I don't know about you, but sometimes I need extra encouragement,  especially on Mondays! Today, my encouragement came from a couple of old TV shows--"Behind the Music" and Lifetime Intimate Portraits". 

They were series where celebrities shared their lives and career trajectories with viewers. I'm nosey by nature. So, I have always been a voracious reader of biographies and TV shows like these are my jam too. And because I have watched a lot of them, I have had time to reflect on the ultimate lesson.

Don't give up. 

The weather will get better. The sun will shine brighter. The sky will clear up. And your situation will improve. So, let's keep walking together into the sunshine, even if we don't see it, we shall keep walking until it comes.
