A SECOND WIND (WIN): IT’S TIME TO SOAR!
It’s been a minute so let me first start off by saying Happy New Year, Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Friday and Happy Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX Champions’ Celebration Day (lol yes I said that in one breath)!!!! I am super excited for my home team, Go Philly! Today’s blog post was inspired by our Philadelphia Eagles, the tenacity shown by the team, and the overall love, excitement, and sense of community felt in the city. I remember our 1st Super Bowl win in 2018 against the Patriots and the excitement felt in the city; NOW here we are again SEVEN years later with a SECOND win! Talk about COMPLETE victory! If that doesn’t inspire you to SOAR like an Eagle, then I don’t know what else to tell you.
Wait, of course there is more. I do have something that I hope will encourage you to SOAR in this season and seasons to come. It takes a special grace to be able to find the courage to spread your wings and fly again especially when you feel like so much has been working against you or many have counted you out.
BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey Fam,
I come to you with good news. Yes, good news! It’s easy for us to be overcome with emotion when we receive bad news, but have you ever experienced being overcome with emotions when you receive good news…like at the announcement of a birth? Oh the joy and rush of emotions that floods your mind and heart. I always find it interesting seeing baby announcements and the rush of emotions people experience whether you are closely connected to the person making the announcement or not.
THINK-FULL THANKSGIVING
As you reflect over the year thus far (the good, bad or indifferent), what are you thankful for today? I encourage you to take a “THINK-FULL” approach to your reflection today.
Direct your mind and heart towards God’s unconditional love for you. May His peace, love and joy surround you today.
THE OFF-SEASON
I was just thinking about sports, and I began reflecting on how much I love how actively involved and invested one becomes. Whether you play a sport, coach/train, invest, or consider yourself a go hard for your team(s) fan, there is just a certain level of investment and commitment that comes with the territory. You put in work during the regular season and during the off-season in preparation for the new season. Even during the off-season, the fans are also in preparation mode (let that sit with you).
LOOK aGAIN!
Hey Fam,
It’s been a minute! Let’s take a look at a page we all may experience at some point in life, FAILURE. Have you ever found yourself revisiting a chapter in your life where you felt like you failed? Maybe you are currently at that chapter in your life right now and asking yourself, “how did I end up here?”
MIND GAMES: TURF BATTLE
Sometimes the greatest battle we will fight is in our mind. What do I mean? Have you ever found yourself consumed by thoughts which then begin to have a major impact on your emotions, how you interact with others, how you perceive situations and/or how you navigate your day?
