Hello friends and family,

I hope you are well and having an amazing July so far! I am sending some good vibes your way for this new day.

This week's theme is “Next Level of DOI”

I have been putting off this next phase for a while, honestly with all the excuses that I can give you the only one that applies is I needed to get over myself and start.

I had a great call with an amazing subscriber for Inspiration Labs and wow was I in tears afterwards. Seeing her growth over these last few years and also hearing her new dream and brainstorming it with her was incredible.

How did this little newsletter turn into people starting businesses?

I am amazed at the development of Dose of Inspiration. It’s as if it’s creating a life of its own and I am just here for the ride.

Now I need some help with some research as I move this from just words on a page to social media…

Please take a moment to fill in this quick survey so I know what to prioritize for you. As you show up weekly to read this I want to be co-created with you.

Your task this week:

• Do something small for your health. Maybe it’s a healthy meal, a long walk, or a quick 10-minute stretch.

Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love. 

🤙🏾 Inspiration Labs

Inspiration Labs is a 1-hour call where we dive into your project, career, life, or big dream. This free session is to gain clarity, dream bigger, and walk out with 1 action step to start moving forward. This is the value I am adding back to the world 💫

I will open new sessions weekly for this. To have this available to everyone, you are allowed 1 session only. (Sorry I wish, I had all the time in the world to only do this but I have to work too)

I started working out here in Mexico City but somehow my body born at sea level is not adapting to being so high up. Mexico City is 2500+ meters above sea level.

So with this comes new challenges and breathing, stamina, and endurance are the new goal/must-do activities to stop passing out randomly. It’s funny and not funny at the same time.

Anyway… this is a quick 10-minute guided session to help you breathe better. Take the time and, do this video.

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Ekow Nimako

I have a few friends obsessed with Lego and after playing with theirs and being gifted my own set I can see the appeal. Now, what happens when you take an artist with a strong vision and give them a Lego set…they create Magic.

Meet Ekow Nimako, an artist from New York who makes these incredible creations.

“It was important to create a hero in the image of a young, Black warrior”.

I hope that all kids grow up seeing some representation that reminds them of their greatest selves.

🎶 Song of the week

I heard him do a live version recently and, I was reminded of the beauty of this song. This week is a throwback to one of the most beautiful songs …

Enjoy! And also it’s a reminder to look for the beauty in you daily ❤️

❤️ Shared by Rana for a friend

I’m raising funds to ship donated ice hockey equipment to Ushuaia, Argentina. My son’s team generously donated this gear to support the local program, and now we need your help to get it there. This short video provides more details and shows footage from a recent trip to Ushuaia.

Every contribution brings us one step closer to supporting these young athletes. If you can't donate, please share this link with anyone who loves Argentina and ice hockey.

Thank you! 🙏 🇦🇷 🏒

💫 Send me info if you want to use this space 🙂 Happy to help promote those who need it.

Final thoughts:

I saw a baby being pulled out of the rubble again today on social media. On Friday night I watched a hit and run outside my home. Thankfully the community ran and jumped on his car so he could not get away. A few years back the world saw a baby washed up on the shore of a beach …he was a refugee trying to find a safe space.

Every day there is something bad happening somewhere in the world. Every tomorrow we move on from it. It’s weird being human.

I hope you all have a practice for grounding and resetting your soul ❤️
