If you live your best life, do the things YOU want to do and be yourself, you'll impress and inspire those around you, without even knowing it.
This week, I am most grateful for the impact I've had. That I was able to leave a memorable impression on people I met by just being me.

#525: I Was There (Friday, January 20)
"Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
As we prepare for the end of an era in American History, this week I'm most grateful that I was here to be part of it.
Nothing can erase the memories I have of driving down to DC for the first inauguration. Of standing in the freezing cold, making friends with strangers, and the general energy of celebration and hopefulness that was in the air.
Nothing can erase my pride at seeing and hearing young minority children dream bigger and reach higher because they had role models in White House in whom they saw themselves.
The past eight years were historical, and is an experience that I will always hold dear. I was there.

#524: Long Conversations (Friday, January 13)
It seems like we rarely have long conversations anymore. Everyone is always in a rush, or wants to text, or catch up via social media.
I was fortunate this week to have not one, not two, but three really long and meaningful catch ups. We laughed, cried, talked about our feelings, our frustrations, and our hopes for the future.
So this week, I'm most grateful for that: long, personal conversations that don't include politics, current affairs or anything but just the thoughts of two people engaged in a meaningful exchange. :)

#523: Two Jars (Friday, January 6)
Happy New Year!
It's our 11th Anniversary of Good Fridays!
So the theme this year is gratitude. Each Friday, I want you to take 10 minutes of your day and write down all the things that happened during that week for which you're thankful. Select the "best" one and put it in your Gratitude Jar.
The second jar is for Moments. This isn't a weekly jar - you just put something in whenever you have a fantastic moment. Just jot it down on a piece of paper and put it in your Moments Jar.
At the end of the year, you'll have a collection of great moments and things that you're grateful for...hopefully throughout the year, you can go to your jars when you need some help to get through the not-so-great times.
Here's to filling up our jars!
This week I'm most grateful for friends who can get together and have a great time without checking/posting on social media. :)
