🥰 A LITTLE MOTIVATION MONDAY: “IF NOT YOU, TH

🥰 A LITTLE MOTIVATION MONDAY: “IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?”

This afternoon I was listening to a commencement speech given by Deshauna Barber, now motivational speaker, Capitan in the US Army, and former Miss USA.

In her speech, Deshauna accounts how she tried and failed to be crowned Miss USA not once, not twice, but nearly six times. Just when she was willing to accept defeat and move forward with her life outside of pageantry, her mentor continued to ask her "If not you, then who?" This question, and her strength, helped her to continue to push forward eventually taking home the crown in 2016.

The remainder of her story, and her speech, left an impression on me today. Here are just a few of her inspiring words. I wanted to share with you all in the event you need to hear it today, too 💞

"At times our purpose drops in our laps as if the heavens threw it by accident. Do not fear failure, but please be terrified of regret.
As giving up is the birth of regret, you will have a hundred moments that will be filled with someone telling you "no". The reality of life is that we will all hear more nos than we hear yeses. And, we will fail a lot, and I mean a whole lot. But, what I ask of you today is to not take no for an answer.
Don't be afraid of nos. Be afraid of the possibility of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because to decided to quit before the clock strikes 12."

Give a little shout-out to yourself below if you have no plans on quitting! 👊🏻👊🏻

@hudsonville_ic & Mini Strawberry Pies? I'll take two, please!

Summer is upon us and there are few things we love more about the warmer weather than fresh fruit, sweet treats, and reasons to celebrate outdoors with friends and family.

Mini strawberry pies topped with a generous scoop of Hudsonville Ice Cream Limited Edition Blueberry Graham Delight are an easy summer strawberry dessert recipe perfect for all of your warm-weather celebrations. These little pies are almost too cute to eat!
