Although I created this blog to devote to my running
journey, I have also embarked upon a health and beauty journey. Essentially, I
want to be a healthy, whole and well-rounded woman.
I am a new fan of blogger Lauren Mechelle. Not only
does she have the best giveaways online (which actually sparked this blog
post), but she is living the life I believe many young ladies dream of. She is
pursuing her dreams, sharing her gifts with the world, and not afraid to
explore unfamiliar territories.
Although I frequent her blog for beauty and DIY
tips, I decided today to browse through her “life” category. I was very excited
to read about her recap of her attendance at Workshops for Women, organized by
Councilwoman Blondell Brown in Philadelphia.
In this post (http://www.laurenmechelle.com/2014/03/councilwoman-browns-workshops-women/),
she shares treasures of information that will help in progressing her passion
and career. I love reading articles like this!
Too often people complain about they cannot do and
what they will never accomplish. I know. I use to be one of them. But sometimes
you have to take “life” by the reigns and insist on doing better and going
higher.
The sky’s the limit!
Network outside of your comfort zone. Dream big and
don’t be ashamed. I love running with my whole, but it isn’t everything. I
believe that in order for me to be a whole person, I have to say yes to more
than just one or two opportunities.
Thank you Lauren for overcoming intimidation, saying
yes to life, and sharing it with the world!
Running Quote of the
Week -
"I always loved running...it was
something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in
any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like
it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of
your lungs." – Jesse Owens
