My highlight for #SuperstarSaturday is Valerie Sagun aka Big Gal Yoga . This chick is AMAZING! And so very inspiring. When I first saw her I think my jaw dropped open and my eyes popped out of my head. Incredible. She was doing something that I kept telling myself it was impossible considering my size, lack of coordination, and my general love for my recliner. Then I saw Valerie and thought, "Well, there goes all and any excuses I could come up with." I'm really grateful that Valerie is sharing herself with us, it's encouraging and inspiring. She's 100% a superstar!

Brené Brown is my superstar this saturday. I had heard her name here and there but introduced myself to her when I read her book, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are . I was blown away. The second I finished the last word I started the book over. Blown. Away. I then started reading anything I could get my hands, eyes, and heart on by Brené.  If you haven't yet taken in any of Brown's wisdom I encourage you to do so. I don't think you will regret it. At all. In fact, you can hear her talk about one of her top topics, vulnerability. Click here to hear her very popular TED talk.

My superstar choice for this saturday is Drew Barrymore. Most of us were introduced to her in E.T. But actually Drew made her first screen appearance at 11 months old in a puppy food commercial. Unlike a lot of actors Drew's age, she was born into a family of famous actors. It was in the Barrymore blood and Drew inherited it as well.                                                                                                       Drew's life has been widely publicized given her family history and her growing up years on the movie screen. And because of that we (the public) knows far more about her than we would any other person who has had the life experiences she has. But I don't consider Drew Barrymore a superstar becau...

My superstar today is Pope Francis . And no, I'm not joking! I love Pope Francis. He is, quite simply, 'da bomb diggity. I even have a bobblehead of him - not in jest but in admiration (he keeps company with my bobblehead Jesus, bobblehead St. Francis, bobblehead Mother Teresa, and Gandhi figurine). From his humility about living quarters to his desire to be with the people to his gentle touch on the infirmed this dude is, as Time Magazine said in 2013, the people's pope. And, as it turns out, not just Catholic people but people of all faiths - and no faith even.  He even gave a surprise TED talk in 2017. Watch it here.

My highlight for #SuperstarSaturday is Kid President. I am OBSESSED with Kid President. And I think *you* should be too. Kid President is a team compromised of Robbie Novak and his brother-in-law, Brad Montague. Here's the story of KP told by Brad.  Watch Kid President's very first video ever, I hope you are inspired by this superstar family team on a mission to bring love, dance, high fives - and a corn dog or two - into the world!
