Lori’s Story of a Snail

by Leave a Comment

Hey Snail, what’s your story?

What made you show up at my house?

Do you have a message for me?

 

What can I tell from your attractive spiral shell?

Could it be that I am going in circles?

Am I going too slowly?

 

A snail’s pace is often an accusation of laziness.

But, what if, it’s a sign to slow down and rest?

You are a gentle creature who comes in peace.

 

Wherever you go, you are at home.

How do I know? Because you carry your home with you.

You make your own trail and travel at your own pace.

 

You bring a message of patience and I’m right on time.

No need to get caught up in the ways of harried humans.

I’ll take a clue from you and will not participate in the pressure.

 

What else may I glean from your visit? Ah, it’s time to pivot.

Look at potential dangers and what’s not working.

With a shell of safety and protection, explore a new direction.

 

You appeared to me so that I could see your mobility.

I stopped to observe and consider other possibilities.

I ask myself what are my undiscovered talents and abilities?

 

Speed is not the key to success.

Your colorful, spiral shell reminds me to cherish each season.

Life is fragile. I am here for a reason.

 

Thank you, Snail, for crossing my path when I have much to handle.

You showed me your mobile home, and how to survive alone.

There is a time to be still and a time to move, help me find my groove.

JOURNEY TO HOPE AND TRANSFORMATION: My Oola Story

Travel Journey

Join me on my journey. If you read my book, you know I almost wasn’t alive to tell my story and continue my journey. My path led me to Oola, which is a state of awesomeness and having balance and growing in 7 key areas of life.

The next leg of my journey led me to develop The LORI Factor, which I will reveal at a later time. Today, I am sharing My Oola Story with you.

I got to write a blog on the Oola platform. It is now officially published.

Let me share it with you. Click here.

Enjoy this Lori  Story. Thanks for reading. Be filled with faith, hope, and love.

“Shoot for the moon, and if you miss you’ll still be among the stars.”

~Les Brown

Even through the good, the bad, and the ugly, look at life as one adventure after another. It’s all part of your story. It would be my pleasure to hear about your journey and how I can help along the way.

Much Love,

Lori

DID YOU GET BURNED?

by Leave a Comment

It hurts, doesn’t it? The pain is real. Whether it was a physical burn, even a sunburn, it has lasting effects and takes time to heal.

Even if you didn’t take proper precautions or it was an accident, you still got scorched. You treat the wounds quickly, but each day reveals a different layer. Did you feel hot, get blisters, and experience peeling? It went deep inside, didn’t it?

What if you got burned in business? That hurts too. Maybe you don’t know how a project went so wrong when you thought it was a masterpiece that you poured your heart and extra time into. All the pieces finally came together, and you did your best to make it a masterpiece.

Communication and results went well before. Like staying in the sun too long, you felt fried. With every skin cell peeling off, it left you raw and exhausted. You wonder what you could have done differently? You question whether all this time was worth it when the goal is not only happy clients but receiving revenue. Instead you lost time, money, and your passion. Keep in mind, not every client is a good fit.

More bills go unpaid and you feel sick. You thought it was a solution, especially when revenue is essential. What if this type of work is not your calling or passion? Maybe it’s just a distraction even though you’ve successfully completed similar projects with excellence many times.

Let the layers fall off. Let the dead skin cells flake off (gross, sorry). You have new skin in the game. Play a different game. There is a new thing waiting for you. Discover what that is and jump in. Stop doing work just to please others or because you think it was your only skill and is familiar. No matter what your bank account looks like now, it will grow. You will be okay even if you don’t know how right now.

Don’t let yourself get burned. It will lead to burnout. If you have been feeling weary, it may be that you are not stepping into your greatness. Search your heart. Find your true passion. Get busy living instead of dying. The right people are waiting for you.

WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?

Make your dream happen

What’s your dream? Is it to write a book, be an artist, a musician, dance, travel, be in a movie, speak on stage, or something else? Tell me. I want to know. Whatever it is, do you believe your dream can come true?

Belief and knowing it’s possible is an important first step. Can you see it like it’s already happened? I’m excited to hear about your vision. Paint me the picture so I can see it with you. Let me know more about you and what’s going on in your life.

Paint me a picture of your dream

When you were a child what did you enjoy doing? Remembering those things may give you clues about your dreams and passions if you don’t already know.

One of my favorite things is writing. I have discovered that many people dream of writing their own book. Most of them have not, because they don’t have time or think they have to be a good writer or some other reason. There is always a way to make it happen. Everyone has a story to tell.

Write your book

Helping you go from where you are to where you desire to be is my specialty. Maybe it is writing a book. People write books for many reasons. Maybe it’s to leave a legacy, share a message, or the accomplishment of attaining the title of “author”. Telling your story can also be your own healing journey or a way to record your personal history. No matter the reason, if it’s your dream, DO IT. Don’t let anyone stop you or cause you to doubt, especially if the person stopping you is YOU.

Time is of the essence. Make your dream happen now. Let me help guide your way. As my mother used to say: “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”

Speaking of HELP, may I ask for your help? Please let me know what topics are of interest to you that I can blog about. Also, your feedback about my book is appreciated. Right now it is on pre-sale with a description. Let me know if it intrigues you, why, and if you would read it. If it’s not for you, do you know who would benefit from reading my book?

Leave me a comment. It’s your time to make big things happen!
