Efforts may become accomplishments.

Dreams and hopes may be fulfilled.

And I hope they do for us all. But my greater hope, is that through strivings of self improvement, we can see, value, and  affirm one another in a more intentional way than before. 

Let's compliment someone. 

Let's recognize life giving efforts around us.

Let's stretch ourselves, seeking what is valued and held with hands of hope.

We each hold so many beautiful things within and outside of us.

Somehow, we have a tendency to let some of those things die inside when we can’t speak life into them with affirmation toward ourselves and those around us.

May we choose compliments over judgement.

Verbal affirmation over silence.

Let what was forgotten, unseen, and undervalued, be unleashed to see its full potential as a whole.
