The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. ~ Alan Watts

Change is inevitable. We all know it, right? So, instead of resisting it, why not accept it and dance with it!

I know, sounds goofy but really, if you can imagine life as a beautiful, ever-changing dance floor where every twist and turn leads to new adventures…you’ll be a lot more resilient and ready to tackle every change that comes your way.

So, join me and let’s lace up our dancing shoes and move gracefully with the flow of life.

​Embrace the change, join the dance, and let’s create a rhythm that’s uniquely ours!

💓Motivation in Motion

Eleanor Roosevelt, the trailblazing First Lady, is more than a political figure.

She is a beacon of hope, courage, and resilience.

Her story is one of overcoming personal struggles to champion human rights and women’s empowerment.

She once said, You must do the things you think you cannot do. So, let’s channel our inner Eleanor, face our fears head-on, and break those barriers.

Her journey reminds us that we all have the strength to make a difference, no matter how daunting the challenge may seem.

📣Good News of the Day

Exciting things are happening in Brownsville!

A once neglected community garden is getting a vibrant makeover, thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers.

This revitalized green space will soon be a hub for fresh produce, beautiful flowers, and a sense of community pride.

It’s heartwarming to see how collective efforts can transform a neighborhood and bring people closer together.

​This garden is not just about plants! It’s about planting seeds of hope, unity, and positivity in the heart of Brownsville.

📚What We’re Reading

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

This review was sent to us by Katie T. in Texas.

This book is truly incredible. It’s exciting, scary at times, fast-paced, heart-wrenching, painfully honest about the horrors of WWII, and so worth the read.

This story is based on true events - both sisters are part of the French resistance in different capacities, but aside from that, the author honestly portrays the day-to-day awfulness of living in German occupied France.

Both sisters are brave in different ways, and the author does a great job of building them both into complex characters with depth, flaws, and things that make them both likable... and sometimes not so much. They both truly grow throughout the book - it’s not just about their adventures and the excitement of the resistance. By the end of the book, both sisters feel like a friend.

I read this book in one sitting (yes, I got like 3 hours of sleep before work the next day), and I know this book is going to be on my mind for a bit. I’m also sure this will be a re-read for me. Truly, this is an excellent read!

Grab your copy and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
