Every Thursday, I share one action, habit, or project you may want to undertake in order to improve your health, happiness, and sense of well-being.
If you are finding value in our PROJECT OF THE WEEK Newsletter, we would greatly appreciate it if you would spread the word. Your friends and family can click HERE to sign-up.
PROJECT OF THE WEEK
As a kid, I loved gymnastics. I loved doing it. I loved watching it. I loved cheering for my favorite gymnasts. Special shout out to two of my childhood heroes: Dominique Moceanu and Vanessa Atler!
Ironically, I never wanted to be a cheerleader. I didn't like the idea of cheering on the boys’ team. After all, no boys were cheering on our girls’ field hockey team.
As an adult, I feel differently.
I love being a cheerleader.
Being a cheerleader provides the feeling of joy when others succeed.
Being a cheerleader gives you a front-row seat for the journey, through the highs and the lows, and the opportunity to learn many valuable lessons along the way.
Getting Started
There isn’t a big secret in how to be a cheerleader for your friends, family, and colleagues. Simply show up. Send a text or a call on a day you know there’s something important happening. Send cards just to let them know you’re thinking of them. I have a friend who will send $10 through the Starbucks app on mornings she knows her friends have big presentations, job interviews, or just need that extra love.
I believe that the more we work together and support others, the more likely we are to succeed.
Enjoy the journey and surround yourself with those you believe in!

Meet Sarah
Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
