The Power of Being an Olympian

We are amazed by the Olympic Athletes’ grace, strength, and courage. Many have faced and overcome loss, injury, and adversity.

 Their hope and endurance inspire us and demonstrate what is possible when you follow your dreams.

 Believe and you can do it!

Love

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, a Celebration of Love. It is a special holiday because it is filled with so many wonderful things … Love, flowers, chocolate, red hearts, romantic dinners, and beautiful moments.

 Kiss, Embrace, and Tell someone you love them … Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Favorite of Mine – Success by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better,

Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or, a redeemed social condition;

To have played with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

What Do You Do?

When people ask this, they generally want to know your occupation. It’s interesting that we are defined by our job. Although years ago surnames came from trades, like: Blacksmith, Carpenter, etc.

Currently, I don’t have a job. Sometimes I wonder, how should I respond? Often, I give a variety of answers. After talking with a friend, I decided a good answer for me is: “I show up with a smile and inspiration.”
