The other day, my husband, son, and I took a long walk on a beautiful trail. We witnessed an extremely large turtle about the size of my son's body trying to find a way through the fence that blocked the calm lake on the other side.
My first instinct, with hesitation, was to help him to quickly get through the fence, but then I snapped back into a relaxed state of mind realizing that this was his journey and he didn't need me to put him over the fence, in fact, me trying to rush him over could potentially create more chaos and disruption than necessary.
I reflected on how my mind felt it was crucial that I hurried and got him over the fence and why I may have felt the need to rush him in the first place. Questions consumed my mind to face my lingering consciousness. Why did I believe that he needed to hurry up? Why did I feel the need to get him over there as soon as possible? Why couldn't I accept the thought that he could just take his time?
Then, even more concerns consumed my mind, and the wonder became much more vast and deeply relatable. Why must I obtain my most prominent and most significant goals today and at this moment when I know I'm trying to build something larger than myself? In the same breath assuring myself that Rome wasn't built in a day, and I shalln't rush my foundation either.

Turtles Speak !
Did you know that turtles actually speak? The most familiar sound they make is hissing. They can hiss, croak, grunt, and make a few other sounds as well. Ya learn something new every day!
This is just a lovely reminder to speak up when necessary. Do not let people speak to you in any way that makes you feel belittled. Stand tall and talk your. . . stuff. You have the power of your word. Voice is a powerful thing, so use it as a superpower.
Set boundaries with people that need clear boundaries delegated. Make sure people understand what you will not tolerate or accept from them and even set boundaries with yourself. Be sure to face the insecure voice in your head by identifying the root of that voice and why it appears. Speak to yourself kindly and give yourself love. Furthermore, attract great love and compassion to yourself by practicing positive self-talk and empowerment.
Love yourself because you are worthy of every bit of love the world has to offer and then some.
