The Power of Influence
Do you know how much POWER your influence has? I went to the dermatologist this week, and was once again reminded of the influence I have on others. As I reflect on the conversation I had with my doctor and the genuine comments she made about me, I can’t help thinking about just how much all women influence others more than we may realize.
I may not have a big following just yet, but honestly, don’t we all influence those around us in some way?
We have those who look to us for inspiration in how we dress, fix our hair or makeup, how we walk and carry ourselves. But not only that, people watch our attitude! Have you thought about that? How you greet (or don’t greet) others, the small talk with a cashier or other people waiting in line. Do you take the time to help others reach an item on a high shelf, or are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time for others?
Oh yes, we all influence others in many ways!
And if you have raised children, you know the influence you have on them! Good or bad, they absorb it all. What we choose to do and say each and every day impacts others in some way.
People are observing you every day and YOU can have a HUGE influence on THEM.
What message are you sending out? Is it one you would be proud of or one you might be ashamed of?
I think we need to be more aware of what message we are sending others!
Have a fabulous week my friends!

“How To Draw 101 Cute Stuff For Kids: Simple and Easy Step-by-Step Guide Book to Draw Everything like Animals, Gift, Avocado and more with Cute Style”
I bought this for my 6 year old granddaughter who started taking a real interest in drawing. She absolutely loves it!
What I really like about this drawing book is that it guides you from the first part of the picture to draw all the way to the finished product using arrows. There are also some pages in the book to use as backgrounds for your pictures. It is so beautifully put together, I absolutely love this! I also bought her the “Drawing Paper Booklets” (below) to go with her book.
