Good Morning and Happy Friday! Did you have any good dreams, and are you excited and ready for a beautiful weekend? I do hope so! As for my day, I know I have a few errands, a little cleaning, and perhaps some filming after the sun sets.

So as you well know, I always like to share something insightful or inspirational, and yes, something naughty too, with you. And as I started to write, I wasn't sure what to say, but as I messaged with another, the idea came to me.

Have you ever seen the movie, Napoleon Dynamite? Sure, you have, at least once, maybe twice. But then again, maybe there's a chance you have no idea what I'm talking about. Either way, there's this character named "Uncle Rico." And Uncle Rico is caught in the past, to his "glory" days playing football in high school. But, instead of using that experience as a stepping stone to move forward in life, it has held him back; he hasn't moved on.

But it can be even worse because, at least in that situation, the person is focused on something good that happened in their life. What about the person who had something terrible they still hold on to each day? Something that brings them down, saps their energy and makes them not want to live their best life each day in full vibrant color.

My message to you is not to let the past, whether good or bad, define who you are but rather to think of today as the first day of the rest of your life. You owe it to yourself to step forward with your best foot so that when tomorrow arrives, you can look back on today and smile.

I get so much of my words may sound "whatever," but I'm a big believer in mindset and believing in yourself. I saw this phrase recently: "If you believe it will happen, there's a chance it won't happen, but if you believe it won't happen, there is zero chance it will happen." I'm sure the words were a little more eloquent than that, but once again, I hope you get what I'm getting at...!

So again, thank you, and remember to be the person others want to be around and be the person that brings an unexpected smile to someone else's face - I am confident you have it within you.

XoXo,

KS
