Positive energy is contagious too. Share it!

Months ago when we planned our annual #PowerOfPositiveSummit, we had no idea the world would be facing what it is today. Seems even more appropriate to have it now. 30+ amazing speakers. Free online April 2-8. Sign up and spread the word. powerofpositivesummit.com

A little encouragement can go a long way. A simple “do it again” or reminding someone that they are loved. Whatever it is, make time to bring out the best in others today. P.S., Don’t let social distancing stop you from lifting others up. Send a text. Make a call. Reach out.

Please consider making a donation to United Way if possible. They are buying essential needs for local families who are struggling with income loss during this scary time. We just donated and it feels great! Text VIRUS to 91999 to make your donation. 😍 Please share!

You are loved. You matter. Simple words that can mean so much. Make sure you say them to yourself and to someone else today.

Be careful of watching too much news during this time. It can overwhelm and depress you. Ironically the more it does we return to it like a drug seeking to feel better only to feel worse. Use the media for information but then shut it off for your mental health.

Sometimes we just need to pause, smile and remember that today is a gift. Take time to enjoy it.
