This #ThankfulThursday here is your reminder to not let fear be the reason you don’t try something new. Life is beautiful and sometimes scary but sometimes the best part of the journey is on the other side of the scary stuff. Fear. Less. And, do it anyway.

I cannot believe I missed this last night. Who needs sleep? 5 hours and 15 minutes. I am hoping that there will be a replay but it is never ever as good as watching it live. Amazing. Congrats to #SinnerVSAlcaraz for making this US Open Tennis must see tv.

I’m not ready to comment on the passing of the queen except to say this. She lived 7 decades of her life in the public eye. She witnessed things we only see in black & white today. History will remember the good & the bad. Today let’s just say may God be with you. #QueenElizabeth

I am so fascinated by this. I just keep watching and trying to figure out how this is possible. Clearly I need to dig deeper to find my hidden talent. LOL. Happy Wednesday Folks!

You know how you see things in nature and wish you could be there to see it in person? Nope. Not swans. I am good with them only being on my ipad. So, enjoy from a distance folks and…Happy Friday!

I know most of you have stopped playing. But, not me. I was nervous today because it was missed by so many. And, to end my Friday we have….SUCCESS! It moves my rating of the day up by 2 points! #Wordle 454 6/6 ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This project is the definition of Heart Work. Watching from a distance while Viola Davis has been fighting to make this has been inspiring. She is a powerhouse who continues to carve out space where none existed & we thank her. See #WomanKing & find your inner warrior.

I have REALLY enjoyed watching the camaraderie of the men in tennis this week as Roger Federer takes the court for a final time tonight. What a career. What a gentleman. It is so great to follow a joyful story in the news. Can we get a sequel of this season please?

What a night for baseball & of course for Albert Pujols. This has been a month of amazing sports moments. Congrats to Albert! And, let’s have one more amazing moment before the month is over. Come on Judge. Rise Up! St. Louis Cardinals New York Yankees

Teachers make a difference. And, these teachers are a reminder that there are teachers working tirelessly everyday to make a connection and a few fabulous memories. This was a great one. #Teachers

What a moment, what a season…a year we won’t soon forget. Congrats to Aaron Judge! Thanks for reminding us how champions show up every step of the way. He bet on himself & is having the year of a lifetime. And, it’s NOT OVER YET. RISE UP! MLB New York Yankees

Definitely worth the watch. A great reminder about how much attitude matters. Just because you see a smile, it doesn’t mean that someone isn’t also going through tough times too. It’s not about never feeling challenged. It’s about pushing forward anyway. Kansas City Chiefs #NFLFilmsPresents

This is glorious. Angela Lansbury & Jerry Orbach recording Beauty & the Beast live with an orchestra! They are both gone now but their talent lives on and makes us wish for more beauty like this. #AngelaLansbury

I love this column, How to Build a Life. This week focused on the pursuit of happiness to truly have success. Like many, I am still trying to figure it out. A good read if you are still a work in progress too. #LifeLessons theatlantic.com/family/archive…

If there was ever any doubt that Dolly Parton is perfect…..this settles it. It is never too early to start celebrating Christmas!. What Would Dolly Do…is always a great life motto I think! #DollyParton

Learning to professionally disagree is one of the hardest skills to develop. There are some great tips here. My favorite is: a decision does not always require agreement. I hope you find a gem or two here too. #LeadershipJourney

Dusty Baker is the only man who could make me happy for the Houston Astros. He makes me smile & laugh every time I see him. Tonight was no exception. Cheers to Dusty, you deserve all the happiness, even if it had to be with the Astros. 100 days to Spring Training. Let’s go @yankees!

Every story on Dusty Baker makes me love him a little more. He thought he might never manage again, He wanted another chance but was ignored. Then he made history. He isn’t worried about what comes next. He knows it will all work out. Enjoy this read! apne.ws/BwJ5p66

There are many reasons to be frustrated with this platform right now. This ad from John Lewis & Partners reminds us what can be great about social media. It’s a small world & we need to find more ways to help each other. Cheers to the people who do more than talk about the problems.

This is a worthwhile read. One of the things I have learned lately is that your mind can believe anything; so be careful what you tell yourself and how you say it. Your inside voice is the real power broker of your life. Use that power wisely & with intention. #LearningOutLoud.
