Lollipop Moments
I have to confess that I sometimes get extremely frustrated. I put a lot of pressure on myself to figure out my life’s purpose. It can appear so clear to some people: as if they knew from day one how they were going to save the world.
I wonder why it doesn’t seem obvious to me. I see others grand scale accomplishments and want to make a difference like them. Since I don’t have a book, haven’t traveled across the world speaking, or have my own line of organic food, I can’t be making that big of a difference, right?
I can be really hard on myself. There are times that I throw up my hands and think “what the heck am I doing with this website!? What’s the point?!”
And then, like a whisper from my angels, I’ll stumble across an article or video that will help it all make sense. Ah Ha! You are so right, universe! Now I understand…
This video gave me one of those moments. Sometimes it is the quietest interactions that have the loudest impact. The most unassuming people can make the biggest difference.
Don’t underestimate what you are contributing to the world. You are influencing lives every choice, word, and smile you make.
Have a great week!
Great post! I think we all feel that “what the heck am I put on this earth for” every now and then. Aside from parents’ knowing they were born to be parents, I mean.
We all have a purpose – a special gift we contribute to the world. Your site is such a contribution to us all! In your unique way, you make us smile, think, and personally, for me, really strive for balance.
Our worlds are so different, and yet, we all want the same things in life, don’t we?
I don’t get sound on my conputer here at work, so I will watch this at home tonight. I already KNOW it’s going to move me – just like you do, me!

Just saw this. Wow. Thank you for sharing such an eye-opening video. xo
I knew you would like it! Such a great message. I completely resonated with putting “leaders” on such a high pedestal that we don’t believe we can make a difference like them. That really hit home with me. You don’t have to be be huge to be effective!
It is so funny because to me your purpose seems clear- your purpose is to be YOU! :-) something is wrong with me because my eyes played a trick on me and I swear when I read that first line of the 4th paragraph it said “And then like a whisper from my vagina….”
Thank you for making my day. You know it is going to be a good one when the word vagina is in a comment.
You are so right, that’s all I can be, right?
I was just checking in over here to see how things are going and found this post. What an inspiring video!
You and your blog inspired me to buy a juicer, does that count as a lollipop moment? Hope you are well! :)
You are so sweet :) I will totally count that as a lollipop moment!
Thanks for coming over and saying hi! You are such a talented women and you have the most beautiful blog. If anyone likes the looks of my website, check out Rachael because she was my designer! xo Lina
This blog has given me a lot of lollipops! So nice to realize I was not the only weird thinker in town…
Thank you, Jeanne :) Makes me feel like I’m spreading a little love out there! xo Lina
