Sometimes, life kicks us in the teeth and we're left simply licking our wounds.
And ideally, whenever that happens, we rise to the challenge and throw ourselves back into the foray with style, grace and a never say die attitude!
At times like this, it helps to honor whatever pain you went thru….and give yourself a visual reminder of how truly terrific you are.
I just did that meself!

What you're seeing here is the front of me computer. I have gifts my kids have given me, the official Camp Ling Hacky Sack, the tigers-eye heart my husband and I keep with us….and Hero.
Who is Hero, I hear you ask?
Well, Hero is the manifestation of my Inner Hero, ie, the very essence of who I am and how I treat my friends, family and loved ones.
I put him there yesterday to always remind me of what's truly important in this life – be true to myself and to hell with people who don't appreciate what I do.
My family rocks…and honestly, that's truly the most important thing in this world.
Thus today, promise yourself that you'll put a keepsake or reminder in front of your computer or in your office space…so you'll never ever *ever* forget how truly special a person you are.
It's a grand thing to do for yourself.
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
