A reason to smile and see the bright side

Kelly a 2020 graduate of The Ohio State University always seems to be in a good mood. Her smile is ever present. She attributes this to her “goofy mom” who has taught her to look at the bright side and seek the silver lining of things.

Because of the work situation during the pandemic she found herself in New Orleans taking care of her baby nephew as a nanny. She never expected to be in this position. She had never lived outside of Ohio and look at where the pandemic had brought her.

With the mindset her mother cultivated in her she is able to take on unpredictable things on a whim and with a smile on her face. She looks at it as a hurdle to overcome rather than a problem that she has to solve. And it is with this mindset that she successfully takes on what life throws her way.

This ability to have a positive mindset is a challenge for many people. Hearing stories of people who are able to easily and successfully do this is motivating and powerful. It is with hope that these stories provide the support needed for others to feel comfortable enough to take the leap.
