The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Aimee – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Happy.

What word did you choose and why?

Happy

I chose the word Happy. Sometimes you just need a push to show you where you really want to be.

I want to focus on the moments that bring me happiness, not the hard moments. 

Feeling secure in my home, work, family, and who I surround myself with brings me happiness. 

Enjoying the phase of life that I’m currently in brings me happiness. 

Living life on my own terms excites me, and I am aiming to create more of that.

Some years are just really hard. Last year was one of those for me, and by the end of it, I had a really hard time finding my Happy. This year I want to focus more on what excites me and less on the hard moments. For me, I feel happiest when I feel secure in where I am and what I’m doing. Secure in my environment, in my work, with my family and with the people who I allow in my life – that brings me happiness. So does taking the time to enjoy the season of life that I am currently in right now. Sometimes it just takes a hard year to give you the push to show you where you really wanted to be, so here is to focusing on the Happy in 2023.

 

If you could go back and talk to the younger version of Aimee, what would you tell her?

 

            If I could talk to young Aimee, I would probably help her adjust how we do things a little bit. Not to change what I’ve done and accomplished, but just how I did it.

The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Emma – She might just win the best big sister award.  Determined is her word – but I feel like there is so much there that she has yet to uncover.

What word did you choose and why?

Determined

I think that my mom is my biggest role model – all I’ve ever seen in her is determination.  I want to be the same way.  I remind myself to stay determined by remembering all that i have already overcome – and know that i can accomplish anything.  

What is something you want to accomplish?

After graduation i want to major in biology and environmental science and minor in chemistry – go to school in illinois.

Meet Phoebe – bundle of sunshine. I just have no other words for this little girl.

What word did you choose and why?

Kind

I love being kind.  To be nice to other people and help them if they need help with something.  I am kind to friends and best friends. To be kind to your family means helping them do other stuff. When i grow up – i want to be a nurse so that i can help people be healthy again.  I love helping people.

The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Jocelyn – even though life probably hasn’t thrown the kindest things… she is learning how to be brave and rise above.

What word did you choose and why?

Valiant

Valiant means to be brave and strong.  I have had a lot of troubles and hardships in my life – it is important to me.  Valiant has a lot of qualities to it – I wanted to be more than just brave. I find the strength to be valiant by remembering why i need to be strong.  Even in low moments, i know there will be a high one coming. .

What is something you want to accomplish or conquer?

In the next year – i want to feel more comfortable with the family that I am choosing for myself vs the family i was given.

The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Becky. She suffered a lot of loss this past year.  “I lost my husband.  I lost my mom.  I lost my grandmother who raised me.  It’s been a rough road.  Losing my husband was something i never saw coming.  We were married for 27 years, together for 30 years”

What word did you choose and why?

Strength

I have found a strength within myself and those around me to keep going.  My friends and my boys – they give me laughter and something better to focus on.

If you could go back 30 years ago… what would you tell that Becky.

I would tell myself that you are a lot stronger than you think you are.  I’ve always had someone take care of me.  So i am learning that it can do it.  I find pride in myself for doing the things that I didn’t know i could.

What is something you want to accomplish or conquer?

I want to get thru the Alaskan cruise i am going on.  It was the cruise my husband wanted to go on.  I want to go and make memories and truly enjoy it. That will be the first time that i travel without him.
