365 days...365 opportunities To challenge & push myself, To recognize & celebrate others' strengths, To get messy & learn from failed attempts, To wake up early & chase dreams, To smile more & spread positivity, To connect & collaborate, To show gratitude, And be APPRECIATIVE for this life. One. Little. Word. Yet, to the person who claims the word for the year, it holds so much potential. My #OneWord2019 is APPRECIATIVE. In chasing dreams, empowering others, and continuing to grow in 2019, I am starting with appreciation. Tony Robbins says, "Change your expectations for appreciation and your whole world changes in an instant."
Instead of feeling owed in 2019, I want to feel awed! By appreciating people...ideas...the moment, experiences are amplified. Opportunities to say thanks, support others, and change the world for the better are surprising and genuine. I'm choosing moments of awe over moments of owe in 2019.

Showing appreciation not only benefits those we compliment but an attitude of gratitude affirms of all that is good in the world. Promotes a positive mindset for all other parts of our lives as well. Wonderful word!
