Reach for the stars...

beautifulfreepictures.com
 
Tree is challenging me
to reach for the stars...
To reach out of
my comfort zone...
and
this same challenge
to reach upward and beyond
confronts me
as I read the book
"Lean In"....
A successful woman's
journey
and the many times
she too
had to step
out of her comfort zone
and challenge
the many stereotypes
and barriers
women face
when they reach
 for
positions of
leadership and authority!

It is time
for me
and for
all women
to risk
reaching for the stars..
and fulfilling
 our dreams...

In unity and diversity
let us no longer hold back.
Our gifts and talents
are needed like never before...
Let us choose
to speak and to act
NOW
To reach for the stars
NOW

Let's BE the change
we are waiting for!!
NOW

Let the people of Iran know we care..

 
Our prayers are also with the people of Iran
who experienced a severe earthquake today.
Because of its depth
and
the fact that
 the epicenter was in
 a large unpopulated area
the number of deaths
was less than expected.
 
As thankful as we are for
the reduced number of deaths, 
this does not minimize
in any way
the pain and fear
currently being experienced.
Sending our love and prayers
can be a way of easing that pain
and helping the people of Iran
to know that they 
are not alone.

How often do we think about it...?

How often do we remember
where our food comes from?
Really comes from....??
And.. when we remember..
how can we  forget
to say thank you?
Let's remind ourselves
and our children
about
Where our food comes from..
and take a moment
each day
to say thank you!

Something to Celebrate..

What caught my eye was this blossom's uniqueness...
and the large family of which she/he is a part!
Whats even more amazing,
and something we often take for granted
 is
that each blossom shares
the family traits
in their own unique way..
All are the same..
yet
different!
Nature is reflecting back to us
our own unique story..
 
Give thanks today
 for being a part
of an ongoing
and ever expanding family...
while also
Celebrating
your own 
wonderful
UNIQUENESS!
