Hey Beautiful Soul!
You know those mornings when you wake up and feel the promise in the air?
Like something good is already on its way, even before you’ve had coffee?
That’s the kind of week I’m wishing for you. The kind where the little things you do today...tiny choices, quiet wins, secret dreams...start weaving themselves into something bigger than you imagined.
Let’s plant some seeds together.
🤗Positive Corner
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.”~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Ever feel like you’re doing all the things but not seeing results yet? Oh friend, you’re not stuck...you’re in the growing season.
Success isn’t an overnight delivery.
It’s a slow, gorgeous process of tending to your dreams with care.
Every step, every effort, every deep breath you take in the direction of your goals… that’s you planting seeds for your own future harvest.
So today, celebrate the seed you plant... no matter how small it feels. Trust me, future you will send back a thank-you card.
💓Motivation in Motion
This week’s inspiration? Bertha Benz, a woman with grit, smarts, and the most legendary road trip in history.
Back in the late 1800s, her husband Karl invented a “horseless carriage,” but people weren’t exactly lining up for a test drive. So one morning, Bertha quietly left a note, grabbed her two teenage sons, and hit the road in one of Karl’s cars...driving 60 miles to her parents’ house.
Along the way she…
Pushed the car up steep hills (with help from her boys)
Bought fuel from a pharmacy (because gasoline was literally a cleaning product back then)
Fixed a clogged fuel line with a hatpin
Repaired a belt with part of her garter (seriously—legend status)
By the time she got home a week later, her adventure had made headlines. People finally saw the car as practical, and the Benz business took off.
Lesson from Bertha? Sometimes you don’t wait for permission or the “perfect” moment, you take the wheel and prove the point yourself.

🧘Self Care in Action
Do you know the magic of a weighted blanket? It’s like a hug you didn’t have to ask for...calm, grounding, and perfect for drifting off to dreamland.
Handmade in Texas by a woman-owned business
High customer satisfaction (and rave reviews)
Comforting for all ages... kids, teens, adults
Loved by wellness advocates, educators, and therapists
Sometimes self-care looks like bubble baths and green smoothies… and sometimes it’s simply wrapping yourself in warmth and letting your body exhale.

📚What We’re Reading
Something a little different.
Charlene was gifted this book by the author, Barry Kleiman...a friend and colleague. Then I read it and thought it would be fabulous to share with you.
The Playground Principles™: Why Connection Still Matters by Barry Kleiman
📚 Find it here
Remember when trust was earned through action?
When connection came from showing up day after day, not from algorithms or “likes”?
This book explores how playground wisdom...consistency, vulnerability, integrity...can still give you a powerful edge in life and business.
Through stories of athletes, leaders, and everyday heroes, it’s a reminder that connection is currency… and connection with yourself is oxygen.
Four questions guide you:
What are you trying to build?
Why does it matter?
What’s your next move?
When will you take it?
If you’re ready to breathe deeper and show up more authentically, this one’s a must-read.
