Inspiration!

It's been a while since I posted. Let's just say that we all have great aspirations when starting a blog, but they fall to the left when that awesome thing called LIFE happens :)

All is great and let's get back to work, because there is lots of stuff happening out there that I have thoughts on!

I won't lie - I've been sucked into the Lean In movement. Of course, everything taken in with a grain of salt but I like it. I like what it is telling folks out there and more than anything - it's inspiring. Who doesn't like inspiration?

So this post is about inspiration.

It's going to be short and sweet and full of common sense!

Follow this woman on twitter - Corrine Grousbeck. I just saw her speak at a conference. She's super inspirational, had a hell of roller coaster of a life, but rocks the world today with her story.

She gave a few tips including:

"The world is full of people who don't know who the F they are. [...] Avoid them. They will suck the life out of you."

"Don't waste your time & don't let others waste it either" "tik-f'ing-tok"

"Excuses are a way of making sure nothing changes."

"Stay curious. Learn. Be current. "

"Life is hilly. Appreciate the flat." The uphill is relentless but the downhill can be tough on the knees too. "

"If the org you're in doesn't support women, leave, start your own & put them out of business."

"Dont judge my journey ladies' ...you don't know my path."

"The end goal is happiness." Never have truer words been spoken.

These are all words to live by, whomever you may be.
