For this week:
I learned in the last few months that change in one's life happens swiftly, no questions asked. Yes, we had Wills drawn up in 2018, now aware change may arrive again, and updating. Wills are something we all need no matter how young, or how little ones owns, we all work to pass onto the next generation or within a family. 1️⃣ Have you written up a Will and filed it, protecting your spouse and children? Take control of your estate, assets, or worldly possessions — make sure you leave behind to those you wish it to go to!
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
Chasing perfection is not progress. When opportunity allows watching young women perform on sports fields around the world, it is progress in performance, learning strategy, working together that's important. This brought me to consider how often as women we enjoy perfection and lose sight of progress required. 2️⃣ Successful women understand that perfection isn’t the goal — progress is. What steps are you personally taking to progress in 2025? Describe the situation, reasoning, and how you intend to set plans into motion.
