“I think when people say they dread going into work on Monday morning, it’s because they know they are leaving a piece of themselves at home. Why not see what happens when you challenge your employees to bring all of their talents to their job and reward them not for doing it just like everyone else, but for pushing the envelope, being adventurous, creative, and open-minded, and trying new things?”

— Tony Hsieh, Delivering Happiness

“You have all these secret thoughts and ideas pent up inside you that you want to share so badly, but have no one to share them with. You don’t dare trust just anyone with them, and you’re frightened to let someone see what lurks beneath. Yet, you’re curious, you want to be heard, you want to be seen, you just don’t know how.”

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

— Audrey Hepburn

Your journey in life has several parts and a variety of levels. I’m learning to master the art of stillness and gratefulness, all while appreciating that everything I go through that are both uncomfortable and comfortable is preparation for that next level. I appreciate the importance of letting go and flowing with the spirit for where my path is taking me. Y’all it’s beautiful when you don’t quite understand what’s happening, but when you know that it’s big and that you’ll gain great joy from it. So don’t get stuck in discouragement, because it doesn’t look or feel like you want it to. It’s going to look better and feel supernaturally amazing when you reach the destination on that part of your journey. Praise him for the “yes”. Don’t complain about the “wait”. And always thank him for the “no”. Your blessing is in all of that, I promise. But you will only see it, if you choose to see it. Much love to you all on this beautiful day.
