Is it just me or has this week seemed never ending. I thought it was Thursday two days ago!
My husband says he thinks last week’s presidential election destroyed the space-time continuum. And I think he’s right.
It’s weeks like these when I need to fill my mind with as much inspiration and affirmation as I can.
Here are five of my favorite mantras that help get me hard days and weeks that never seem to end:
I’m a girl who gets things done. When I set my mind to do something, I do it.
Most of the time.
As I type this my heart is so full it’s really hard to put into words how I feel.
A year ago today I was at the Clubhouse on Highland being honored by Girls On the Run Birmingham as one of the city’s “Women Who Inspire.” I walked through the door and was greeted with handshakes, hugs, and a hot pink sash that read. “Inspirational.” I draped it across my body noting the nice contrast with my grey dress. I smiled as my proud husband took my photo for the obligatory Facebook and Instagram posts.
But I felt like a fraud.
I didn’t feel inspirational. I felt like a mess.
It’s Sunday, October 2 and I’m at Nissan Stadium in Nashville surrounded by thousands of people. We’re all here for one reason: Beyonce’s Formation World Tour.
