I have attached a video almost 12 minutes long but wanted to share something close to my heart where I can fully show where my heart is coming from when I post daily Early last year, I hit a place briefly where I wondered if what I was sharing daily mattered anymore..I mean, I have been posting here and on my other social media pages for years (( daily )) … was I sounding like a broken record ? Did people really care to hear what I had to share anymore, to hear about self love and the like…this pondering, actually hurt inside because sharing daily and wanting to help others is just as much part of me as breathing and what if, it just didn’t matter … Well, I saw this Mr Rogers clip again at the perfect time in my life last year and want to share the words that ultimately stay with me daily – You can view video but here are the words that touched me most ….
” Fame is a 4 letter word and like tape, zoom or face or pain or life or love what ultimately matters is what we do with it. I feel that those of us in television are chosen to be servants, it doesn’t matter what are particular job, we are chosen to make the deeper needs of those who watch and listen day and night. The conductor of the orchestra at the Hollywood bowl grew up in a family that had little interest in music but he often tells people he found his early inspiration from the fine musicians on television. Last month, a 13 year old boy abducted an 8 year old girl and when people ask him why, he said he learned about it on tv..” something different to try ” he said ” life’s cheap, what does it matter ” – Well, life isn’t cheap, it’s the greatest mystery of any millennium and television needs to do all it can to broadcast that – to show and tell what the good in life is all about but how do we make goodness, attractive ? By doing whatever we can, to bring courage to those who’s lives move near our own. By treating our neighbor at least as well as we treat ourselves and allowing that to inform everything that we produce – Who in your life has been such a servant to you ? Who has helped you love the good that grows within you ? Let’s just take 10 seconds ( page friends please take 10 seconds ) to think of some of those who have loved us and wanted what was best for us in life, those who have encouraged us to become who we are tonight…just 10 seconds of silence. I’ll watch the time…No matter where they are, either here or in heaven, imagine how pleased those people must be to know that you thought of them right now. We all have only one life to live on earth, and through television, we have the choice of encouraging others to demean this life or to cherish it, in creative and imaginative ways. On behalf of all of us at Family @family communications communications and the @public broadcasting service I thank you for all the good that you do in this unique enterprise and for wanting our neighborhood to be apart of this celebration tonight – Thank you very much ” Full video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI_9GegVoYk

I’m not famous and I’m not on television but since 2011 I have been blessed with a platform where I can reach others and although I always knew in my heart that being a reminder of hope, love & kindness mattered, this really helped because imagine my surprise when someone I admired shared his heart which shared so much I carry in my own heart. I know that posting about looking on the bright side, finding joy, overcoming……might not always be ” attractive ” I’m not always posting about the latest trends, some times my notes are filled with typos but it’s my truth and it comes from the core of who I am. I live in the same world as everyone, I experience the same hardship, pain and loss but I am determined to find the good, to share the good and also share the not so great moments because thats part of being human. I remember NOT finding the good and living in a constant place of wanting things to be better and that frame of mind isn’t where the magic happens. I want magic for us all…As I entered 2016, my goal remains the same – This page started with me showing my weight lose journey but in growing as a person over the years, I learned the journey was about so much more and I have a deep sense of responsibility to share that because we are ALL so important, so valuable, and life really is SO precious. I want to shine of light of goodness, even if it’s annoying some days lol and if this type of sharing only reaches one person, I’m ok with that because that one person may receive the encouragement they needed to rock their own life and their life matters, and that 1 life can change the world. Please know that every post, picture & video comes from a place of love and desire to help you live your best most BLESSED life and please know I believe in you and appreciate you !!
