One of the mindsets and strategies that has helped me survive and thrive on my journey are the five SW’s. If you know me, you probably have heard me speak about these before. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t, so what, someone’s waiting, so stick with it.
Throughout my life, I have certainly had all of these twists and more on my journey.
Sometimes things don’t work out or don’t go your way. When they don’t, you have to deal with it and learn how to move past those times. However, when they do, it’s a great feeling!

A good friend of mine recently wrote me a letter for my birthday. It was great to hear from him and to know that he’s doing well. He wrote this on the outside of the envelope.
These are the ideals and characteristics that I list on my logo. The ones by which I tried to live my life: Extra, Effort, Energy, and Enthusiasm, all leading to EXCELLENCE.
These ideals and mindsets have landed with my friend, and I know they mean as much to him as they do to me. This created a wonderful feeling inside. I’m so happy and proud of my message and mindset. Not everything we do will land and resonate with people, but when it does, it’s a great feeling.
Keep surviving and thriving on your journey, and know that you can have a positive impact on all those you meet. It’s our interactions, our behaviors, our smiles, and our connections with others that help uplift and infuse those we meet.
Thank you, my friend, for adding a little joy to the journey!
Keep surviving and thriving friends!












What an incredibly great motto to live by…”Extra, Effort, Energy, and Enthusiasm, all leading to EXCELLENCE.” I am writing this one to down to remember!
