It’s confession time. I struggle with staying in a positive and possible mindset when it comes to exercise. I know this is what is preventing me from having fun with it or making it stick as a permanent habit. That’s my ultimate goal...making exercise just something I do. Who’s with me? I finally found the mindset reset secret, DreamChasers, and I want to share it with you...and how it works! (You got it, there’s science behind it!). Check out today’s blog to get in the know!

I am sure you know all about wasting time, but have you ever heard of the idea of time expansion? No, I am not talking about something from Back to the Future or astrophysics. I am talking about a huge time waster that blocks your goals! Find out all the deets in today’s blog, and join SoulShine Life Connections in doubling down for the rest of 2020!

We are on the crest of life changing right in front of our very eyes. We need to learn to live in this place and what better way to imagine what it’s going to be like than turning to the pinnacle of imagination and that is our friends at Disney. Let’s take a look at how we can begin to cope with all the change in the world today through wise and wonderful songs of Disney.

School is out for the summer! All the teachers and parents-turned-homeschool-teachers rejoice...for a hot second until it sets in. The pandemic has canceled many of the things we spend our summers doing...summer school, sports, camps, swimming pools. Rejoice has been replaced with panic as we ask, “What will we do with these kids all summer?!?”. Don’t worry, DreamChasers, SoulShine has got an idea...it’s as simple as putting in a little effort to create memories worth remembering using the summer bucket list! Check out today’s blogcast for more!

Hey what are you waiting for? You are living through a pandemic. A real honest to God moment in history and have lived to tell! So that begs the question, why are you sitting on the sidelines of life? I mean, you aren’t planning on going back to the way things used to be - are you?

Are you ready to get back at it? Maybe ease into moving forward with a few goals that will help you heal your mind, body and soul? When you make progress in any area of your life, you begin to gain some control and that can help you feel empowered. We all need a bit of that right now!

This convocation speech is to address the graduating class of high school seniors who have been dealt a tough hand recently. I believe their experience will lead them to be a defining generation for leading this country and the world. Their unique set of skills in combination with opening the door to their dreams will allow this world to bloom in ways it never has before.

There are some people you meet and you just know they are doing exactly what they were put on this earth to do. Today’s life story is highlighting one of those people. Shalyn Gagnon is a 5th grade teacher at Altoona Intermediate School in Altoona, Wisconsin. She breathes positivity and possibility everywhere she goes. Grab a notebook and an open mind as we all have the honor of being taught by the best!

We are all anxious and waiting. Remembering what it used to be like. Even the monotonous and dull of a life gone by seems appealing right now. Remember being in a hurry but got caught  sitting in traffic...such sweet memories! Remember running the kids around to practice? That was such a hassle...and now we miss that! One thing I'm sure of is when we can, I’ll see you then. When the good times come again.

This blog was going to be about the life skills high school seniors need to survive in college, but then when I thought about what I really want for my daughter to leave home with, it is far beyond skills to survive. Not that cooking and budgeting are not important, but what I want is something much deeper. I want her to live her life to the fullest with meaning and joy.
