- Note to Self:
Put Some Skin in the GameDear Self,
You can’t win unless you put some skin in the game. It’s gotta be your skin though and not just hopeful wishing while watching others play the game!
You can’t experience the joy of winning while you’re unengaged, sitting comfortably in the bleachers.
It’s easy to peer from the sidelines and watch others play the game (and even be envious of the milestones they’ve accomplish.) But the truth is, they put some skin in the game, which is why they are where they are today. They didn’t just watch from the distant sidelines.
Winners are willing to step out onto the field, do whatever it takes to learn the ins and outs of the game, and pay the price by getting into the thick of it. In fact, in the process of playing the game, they often get scuffed up, bruised and tackled unexpectedly from behind.
Those playing the game experience injuries and setbacks along the way, but that doesn’t stop them.
And, by the way, they don’t instantly win the first time they play the game. It’s a process of learning and getting back up again and again when they get tackled.
Self, in order to win the game it’s gonna cost you some skin. But the skinny truth is, that’s what’s required of you. The game is yours to play if you want, but you have to get out on the field and play instead of enviously watching from the sidelines.
You know that I’m your biggest cheerleader! The next step is up to you though. How are you going to get off the bleachers today and start playing in the game?

I CAN & I WILL Brain Camp is an action plan journal that empowers you to not just start a goal, but to cross the finish line! You may begin your journey with good intentions, but are those intentions strong enough to keep you going? When a moment of weakness or an overwhelming feeling that it’s too difficult whispers in your ear, it becomes easy to slip back into bad habits, abandon the projects or ideas you’re working toward, or give up on the dream you’ve been chasing.
Along with inspirational thoughts and ideas, this book includes a 100-Day Action Plan Journal to help you push through those tough times when you just want to quit.
Psst! Do you want to know a secret? You’re worth the effort! So don’t give up on yourself today. I’m not talking about tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. I’m focusing on today and only today as you graciously give yourself the gift of not giving up. Why do I say this? Because success is ultimately found in one place: TODAY! What you do today is the determining factor in achieving your goal. Good thing today is your da

Story or Poem
The Sweater & The Kite
A cozy, soft sweater that fits just right.
A wistful idea to spark and ignite.
A roller coaster, if not for the height.
A dark moment to shine forth a light.
A wayward son that’s worth the fight.
A sticky situation, an unexpected plight.
A giggling child to laugh with and excite.

God-Moment
Riding the rollercoaster!
Sometimes our life is like a rollercoaster…
It’s up and down and all around. We figure one thing out, and swish, the bottom drops out from underneath us, and we’re spiraling downward. We struggle through that situation and then click-clack we’re finally ramping upwards. That is… until we get an unexpected turn that throws us for a loop.
Hi, I'm Kally
Hey there! I’m here to be a ray of sunshine and to put a pep in your step so you can live life fully today!
Whether you need a quicker-picker-upper to energize your day (who doesn’t need that?), or if you’re facing giants and life feels heavy and bleak, you’ve come to the right place!
I’ve been through the good, the bad, and the ugly, (as I’m sure you have as well!) and I’ve learned some life nuggets along the way. My one minute Life Notes will fuel your tank and inspire you to move forward and to find hope in the moment. Plus, if you have more time, check out the writings and God-Moments.
I know your time is valuable, so my Life Notes only take a minute of your time; one minute that motivates you to take a step forward – to help you believe in yourself, your purpose and your value. You matter! The piece you contribute to this life matters.
Keep in mind, you don’t need to conquer the world today, you just need to take one single step.
Life isn’t about taking a giant leap forward to get to that big moment, but rather those small steps and the day-by-day journey that slowly but surely helps you reach a bigger goal. Small but steady steps are the key.
Whatever you’re facing, or whatever your life ambitions are, I believe in you. I believe in the good in you. I believe you are here for a purpose, and the world is a better place because you’re here. Or, at least it can be. I believe you can get through the yuck and muck and come out shining on the other side.
Take my hand, grab your phone, and smile. Let’s take a selfie!
