because you never know who’s watching

I just went for an early morning run through the blue-skied city:

Charlotte City Skyline

About halfway through beating feet, a guy walking toward me pulled a cigarette out to light up. When our eyes met, he looked at the cigarette and back at me a couple times. Right as I passed him, he put it back in the box.

Yahoo!

Maybe it was a coincidence, and maybe he lit that stick up two seconds later. Either way, I’m hoping our unexpected quick interaction made him stop and think for a minute about smoking.

Happy Monday!

p(L)aying forward feels so good

It’s Thursday July 13th now, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around what an incredibly powerful BLR Play It Forward weekend we had just a few days ago. It is always the most bittersweet day of my year.

I will have a full post coming soon with some of my favorite images, but in the meantime here are a couple that show what community and coming together to do something good looks like:

All hands in. BLR Play It Forward 2017

Being a part of something bigger than myself that means something to so many people is by a landslide the best work I have ever done. Love, joy, and time together to celebrate memories is the most I could ever ask for in this life, and I’ve been lucky enough to experience that for 6 years in a row now. This is my team. The rest of the people who support us were all there too, just a few feet away. I’m always so honored to be in such wonderful company.

Thank you.

blr radio time…tune in tomorrow!

Once again my hometown radio station WBTN has offered up time so I can share about BLR Play It Forward! I will be on air tomorrow morning (Friday 7/7) around 7:45AM for about 30 minutes.

WBTN Radio and BLR

Please tune in on the radio at 1370AM, or stream live online here.

Each year I’m humbled at the amount of individuals and organizations who say “yes!” to me when I call, email, or walk in the door asking them in some way/shape/form to participate or donate, in support of this Play It Forward movement we have created. I messaged a friend today after running around town hustling to tie up last minute loose ends for our weekend and told her I have to figure out how to do more work like this! It makes me so happy that so many people always want to get on board. It is truly awesome. 

Keep tuning in, joining in, and thank you all, from the bottom of many hearts.
