My heart is full of gratitude for you. I feel such a privilege to have you listen.

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, and I am sharing an episode I published two years ago

with Tara Humphrey. Even if you listened when this was first released, I encourage you to listen again with

fresh years. Tara shares how she uses affirmations and gratitude in her business in life,

and when I listened back, I couldn't help but be inspired yet again. I decided to check back

in with Tara, let her know that I wanted to reshare her episode and to get an

update for you from her. Since we recorded this in November 2020, she has now grown her team to

six and says she couldn't be happier. She and her team are back in the office outside the home

and she and her family moved houses. She also shared a bit of a personal

update. She and her husband Mark renewed their vows during lockdown and have now been together

for 23 years. Oh, and one other little thing. She ran across the Sahara. What? I am going to share a

link to the post on LinkedIn where Tara shares this. I wanted to share a

little bit from her post because it's so inspiring and is a great example of why I wanted to

interview her about her practice for affirmations and gratitude. She says, this Sahara challenge almost got me. I had to pull out at 18 miles as I had a

high temperature, low blood glucose levels, and I was dehydrated. I was so disappointed and I felt like a

complete failure. That night I went to bed feeling sorry for myself, but I thought, I have not come all this way for

nothing and repeated, I can complete this race.

I will complete this race.

I am going to finish.

And she goes on to share more details.

At the end, she ended up finishing a full two marathons across the Sahara, 34 out of 130 people,

while taking breaks, being sick, all the things. And she says, I'm so pleased I didn't give up.
