Whispers. (October ‘17)
Every day, your life whispers to you. Are you listening?
Recently, I’ve been replaying this video of Oprah talking about life’s whispers. I’m trying to pay more attention now than ever to what it tells me so that I can continue to learn and grow each day. These are a collection of tidbits — reflections, quotes, scriptures, thoughts, mantras, and whatnot. For the most part, I’m writing to myself, but if any of these words can serve you, I hope they serve you well. October has often served as a particularly life-changing month each year so I found the timing to be especially fitting. I’m not sure what will come of this, but I’m choosing to post it here to hopefully keep me accountable. Feel free to check back again tomorrow evening! ✨
