This is one of my all time favorite quotes. As you begin a new week, I encourage you to think about others. Set aside your selfish feelings of how they could be better, do more and fulfill your needs. Instead, be kind, reach out to them, be selfless and strive to meet their needs! You never know what another person is going through, or the story that makes them who they are. Love others! I attended church this morning and the message moved me, oh how I fail daily. Thank you Jesus for your grace! We can walk down a grocery store isle and be annoyed that someone is in the middle, yet they may be broken, moments away from tears and our grace may be all they need to get through that encounter. When is the last time you honked at someone on the crowded freeway or used words you shouldn’t in anger over frustrating circumstances? Raising my hand here in complete honesty — this is me! Did you lose patience with your child? Your friend? Your spouse? Everyday I give myself a pep talk of what I could do better!
The Grind
Unapologetically
"Do your thing. Do it unapologetically. Don't be discouraged by criticism. You probably already know what they're going to say. Pay no mind to fear of failure. It's far more valuable than success. Take ownership, take chances, and have fun. And no matter what, don't ever stop doing your thing."
Don't Be Beautiful
They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be.
But honestly? Forget that. Don't be beautiful.
Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny
be adventurous, be crazy, be talented, be kind ---
there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful.
And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word?
Be your own definition of amazing, always.
That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.

Be A Woman ...
I read this today and it motivated me ~
I am big on relationships and I think this is perfect!
Kindness
Ah,
Kindness.
What a simple
way to tell another
struggling soul that there
is LOVE to be
found in this world.
____________________
Every act of kindness grows the spirit
and strengthens the soul.

May we never forget as humans to be kind. The world tries to define our character, but stay true to yourself. If someone is unkind, respond with kindness. If you have an empty tank and are drained emotionally, share your smile. When someone is on your nerves, be patient. Kindness is never wasted, and even the smallest acts of kindness, gifts from the heart or a loving attitude go a long way in a world full chaos.
Never Had To Wonder
"She was a little all over the place,
That was for sure!
But the good news is that when she LOVED,
she loved BIG.
And if she loved you,
You knew she loved you!
You never had to wonder. "
Cheers to 2017! Love BIG this year!

Mindful Moments
This saying is displayed in my sons pediatric therapy office ... and I love reading it every time I take him. For the record this is 3 days each week for 4 appointments ~ a perfect smile to my soul that good things never get old.
Each and every thing,
each and every person,
is totally unique.
When we compare them to something else,
we no longer see them
for what they are.
Happy New Year

As I close the chapter on 2015, I want to take a moment and say thank you to my friends and family for the support and love they have given me in many ways! I am excited for 2016 and am moving forward with no expectations or particular resolutions ... not because I don't have goals but because I do not want to limit what may present itself to me! I believe 2016 is going to be a big year, and I am looking forward to change, growth and living!
