#MusicMonday - Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"

#MusicMonday is dedicated to Lupe Fiasco and his song called, "The Show Goes On". 

This song has a great message of inspiration and motivation for working hard no matter what. May it inspire you!

"Alright, already the show goes on

All night, till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder,

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

Alright, already the show goes on

All night, till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder,

When they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up

The show goes on!

So no matter what you been through

No matter what you into

No matter what you see when you look outside your window

Brown grass or green grass

Picket fence or barbed wire

Never ever put them down

You just lift your arms higher

Raise 'em 'til your arms tired

Let em' know you're there

That you struggling and survivin'

That you gonna persevere

Yeah, ain't no body leavin',

No body goin' home

Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!"

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #9: Shannon Smoot

Thankful Thursday this week is dedicated to Shannon Smoot, my ride or die best friend. We met back when we were super young at the beginning of our AYSO soccer days when her Dad was our coach. We've gone to elementary, middle and high school together experiencing the many ups and downs of life together. Shannon has always been by my side and we have often joked about "being in same boat" because we are so much alike and tend to face the same challenges and reality checks in life at the same time. She is a true inspiration to me and a friend who I genuinely trust and respect. Shannon is someone who I look up to as a role model and someone who has taught me so much about myself and about life through our endless conversations that contemplate the many complexities of life. She always strives to do more and be more so that she can walk her talk and truly be the change she wants to see in the world. I am so grateful to call her my friend and to have someone that I know I can always count on. 

Shannon -- Thank you for always being there for me, for truly listening, for giving honest feedback and for always understanding!
