It’s a new opportunity…
Good morning,
I’ve been thinking about how much the world wants us to stay in a box.
We hear things like…
“Stay in your lane” – because it keeps you from making others uncomfortable.
“Be grateful for what you get.” -But there’s a difference between being appreciative and settling for less.
“Act like a lady” -Which often means smile and be quiet.
Today, I encourage you to dream expansively. Don’t be limited by the invisible barriers of society.
And then start small. Even the tiniest movement counts in moving you from here to there.

50 Non-Cheesy Text Messages For Your Husband
Spice up your relationship with a fun and flirty text. It only takes a minute!
Recently, I attended my youngest daughter’s preschool graduation. Words were spoken that wiggled in and made a home in my heart.
I feel I should share them with you.
My daughter’s teacher received an award and someone made a short video of her with the kids. Then they played it at the graduation.
The entire video was sweet, but it was the teacher’s “sign off” at the end that touched me.
She spoke softly to the camera about how much she loves her job and adores seeing the kids’ growth. Then she closed with,
“Teachers don’t make much money. They don’t get lots of awards,”
(And with tears flooding her eyes and a hint of defiance in her voice)
“But what we do is important.”
I sat there (trying not to cry in public). Thinking about how grateful I am that she spoke these words aloud.
Because she needs her message to be heard in a society that is forgetting.
We revere the social media influencers. And put entertainers on a pedestal.
Athletes and actors make millions.
But what about the backbone of our society?
The teachers, nursing home assistants, police officers, street cleaners, parents, and many others who serve, build up, and care for others with all they have. Only to be told they are “less valued” by a society obsessed with material success and fame.
My message today is for the caregivers. And those of you who serve quietly, but with dignity and strength.
Thank you. We see you. You are the heartbeat of humanity.
Your work is important.
And don’t let anyone tell you differently.
