Hello friends and family,

Happy Mid-July! I hope you are well, in good health, and feeling blissful about life. I can’t believe I am at issue 180 of a Dose of Inspiration. It feels like nothing but also, like 180 different newsletters, artists, music, and themes! Crazy.

Again if I can do this, so can you.

This week's theme is “Follow Along”

I’m taking this to social media and I am going to do this. But it is taking longer to start than a usual project.

I am going to be completely honest and let you know that there is a part of me that does not want to do this.

I don’t want to be online, I want to be out in the world walking around and dancing salsa. Also living a nice quiet life offline is the new dream.

But I said I would do it so it will happen. Below is a QR code to follow this journey of taking Dose of Inspiration to social media.

I have all the knowledge, insight, friends to help, and YouTube to learn from. I have the project mapped out and ready but I can’t start and when I do and something fails I push this to the next day. (I know I am not alone with this)

Have you ever felt like this?

I am fully equipped to do this and on another hand, fighting with myself to begin.

This is how most projects without a big dose of motivation begin. So hey! We now know…inspiration alone is not enough to get this done, you need motivation and action.

Hopefully next week a video will be up ….

Your task this week:

• Follow me on TikTok if you hang out over there, and help me see the support for this next phase.

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)

Love this! Become your future self. For you to do this, you need to get a clear vision. This quick video gives you a plan on how to do this. What is the vision you have for your future self?

(I must completely shift my vision to get this next level of DOI done. LOL …vision of an influencer ….arghhhhhh, now this is why I haven’t begun.)

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Ria Ridwana

I stumbled happily on this artist/architect recently, and I love her work, Meet Ria Ridwana from Indonesia. There are so many details and history behind her sketches and you buy these prints if you see something you like.

🎶 Song of the week

Wow, this voice! Simply magic. Nathy Peluso and this band is pure heaven for your ears. Take the time to relax and enjoy this concert…or use it as background music while you work.

❤️ 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:

Some things in life are easy and some things are not. Usually, it’s the ones that are not easy that you need to get done and that are good for you.

I hope you all find the motivation to get things done. As you can see I am in the same boat with this one. But tomorrow is a new day...and this journey continues.
