
