The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
Activate your unique gifts and then share them with the world. I wrote “Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow” to be of service to parents everywhere. And what I found is that in being of service to others, it has really changed my life from the ground up. And, you know, for me, one of my gifts is promoting wellness and intentional living for parents and children alike and, you know, becoming an author has open doors that never would have opened had I not been brave enough to put pen to paper, you know? And so I think to share with your listeners that, you know, The world needs more people to turn on their individual light and to live their truth in a way that makes a difference for humanity. And that's your gift. They're going to vary. Everyone has different gifts. And so, you know, don't blindly follow in the footsteps of others, but be brave enough to leave your own mark. You know, I think that we can change the world one person at a time. And I believe the biggest way to start making an impact is to activate your own wellness and your own internal knowing and then start sharing your heartfelt wisdom with others.
