"I would have lost heart unless I believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
NKJ Psalm 27:13
Mission Statement
I create resources that offer practical support, fresh perspective, and lasting hope — one page, one conversation, and one step at a time. If you’re looking for encouragement, actionable tools, and gentle reminders that meaningful change is possible, you’ll find them here.
Welcome! I'm Elizabeth Reames — author, Christian Life Coach, and creator of practical resources designed to help people navigate life's most meaningful relationships and emotionally challenging seasons with greater peace, wisdom, and hope.
Whether you're preparing for a holiday gathering, strengthening a relationship, blending families, or navigating a new chapter in life, my goal is to provide thoughtful, easy-to-use guides that encourage reflection, emotional resilience, and healthy connection.
On this site you'll find two collections of resources. The first includes professionally designed client resources, including the Holiday Grounding Guide, created to help healthcare, counseling, wellness, and other service professionals extend their care with thoughtful, practical support their clients can use beyond the appointment. The Relationship 911 series for individuals and couples offers special emphasis on second and subsequent marriages, blended families, and building lasting, healthy relationships.
My passion comes from both professional experience and personal journey. I believe our past does not define our future. Growth is always possible when we approach life with humility, a teachable heart, and the willingness to keep moving forward.
"I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." — Psalm 27:13
My Mission
I'm The Sweetheart Sage, avid music lover, Christian Life Coach and Author. Thank you for stopping by my home online.
My books are primarily for couples who are currently in, or are seriously considering, second or subsequent marriages or significant partnerships.
Relationships of this nature can be both wonderful and very challenging, especially if you're blending a family.
If you believe in Do-Overs, Forgiveness, and Redemption you’ll find a warm welcome here and plenty of room to grow.
Teachable hearts can learn from relational transgressions (offenses) and use that knowledge as a stepping stone to build a dynamic partnership whether it’s a second, third, or even fourth significant relationship.
Because of our humanity, evil delights at the prospect of throwing perceived failures up in our faces again and again. Sadly, you may have experienced this type of judgment and disapproval from people of faith, even. I am here to encourage couples who are where you are, because of where I have been.
Ignore the disdain. No one but Jesus was perfect. Look to God, the Author and Finisher of our faith and He will help you focus on the future, and bring others to walk alongside to assist you. Persevere when you encounter bumps in the path and partner with the Holy Spirit, remembering this:
"I would have lost heart unless I believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” NKJ Psalm 27:13
