The #OpenRoadChallenge

"There’s so much division and turmoil going on in the world and sometimes it seems like we’re limited in what we can do. The Open Road Challenge is something that starts with us." Timotha Lanae.

 Get involved with the #OpenRoadChallenge by deciding to let go of past hurts, guilt, shame, or self-image hang ups. Take the first step in mending relationships by saying, “I’m sorry”, or extending forgiveness. Then share the challenges you have overcome or relationships you have mended as a result of joining this social media initiative. Document your success online using the #OpenRoadChallenge hashtag, or simply say I took the #OpenRoadChallenge and challenge others to do the same.

"We're challenging our social media circle to better themselves in their relationships, career, and spiritual life." Ryan Liestman.

 The #OpenRoadChallenge is a chance for everyone to be involved while making a difference, starting one person to another. "This challenge is for us to get a little closer to our purpose in life by letting go of the past and taking on the Open Road" Timotha Lanae.
