With four words your life can be changed because someone took the time to tell you that you’re worth it. More than anything, I believe this simple phrase isn't about how or when we say it, but rather how we receive it. At times, I get too caught up in the noise that encapsulates my entire day leaving me missing the simplicity of a few simple words that hold a tremendous amount of weight and meaning. This is where I would have like to hit the pause button on my life. It took less than 20 seconds and I was back to my day. It was just a phone call from a family member to simply say, “I’m proud of you.” Nothing more, nothing less. The phone call was not triggered by anything worth noting. It wasn’t until I received a phone call this past week that I understood the significance of the phrase. Is it due to the magnitude of the phrase or the risk of overusing it? Maybe – or are we too caught up in our own lives to recognize when and how we should say it? Possessing a priceless meaning, I’m not sure why it’s not spoken more often. Police arrested dozens of people during the coronation, after controversially promising a “robust” approach to protesters.“I’m proud of you” is such a simple phrase, yet we tend to rarely say it. King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on Saturday, and well-wishers packed the streets of the British capital.Īfter the service, the King and selected members of the royal family made the customary appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony, but a flypast of military aircraft was scaled back due to bad weather. Prince William wrapped up his brief speech by thanking the “millions of people who serve in the forces, in classrooms, hospital wards and local communities,” giving his own pledge to “serve all.” “Pa, we are all so proud of you,” the prince said, addressing the King directly. He also commended the King’s charitable contributions through his foundation, the Prince’s Trust, which William said “has supported over a million young people, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to realize their ambitions.” Prince Harry is already back in the US after quick coronation appearance The coronation came amid a rift between Harry and the royal family. Instead, William said he simply wanted to “say a few words about my father and why I believe this weekend is so important.”
William kicked off his speech on a humorous note, making a promise to the crowd that, unlike singer Lionel Richie, who performed at the event, he wouldn’t “go on all night long” with his address. The concert line-up was certainly fit for a King, featuring global superstars, classical music maestros and an eclectic mix of celebrity faces, from Tom Cruise to “The Muppets’” very own Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. The coronation concert capped a day of street parties and community lunch events across the UK in celebration of King Charles III. He added that his grandmother had called coronations a “declaration of our hopes for the future.” “I know she is up there fondly keeping an eye on us and she would be a very proud mother,” said the Prince of Wales at the event held on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Prince William paid tribute to his “Pa” King Charles III at the coronation concert on Sunday, saying “we are all so proud of you” as he evoked the memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
