A few years ago, I came across a website called the Daily Motivator. I remember this moment because I was sitting in my closet (that was my pet name for my office at work). I had reached a fairly high position in the corporate world with responsibilities of millions of dollars, yet I woke up each day to sit in an enclosed office with no window to the world. I truly was NOT inspired and life seemed dull and unhappy. I definitely was in survival mode. It was crazy because I had, according to our society's expectations, everything you should want in life. Anyway, I came across the
The Daily Motivator website and what I read was amazing. The wisdom and inspiration Ralph Marston shares in a very easy way was so uplifting, it inspired my spiritual search. I remember feeling guilty to be on the web reading something that was not job-related and was spooked when my boss walked into my office. Of course, I quickly exited the webpage and then got caught back up into my role and responsibilities and forgot all about that website. I am an avid follower of the
Lettered Cottage, and today Layla facebooked a link to
today's post of the Daily Motivator. It was crazy because it stirred in me a flashback and an amazing realization that my life has changed so dramatically. Although by today's societal expectations, I may not be exactly successful...but to me, I've never been more happy and fulfilled and so 'me'. Living authentically feels great! So I took a little stroll around the Daily Motivator website today and what really caught my attention was this little video about
kindness. I know this message is true because I have actually experienced it! Take a peek by clicking
here.
In the spirit of Eat, Pray, Love -- one of my absolutely favorite reads of all time (probably because I was going through some very similar trials and tribulations as Elizabeth Gilbert when I came upon her wonderful book), I found this very interesting link offering to
win a free mission trip to Africa. I really believe life is suppose to be an amazing experience, so I have begun creating a list of things I want to experience in my lifetime. When I saw this offer, I thought "wouldn't that be a great moment to experience!" I want to share this opportunity with you too! Click on this link to enter!
