I doubt you recognize her right away, but I&#8217;m sure you are intimately familiar with the empire she has inspired.<\/p>\n<p>Her name is Nike, the Greek goddess of strength, speed and victory. If you look closely you&#8217;ll see the famous swoosh symbol in the upper folds of her skirt.<\/p>\n<p>I met her on my recent trip to Greece, or at least what&#8217;s left of her that is. Not having studied a lot about mythology, her existence was a total surprise to me. Isn&#8217;t it wonderful that no matter how old we get there&#8217;s always time to learn something new?<\/p>\n<p>Since I was a little girl, I&#8217;ve been enamored with the thrill of discovering the unknown. But the older I get the more I&#8217;m convinced that curiosity is the key to keeping us young at heart. Exploring activates our minds, puts our bodies in motion, and connects our souls one to another.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also what keeps our imaginations fired up with new ideas and fresh perspective. For example, meeting Nike was a great reminder to me that I don&#8217;t always have to start from scratch. Sometimes taking what&#8217;s old and adding a fresh spin is infinitely more effective than starting with a blank sheet of paper and trying to scratch out genius.<\/p>\n<p>She also reminded me that I want to create a legacy that lasts. Generations from now I want people to continue to be inspired by my work. As you can imagine, I came back even more fired up to finish my book and build a successful business.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s inspiring you these days? Are you challenging yourself to learn something new? Exploring outside your comfort zone?<\/p>\n<p>It only takes a spark to ignite the fires of destiny. Keep your imagination running wild by allowing yourself the pleasure of exploring the unknown. Maybe it&#8217;s booking a trip from your &#8220;bucket list&#8221;, learning a new language, or taking that cooking class you&#8217;ve been talking about. Whatever it is, get to it!<\/p>\n<p>Your next big idea is just around the corner waiting to be discovered. Love you enough to go get it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Loving on Me as I Love You.\u00a0\u2764<\/p>\n<p>PS &#8211; Drop us a line telling us what&#8217;s new with you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Know who this is?
