Inspiration

Those of you who know me personally know that I am a conflict avoider and a pleaser. Two pretty big character flaws. At times in my life I have made huge mistakes and errors in judgement because I have told someone what they wanted to hear, true or not, and a lie is covered with another lie, and ultimately serious fallout is created by an original wish to simply please. It was one of these life moments that led me to SaGud Things. I don't think the inspiration would have been there had I not hit bottom. There is no reason, no justification, for lying. Ultimately, it will hurt people. There needed to be a way that praise, positivity, and appreciation could be communicated with sincerity, to anyone. Because I have always been so lifted by the act of lifting someone else, I needed a vehicle to give that experience wings, to extend that feeling, for both giver and recipient, into something more than just a memorable moment.

This is what I hope SaGud Things will do. But I think the message, that from adversity and failure comes real growth and greatness, is an important lesson learned. I would not be writing on this page today; I would not have been inspired to do this, had I not stumbled and failed. I want to thank all of the people that believed in me, at my core, and championed me on this adventure. I could not have done it without you.
