Let Your Dreams Lead the Way

May 19, 20251 min read

Happy Monday! Isn’t it great. It’s the start of a new week. It’s a reset button, a chance to realign with your purpose, and a moment to say, “Yes, I’m ready.”

One of my favorite quotes to kick off the week is:
"Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart." – Roy T. Bennett

This morning, I had my journal in one hand and a warm cup of coffee in the other. As the aroma filled the air, I sat by the window reflecting on my goals—not just the big ones, but the simple, soul-nurturing ones. I asked myself: What can I do today that gets me one step closer to who I want to be?

That’s what I want to ask you:
What’s one small step you can take today that your future self will thank you for?
It could be writing one paragraph, calling someone you’ve been thinking about, or just giving yourself permission to rest.

You don’t have to do it all. You just have to start. And today is a perfect day for that.

Let’s make this week count—together.

With love and purpose,
