Becoming is a lifelong journey. Don’t stop inventing, re-inventing and getting to know yourself.
Pace yourself,
listen to yourself,
trust yourself and
find some joy in every chapter of your journey.

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.

Honor Yourself to Better Serve Others
You are the captain of your ship, and therefore of your wellbeing, your purpose and your journey.
Love without condition while still exercising wisdom.
Give generously while setting appropriate boundaries.
Dream big and don’t settle. It may take time, but the time will be just right.
Say no when doing so gives you the space to practice self-care.
Lean into “not now” when this will keep you safer rather than sorry.
However, always say yes to honoring your intuition, character and integrity – even when this means standing alone.
Be willing to sacrifice short-term gains in order to experience lasting blessings.
Know that you are worthy and embrace this truth with confidence and contentment.
Stay the Course
As we settle into fall and and race toward the end of the year, don’t fret over what you haven’t yet checked off your list of goals; be grateful for what you have managed to achieve, and more importantly, for how you’ve grown.
Assess how you’ve nurtured, cared for, loved or mentored others, and give thanks for those who have poured some measure of tenderness and time into you.
Lean into all that fall holds and don’t stop striving. Stay the course in becoming.
Cherish those who cherish you, yet love everyone unconditionally.
Generously support and serve others, yet set boundaries to protect your self-care.
Forgive and forge ahead. Laugh and lighten up.
Dance or walk in the rain. Take chances and embrace joy.
Appreciate each day and embrace the lessons that this season, and previous ones, have offered.
Make peace with your present. Set new goals and arch toward new moutains.
Whatever you do, don’t dim your shine. As someone once said, keep being the light you are and others’ eyes will adjust.
You, me – we – are imperfectly human. But we’re here! And as long as we have breath, we’re meant to stay the course.
