SEPTEMBER 30th, 2025

QUOTE: " Trust that little voice in your head that says. "Wouldn't it be interesting if .....," and then do it.
-Duane Michals

ACT: See someone eating alone? Ask to join them.

REFLECTION: The people we come across in our lives are there to teach us something. The question is, are our eyes open to see it?

It's pretty extraordinary how something as simple as a share meal can bring with it feelings of joy, solidarity, and possibly a new friendship.

SEPTEMBER 29th, 2025

QUOTE: " Real unselfishness consists of sharing the interests of others."
-George Santayana

ACT: Help an elderly person across the street. Go ahead, ask their name, and share a bit about that yourself. A personal touch makes all the difference.

REFLECTION: In my career, I find working with the elderly most rewarding. When you share a bit about yourself, it opens the door for them to share, and the vast wisdom and experiences are simply spellbounding.

A sense of purpose and connection is made on both parties. Reach out and touch someone..it'll open your heart.

*In order to birth an evolutionary species that’s willing to be better than any generation before it, we must be willing to reach within our hearts and give to one another the respect, validation, and encouragement we all deserve and desire* -Mat Kahn

SEPTEMBER 28th, 2025

QUOTE: " There there is more to life than increasing its speed."
-Maharma Gandhi

ACT: Human connection satisfies something completely different than Wi-Fi connection.We validate our friends and classmates on social media with likes, comments, and follows, but today, validate a friend by picking up the phone and calling them.

REFLECTION: In today's world of social media, we are inundated with countless messages coming at us from a vast array of sources, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, Viber.Snapshot, text message, voice message.

With all these forms of digital communication, it's no wonder there exists a lot of miscommunication. It seems as though we have lost the basic and most essential need of humanity- human connection.

Perhaps our biggest fear is allowing people in, allowing them to truly see us, but speaking to someone can validate us in ways that nourish our soul, far more than the validation we get from social media.

SEPTEMBER 27th, 2025

QUOTE: "A w**d is no more than a flower in disguise."
-James Russell Lowell

ACT: Gift a plant to a friend or family member who has taken ill.

REFLECTION: Life gives life. Love gives love. Kindness gives strength.

A plant carries with it healing powers; an energy that radiates light, warmth, and comfort. But the combination of the plant and the person who gives it is where the magic lies, where the healing begins, and where strength takes root .
It's a symbol that while some miracles are instant, the truly extraordinary go undetected, it begins by simply planting a seed.

SEPTEMBER 26th, 2025

QUOTE: "Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder."
-Mason Cooley

ACT: Have you been leaving someone hanging on an answer? Get back to them today.

REFLECTION: Closure is a coveted gift that people try to obtain, but many live their lives with the failed hope of attaining it.

Break the habit of procrastination. Put aside the worry that your answer is one they'd rather not hear.

A response of any sort is better than no response at all. Your "no" may be the missing link needed for them to finally move on.

SEPTEMBER 25th, 2025

QUOTE: "All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being.
not just with my hands but with my heart." -Tahereh Mafi

ACT: Make up with a friend you're fighting with. Remember, we all make mistakes.

REFLECTION: A deeper reflection of our own deeds helps us see beyond the shortcomings and faults of another, recognizing those very same flaws within ourselves. We have all consciously or unconsciously caused pain to another.

Do those feelings of pain negate all of the shared memories, the laughs, the tears, the support, the endless times the two of you were there for each other?

Will we actually give free rain to our ego to do away with a friend simply because of a hurdle, or will we push through in spite of it with the knowledge that friendship is something worth fighting for.

SEPTEMBER 24th, 2025

QUOTE: "Be so happy that when others look at you , they become happy too."
-Yogi Bhajan

ACT: Focus on the positive! Practice giving heartfelt compliments to your family, spouse, parents, or friends.

REFLECTION: We are our own worst critics and more than likely are the first to be aware of our faults.

One of the most difficult things is actually working on those traits, to only have those closest to us pick at them in the moments when we're not on our game.

It can make us question whether anyone notices the positive strides we've taken, and in the most unfortunate circumstances, it can stop us from trying.

Take a moment to cherish the positive things about someone close to you.

Often, if you encourage the positive, the negative falls away

SEPTEMBER 23rd, 2025

QUOTE: "Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners." - Laurence Sterne

ACT: Make a conscious effort to return money you borrowed from someone today. Whether you can pay it all back or only part of it, don't allow the fear of embarrassment of time gone prevent you from doing what you know to be right.

REFLECTION: How often do we hold back from doing what we know to be right out of fear of being embarrassed?
The longer we let time pass, the more we convince ourselves that the window of opportunity to right a wrong has come and gone and we have no choice but to live with an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of our stomach.

Eventually, we close your eyes to it completely. But in our subconscious, we hold tight to feelings of regret and remorse. Why subjugate ourselves to such emotions? Take courage, be brave, and do what you know in your heart to be right.

SEPTEMBER 22nd, 2025

QUOTE: "There is always room for improvement. It's the biggest room in the house. " - Louise Heath Leber

ACT: Go through an old notebook or journal. Look back and reflect.
Share the memories with a loved one.

Don't have a journal?
Perhaps this will give you the push you've been looking for to start one.

There's true healing power in writing down our thoughts.

REFLECTION: Reflection is a key element to achieving and attaining success both in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives.

If we continue to push forward each day without giving thought and credence to the past and where we've come from, what we've done, the mistakes and accomplishments we've made it's easy to lose our way and fall off the path.

Reflecting is merely a set of checks and balances for ourselves. It helps us stay the course and reminds us of why we set out on this journey of life to begin with.

SEPTEMBER 21st, 2025
Autumn Equinox

QUOTE: "The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us." - Ritu Ghatourey

ACT: Find something positive to say about everyone and everything you encounter today. Looking for the good in others will bring out the very best in you.

REFLECTION: Perception is the way in which we cast our judgments, notions, and attitudes on the world. Perceive beauty, and you will see beauty. Perceive hatred, war, and aggression and your perception will become your reality.

09/20/2025

SEPTEMBER 20th, 2025

QUOTE: "Honesty without compassion and understanding is not honesty, but subtle hostility." - Rose N. Franzblau

ACT: Clear up a dispute you're having with a co-worker or friend. Honesty is the best policy! Approach them with kindness and let them know how you're feeling. Communicate.

REFLECTION: Sometimes the conversations we fear having the most are the ones we will look back on and ask what would have happened had we not.

Communication is the glue that strengthens any and every relationship!

09/19/2025

SEPTEMBER 19th, 2025

QUOTE: " Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
-Mother Teresa

ACT: Smile and show off that beautiful grin today. Pretty soon, you'll notice people smiling back at you.

REFLECTION: I make a point to connect the eyes of each person I pass.
Most people might not even realize it, and that many are caught up in their own world.

But sometimes, one person's day could be made better because of a smile from a stranger.

Your smile may serve a reminder to them of the things worth smiling for in their life.
