This is Sarah sitting inside her former school. Now she attends the Front Royal Light Up Academy. Children like her are even hungrier during the Covid-19 crisis. Can you share $10 to help feed them and spend one day of your life feeling the hunger pains they face every day? April 29th is your chance. Rotary Fast.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I’m so inspired (especially around Christmas and the new year) by the remarkable actions people take to make a positive change in the world, in their communities, within their families and in themselves. That’s what WHAT MATTERS is all about–shining a light on and supporting the amazing efforts of individuals and groups while creating initiatives to make a difference. But I’ve always felt like there’s something missing yet desperately needed to connect us all with each of our unique causes and gestures–to remind us that we’re in this together, and that (as my WHAT MATTERS lyrics declare), “there’s only one team in this game” of life. https://youtu.be/xKHAc1RWOMQ We have different labels that we unite around that separate us into categories of different political beliefs, different religions, different priorities, different interests, different dreams, but I believe WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DESIRE DEEP DOWN FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR OURSELVES AND A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL. But there has been no “label,” no “movement,” no “brand” to represent this united front of goodness that is more foundational than any of the other NAMES that highlight our differences. I’m happy to report this Christmas day that there is finally SPACE for this inherent human nature that showcases the positive aspects that unite us, no matter what our other labels may be. SPACE is a nonprofit founded by Liz Gibbs, and I’ll be talking a lot about it as WHAT MATTERS is partnering with SPACE to make more of a global impact. In 2020, I’ll be launching several large collaboration projects with amazing people to co-create initiatives on a larger scale. ABOUT SPACE: SPACE is on a mission to create a brand that unites the world, a community where everyone belongs and products that empower and inspire. SPACE IS A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE, OFFERING SUPPORT AND TANGIBLE TOOLS FOR PRACTICING RADICAL ACCEPTANCE AND COURAGEOUS CHANGE IN AN EFFORT TO UNITE AND EMPOWER THE WORLD.

Check out my post on Facebook to learn about a great new podcast called "Thriving Thoughts" THANKS #dr.sherrispeaks for interviewing me for an episode! I loved the chance to chat about how I went from being a stressed out Realtor to one of the happiest people on the planet :-) I used to sit on Sheri's therapist couch and cry about what should have been a "perfect life" but have since created a life that's perfect for ME (even with all the imperfections)! Thanks for empowering women like me to make time to listen to their hearts! https://www.instagram.com/p/B24PPtKhA2J/?igshid=y1fuwkxfg9s4
What a difference 14 months has made in their lives and mine! They just voted to name the school Front Royal Light UP Academy in honor of all the support of their community from mine. Had a great day in the Village with the children. Now we are going to take a short hike for some views! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuE8Y7dBxqv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vannkjgpwvre
#when your financial advisor tells you you need to get on Instagram you do it! Especially when you're in the car and don't want to walk out into the rain to go inside and log on the computer to do the work you have been procrastinating! Had my yearly retirement/college fund account review meeting with Lesley Gaudiosi yesterday. When I was talking to her about my WHAT MATTERS Initiatives (explaining that I now invest in human resources instead of Edward Jones), she said I really should start posting on Instagram. I have a not so slight obsession with taking pictures of abandoned shoes (especially those washed up on beaches and getting run over on dusty roads in third world countries). I have hundreds of similar photos. Am I the only one who thinks worn, lost shoes are beautiful (the more mangled and dirty the better)? I was trying to find a generic photo to post for my Instagram Inauguration and these shoes kept showing up in my scroll. (I think all those words following hashtag above are supposed to run together without spaces? Which is one reason I've never posted on Instagram because I write too many words that would need to run together. And I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to write a book to go along with the photos like I am now.) I also accepted Instagram's invitation to share posts on Twitter and Tumblr and I just opened up those accounts too. I don't know how to tag Lesley in this post, but I thank her for the encouragement to expand my social media presence beyond Facebook. Next up, update my LinkedIn! I wonder if all of this will post or if there is a character limit... we shall see when I press share! I think it's going to Auto post on Facebook too! Technology is amazing! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjX3YGBiKm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=da5hmymz6dvg
