It’s been a tough week. I had goals in place for June 1st personally and professionally that I have failed at miserably—And with the heat returning I’m reminded how out of shape and unhealthy I am. Been beating up on myself pretty hard, to the point where I’d rather not even been seen in public (a few spot on photos of myself surfaced from events last week, ugh.)

Enter the angels among us….a gentleman just came into the office with a question about the festival in town this weekend. We started chatting and before he left, in a kind, respectful way told me that my Husband was a lucky guy, that I was a beautiful woman and he can tell it’s not just on the outside, but the inside as well. I’m not even looking my best—in fact I had a headache most of last night and this morning and crawled my way into work without a second thought.

I almost broke down in tears.

You never know the power of a simple compliment…pay it forward this weekend. Make a someone feel special.
