It’s a new month, the start of a new week… so how about a little challenge to refresh your mindset?!? Let’s change those into
Over the next week, make a mindful adjustment to your thoughts and words regarding your “to do” lists. Instead of “I have to pick up the kids at school”, say “I get to pick up the kids at school”.

There is a quiet strength in choosing kindness.

True power isn't about fighting the disrespect and criticism that surrounds us; it's about meeting it with a heart full of love and care. The bitterness of others can be a compass, guiding you to be a light in the darkness.

Your empathy has a profound impact on the hearts of others. How you choose to show up in the world—with kindness, with grace, is one of the most meaningful things you can ever do.
