For Sunday, June 24: And all before breakfast...

Sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.  The White Queen from Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll      

I haven't read this book (GASP!  I know right?!?) so I don't know the actual context in which this particular quote is actually spoken so I'm going to take it as I see it!  :) My blog, my choice.  Ha. 

Sometimes what we need to do is begin to believe what seems impossible.  Once belief gets behind what is called "impossible" then suddenly it begins to look...possible!  Imagine that.  :) 

I know for myself a lot of times what I consider to be impossible really isn't, I'm just afraid.  I like to use my trips to Africa as an example.  I thought it was impossible to actually lead a team through Kenya.  The reality is it wasn't impossible I was just scared.  And my fear bled into how I led the team from time to time but when all was said and done I emerged knowing that it wasn't impossible and open to the possibility of doing it again having learned some lessons and experienced some things.  Belief was built in me and "suddenly" it was possible. 

What would happen if we began to believe that the impossible was actually possible?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
