My hopes for 2023 are that we accentuate the positive in our lives - each and every day!
Here are some thoughts of what we can do daily to make this world a better place. These can be started anytime (not just on January 1st).
- Start a"something good" jar / journal - (heard this on a couple of talk shows) at the end of each day write down a few good things that happened that day, toss them into the jar. At the end of the month/year take them out and read all the good things that happened in your life.
- Keep a "brings me joy" photo album (got this idea from my oldest niece, Heather.) Each day choose a picture that brings you joy. Share the photo (and why it brings you joy) with others. My niece shares hers on Facebook (text's my brother).
- "Tell me something good!" (from radio program Bobby Bones) Each day they talk about something good that a listener sent in or that happened to them.
- Start a"good deed" marble jar - when you do something good for someone, drop a marble into the jar. At the end of the month/year, see the good you have passed on.
I hope to see many of many of you May 5-7 at the ND State CDA Convention in Belfield. State conventions are a great time to get to know our CDA sisters and share in spirituality, like beliefs, and CDA! I recommend Local Courts and members to get as involved:
* Enter the Education Contest - I challenge all members to submit an entry in the adult division. I plan on submitting at least one.
* Fill out and submit Circle of Love forms - each Local Court does so much - time to let the rest of us know what your court has been up to.
* Plan on attending (if it works with your schedule) - it would be great to have delegates and attendees from all Local Courts.
In Unity and Charity,
