Today

One of my sorority sisters posted a message about change. In her case she has decided to lose weight and she posted a picture of herself from present day compared to one from three months ago. In her message she said, change does not start on the first of the month, or on Monday, it starts right now. I found this message very motivational. Traditionally I have been one of those people who start the first or Monday. It gives me an excuse not to change right away. The problem with this system is that when the first comes or when Monday arrives I lack the motivation. Starting today pushes one to take action right away.

I am starting today along with my other beautiful sister Crestcencia with a writing challenge. We are embarking on a journey of putting words on a page with no limitations. We can write a page or a sentence, whatever it is meant to be today and all of our days in this journey.

Karen Lamb said, a year from now you will wish you had started today. I think of the many times I look back on the things I said I would do and thought those very words. If I had…. I should have…. I could have…. Yet, I did nothing. Well, not today! Today I am doing it. I put my words on this page. I took that first step and I am happy to see where it leads.
