8 days in

I'm 8 days in to the "Think On Purpose Challenge" and something fabulous happened today.

I woke up early and listened to the affirmation on living "My Highest Purpose."

It's SO moving!

I wrote it after watching Oprah one night and feeling like I want "that life".
One that is completely 'used up', in a change-the-world and have-my-life-make-a-massive-difference kind of way.

Then my newly-5-year-old daughter woke up.

She and I ate breakfast together and listened to the "I am an Amazing Kid" affirmation that she recorded with me when she was 4 1/2.

It effected her instantly.

In the past couple weeks, I've noticed her behavior turn a bit sassy and rude...talking back and making mean 'I don't have to listen to you, mom, faces.'

But today, as she listened to her affirmation, we connected.

We began reminiscing about memories she has, good and bad, and I know she felt heard and seen and loved because she smiled at me, tilted her head to the side and said, "You're the best mom ever."

I'm so grateful that these affirmations have become a powerful tool for us to start fresh with each day.

I feel peaceful, connected, loving, and free.

What a great way to start our day!
