THIS is why I really love my job.
Thank you Venture Title and Certified Mortgage Planners for choosing Notary Plus! These lovely peeps just bought their first home. This was the home their parents owned and occupied for a very long time . ❤️🔥 Really warmed my heart to hear the love they all share. I am blessed.

Part of my daily stoic read.
Epictetus says that “if your choices are beautiful, so too will you be.” It’s simple and it’s true. You are what your choices make you, nothing more and nothing less.
Today will present you with plenty of opportunities to choose—between beauty or ugliness; kindness or selfishness; mercy or vengeance; serenity or anger.
There will be little choices—what you eat, how you talk to people, whether you pick up the television remote or a book, what you think about—and there will be bigger choices too: whether you stand up for what’s right, whether you reach down to help someone who needs it, what kind of work you do, what standards you hold yourself to.
It’s often easier to make the ugly, selfish, vengeful angry choice. To choose to give into your temper or to keep doing things the way you’ve always done them. Beautiful choices—like physical fitness or perfect skin—are rarely as effortless as they seem. No, there is a regimen behind them. It takes exercise, it takes discipline, it takes sacrifice.
But when you see the results? Well, it can take your breath away.
It also depends on how you look at things. Learn to celebrate the small victories. For instants if you continuously feel like you’re taking two steps forward and one step back. Look at it like a dance. Like you’re doing the cha-cha. Not like each day you’re failing just a little bit more. Dance people!
An article I read in the Daily Stoic
The stench of decay. Rotting meat in a bag.
Look at it clearly. If you can.
Marcus Aurelius
Life is that stench, he was saying. We are the rotten meat in a skin bag. From the second we’re born, time starts ticking towards our expiration date. A lot of people want to turn away from that. They want to pretend it’s not real. We’ve gotten very good over the millennia at coming up with ways to help us pretend and to turn away. It’s why so many people are unproductive—they think they can afford to be, because they’re in denial of their mortality and the fact that life is rot, rot, rotting away as they sit there dicking around.
Maybe that’s what the awful smell of fermenting apples did for Schiller. We’ll never really know, but it’s a powerful reminder for us this morning, nonetheless.
Memento mori. Tempus fugit.
Grab it while it’s here. Live for you! Take it while it’s still an option!
Would you? Random thoughts. How dare you talk to me like that!!
We all know one. Love one. Miss one. Cheers to strong women! Let’s continue to uplift each other. Enjoy each other’s success. Continuously remind those with self-doubt that they too are strong.
