*tap tap* Is this thing on? – OGT Day 1

Well, this is embarrassing.

I started the year writing blog posts about how gung ho I was about getting started and being consistent, and then… nothing.

Okay, not nothing exactly – just nothing here on the blog.

Whoops.

It’s been a year of growth and learning and progress – I just didn’t document any of it.

But today, on my 39th birthday, I heard Marc Scott talk about his One Good Thing project. It was really quite serendipitous. I listen to the VOpreneur podcast when I’m in the car. I don’t listen to the episodes in order, I generally just pick and choose based on the topic and whatever mood I’m in. This morning, I picked episode 49 – The Episode That Will Change Your Life. In that episode from 2019, Marc relayed a story about how in 2011 he committed to writing down one good thing every day for a year. It could be anything – a great meal, a funny joke, booking an amazing job, etc. But every day, he had to write down one good thing that happened that day before he went to bed. I was intrigued by the idea; I definitely tend to skew towards the negative, and this is a great way to reprogram the brain to accentuate the positive.

But then, I sat down to go through my next module of the Voiceover Marketing Playbook – Mindset Matters. In that module, Marc once again told the story about the One Good Thing project he did.

The universe is trying to tell me something.

So I’m not going to ignore it. Today is my birthday and that seems like the perfect day to kick off a year-long project.

So here’s today’s one good thing: It’s my birthday! And I am loved. So maybe that’s two things, but they both made my day pretty spectacular. Here’s to my 40th year and achieving my dreams!
