In the Beginning 3 of...
We wrapped up the last installment talking about NoBS with Jen & Jess and the Lean & Love 5S Love Letters. Both of which continue to create ROI, this ROI isnt the one youre thinking about. Im talking abut Ripples Of Impact the kind ROI that radiates and motivates.
Speaking of motivation I wanna tell you about the motivation behind the OG Spotlight. I was in South Carolina for Skilled Trades Alliance board meeting and took advantage of an opportunity to be interviewed by the amazing ladies at Women Talk Construction 
Miss Christi Powell and Angela Gardner and I connected and had a photo shoot, awesome interview and deep conversation around serving others in meaningful ways while also earning a living. I have a front row seat to all the impactful ways these ladies serve their community and the Construction Industry at large. However, very few people are aware of their magnitude in serving.
Of course I questioned why they didnt post more about all the magical things they are doing to leave this world better than they found it. And their response was one I could totally relate to. They were uncomfortable with posting about themselves. I know this feeling; it feels braggadocios, obnoxious even. (Yes, even I am uncomfortable about putting out content)
I began thinking about all the people I know who are putting in some real Sweat Equity to change things for the better, and this seems to be a common trait amongst those with a passion to serve others. Then I said "wait a minute" I learn about all the amazing works people are doing by asking them. My curiosity leads me to dig for intimate details about the things they do and they happily share in a way that represents them well.
So I decided to launch a bi-weekly Livestream for the purpose of highlighting OGs that are putting in work to leave this rock better than they found it. OGs🤔 you say?
Well yes, because when I was growing up the OGs set the tone in the neighborhood. Their consistent and fierce behavior made the expectations very clear and the rest of us either complied or stayed out of their way. Now their motives were not at all altruistic, still they impacted everyone around them.
So the OG Spotlight was born because the guests are setting the bar and demonstrating behaviors that will inspire the rest of us to deepen our commitment in sharing our gifts and talents. Luckily Angela and Christi allowed me to interview them on the very first OG Spotlight
So why would the Lean & Love Reflection Journal be mentioned in the same Blog as the OG Spotlight?
Well because Miss Christi Powell planted the seed! During the 5S in Relationships Livestreams Christ posted a comment asking if there was a list of reflection questions that we could share. At the time Christi posed the question, no such list existed. So I whipped up a spreadsheet with questions that were relevant to each of the 5S Love Letters. Jennifer and I tinkered around with the questions and included them at the end of each chapter in the book and theyre even included in the Lean & Love Audio Book.
Each set of questions are specifically designed to help you examine your thinking and make adjustments in how you show up in your relationships. I have a daily journaling practice which has been a game changer when it comes to my depth in clarity. Then I said why dont I whip up a journal with a focus on improving relationships. Just like the last time I began working on it then said I should talk to Jennifer about this. She was on board and offered to do the cover art, which makes her an illustrator twice over as she did the doodles in the book as well. I dont think shell ever stop holding that over my head😜
The monthly journal has instructions and everything! Today there are a couple of ways to get your hands on the journal:

Geez that was alot, I may have to break these up and only cover one topic at a time. See you next week
