this is the life!!! what will 2023 bring me!!

 So this is the life Lately things have been pretty good, randy got a new job and is working in a different department for his company I still have my job at otterbein it's going pretty well, Our kids are doing great in school.  we have the best of friends and family, a roof over our heads, shoes on our feet, food in our tummies, and clothes on our backs!!

what will 2023 bring me,  my color this year is purple meaning I am loyal and genuine , a best friend anyone could wish for.  I am unapologetically honest I tell it like it is, and that's what real friends are for anyway. some may think I am harsh, but I see it as being true to myself, In 2023 I won't change that I will continue to put my value in the quality of my friendships. Not everyone deserves a seat at my table!

No hot Air required we rise by lifting others up!

Rise by lifting others poem

Everyone wants to get ahead in this world. However, its hard when people go about it in thoughtless ways. they puff themselves up with hot air seeking attention and praise and end up stepping on whoever they can to get higher. 

The fact is the real rise to the top is a lot easier than it sounds. just let go of the idea that we need to climb somewhere or something and concentrate on lifting and inspiring others along their journey. when we stop focusing on ourselves, we end up finding extraordinary joy in watching their dreams take flight,

but the best part is that in the process they become the "wind beneath our wings" (interesting song btw)

and we effortlessly float to the top, often finding ourselves soaring higher than ever before. The ride is a blast and the view is amazing.

 

So inspiring, uplifting and empower others. it is the secret to true and lasting greatness.

"Smile, someone is thinking of you!" another dove chocolate quote.

while writing this blog I am listening to music, songs by Bruno mars, and similar artists like Rhiana, Miley cyrus, eminem.  it makes it easier to write my thoughts out, it is my me time to take and reflect on life the day or my feelings about a particular situation.
