Soar In 2019
Hello! So now that some of us have set new year's resolutions, we can stop dreaming and start soaring in 2019. How have you decided to soar in 2019? This can be a personal goal to take better care of ourselves by cooking healthy meals, sleeping more, or by exercising routinely. It can also be a professional goal to finish a degree, apply for your dream job, take a class, learn a new skill, or finally start that business you have been dreaming of. You can also give back to your community by volunteering and serving others who really need your help.
Whatever it is, I have realized that I cannot do everything on my own like I have been trying to do in the past. I am relying on my faith in God every day and trusting in His plan for my life. Don't worry if you feel lost, or don't know what or who you are supposed to be in this life. We all feel that way at times. Last year I faced personal struggles and financial setbacks. Honestly, my life was a mess, but I came to God in daily prayer and began to read his word. He filled me with peace, love, and more understanding of the people around me. I have learned so much and feel that I have grown into a different person through serving the homeless community and low income youth. I'm still learning so much about people and relationships, and I hope that never ends.
How will you serve others and soar this year?

Meaningful Mondays: If You Want To Know, "Just Ask"
You may think that asking questions is a such a simple idea however, so many of us don't have the courage to use this important communication skill. We often assume that we know the answers to the questions that have never been asked. These questions and the conversations that come next are so important. No problem can be solved, no relationship can be mended, and no common ground can be found unless we ask questions. Let's try to stay curious about people and ideas, and make an effort to continually learn something new. Let's try to keep an open heart, an open mind, and listen for everyone's truth. Let's seek first to understand, then be understood. If you want to know...Just Ask. Afterall, it's the best way for us to learn, grow, and move forward together.
With Love,
Joanna
