Today my daughter turns 2.5! Wow, how the past 2.5 years have gone by so quickly. I came across this quote of Gandhi’s after reading more about Gandhi the past few weeks. My daughter has us reading “I am Amelia Earhart,” “I am Rosa Parks,” and “I am Gandhi.” They are a part of the “Ordinary People Change the World” series. It’s amazing what a small, shy man of color was able to do all by walking and picking up a handful of salt - breaking the law.

What thoughts have become words for you?

What words have taken you to act?

What actions have become your habits?

What habits have become your values?

What values have lead you to where you are today?

The past 35 years have led me to today. I don’t think I would have thought I’d be where I’m at, but I’m here. I’ve been doing my best to continue holding onto positive beliefs, thoughts, words, actions, habits and values. Right now my beliefs and thoughts aren’t leading to positive actions or habits due to cancer, preventative cancer tests, pandemic, infertility, low self esteem and dark cold days. Talking about it has helped. So…if you are in the same boat, don’t forget to reach out to someone and talk or maybe write in a journal. You are not alone.
