I often walk a very steep set of stairs during my morning workout. It’s like a Zen practice for me. I go up and down about 10 times and the repetition gets my creative juices flowing.
I recently met a new friend on the steps. Her name is Lorna and she’s 84 years old. Yep, no kidding. Every day, Lorna walks up these stairs, as she finishes her morning walk. She has a perky, sparkly personality, a beautiful smile and luminous skin. She even takes the time to put on lipstick before she leaves the house! (I for sure, don’t). The first time we met, I told her she was amazing and she said that I was. Now each time we see each other, we say to each other: YOU’RE AMAZING! See pictures of Lorna below.
Lorna has osteoporosis and aches but she’s committed to walking everyday because she’s promised her children that she’ll live to be 100. I say, that’s AMAZING. It’s also inspiring, awesome, determined, and disciplined. She is so committed to both herself and her loved ones. Rock On.
When I saw Lorna, the other morning, I gave her a High 5 and pronounced, WE BOTH ARE AMAZING! Then we hugged each other. That simple gesture made my day and I’m sure hers. My heart was full of pure joy.
As women, no matter what age, we all crave and want each other’s support and connection. We need to encourage, acknowledge and inspire one another – everyday. So we can lift each other up, so we can feel good, so we can be better, so we can all rise – together.
What are you committed to – right now? My hope is that you truly commit to yourself and to whom or what matters to you.
