There is a saying, ‘time waits on no one’. Yet, people get ‘stuck’ in situations every day! The unexpected occurs. Fear paralyzes. Happiness halts. Love gets lost. Joy seems to take a vacation. People feel disconnected, discombobulated, or dismissed. Life happens.
And so, every now and again, we need someone to jumpstart us into forwarding motion. We need an energizing word. We need a push toward excellence so that we can stop meandering in mediocrity. We need guidance to forward move towards our destination – from our right now to our ‘not yet’. We need…to forward move with Maxine Bryant!
What time is it? It’s time to move forward with Maxine Bryant!
