Hello friends and family!

Happy Wednesday and Happy 1st Birthday to A Dose of Inspiration! To celebrate this incredible journey I bought my baby a tree!

Greenpop

is an organization that plants trees in Africa. I have been supporting them for over 7 years, mostly for surprising people and in the process adding goodness to the world. Now I have one of my own! 

Are you ready for year 2 of A Dose of Inspiration?

Hello and welcome to the new subscribers. Thank you for joining us on this weekly adventure for a Dose of Inspiration and tips to Create A Life You Love and Go Live It. 

The theme of this week is consistency. 

There is so much magic in being consistent with something. I am someone who loves newness and is inspired by new adventures, conversations, and everything different from the day before. 

However, after a year of writing this newsletter every week and sharing it every Wednesday, it gave me this lesson: 

• Being consistent gives you an extra boost of motivation for life. After seeing yourself show up for whatever you decided week after week, you prove to yourself that you can do anything. (This should be an activity for kids in school - give them their own project to build for a year and see their confidence grow!)

Task this week/ year: 

• Pick one thing, one goal that you want to work on, and commit to doing it once a week. 

• That's it, nothing more than once a week for an entire year ...then let me know when you hit week 53! 

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

One tree for every year :)

15 Books To Read In 2022 - Ali Abdaal

The best way to level up your life is to start consuming new knowledge in different forms. This year my goal is to read 1 book a month. (You can hold me accountable to this - I need it) 

Here is a great list of some amazing reads for leveling up, especially for anyone trying to start or grow a business! 

Artists Who Inspire 

Artist: Khari Turner

Okay, new year and more artists to fall in love with. Starting with Khari Turner. How can I not fall in love when his words are this perfect

“Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances”. 

So the pieces caught my attention but his words are the most impactful. I love artists with a vision for helping the youth and giving back. 

I want to start an organization that specializes in giving back efforts to young artist and creating murals in low income environments to promote community health, pride, and clean neighborhoods, while trying to fight gentrification of these areas. Being an artist is so much about giving and I feel it’s so important to give back to the community. - Khari Turner 

A good reminder for us to create and then empower the next generation, not only with money but with the mindset and spaces to grow and thrive.

Song of the week 

Of course, the music gets better this year! Enjoy this gem by Otis Kane and Kallitechnis. Otis creates my favourite kind of jams, it's got that old-school funk vibe and puts you in a great space! Enjoy this one. Headphones on and turn it up. This is a dance track and you want to be moving!

If I Did, You Can Too!
