Hey Straight Ladies - what are you waiting for? Yes, it is Leap Year. And No, 29 February is NOT the only day you're allowed to propose to the man in your life. Read the history of the mistaken belief that only a man has ever been able to do the proposing in my blog post "Waiting for a Proposal" https://lnkd.in/g9HMXWSC Despite the ingrained beliefe that only the man in a hetero relationship can/should propose, that's not what's happening behind the scenes. More and more women are sayi9ng, Hey, I can be anybody and anything I wish, so why can't I do the asking? And they are. And, guess what, many men are downright relieved because social media has ramped up expectations for how a proposal should be orchestrated (cue lights, music, action, exotic locations, the whole extravaganza) and that stresses them out. In case their proposal is an Instagram Fail. Truth. The question is the important thing. As is the naswer. Not who did the asking or how much of a huge theatrical production it is. So, yes, it's leap year. But it's not the only time to propose. When your heart tells you this is the man I want to build a life for it, don't hang aaround waiting. Ask. #sheproposes #marriageproposal.#celebrantblogger #BrisbaneMarriageCelebrant #Marriagecelebrantbrisbane #inclusivecelebrant #jennifercraminclusivecelebrant #humanistcelebrant

From Dishwasher to Oscar Winner: How Viola Davis Crushed Self-Doubt and Became an Inspiration!!🥂 We all love a good rags-to-riches story, but sometimes those stories can feel untouchable. Today, I want to share the journey of Viola Davis, a powerhouse actress whose success was not handed to her on a silver platter. Viola's path to Hollywood A-lister was paved with struggle. Born into poverty and homelessness, she faced constant challenges, yet never let her circumstances define her. Working as a dishwasher to put herself through Julliard, Viola faced countless rejections before landing her breakout role. But here's the thing: Viola didn't let the "no's" define her. Her unwavering belief in her talent and relentless work ethic fueled her determination. Viola's story is a powerful reminder that "success rarely happens overnight." It's a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. We all face challenges, moments of self-doubt, and roadblocks that seem insurmountable. But Viola's journey shows us that with perseverance and a burning desire, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. Feeling lost or discouraged? Let Viola's story be your inspiration. Remember, the greatest achievements often lie just beyond the biggest struggles. So, keep pushing, keep believing, and never give up on your dreams. #inspiration #nevergiveup #overcomingobstacles #chasingdreams P.S. Who is your role model who inspires you to keep going?

Hope your first four months were productive … let’s use these great thoughts to make the next four months even better. “You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.” - Oprah Winfrey “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” “At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you're living your life doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're comfortable with it.” - Dr. Phil McGraw “Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put some sunglasses on.” - Lady Gaga “You can be everything … you can be the infinite amount of things that people are.” Let’s start May strong. #danaweilerrealestate #thedanaweilerteam #TheAgencyNorcal #AlamoAgency #eastbayhomes #diablovalleyhomes #luxuryhomesforsale #NorCalRealEstate #Realtor #ContraCostaRealEstate #MikeFerryOraganization

White folks, let's talk: In your workplace/community there are probably Black folks. Coworkers, clients, bosses, janitors, your bank teller, whoever they are — when you see them today, PAUSE. Immediately make time and pause, like you would on the shoulder for a hearse and a long line of mourning families behind it. You don't have to say anything. Definitely don't bring up the shooting. It's not like it was a once in a lifetime event. But do pause. How we got here comes from centuries of our parents, and their parents, teaching us not to pause for Black folks. To turn away and focus on our jobs. To "ignore it." To say, "There's nothing I can do about it," allowing our brains to dismiss the cruelty and go back to buying our groceries, or asking for that end-of-month report. To cut ourselves off from feeling empathy for Black people, lest we ourselves feel as constantly devastated, overwhelmed, and exhausted as they do. Our White parents taught us not to feel. Their parents taught them not to feel. Their parents taught them not to feel. Their parents taught them not to feel. Unfeeling people who are "just doing my job" are literally killing your coworkers' families and friends, regularly. So don't "just do your job" today. Pause today. Feel. Don't be afraid to get a therapist and talk about how it feels to feel feelings you've been suppressing for 400 years. This is how you can keep from becoming someone who does harm in your workplace as casually as you do your job. There is no shortcut to pausing.
