Whatever you say, you’re right!

I’m broke.

I’m poor.

I’m fat.

Who is your judge?

February 20th, 2009

This quote arrived in my inbox earlier today……

“If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge.”

Today I promise myself to continue to lead by example and encourage others to move forward into the lives they desire. Life is too short to allow ourselves to be consumed by others dreams. So whatever you dream or desire – go for it TODAY!

In gratitude,
