End of the Day



At the end of each day ask yourself these three questions as you lay your head on your pillow:

1. Did I live?
2. Did I love?
3. Did I matter?


Rate yourself from a 1-10 scale for each question.  If it is less than a five re-evaluate what you can do to make it a 10 tomorrow! 

This is what life is about! Not just "getting through" each day or working for the weekends! Live each day with a purpose and intention!

Feeling Blessed





I received this drawing from an amazing woman I met a few years ago. She comes to most of my Self Love Sister's Meetup Group events and now I proudly call her my friend! She completed a project for me I have been dreading (imputing hundreds of contacts and email addresses into my Constant Contact Database) and hid this picture inside the folder. Needless to say once I found it I was instantly in tears! I never equated sheets of names and email address to all the lives I've changed! Proof that what we do for others and how we treat them DOES indeed make an impact! How we approach those around us is vital to leaving our footprint in the world --which reminds me of a quote I love from Maya Angelou:



Takeaway: I know I've said this before but I'm going to say it again. Do your part. Spread joy not hate. Treat others how you would want to be treated. Leave a POSITIVE legacy behind you when you go! #bethelight
