Blog #699: Written for You
Written for You: Cherishing Health and Hearing Life’s Whispers.
In Written for You, Shawn Anderson reminds us that life often speaks when we’re still enough to listen. Whether it’s a quiet nudge or a powerful realization, the message might be to slow down, to breathe, or to cherish the health we often take for granted. Written for You encourages us to recognize the signs, honor our well-being, and take one more step forward—grounded and whole.
When it’s lousy…
Our life really suffers.
So how good is yours?
______
Health.
Cherishing it.
Protecting it.
Improving it.
It’s by far my #1 daily goal.
My success, wealth, inspiration, purpose, writing, vision, and contribution?
They each matter far LESS when I’m feeling far LESS.
______
Feel this week’s blog isn’t written for you?
Wait until tomorrow.
Wait until next week.
Wait until next year.
Sooner or later…
You’ll get it.
So be a visionary and give yourself a head start…
Get it now.
______
It’s inevitable……
Good health eventually leaves us all.
It’s up to us to not push its departure quicker than need be.
So what did you do today to protect yours?
How did you…
Move your legs?
Work your heart?
Stretch your muscles?
Feed your body?
Rest your mind?
Did you even think about it?
______
Many years ago…
I worked on a project with Helen Klein who, at that time, had run more ultramarathon races than any woman on earth.
Words she said to me then are tattooed on my soul now:
“Use your body…or lose your body.”
Think it’s too late for you?
She didn’t become serious about running until age 55.
______
All of it.
The opportunities.
The experiences.
The adventures.
The moments.
The shine of each is dimmed when we aren’t feeling or moving well.
When we KNOW this…
When we’ve FELT this…
When we LIVE this…
Why would we dare not take action on doing our best to protect and improve our health every day?
Still feel this week’s blog isn’t written for you?
I promise someday you’ll know that it was.

EXTRA Thoughts…
An email to me…
Shawn,
Occasionally, I respond to your Thursday blog. You write back every time. Thank you for seeing me. Sometimes I feel invisible and no one does. You do.
My answer to her…
Dear friend…
I will always see you. Thank you for the reminder that I need to open my eyes bigger…and see more people.
YOU are appreciated.
With gratitude…
S.

Miss last week’s blog?
Easily stung by rejection? Perhaps last week’s blog was written for you.
Curious?
✨
I hope today’s blog succeeds in doing two things:
1. Gets you to create a plan to improve your health.
2. Gets you to follow that plan…daily.
I need you to be here ten years from now because I will still be writing this blog ten years from now.
With gratitude and hope for a long, healthy life…
