Hello There *** waving at ya***, It’s been a while ____(since I’ve said hello, since we connected in this way, since I’ve actually put my face on this grid).

Today I _____(describe in detail an action that you took to boot your confidence be as descriptive as possible)

It’s amazing how one small change in the day can totally lift the mood and positively reinforce who you are and what you’re about.

I hope this makes you smile today.
