My Face Is Sore

You know it's been a good session when you get off the call with more energy than when you went into it.

And when your face is sore.

Yesterday, I hosted my first NeverDoneBefore session with my co-lead of the month, Tanja Murphy-Ilibasic and we had such a great time!

The monthly theme at NDB is MOTIVATION, so Tanja and I planned around that theme combined with book reading. (It was a BYOB, after all.)

Each of the participants brought a couple quotes with them to the session, and after a "Quote Quiz" to determine if we could identify the books, we put on our creative hats and wrote poetry.

The task was to combine our quotes to create something new.

This is what we came up with:

💜You are born to share.
You are needed.
You are born to create.
You are valued.

Power is to be shared,
So that we truly feel that
We’re made to create.

💚 We can do hard things.
Sometimes just getting up and carrying on is brave and magnificent.
I think I’m just grateful to have a glass.
What is the bravest thing you’ve ever said?
Help.
Everyone is needed.

💙 The greatest threat
Success it not failure
Don't focus on the goal
Something will turn out well
Conviction
Regardless
Certainty that something makes sense
Boredom is the death of success
Hope
