Nearly a year ago I visited my cousin along the shores of Lake Superior. She and I both married into this wonderful extended family we share. By all descriptions and measures you would say she is living her dream life. I understand she has known deep grief and challenges along the way. Because of this, she is one of my role models for living a great life.?
I happened to see this cute little vignette on her book shelf. I said – “oh, I love that quote.” Immediately she produced another copy of the sticker, and said “it’s yours.”?
I’ve had that phrase on my kitchen chalkboard for these past 11 months, and these words impact me in a way I can’t quite fully describe. They motivate, they affirm my decisions, and they encourage me to challenge myself.?
While I always choose a word for the year, this phrase serves more as an intention and a call to action. And I find myself noticing others living a great story more than I might have otherwise.
We have one life, one chance to live it as something we are proud of, inspired by - our legacy. Yes, be the architect of your life and definitely live a great story!?

2 年Latashia White is living a great story! I know her for her leadership of our Blue Cross Women’s Associate Resource Group and her volunteerism in community. It’s not surprising that she also shines on stage in multiple roles. Catch her in Legally Blonde with Ashland Productions over three weekends. She’s a shining star! https://ashlandproductions.secure.force.com/ticket/#/
