Did you know that the word "alphabet" comes from the first two letters of the Greek language?⁠
⁠
And that way back in the day, speakers of Latin created the word "abecedarius" (aka the "ABCs")?⁠
⁠
I didn't and I've been a word nerd and language geek my whole life! :-)⁠
⁠
Which just proves you can always learn (and make!) something new.⁠
⁠
🔤 All this got me thinking: If you could create your own ABCs, what would the letters stand for? ⁠
⁠
I'd probably choose words that express what most matters to me: 🅰️ for art. B for becoming. And C for creativity! No surprises there, right? ;-)⁠
⁠
✏️ How about you? What would your personal alphabet say about you and what you value? Tell us in the comments!⁠

Go big or go home! I love seeing people’s #creativeexpressions on this #blockisland landmark. The messages and images change on the daily, sometimes even hourly. I’ve spotted folks happily making their mark in broad daylight and by flashlight.⁣
⁣
🪁 The thing is you don’t need spray paint or a boulder to speak your mind.⁣
⁣
🦋 Every day you are making a statement with your words and actions.⁣
⁣
🗣 Tell me: If you could express your truth big and bold, what would you say?⁣
⁣
👉 Need help figuring that out? I’ve got spots opening in September for new coaching clients. Reach out and let’s work together! ⁣

What did you come here to do? In other words, what’s your life purpose?⁣
⁣
Not sure? ⁣
⁣
Here are some ways to find out:⁣
⁣
🎯 Help other people. - Studies have shown that being of service can help you feel a sense of purpose. ⁣
⁣
🎯 Seek feedback. - Ask people what they think of when you enter their mind. What they notice about you can give you insights into your purpose.⁣
⁣
🎯 Take note of topics that interest you. Do you regularly post about certain things on social media? Is there an injustice that deeply bothers you? These could be clues to your life purpose.⁣
⁣
Identifying a clear sense of purpose — aka the mark you’re here to make — can help you lead a better, happier, healthier life.⁣
⁣
🪁 So, tell me: What’s the mark you’re making?⁣
