 – would you?

Are you a game changer?

What are you willing to do to make a change in your world?

Game changers usually aren’t thinking about changing the world when they do their one action or actions that they become known for. They simply want to make the world a better place for that day or they are simply trying to improve their world, or they are curious enough to try something no one else before them were willing to try.

March 6, 2014 Comfrey Jacobs became a one man blockade to prevent needless and senseless killing of wild bison in Yellowstone National Park. He took a buffalo stance because his soul would not allow the killing to continue without trying to stop it.

Have you seen the Mazda commercial with Dick Fosbury performing his back-first high jump for the first time? He was tired of hitting the bar, and not completing his high jump, so he took a big risk on one of sport’s biggest stages the 1968 Olympics. Now that is how the sport is jumped.

The late Steven Jobs took the risk of presenting to the public a smart phone that worked completely by our touch. Who knew: the iPhone would start a cell phone revolution? The selfie picture taking has made a lot of people narcissistic but that’s for another post…

One day on a bus Miss Rosa Parks was just too damned tired to give her seat up so she sat down and by doing that she stood up for and helped move the Civil Rights Movement forward.

“At this very moment, there are people only you can reach… and differences only you can make.”    Mike Dooley

So what am I willing to stand up for – what am I willing to be a game changer for? I am standing up for baby boomer women caregivers who think they don’t have the right, the time, or energy for self-care.

1. When I read the above quote by Mike Dooley  it resonated with my soul’s agenda and assignment so here I go stepping out and up.
2. What if I can help a few women feel less guilty about taking care of themselves? What if I can convince a lot of women that self-care is not an option?
3. What if I am a game changer and start a feminine evolution that embraces “women it is okay to do you”?
4. What if I can help caregivers stress-less and live more while caring for others?

Stay tuned and I’ll keep you updated on my Caregivers’ Self-care journey.

                              Your turn and you knew this was coming:

• What are you willing to stand up for?
• Are you willing to be a game changer?
• What if by sharing your journey it lightens someone else’s’ load?
