Hello ,
Welcome to this week’s issue of The Ripple Effect and some inspiration for your
week.
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!
We spent
the weekend with my husband Matt’s family at his sister’s lake house on Kerr Lake. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend and a great way to start our summer. You might sense that by the below images… This week’s quote is in honor of Memorial Day earlier this week. It’s sometimes easy to forget the meaning behind the day with all the Memorial Day weekend / start of summer celebrations but I found this quote and thought it captured the heart of what giving back and serving is all about. I also find that when we give back and serve others it’s a double benefit. Not only are we helping others but doing so also fills us
up in ways that I’m sure you understand! I know I get tons of joy and fulfillment when I support various organizations I’m passionate about (Basset Rescue of Old Dominion (BROOD), Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN), for example).
Feel free to pass this along to anyone who may benefit from reading it. Keep spreading those positive ripple
effects!
Wishing you joy and success,
Andria
Check out our latest blog posts: Helpful Tips for Self-Love: The following is an article by Louise Hay that I personally love, use
as a reminder for myself, and use with my clients. As we step into the seasons of Spring and Summer, seasons of growth and re-birth, I wanted to share it with all of you. We tend to be very hard on ourselves and are much better at loving others than ourselves. Hopefully Louise Hay’s wise words will inspire you to re-engage with practicing consistent self-love as well as evolving into a more self-loving individual. Enjoy! [Read more...]

“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.” ~ Denzel Washington
This quote reminded me of all the heroes who’ve given their time and their lives in service to our country. It reminded me of the countless people they have lifted up and lives they have
made better because of their service. It also reminded me that we each can have this same impact every day, should we choose to do as Denzel Washington suggests: lift others up, make their lives better, and give back.
This week’s inspirational activity: Spend some time giving back to a cause you’re passionate about this week. Not only will you lift up someone who needs it but you’ll also lift yourself in the process.
Enjoy! |
