Today’s a new day! Will your next thought, word, social media post or action make someone’s day better or worse? Choose wisely. ~OC
Standing Beside You
Today’s a new day! True friendship and good character is all about how a person nurtures another person when they are vulnerable and can give very little in return. Thus, it’s not who’s standing beside you during good times, but the ones who stick by you through tough times that are your true friends.
So take note of who remains in your life when times get tough, especially the people who sacrifice the resources they have in their life to help you improve yours when you need it most. Seriously, when you come out the other side of a difficult period in your life, look around you. The people still standing beside you are your true friends. ~OC
Joy Filled Life
Today’s a new day! I think most people want to live a positive, joy filled life. I know I do. Here are four things I believe can help us achieve that goal.
*Fill our hearts and minds with positive thoughts. Let’s refuse to allow our hearts and minds to be filled with negativity.
*Fill our speech with positive words. Let’s guard what comes out of our mouths and what we share on social media.
*Fill our lives with positive places and situations. Where are you spending your time?
*Fill our lives with positive, joy filled people. Remember, we get to choose who we allow into our lives.
I hope you will spend some time reflecting on these four points today. I pray your day is filled with amazing moments and God’s blessings. ~OC
Starting a Campaign…Not a Political One
Today’s a new day! As I scroll through social media and watch the news, I am heartbroken about all the division I see in our world. So as I was praying and reflecting this morning, I thought how can I make the world a better and kinder place? So here is the idea that came to my mind. Are you ready?
Today, Saturday October 19, 2024, I am starting a campaign (no, not a political campaign), that I hope brings some smiles and happiness to a broken world. The campaign is called #OCencouragedmeto. I am encouraging everyone to perform a simple act of kindness for someone and share it on your social media pages or on the Facebook and Instagram pages OCencouragedmeto using the hashtag #OCencouragedmeto. These simple act of kindness could be an encouraging sticky note left on your coworkers desk, buying coffee or lunch for the person in the line behind you. It doesn’t have to be anything big. Just a simple act of love and kindness towards someone else, using the hashtag #OCencouragedmeto.
As I continue running this crazy beautiful health journey, I want to spend whatever time I have left encouraging people. I hope you will join me on this fun, let’s make someone smile adventure. ~OC
Let Love Win
Today’s a new day! I am tired of all the hate speech and division I see around me. It breaks my heart. More importantly, it breaks God’s heart. I will always believe that no one was born with hate in their hearts. Somewhere along their journey, they were taught to hate. Just like I was taught to love. I will always speak out against hate of any kind. I will confront hate when I see it. Even if that means standing up to a friend or loved one. I will not allow hate to touch my heart.
We can never let hate win. So be careful of the words and thoughts you allow to grow in your heart. Because eventually those thoughts will flow out of your mouth and cause pain and division. Or those hateful thoughts may flow out of your heart on to your social media pages. Once again causing pain and division. So today, examine what you have growing in your heart. I pray it’s hope and love. ~OC
