Arenโ€™t women magical creatures? Sometimes I just sit in awe honestly. I keep imagining what the world would be like if there were more women world leaders. Not that all women are top tier leaders, BUUUUUUTTTTT the majority have been. Lord knows they're not as emotional as most men (different topic; not this morning). ๐Ÿคญ

Thereโ€™s power in women uplifting women. I often think about the Women of Brewster Place (the TV miniseries), which gave me a peek into what life is like when women support other women. When one light shines bright, it only helps another light to shine even brighter. We can all shine bright like diamonds (and Riri said it so you know it must be true). Hereโ€™s the Monday Message challenge: This week, be the encouragement someone needs. Check in. Send a loving text. Make a phone call. Roll thru and hug a sister. Support one woman in a meaningful way this week (and all the remaining weeks of this year). And because this is better with a little reflectionโ€ฆhow did supporting her support you?

This book preview is an invitation to challenge the beliefs, expectations, and stories we've carried for years without ever stopping to ask whether they still serve us.

Because growth isn't always about learning something new. Sometimes it's about unlearning what was never yours to carry.

I recognize all my blessings, and being blessed with a bomb ass community is one of mine. The people the good Lord has put into my life are beyond amazing. These people show up for me, love on me, and hold me accountable. Itโ€™s good over here. AND I return the favor. ๐Ÿ’š

You ever feel like a broken record? I always told my classrooms that I didnโ€™t like repeating myself, yet I repeated the same thing over and over again. ๐Ÿ˜† As a matter of fact, we had this saying at The Container Store: โ€œRepetition creates recognition.โ€ I started adding โ€œeventuallyโ€ because some of us are slow to get a message. Oh, whatโ€™s the message? Community is the future!

Listen, we ๐€๐‘๐„ ๐๐Ž๐“ going to get through these challenging and awful times alone. ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ง๐จ๐ญ. You need a community. You need to surround yourself with some โ€œgoodโ€ people. If you donโ€™t know where to start in crafting your community, consider this quick tip. Community is built through small, consistent acts of connection. Donโ€™t force it. Donโ€™t bring your raggedy relationship baggage with you (everyone is not like the person who did you wrong). Just be present. Be you.

Hereโ€™s the Monday Message Challenge: this week, lean into the relationships that make you feel grounded and seen. Start there (thatโ€™s the obvious positive place). Reach out to one person you care about. Be the fuel that starts the fire. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ฅGo get'em tiger!

Some gifts are opened onceโ€ฆbut photographs are opened for a lifetime.
