Good Morning, Sunshine!

"When you wish upon a star...makes no difference who you are...anything your heart desires...will come to you...if your heart is in your dream...no request is too extreme...when you wish upon a star." ~song from Walt Disney's Pinocchio

Do you have a dream? One that comes from your BIG beautiful heart? Today think about it...what is your dream for YOU? Listen to your Soul...create from your heART...& tonight glance up at the stars & declare it to the Universe!!! That is all you need to do today...we are dream makers!! Who doesn't want to live their dream~come~true life?!? First, you have to have one;)

Good Morning, Sunshine!

My birthday is tomorrow which means today is the last day I will be this age. There have been times in my life when I have realized that things would change...& so I was completely aware & appreciated the moment. Some were easily recognizable like visiting my parents for the last time before the birth of my child....realizing that I wouldn't just be the child anymore...I would be a parent too the next time we met.

There are others though when I didn't have that awareness...seeing a man glance back after saying goodbye & realizing in that moment that it was truly goodbye....not until we meet again...wishing I had been more present. Every day is a gift & brings something new...never to be the same tomorrow...so always be present, cherish those around you, & simply enJOY all your moments!!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

"If you want to be happy, be." ~ Leo Tolstoy

Today choose to be HAPPY!! Feel it as you shimmy out into the world...as you look up at the sky...as you smile at those who cross your path...as you laugh at yourself when you realize you are just taking things way to seriously. Today...simply be HAPPY.... enJOY!!!

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” ~ Anais Nin

Decide today to live BIG!!! It will take courage to stretch past the you that you know...that you are comfortable with...but that is the place where you will come alive!! YOU are made to experience all life has to offer...so get to it!!! Be brave!!

... & remember to keep your heart w i d e open as you do
