The Power of Influence
Do you know how much POWER your influence has? I went to the dermatologist this week, and was once again reminded of the influence I have on others. As I reflect on the conversation I had with my doctor and the genuine comments she made about me, I can’t help thinking about just how much all women influence others more than we may realize.
I may not have a big following just yet, but honestly, don’t we all influence those around us in some way?
We have those who look to us for inspiration in how we dress, fix our hair or makeup, how we walk and carry ourselves. But not only that, people watch our attitude! Have you thought about that? How you greet (or don’t greet) others, the small talk with a cashier or other people waiting in line. Do you take the time to help others reach an item on a high shelf, or are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time for others?
Oh yes, we all influence others in many ways!
And if you have raised children, you know the influence you have on them! Good or bad, they absorb it all. What we choose to do and say each and every day impacts others in some way.
People are observing you every day and YOU can have a HUGE influence on THEM.
What message are you sending out? Is it one you would be proud of or one you might be ashamed of?
I think we need to be more aware of what message we are sending others!
Have a fabulous week my friends!

Being Kind ~ Why is it so Hard?
You see it everywhere, on shirts, posters, billboard, etc. You know, the statement “Be Kind” or the one I as a beekeeper prefer “Bee Kind”. It seems that everywhere we go there it is, that statement, a REMINDER, to be kind. Why? Why do we need to be reminded to ACT with kindness? Why do we have to have something spark that character trait within us? Why can’t we just do it - just be kind?
Why Do You Lie To Me?
Do you ever get TIRED of people lying to you? Maybe you feel like everyone is lying to you ~ a conspiracy theory that everyone is out to get you. But what about when it's one or two particular people that lie to you - right to your face - over and over again? When it's an acquaintance it is so much easier to DISMISS it, just turn and walk away never giving it another thought. They’re just not worth your time. You can just consider that a flaw in their CHARACTER - a real lack of integrity. No moral compass. That doesn’t make it right, but it’s not anything to worry about.
Let Them Know What You Are!
The Bee….Bold, Honest, Courageous, Different, Confident Genuine, Strong….You t-shirt. It is a Bella + Canvas brand shirt, and if you have any Bella + Canvas shirts, you know they are incredibly SOFT and comfortable! You don’t have to be a bee person to LOVE this shirt - you just have to love YOURSELF and who you are!
Let’s Talk… What do you want to be?
“Bee .....Bold, Honest, Courageous, Different, Confident, Genuine, Strong, You”. It’s time to tell yourself it is perfectly okay to be BOLD. It’s time to be HONEST with yourself about who you are. It’s time to be COURAGEOUS and stand up for yourself, your beliefs, and your needs. It’s time to embrace that you are DIFFERENT and that is what makes each one of us so wonderfully perfect! It’s time to hold your head up, stand tall and be CONFIDENT in yourself and who you are. It’s time to show the world your GENUINE, authentic self. It’s time to stand STRONG and be known as a person who is determined and to be taken seriously.
