When it's a go...


Red light: gather your thoughts, prepare.

Yellow light: a pause to breathe.

Green light: go forth, obstacle free.

Set your compass, plan your way,

map in hand, dreams unfolding; everyday.

When you know it's a go,

put your best foot forward, ready.

Let yourself be, challenged, marvelously, uniquely.

Let yourself be, always ready, willing.

Do not wait. Ready? Set. Go!

    Love this! the words even LOOK a little like a traffic light! :) These words of advice and encouragement are perfect for anyone as they begin something new....even if it's only a new day!

  3. As a mom who is constantly reminded by her boys what colour the light is when she's driving "Mom it's red!" this struck a chord with me. I feel sometimes all I do is go, stop, start, stop, go, when all I want to do is GO!

  7. Sometimes letting go is the only way to fully prepare yourself to go - explore, experience, embrace what life offers.

  8. The traffic light imagery reminds me of a game I played as a kid and now plaay with my kids. It gives me an energy I didn't have just a few minutes ago. Cheers!
