Friendly reminder to myself and we embark on a new adventure in our lives.

It's official, we are moving from AZ to TX!

Grateful to have the love and support of family and friends and my best friend by my side through this journey.

If you don't take steps that scare you, are you truly living?

Whether you’re in an up or a down, you can do this!

There are so many things I want to do and try and when I’m not making the progress I’d like, self-doubt comes creeping in.

I just keep telling myself to keep going. One step at a time. I will get there.

Service to others is an amazing way to spread joy and kindness in this world.

I spent a little time on my day off writing to Military families who recently welcomed new babies into their lives.

Soldiers Angels is an amazing charity organization providing ample opportunities to volunteer in the virtual environment.

Truth moment: In my pregnancy I have gone through phases of exhaustion and nausea and working out went out the window.

For the last few weeks, I have felt great and every night I say TOMORROW I'm going to get on my bike or tread or take the dogs for a walk.

Ugh the guilt!

Today though I just felt like I needed to move and even though I wanted to just lay in bed and watch TV, I took 30 minutes to walk it out.

Every day is an opportunity to say yes and do the thing!

I believe in you!

I feel so far behind this year ready. We are selling our home, looking out of state for a new home, planning a wedding and trying to prepare for our bundle of joy.

I think I'm adopting the phrase one thing at a time just to keep from getting overwhelmed.

What about you?

Say yes to things that serve you!

I started prepping for next year and have been forcing myself to evaluate all the projects that I am involved in and committed to.

I love to help others and share my knowledge, and I realize now that I can help even more people by finding and training successors to take my place.

Are there things you find yourself doing that you know would be welcomed development for someone on your team?

Make the decision now to invest the time to transition that task to another and free yourself up to learn something even more complex or impactful.

Create a talent pipeline and bring others along with you on your journey.

How do you re-energize when you find yourself losing steam?

When I find myself slowing down in the middle of the day, I find myself doing these things to refresh my focus.

My personal favorite is the song that makes you dance around the house. My go to is "Shut up and Dance" by Walk the Moon.

I would love to hear what strategies you use!

I get so much energy from this quote.

You were made to be passionate and to care deeply about things.

Trust yourself when you identify those things that matter most to you. Keep pushing for progress no matter how many times you are told to wait or told no.

Pauli Murray was an activist, lawyer, author, poet, reverend, and earned a PHD as a person of color.

Her work was used in important civil rights cases by Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsberg and yet she is largely unknown.

It's not about getting it perfect on your first try, it's being willing to try again and again until you succeed.

I see this hesitation to try. The fear of looking bad in front of others or falling flat on your face, holding people back from trying and learning and living.

Can we change the script? Can we encourage the risk takers, the tryers, and the doers for getting out there and pushing themselves instead of supporting this perfectionist culture that is limiting our potential?

If you are out there and trying, I see you. I am proud of you. Give yourself the grace to be proud too as you stand back up and start again.

The destination is not the prize, it is the journey and transformation along the way.

Make the choice that you want to see. A new you can begin right now!

Let go of yesterday and make today all that you need or want it to be and more.

This is simple yet life changing!

The truth is though that you can let your past and yesterday define your tomorrow, or you can make the choice to be new today and set a new tone for your future.

This strategy is easy and effective at bringing clarity and reducing your time spent worrying.

You have many more important and fun things to do with your time. This has helped me a lot, so I wanted to share it with you!

This was a great reminder for me today, so I thought I'd share it in the event it helps one of you.

As long as we continue to learn from the mistakes we make, it is just the cost of growth and development.
