"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make, which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot for see." -Marian Wright Edelman
So, recently I have been challenged by something. Over the past few months I have been extremely busy. Going to Africa, getting married, honeymoon, and visiting family. During this time I have to admit that I was anxious to get back and continue building be Lovely. Not that I didnt enjoy all those moments....cause I did...tons. I just want be Lovely to grow. I want people to know the vision and be the action of what be Lovely is all about. I want to share the passion in my heart and make it infectious.
But, one thing I struggled with in the last two months was understanding that I could make a difference in the everyday life I was living no matter how busy I was. My actions needed to be my voice.
I dont know if anyone has ever read the book "How to be Lovely" by Melissa Hellstern. But my business be Lovely is partially based off that book and how to live genuinely with grace. It has been one of my goals since I read the book myself.
Learning that its not about making it big by things you accomplish in life (although great) but the actions and words you share with others while accomplishing those things. When you make life about caring for others and putting them before yourself it makes life easier on you. Not that you shouldnt take care of yourself....thats not the point. The more often you care for others the less you think about the small details in life that dont matter and your world becomes revolved around giving life to situations instead of pulling from them negatively.
Thoughts as you dream your big dreams. Dont forget about the "small" details, because those end up being the big ones that change lives.
