I’m sitting here thinking “How did I miss that?” … How did I miss not paying attention to Women’s Human Rights for 50-years.
I love my mother. I love my sisters. I love the women in my family. And I love my friends.  How did I miss not paying attention to what’s been going on with women?
Now that I think of it, I didn’t miss it, I just let it slip my mind. My Aunt Lois used to be my guiding light on how to act right with women or anyone else for that matter. She’s been gone for some time now, which makes me realize one thing that I miss about her. I miss the accountability for treating women as this gentleman is supposed to.

As I take this moment to see her looking down from heaven on me, I can see her smiling and saying “that’s my nephew!” And she is saying that because the first step to caring about women is to ask one woman what she is struggling with.

What are you struggling with right now?

Choice happens when we’re able to pick one candidate. 

Voting happens when we put in the effort to understand what we are looking for and why we prefer who we prefer.

It not only requires focus, but it also requires a commitment to do your homework.  It might be scary to think about the kind of world you want and how you want to feel after you vote. Maybe that gut of yours isn’t as reliable as you thought. What’s the worst that can happen if you do your homework? or…

What’s the worst that can happen if you don’t vote at all?

When I step back, what do I see????

• How am I starting my day?
• Am I making enough money to cover my spend?
• How are my relationships with my family?
• Am I aware of my emotions?
• How are my friendships?
• Am I doing enough work to pay myself?
• How is my health?
• Am I aware that my life is great right now?
• How is my spiritual life?
• Am I doing what it takes to have a great love relationship?
• How is my sex life?
• Am I learning what is right in front of me?
• How am I staying true to my character?
• Am I ready for brighter days?

What do you see when you step back????

It’s OKAY that you haven’t cleaned out your closet yet…

It’s OKAY that you haven’t worked out yet…

It’s OKAY that you haven’t figure this all out yet…

It’s OKAY that you haven’t sorted out how to eat healthy yet…

It’s OKAY that you are getting more sleep than usual..

It’s OKAY that you have more time than usual…

It’s OKAY that you are afraid..

It’s OKAY to feel the pain…

It’s OKAY to wait…

It’s OKAY to have a lot of ideas but not know how to start…

AND it’s PERFECTLY OKAY to be in this pandemic moment…. and not know what to do next…

When I was running with one of my bulls today (my buddies), we talked about the purpose of the pilot light. He is a co-owner of a restaurant and I thought “what would happen if the pilot light went out at his restaurant? Would the world end? Would people not know what to do?”

Of course the world wouldn’t end but what if each of us had a pilot light inside of us that went out and we didn’t even know it.

Would we still have our creative spark?

Would we still whistle while we worked?

Would we still pursue our passions?

When you are feeling down and out, do a quick pilot light check and continuously pursue your dreams.

…. And if it’s out, surround yourself with a bunch of people whose pilot lights shine brightly.
