Happy Mother’s Day
No, this isn’t a belated Mother’s Day message; though I hope you had a good one.
If you are a mother, I hope you felt blessed and, if you’re not, I hope you were able to bless the mothers in your life.
But, you know, I got to thinking and our Mother’s deserve to feel loved, respected and special every day.
And then I got to thinking, so do all our family and all our friends.
And, when I got to thinking more, I remembered something we should all already know; so does everyone, every day.
What if you smiled at everyone you came in contact with, every day…
and treated your co-workers, teachers, students, friends, family and total strangers with courtesy and respect.
This is something I strive to do.
And, as is the case in many things I strive to do, I sometimes fail.
But I know that I do so much better than if I wasn’t deliberately trying; and also that it’s gotten easier over time, as is the case with all things as habit sets in.
And I know also that not only do I get to improve someone else’s day through this practice, but that it improves mine too.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes on our Facebook community.
And speaking of community, this is how everyone in my KMMA tribe treats each other too; everyone sincerely cares for one another, is encouraging and takes a vested interest in not only their own goals, but in helping each other too.
If you’re in it, you know.
If not, we’d love to have you.
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
