Remembering all the inspiring things I had going on, and how I was being brought out from situations that may have taken me out, the greatest thing I needed each time was to reconnect. 

Connections are everything. 

My 3 most important connections:

• Connection to God. The author and finisher of my faith. I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength, but first, I have to have a connection.
• Connection to the real me. As I said before know who I am and seeing a place for myself gives me a purpose and ikigai to fulfill. Connecting on the me that I only want people to see can only last so long, and the real me and you will always surface at some point.
• Connection to others. The connections to others allows me to let God live out our partnership through me and I get to be a part of the impact of my circle of influence. I get to help others grow, deepen their faith walk, and enjoy life.

If a connection gets broken, we need to reconnect on a positive note to thrive and flourish in this short span of time we have with each other.
