In the words of the Imagineer himself....

I just got back from Colorado, and I had a lot of time to think while I was up on those Rocky mountains......like we make so many lists; things to do, accomplish, make happen, aspire to. What if today we made a list of something different. What if today the list included things to "unlearn". Maybe to move forward we need to unlearn and get back to the basics of our heart's desires. What is that for you?

Feel like a carbon copy of someone else? You look around and everybody is doing what you do. That's ok! Nobody does it like you! And the thing is if you're going to keep looking to the left you're never going to move forward in your own lane. You have what it takes to be happy, successful, fulfilled and loved in this life so why are you comparing yourself to other people? Nobody is just like you. Nobody. Time to shine that light, friend; no one is like you!

We walk through this party of life wondering how did we get here, where are we going and what do we do next?

We are so many things in a lifetime it's hard to catch up! Dreams in our heart and love on our lips, yet we forget to thank the person who got us there in the first place.....YOU! I am beautiful. I am intelligent. I am driven. I am focused. Let's dive into some I AM affirmations (and a whole bunch of other feel-good moments) to remind ourselves just how far we've come and that we, too, deserve the love we so freely give to others. I AM love, and so ARE YOU!

Waiting for Friday? Sure, it's a thing, but should it be? Could it be that we are wishing our lives away? Let's talk about it.

A wish is something you want. A dream is something you go after. You can wish all you want for things, but until you count yourself in on winning and going all in for that win, your dream remains just that.... a wish. Stop wishing, friend and get in the game. The world is waiting for you! "Dreams aren't what you leave behind when morning comes. They are the stuff that fill your every living moment."-David Cuschieri

Welcome back to your weekly bonus mini! Just enough to fill your cup and bring a smile to your heart. This week we find ourselves in a new year, but does it mean we have to be new? Can we simply walk into this moment gently, perhaps letting go of what no longer serves us and growing in a direction that brings us more joy and happiness? Is it possible to "become" without having to completely become undone? What if self-love and compassion was on the top of our list of priorities this year to serve our souls with more grace. Can you still reach your goals being gentle with yourself? Let's talk about it. "When you realize your self-worth, you stop giving people discounts."~unknown

Wherever you go you leave a trail of footprints, some raw and unfiltered, some planned. But where you go and how you get there isn't quite as important as the way in which you step. So what story are you trying to tell with the footprints you leave behind?
"You can't leave a footprint that lasts if you are always walking on tiptoe." -Marion C. Blakely
