Dare

Dare to dream.
Dare to think.
Dare to believe.

Dare to love.
Dare to laugh.
Dare to share.
Dare to fail.
Dare to be.
Dare to live.

Finding that Special Someone

Oh the things we do to attract others.
The workouts,
the makeup,
the hair styles,
the fashions.
All in hopes that we'll find that someone special.

I've got a secret.

shhhhhh

That someone special
is YOU!

Until you're happy with you,
no one else will fill any voids.
Find your someone special . . .
inside your own very special self!

Lose Yourself

I don't know about you,
but music is part of the foundation of my life.

I grew up surrounded by it.
Everything from the doo wop of the 50's to classic rock.
From classical to heavy metal.
From folk to orchestral.
It really does soothe the savage beast.
It quiets the mind.
It ignites passion.
It fuels a workout.
It softens loss.
It empowers.
It brings memories to life.

Today . . . find a moment to lose yourself in music.
You won't regret it.

Choice

Choice is magnificent.
Choice is uplifting.
Choice is enlightening.
Choice is strengthening.
Choice is YOURS!

You choose how you behave.
You choose how you respond.
You choose who you associate with.
You choose who you befriend.
You choose your emotions.
You choose your feelings.
You choose.
You!

Your Path

Sometimes our paths seem clear and concise.
Other times, we wonder if there really even is a path at all.
We struggle through the underbrush,
climb atop the boulders,
slither around debris,
and finally fall, exhausted,
on the nearest clump of earth to rest.
It is at this time,
that our path is defined by much more
than a simple direction.
We endure so very much
to offer ourselves to others.
We struggle in order to realize the strength
to help another human.
We slither and climb
so that we might gain tenacity and perseverance.
And, when we have rested for a brief moment,
on our little clump of earth,
we see again, a sliver of a tattered route
on which we continue our journey.
Stronger.
Braver.
Steadfast.

Follow Your Path.

A Single Candle

All the darkness in the world,
cannot extinguish the light
of a single candle.

Be that candle!

December

Oh December!
Christmas time!
I'm kind of a Christmas nerd.
I collect Santas and Angels.
I so believe in the Reason behind the season.

I hope that your holidays
are whatever you need them to be;
filled with love,
faith,
family,
fun,
lights,
ribbons,
giggles,
joy,
and peace!
