Today's Life Note...
- Note to Self:
Let go of the crutches!Dear Self,
Are you crippled and hobbling around, not really going anywhere?
Are you playing it safe and not giving yourself permission to walk out the door to try something new because you’re afraid that you might stumble and fall?
What’s crippling you and telling you that you can’t do something before you even try?
Fear. Fear is the great crippler!
Fear takes away the confidence of your own two feet, so you question the ground you’re standing on.
Instead of stepping out, Self, you pull out your crutches, your excuses, and you hobble and wobble around, staying right where you are. Why? Because it’s comfortable and safe.
Someone else can conquer the world. Someone else can do it, but not you.
So here’s my advice to you today: Self stay crippled by your fear today. Hang on tightly to your crutches so you don’t topple over.
Unless…. I wonder what would happen if you dropped the crutches in your hand and boldly stepped forward, even if that step was wobbly?
You may find that you can walk on your own two feet… or even better yet, that you can run!
You may find that you didn’t need the crutches after all, and in reality, you weren’t even crippled to begin with.
Self, isn’t it time to let go of the crutches and find out if you can walk… or even run?

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

Cinderella’s Shoes
Ouch! These shoes are a tad too tight, rubbing irritably on the edge of my foot. My feet are starting to complain and blister. But, in spite of the lightning bolts of pain with each step I take, I really want to fit into these glass slipper shoes. They are so sheik and glamorous that everyone will ooo and ahh as I pass by and notice me.
Someone walked by earlier with these exact same shoes. I was so impressed that I knew I just had to have a pair.

God-Moment
If You Could Ask One thing of GOD What Would It be?
In my Bible time this morning, I was reading Psalm 27. In verse 4, David answers the question, “If I could ask one thing of GOD, what would it be?” His answer stopped me for a moment as I read it. I started thinking, “If I was asked this question, is this the first thing that would pop into my mind? Is this what I would ask GOD for if I could only ask one thing?” Ashamedly and honestly this would not be my first thought. I think of lists of circumstances and people that I love that need GOD’s intervention. And yet, humbly, this is the single most important request that each of us needs and should desire above all else. So today I thank GOD that through these words of David, He redirected my focus exactly where it needed to be:
Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek Him in His temple.
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!
