HAPPY MONDAY! HAPPY DECEMBER!
It’s the last month of 2014. Let’s make it special and different from the rest.
Life is exciting; like walking into Cracker Barrel exciting (don’t you just love the little shop part?). The days are crunched together: classes, work, finals, events, conferences, delegations, interviews, applications, anticipation– all this as we are surrounded by twinkling lights and chilly winds.
Before I saw the sunrise in a plane not too long ago, I was looking down in the darkness at the mazes and funny little designs of cities and lights down below. Glittering figure eights and twinkling snakes are what we live in. It was so beautiful; so small; and so bright.
It’s the beginning of a new week. Clean start. The future has no spots. This week’s theme for me is unwavering boldness. What would we do if we had no fear?
