Keeping it Moving Forward
As a Mother and Grandmother, I am always looking for ways to propel my values and beliefs into my family legacy.  I do this by a series of actions. First by modeling the behavior Iā€™d like to see from them.
I have been doing this for ever treating others as I want to be treated is my go to standard. Second by showing them consistency of a healthy lifestyle and how living this way improves your quality of life and lastly by showering them with unconditional and unwavering love no matter the difficulties we may be having at one time or another.

This I do because life is short, as I know all too well in losing my best friend and late husband to (IPF) Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and then my beautiful daughter @ only 35 years young to Mental & Chronic health challenges. In my opinion, life like education is a series of building blocks, and I find that you need the first lesson in order to move onto the next.

If you want to keep it moving forward take the lessons you are learning, whether it be your education status, your street lessons or just your little victories in life and share them with others. Your story may just be the ignition needed to propel another soul towards their destiny. So, today's lesson never stop sharing your life's experiences with others because you just need to inspire one that may inspire many!

So, keep it moving....
PREVENT. PROMOTE. PROVIDE.
