Happy Monday Motivation, y'all!

If you only knew how
really powerful you are...
|
|
|
The Brain is pretty amazing....it's like...science, ! And science is pretty close to math, and you know I don't math but I get this!
So, just remember one thing...you have the power.
And now you have to watch the Monday Motivation video because you're curious about all this.......you can find it here:

Glitter & Grace Gathering!
Ok, it's official...we can start counting down the days ➣ G3 Tickets!

I found MY words!
When I first saw this image, I had to read it twice to believe what I was reading....because it so perfectly fit my life.
I didn't write these words, but I sure do think they were written just for me.
"...gather up all your scattered dreams & build the life you love..."
That whole 'building the life you love' is the hard part, right? It seems like every day is full of shoulds, judgment, and the smell
|

of hopes dashed and uneasy fear'.
I wish I had some magic fairy dust to sprinkle over you, just enough to help you gather those scattered dreams, and then a little more to start the building process.
But I have pretty big news for you, ~ you don't need my magic fairy dust, or anyone's magic fairy dust really. It's all right inside you, waiting for you to dig it out of the box, dust it off, and sprinkle it all over the place like a wild woman dancing in the moonlight.
"But," you start to say...."my shovel is rusty and the box is shut tight and maybe the magic fairy dust is too far gone to do any good..."
And I would smile, tell you that you really only need a pinch of the stuff, and wave my wings over you to stir up the dust so you could actually see the magic inside your soul....then I'd watch you gather your scattered dreams and build the life you love.
....this fairy tale is brought to you by the belief that we are all worthy, we are all capable, and we are all going to get there.
Yes, some days are much harder than others, and some seem at least 50 hours long, but once you decide what that life looks like, and start down that path, your focus will keep you going.
And I believe in you with all my heart and soul... 💗

A little ME time is a
very good thing!
Self care is a buzzword you have probably heard pretty often over the past year. It seems everyone and their uncle is talking how you need to take care of yourself, and ways to do it.
I'm on that bandwagon, too....but I want to
|
|
|
|
|
|
remind you that self care doesn't have to be some epic week long trip to the spa (but I probably wouldn't turn that down 😉). And it doesn't have to cost thousands or even hundreds of dollars, take up hours and days or your life, or be at the expense of those you love.
Self care means simply....taking care of yourself.
And however you choose to do that, whatever is good for your soul....THAT's what you do for you.
Maybe it's getting an ice cream cone (or having that for dinner!), going for a walk, sleeping in an extra 30 minutes, or not answering that text. It really is the little things that make you anxious, make you cringe, or make you angry that mess up your day....so if you can turn one of those off or remove it for a hot minute, then you've done some pretty fancy self care right there.
For me, I'm taking this week off and that's what I call self care. I won't completely disconnect from social media (I really do enjoy it!), but I won't stick to a schedule and I'll forget what day it is occasionally, and think about things I don't often have time to think about.
So, figure out what makes you happy...and if that stumps you, think about what made you smile yesterday and go from there....and do those things as often as possible. A little self care is definitely good for the heart!

#believethe9
If you've been hanging around for even a short time, you've probably heard me talk about #believethe9.
And if you haven't, here's a short video to tell you what it's all about: #believethe9
After you watch the video (for real...like less than 4 minutes!), you will totally 'get' the hashtag, and
|

the meaning behind the words.
And, if something drops in your mailbox next week, you'll have a daily reminder to always....Believe the 9!

Comparisonitis is a real thing!
You know this happens....you look at facebook, or instagram, or the magazines at the check out counter, or your neighbor, or another mom in the school pick up line....
AND YOU COMPARE her life with yours.
Which is just crazy when you stop to think about it, because you are totally different people with different lives, backgrounds, DNA, parents, opportunities, life lessons, upbringing, struggles, successes, losses, and I could go on and on and on and on.
Yet....it's what we do.
I do it, too.
"Wow, look at her! She's way ahead of me in business and she's only been doing it for 6 months!"
Or, "her house is a LOT cleaning than mine and she works from home, too!"
STAAAAPPPP IT! (I totally just told myself that, too....)
Go back and read the paragraph above about how crazy that is and read it over and over until you get to the point that you see someone else, and just love on her for what she's bringing to the table right this very second because we have no idea what happened before she even got to the door.
And you....well, YOU are just being a rock star today and don't you forget it!

Epicness in an hour (and a half!)
Y'all...the Zoom calls are JUST SO MUCH FUN! When someone asks what they are about, I'm like...I don't even know!
We talk, and laugh, and then ask how everyone is doing and share what's going on in our world and we just connect!
And it's amazing!
Last night's call was a little long, but we just kept talking! You can check it out right here: ZOOM CALL!
And go ahead and put the next one on your calendar NOW: Sunday, July 28, at 9:00 pm ET!
You'll get a reminder the week before and then another one the day of...and it's all free (the zoom link will take you to the app to join!).
And seeing everyone, listening to their lives and laughing with them reminds us all that we're connected in so many ways!
