With each new breath, you have the opportunity to be someone else.
Someone kinder, gentler and more compassionate.
Or maybe someone tougher and more resilient.
Perhaps someone who is more curious and driven by purpose.
Or someone who is finally motivated by money and fame, just long enough to pay off the mortgage and get a bit of breathing room.
It’s your choice.
Who you are is not something that’s set in stone. There’s no Committee to Make Sure You Never Change.
With every new breath, you get to decide: am I happy with the way I am or do I want to be different?

Our renters are due to arrive next week, our SUV is packed and we have enough dog food to last the first 800 miles. It’s time to begin the adventure. I’m calling it a “pre-book tour” because I’m determined to write (at least one) book during our five-month adventure. As a subscriber to this newsletter, you’ll get sneak peeks at what I write.
I have one request, and that is that you share this issue with a few different people. (I am a much better writer when I know someone is waiting to read my scribblings.
Bon voyage!
Today I Am ….. wow, where do I begin? Your writings are so inspirational and thought provoking. I will write this on my mirror!
