Be Who You Dream of Becoming

Just imagine…

The rewards that would come  with pushing past fear, 

with setting boundaries that align with our goals or needs, 

with trusting that as long as we stay on our path, what’s meant for us will meet

us on destiny’s road.

Below is a snippet of my conversation on this topic with my friends at Virginia

This Morning, Richmond’s only morning TV news show, hosted on WTVR CBS 6.

Like you, we’re still striving for consistency. As we work toward our goals,

we’re reminding ourselves – and all of us – that there can be joy along the journey.

Reasons to Say Thank You

Take some time throughout this day to pay attention to the simple things….

The sound of a bird chirping or a baby laughing;

that funny meme that landed in your text thread 

or the brief check-in call from a friend;

The hug from your teenager or toddler, 

or email from your mentor;

the wind gently swaying in the trees,

and the taste of your favorite ice cream.

The thoughtful compliment,

the genuine smile, 

the words of encouragement arriving at just the time you need them. 

Nothing is as random as we may think; 

yet even when it feels that way, 

we get to say thank you.

The Good in Each Day

Life is too short to live on someone else’s terms. Be your authentic self no matter what, and you’ll find yourself living a life you love. 

Dreams will become your truth,

wishes will become your reality,

wonder will become part of your routine.

Live an “untapped life” by doing your best to find something good about each day, no matter what, and by contributing something meaningful to each day, no matter how modest.
