Sometimes the spark isn’t gone — it’s just been waiting for you to slow down and notice it again. What’s one small dream you want to reignite? 🌟

@Mark Eldridge in his community Success Connect Friends is encouraging this members, to take some time to dream big for the next 5 years. Check out Marks Post: 🌿 I absolutely love the prompts for the 5-Year Adventure Map! It’s such a powerful reminder that our future isn’t built in one giant leap — it’s shaped through small, intentional steps we choose every single day. As carers, parents, and people who’ve spent years putting others first, it’s easy to forget that our dreams still matter too. Resources like this help us pause, reflect, and reconnect with the bigger picture of what we want our life to look like — for ourselves and for our families. What I appreciate most is how simple and accessible this map is. You don’t need hours of free time (because let’s be honest, most of us don’t have that). You just need a moment of clarity, a spark of hope, and a willingness to dream again. 💛 If you’ve been feeling the nudge to design a life with more freedom, travel, creative expression, or time for your family… this is such a beautiful place to begin. I’d love to know —✨ What’s one adventure you’d love to experience in the next 5 years? Big or small, it all counts. Let’s cheer each other on as we design lives that feel meaningful, spacious, and truly ours. 🌊🌟 Just in case you are not able to follow this link, here are the prompts for you to get started: Grab a notebook and pretend it's December 31st, 2030. Answer these questions and write down every detail like it's already true: - 🏡 Where do you live? (A cool apartment? A house with a big yard?) - 💰 How much money are you making? (Be brave and write a big number!) - 💪 What is your body like? (Are you super healthy? Strong? Full of energy?) - 💡 What big problem are you solving for people? (How are you helping the world?) Thank you @Mark Eldridge for "helping our world".

When You Start Paying Attention… You See the Ripple Effect Everywhere Lately, I’ve been noticing the ripple effect in the smallest moments — A message from someone I didn’t know was watching… A quiet “thank you” from a parent who finally feels seen… A business win from a woman who once doubted she could ever do this… It reminded me of something powerful: 💛 We rarely see the full impact of our actions in real time. Every encouraging word, every step we take toward our own dreams, every time we show up — someone is watching… and someone is inspired. The ripple effect grows in places you may never visit, in hearts that you may never ever meet in person, in stories that are still unfolding. Something to think about for today: Notice the ripples you’re creating —in your family, your community, through your creativity, with your courage, and with your willingness to start again. ✨ You’re making an impact simply by being you… and by choosing to show up. What ripples have you noticed lately? 🌊💛

Your dreams will meet you halfway when you start taking the smallest steps toward them. You get to rise and gently build the life you really want…or stay in the rhythm that you have already outgrown. Success isn’t luck. It is simply showing up —on the good days, the busy days, the tired days, even the days where it all feels a little uncomfortable. Most people don’t fall short because they’re not capable.They fall short because they never begin…or they pause the moment it feels hard. But us? Every morning we are offered a choice: ✨ Stay where you are or. ✨ Take one small, meaningful step toward the life you’re creating. One choice keeps the dream alive. The other brings it to life. You don’t need to go fast, you just need to keep moving —one calm, courageous step at a time. 🌊💛 What dream are you working towards at the moment?

Caring for others doesn’t mean disappearing yourself. Your story, your goals, your joy — they matter just as much. 💛 I am reminded yet again as I settle back into my routine with my daughter after an epic week away - child free in New Zealand. Listening to my daughter complain about Cat in the Hat in the distance as I type this post and I think .... OK. Back to reality. What tips do you have to remember that it is ok for you to take time for yourself? I would love to hear them.
