Hello Sassy family! Have you ever found yourself simply going through the motions, checking boxes, and wondering if you’re truly living or just existing? I struggle with this all of the time.

Maya Angelou’s quote is a reminder that challenges us to shift our focus from merely surviving to fully embracing the experiences that ignite our souls.

We often carry many roles—caregiver, leader, friend, partner, dreamer. In the midst of our responsibilities, it’s easy to get lost in routines and miss the extraordinary moments life offers. But Maya’s words call us higher. They invite us to seek out joy, wonder, purpose, and moments that make our hearts race—not just tasks that fill our calendars.

How Do We Create Breathtaking Moments?

Be Present: Life’s magic often happens in the little things—a makeover, witnessing a sunrise, a simple victory after hard work. Slow down and notice them.

Take Bold Steps: The moments that take our breath away often require courage. Say yes to the adventure, speak up for yourself, pursue the passion that scares you.

Celebrate Yourself: You are worthy of joy, love, and awe-filled experiences. Don’t postpone your happiness waiting for a perfect time.

Maya Angelou’s wisdom pushes us to stop counting the days and start making the days count. You don’t need grand, cinematic moments to live fully—you need authentic, intentional ones that remind you you’re alive.

So, what’s one thing you can do today that will take your breath away?

Start there. Live there. Your life is waiting.

Live on purpose!

Love Always,

💗Ronni Lauren
