Happy Veterans’ Day! I have to admit, I’ve been meaning to make this post for years. My time in service, for those that know me, was full of tremendous highs and devastating lows. When I left the service, Lord knows, I was DONE! But as time goes on, I often find myself reflecting upon my service and I find much pride when taking inventory of the many lessons learned during my time in service to my country. Here are a few that I feel are as relevant today as ever. 1.      Chill out, it’s not that serious! Nothing is life or death… unless it’s life or death. 2.      You’re way stronger than you believe you are. There’s nothing you can’t withstand for a Year; If not a year, a Month; If not a month, a Week; If not a week, a Day; If not a day, an Hour… Minute… Second 3.      All differences can be overcome when working towards a shared goal. Sounds cliché, but I’ve seen it! 4.      Control what is in your power to control. The rest is just noise! 5.      Surround yourself with as many people as you can… Who are NOT like you! There’s strength in diversity – we fill each other’s gaps! This is clearly an abridged list. The lessons learned while serving in the US Army are too vast to include here. Some lessons, I’m sill only just beginning to understand. All in all, though, I’m better for having served. I’m better for the people I’ve met, the things I’ve seen, and places I’ve been. Thank you to all my fellow Veterans! Today is your day, Enjoy it!

🎖 In a recent article I gave you a sneak peek into my family & personal life, because supporting our Veterans is near and dear to me. Here are 6 meaningful ways you can show your gratitude privately or publicly throughout the year and especially this month. Feel free to share or repost. I will provide hyperlinks to the resources mentioned via the comments.

🌟 Honoring Veterans Day: A Reminder of Resilience & Compassion 🌟 As we celebrate our veterans, let’s also commit to fostering a culture of empathy and support. Let’s not only recognize their sacrifices but also reflect on a vital truth: everyone has struggles that go unseen. A simple act of kindness, a listening ear, or a few words of encouragement can have a profound impact on someone’s day. Make someone smile today.💓

As a company led by veterans, the meaning of Memorial Day carries a deep significance. We honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Watch this video with our CEO, Logan Leslie, to learn more about what Memorial Day means to Main Street Auto. https://lnkd.in/erFAcw6G #memorialday

When I joined the U.S. Army several years ago, I had two goals in mind. I wanted to serve in meaningful ways, and I wanted to find myself. As a result, I spent a vast majority of my military career serving military connected victims and survivors of sexual violence. Following my retirement, my goals remained virtually the same, but I added an additional goal. I challenged myself to understand my why, or to at least be more intentional with that understanding. Since then, I’ve pivoted several times, but my goals remained intact. Each pivot provided SO many opportunities, which were instrumental to my growth. ✔️The opportunity to learn from so many amazing individuals and organizations. ✔️The opportunity to share what I’ve learned with others, individuals and organizations alike. ✔️The opportunity to forge relationships with like-minded people and organizations who are aligned with serving a similar cause. ✔️The opportunity to learn more about my why. All in all, it’s been a 30 year journey. It’s been turbulent at times, but the positive experiences far exceed the negative. I wake up each day, focused on my why, because it’s the one goal that keeps me focused on all the others.
