I was watching a news article the other day about an amazing woman who was doing great work helping people in her community who had a variety of different life challenges. She herself had overcome some life difficulties and now spent her time creating a safe and loving community of acceptance for others. When the reporter said to her “Do you realize they look at you like you are a rock star?” this kind, caring, generous woman looked dumbfounded. What was so obvious to everyone else was a complete surprise to her.

It made me think about the eyes I feel on me and sadly most often the ones I notice are the disapproving ones. The ones that indicate I have not done enough, that I am not good enough.

Who looks at you like you are a rock star? Go to them and bask in that feeling – and remember to pass it on!
