❤️ SOHP Weekly: Feeling Cranky

This week I’ve been feeling a little crankier than I have been for no particular reason. How are you feeling?

Like you, I just want my life back. And I realize that isn’t happening. We’ll get closer to our old life but we’ll still be creating a new normal. Like I don’t know if we’ll ever shake hands again. It makes me a little sad. In part because I’m realizing I took so many of my happy moments for granted because they were just normal. Have you noticed that?

I’m trying to be more mindful. More grateful (because happiness is still happening). And on social media less.

What are you doing as the country starts re-opening phase so we can learn to co-exist with this virus?

I still feel the hope I discussed last week in the long-term. So my crankiness is more like a cold that I know will go away.

In the meantime I’m praying for patience, talking more to friends to up my people contact, and pivoting work-wise. If you happen to need an online training for your leaders about keeping employees engaged in a pandemic world or something for your employees let me know. I’m doing them virtual now.

As always stay safe, stay home if you feel you should, wear masks if you can, and keep noticing those happy moments.

As always stay safe, stay home if you can, and keep noticing those happy moments.

Wishing you peace, luv & lots of smiles!!

PS … This is still true this week:

I’m still sending little gifts to the essential workers.

I’m waiting on some addresses and if you’re one send me an email.

Hope to have them out early next week.

Your mission should you choose to accept it this week is to:

Have a Dress Up Day

Pick a day this week and dress up.

It might be something as simple as putting on some make-up or shaving

then getting out of your stretchy clothes.

Or pick a theme…beach day, the 70’s or 80’s, hats,

or princess-queen day.

Have a little fun and maybe get your family or friends involved–

you can do a zoom party or FB live.

????????????????

Friday is Shades Day so I thought I’d share one of my favorite pairs that I got last year–at Nordstrom Rack on clearance.

The shape and color were #SmileStarters for me.

Friday is also Straw Hat Day … although my red hat isn’t straw it matches the glasses so it’s in the spirit of the day.

Have a little fun with some of your spring and summer accessories and start a few smiles of your own.

We have a new SOHP Subscriber Resource page with lots of the goodies for you to download.

While I know some of you are doing well–thanks for sharing your stories with me–I also know many people are feeling some challenging feelings.

Therefore, I decided to postpone the launch of the Raise Your Vibe Challenge–it will be coming soon, but right now, for the next few days or weeks I feel we needed something a little more soulfully focused.

I’m hosting an 8 pm CDT (most evenings) Restore, Pray & Love FB Live.

If you’re not on FB, no worries, just sign up here and we’ll send you the daily videos.

This is Nurses Week — if you know one thank them for helping keep us healthy.
