See Me Shine From A MILE With That SMILE

Well, here we are celebrating the end to another weekend and the start of yet another week.

And, in case you didn’t know, the tenth month of the year has officially started and Mother Nature has been making herself known to us through the crisp, cool morning breezes and exuberant colors of leaves that have started to change on the branches of trees which surround us every which way we look.

Sometimes, when Mother Nature decides to blow some fierce winds to make the tree branches sway back and forth, I almost feel like I can hear the gentle breeze talking to me.

Anyone else ever experience this?

And as the leaves begin to fall on the very ground that we walk (which by the way, I am NOT a fan of raking leaves), and display their multiple colors, shapes, and sizes swirling around in the fierce winds of Fall (and to give you a visual…I think of the colorful leaves moving through the blustery air during the sequence of “Colors of the Wind” in the Disney movie Pocahontas), I can’t help but think to myself that the world around us–which just so happens to be made up of multiple entities of different shapes, sizes, and colors is continuing to head down a violent path of both darkness and coldness.

Hatred.

Shootings.

Racial injustice.

Bullying.

Violence.

Health Crisis.

Natural Disasters.

Political Unrest.

Uncertainty.

An Historic Upcoming Election.

Fear.

These just happen to be the first couple of entities that came to my mind when writing this blog post; however, the list goes on and on.

And on.

And the world continues to feel like it is spiraling out of control toward an abyss of darkness.

But if you are like me, you continue to strive each day to search for answers, guidance, love, support, kindness…and everything in between.

It can be hard some days to find that energy to smile, to put forth a positive energy, to keep the optimism of brightness glowing.

But gosh darn it, I try.

And in the coming year of 2021, I will embark on a journey with my biggest project/undertaking to date that will hopefully give the world just a little bit of the much-needed love, kindness, sunshine, and smiles it needs. I got to meet with a crucial entity that will be a part of my mission in the new year and I can say…without a doubt…150% that I am filled with even more enthusiasm and passion to bring this project to all of you. And the entity that I will be working with is one that I couldn’t be more thrilled about.

I promise you that the reveal on January 4, 2021 will be one that is worth the wait. And it will be something that each and every one of you will be able to participate in…because I will need your support.

Any guesses as to what the project might be?

Well, the only hint you are getting this week is that there are two key words in the title of this week’s blog that may or may not have something to do with it…

So, circle your calendars if you haven’t already for January 4, 2021.

Because until then…my lips are sealed.

Oh, and please register to VOTE if you haven’t already.

And the next time you are out walking amongst the crisp, cool morning breezes and you see the leaves of multiple shapes, sizes, and colors fall in front of you, remember that this world needs YOU to be the light and sunshine.

Sprinkle sunshine always…and VOTE,

JP!
