Gratitude, Personal Growth, Writing Journey

The Priceless Value of Encouragement

Sometimes it only takes one person to look you in the eye and say, “You can do this,” for a whispered calling to become a living, breathing reality. There are many people in my life who offered encouragement when I first felt called to write, but this lady saw me at my absolute worst!

A heartfelt "thank you", Leslie (Thelma), for continuing with a gentle push every time I tried to back away from the next scary step, and for asking the question... "But did you die?" -- No! I did not die, and until I do, I'll keep taking that next right (even if scary) step.

I hope this serves as encouragement to others too. Is there something stirring within you that could bring hope and joy to your heart and to the world? If so, choose the right friend to tell. Find your courage, and do it!

The Ripple Effect of Gratitude: If someone has encouraged you, consider taking a moment to thank them. Your gratitude might also be the encouragement they need to keep cheering others on. 📣 ♥️
