“There is a place in each of us that comes to surface, now and then. It is filled with doubt and sometimes fear. Today, I will practice the “Never Allow Yourself The Luxury Of A Negative Thought” principle.

I will replace it with a loving thought.” – Pamela Leavey

With each reply, I will feel the contagion of being Awesome grow with in, and I will share with others the principle of “I Am Awesome“. Awesome is a state of mind, it is a choice, like happiness. Why would I choose anything but that which makes me feel good. If I choose to be Awesome, then so it is.” – Pamela J. Leavey

“Today, I strive to make a difference in one way, touch one life. Today, I strive to Be All That I Can Be. Do my best.

I am grateful for that opportunity.” – Pamela J. Leavey
