WEEK #7
Hello Blue Jays!
GIVE LOVE
DEAR 2020 GRADS
Commencement season is upon us. For you grads out there - I know with what’s going on in our lives right now, and this moment having to abruptly say goodbye to a part of your life - now, in reality, you are also beginning something new. Such is life.
Let’s take a brief moment to celebrate your story now:
via the Daily Coach
Your uniqueness is your magic. There is no one like you — nobody. You are not a finished product. Life is about growth and transformation. Each day you have the ability to evolve to new heights and discoveries. Protect your peace on this journey from the external — the places, people, and circumstances that try to dictate your narrative. Realize your self-worth can never be determined by others. Your self-worth is determined by you. You are enough. Fearlessly acknowledge your story and spread kindness everywhere you go.
It is inevitable that we will experience minor setbacks and major comebacks as we navigate this exam called life. Realize deeply that all of these experiences are necessary for us to unlock the outer depths of who we are, where we are and the person we are becoming. Life is your canvas and playground. Paint the journey you desire and play freely without self-sabotaging your dreams.
Congratulations on this remarkable achievement! I look forward to hearing, seeing and cheering you on your next chapter…

SELF-CARE 101
You must care for yourself before you can care for others!
What do you do daily or weekly to take care of yourself?
I like to play music! Or stroll in nature trails … Or just some solitude (quiet time).
Be you. Be Awesome.
