Spreading love, joy, peace, faith & unity

Returning to My Blog

I have had a break from my blog for awhile. Why? Spending time with visiting friends and family this summer and early autumn has taken precedence. Also, for the last 300+ consecutive days I have been doing a daily French lesson on Duolingo. Can I speak French now? No… But I can read and understand some. Time to move on. So, I’m exchanging that focus for now. I’m returning to my daily blog posts. I hope you’ll join me.

Today, I reread a response from a friend who wrote to me back in 2021 with this comment:

“You lit a candle in my mind and heart this morning when I read your blog post … Thank you for spreading love, joy, peace, faith & unity through your blog…”

I kept a copy of that blog response in my journal titled, “I Can and I Will, Watch Me!” The entry that day in 2021 was, “I CAN Be an Inspiration.” That is my mission… and I have been neglecting it here on WordPress. But, I’m back!

My journal has 124 entries, each starting with “I Can…” As the “Inspirational Leader” I read one a month last year to my friends at Madison Valley Women’s Club. They responded very favorably to the inspirations. For the next few months, let me share one a day with you, okay? Hopefully you will follow along, and “I Will” be an inspiration to you, too. “Watch Me!”

I CAN Inspire!

I’m not in retirement
I’m in re-inspirement
Each day a new opportunity
To inspire
and
To be an inspiration
grabs me!

What is the secret
to being an inspiration?

Love people
and
Try to understand them.

Reach out in love
today.

Sincerely tell
at least three people
today,
“I Love You.”

Laina, Nicky & DeDe, I love you!

There! I did it! Your turn.

Love,
JanBeek

  1. Good for you, Jan.
    I, too, am still on a blog break. But I saw your notification.
    It’s always good to take a break now and again.
    And most definitely, family and friends come first.

    It’s wonderful you’ve also been learning French.
    It’s not the easiest to grasp, I never could, lol 😆.

    Sending lots of love and hugs your way 🤗 ❤️ xx

  2. You have your priorities right. I’m much better at reading and writing French than speaking

  3. Jan, I am so happy that you and Bob have enjoyed more family. The photo from the lake is such a delight to embrace. A beautiful and amazing Big Sky shines overhead. As for my French, I can remember a few words . . . that’s about it.
