Go Ahead, Say It


The month of may is just getting started and I am so excited. Did you know that May is Give A Compliment month? OK, so I made that up. I am instituting “Give A Compliment” month. Just a few days ago I saw someone in a beautiful dress and I thought it to myself but didn’t say anything. Then I did it again. Do I give compliments? Yes. However, I was thinking that so often, we appreciate people, the things they do or even their style, but we don’t say anything. So the next time I saw someone and admired them internally, I told them. “That color looks so good on you.” You should have seen how her entire disposition changed. You would have thought I had given her twenty dollars. She stood a little taller and smiled a little brighter. Now that is power. Think about it, if you can do that for someone, anything less seems kind of…stingy. So I will continue to give compliments generously and without hesitation, making a conscious and concentrated effort this month. Give it a try, and let me know how that works out for you.

Speaking of compliments, I had to post these pictures of Chilli, taken by famed photographer, Derek Blanks. Is she representing for the undeniably grown crowd, or what? Actually, she could deny it if she wanted to. She is the spokesperson for Dasani. Visit the website to begin your water routine, calendar and guide. They are serious. I don’t know what they are putting in that water, but I am going to buy a case today. Go Chilli!
