Here are a few Derby Life Lessons I'm carrying with me this May — and maybe you'll find one that speaks to you too:

1. Show Up Ready to Shine
Every jockey, every horse, and every spectator steps into Derby Day knowing it's a BIG moment. You deserve to treat your days the same way. Show up for your life ready to shine — hat, smile, and confidence firmly in place.
2. It's Not Just About Speed
The Derby may be fast, but the journey to get there? It takes years of patience, training, and grit. Progress in life, fitness, health, and dreams is the same way. Honor your journey — every lap, every stumble, every sprint.
3. Celebrate Big, Even the Small Wins
Win or lose, Derby Day is a celebration. When was the last time you cheered yourself on just for showing up? This month let's celebrate every "win" — a great walk, a strong workout, a day you simply chose YOU.
4. Stand Tall and Wear Your Crown
Those Derby hats? They're not just accessories — they're statements. You, my friend, have earned your crown too. Age, experience, wisdom, resilience... wear them proudly.

Your Challenge This Month:
Pick one "Derby Life Lesson" and make it your mantra. Share it with a friend, write it on a sticky note, or wear your metaphorical (or literal!) hat and own it. 
And hey, if you need a little "crowd cheering you on" moment — you know where to find me. 😉

Stay strong, stay joyful, and stay bold!
