In today's episode, I want to talk about taking up space. Everyone deserves to feel valued and that they matter.

A few weeks ago, I had a meeting at church discussing sharing messages of God. A lady described it as a football analogy. Everyone on the team has a part to play and makes a difference, even if they don't think they do. I looked around and saw a woman I had spoken to a few times and whose daughter I had taught in a class.

I had an incredible sense that I should tell her what she means to me. She has 2 incredible children, many health issues, and I wanted to tell her that her strength in the face of the burdens placed upon her was inspiring. When I left the church, I bumped into her and told her what I had been thinking. She was thankful and told me that it meant a lot because she often felt as though she is just taking up space.

It takes each of us to make a difference in the world, even if we can't outwardly see what that difference is. No one should feel like they are just here to take up space. People just want to be acknowledged and seen. Just saying hello can make a huge difference to someone's day.

Find time each day to focus outwardly on. Make a difference in their life and share light and good deeds.
