Have you ever wondered how the power of remembrance fuels motivation and strength? 🤔 I decided for my  50th episode  🎉to share with you a sentimental journey, reflecting on some of my cherished memories, personal victories and challenges of my life. I'll be discussing how a refurbishing project in which I had original plans to complete with my dear sister JoJo, has helped me honor her in a unique way, thank you to my husband Woody! ❤️ It's not just about the joy of seeing my grandkids grow up, tackling refurbishing projects, or even the remembrance of my  sister JoJo, it's also about embracing the hurdles we've faced and the successes we've celebrated! 🫶 Let's take a closer look 🔎at the America 250 project 🇺🇸, a remarkable initiative aimed at celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4, 2026 🎆📜🇺🇸 Led by the inspiring Chairwoman Rosie Rios of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, this project is bringing together the stories of the American people like never before, serving as a testament to our shared history. I urge you not just to listen, but also to share your own story - because your experiences, your struggles, and your triumphs are what make up the fabric of our nation. Let's inspire each other as we move towards a more understanding and compassionate future! 🌏🇺🇸❤️ LINKS! https://america250.org/  ( ✅ out this opportunity for YOU to share your story by telling your reflections on our past, present & future - honoring our 250th anniversary of  our country 🇺🇸 )[email protected] ( send me a question, comment, or share a personal story!
