Today Is the Day to Believe What I Don’t Believe – A Guest Post by Kelly Smith

This post, Your Best Story Happened 10 Minutes Ago, seems to have started something. In that post, I explained how Liz Curtis Higgs said, “Your best story will happen in the next 10 minutes.” That quote inspired me. There was quite a buzz about it on Twitter and the quote maker herself, Liz Curtis Higgs, even wrote back to me about it. I was SO honored and I will admit, did a little fangirl dance. I love Liz Curtis Higgs so much. I also love my friend, Kelly Smith from Mrs. Disciple. Kelly graciously sent her “My Last 10 Minutes” story to share with you. I just love it when friends come over to share. Thank you, Kelly, you are welcome anytime.

I know you’re going to love this story just as much as I do.

Say What You Want To Say

Posted on

We all have a voice. How we choose to use it, or not use it is up to us. Some don’t have any trouble in this area but some of us do. insecurity, past mistakes, voices from our past that tell us we can’t… If this is you, you know exactly what I’m talking about. This SNL clip resonated with me because I am not a good communicator with my voice. I can communicate fairly well with my fingers (writing) but not with my voice. I either don’t say anything or I say something that just doesn’t come out like I wanted it to and it ends badly.

I can’t say I condone some of these particular choices to use their voices but it’s funny and I needed the laugh so I thought someone else might too. Note: I’m sorry but there is one bleeper in the clip. Apparently you can try to say what you want to say but some things still get bleeped out. haha!. What if we got bleeped out in real life. Man, some of us need that!

Wouldn’t we all love to have the courage to be so brave at times? Oh come on… you know you would.

Be brave today. Find your voice. Say what you want to say …. but be kind. Always be kind.
