Inspirational Update - 11 August 2024

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -- Walt Disney

"Just try new things. Don’t be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?” -- Michelle Obama

Over the past 2 months, I have challenged myself to "Do Something New Every Week." This week was a stretch. While I have helped my Dad many times before the loss of my Step-mother, I was able to help him in a differnt way this week. I was proud that even as an 80+ year-old-man, he was comfortable asking his daughter to help him, and I was as proud that I was able to provide that help.

In the past month, I also camped for the first time in over 40 years; volunteered at our Frederick, MD's Alive @ Five event twice, learned how to meditate, and a number of other, smaller, yet new things.

I realize that trying new things and meeting new people, can be frightening and sometimes overwhelming, but I encourage you to do something new and/or different this month. It makes you realize that you CAN soar and it helps you learn more about yourself!
