NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." -Gloria Steinem I read this the other day and it was like I was back in Italy ordering myself an espresso for that much needed  jolt that all the Italians were doing constantly. The key words to me are imagination, excitement and planning in that statement and cause my heart to flutter with adrenaline rushing through my veins of a mighty river rushing down the banks over the rocks and boulders the noise of the waters are intense and resounding. That is my prayer that I move with such intensity following my Passion and heartfelt excitement that it deafens all doubt and disbelief. I have realized recently that an enormous buzz kill in my pursuit of possibilities was due in part by me and embracing the Procrastination that caused those waters to screech to a sudden slowdown that caused the waters to lag, barely trickling down, dawdling the banks and often times not have the velocity to soar over the rocks and boulders...ever happen to you?  Often times we go through our day and give no real substance or thought to our actions we just execute. I feel this is the most crucial mistake when we are executing our Dreams you see following suit or doing what we have always done is just repetition. Whether in our jobs, relationships or with our home, we need to step back reminding ourselves of our dreams and change... well, quite frankly ourselves. Stop and think for a moment, how much of what you do is simply because you have always done it this way? It is elementary in fact when you think about it, my background is sales so thus the weekly sales meetings, the sales conventions and constant training, after business hours meetings, all were critical tools in constantly redefining me and allowing me to do my job in hopes of soaring to new heights. Isn't that what life is about anyway? 

I fell asleep last night with a smile on my face proud of my day that exceeded my expectations and it was before 8pm! It was just one of those kicking days that you rocked it out of the park as if a runner on a track facing those hurdles head on and executing beautifully. There is a technique that is desirable to accomplish efficient hurdling action during a race. Many runners rely mainly on raw speed, but proper technique and well-planned steps leading up to and between each hurdle can allow an efficient hurdler to outrun faster opponents. Generally, the efficient hurdler spends the minimum amount of time and energy going vertically over the hurdle, thus achieving maximum speed in the horizontal race direction down the track. This is so relevant of us as we strive to achieve our dreams and as life will always present the hurdles, I had to giggle that although thankfully since I am not competitive I was racing no one but myself but I realized how I was loitering around my hurdles thus losing that zing of excitement and panache for imagination. I absolutely detested it and I couldn't fathom as to why for aspects seemed nice as it was becoming all too familiar and comfortable but I was miserable and bored but once realizing that without my excitement for imagination I would be stuck here. Charles Darwin was quoted as saying;“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” 

My Daughter and I watched a surprisingly incredible movie, I thought it to be sci fi which I normally detest but it wasn't at all. It was riveting, emotional, enjoyable so much that you would giggle throughout and even one of the best soundtracks I have heard in ages. It is called The Martian starring Matt Damon and I highly recommend it if you haven't yet seen it. Holy Smokes this fella defied all odds constantly and had that zest for life and immersed in imagination and dreams, therefore,  his dreams produced effective planning and replanning again and again. He lived out that beginning quote sequentially. Such a great lesson on Life and I used this to instill in my Daughter allowing it to resonate in me as well basking in the depths of all it brought me. This fella never lost his Trump factor, and may it be said of us too as this quote; “There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.” This my friends is The Wonderment Of Life.

THE SPICE OF LIFE

Sitting next to a friend sighing audibly as I breathe in that sweet aroma of Satisfaction, you know the ones that you need not speak a word at times their presence floods your being and yet somehow mystically you  have deep conversations channeled between the two of you.  The one that your souls have intertwined and seared together. I experience these in both male and female and I find their value to be as the air I breathe. What is it that causes this unfathomable connection? Without words really exchanged there is a Mom in my daughter's class and I was drawn to her immediately then her daughter came over and she wound up staying and we just chatted all evening both feeling that bond. I have been around others that tried to emit that feeling but there really was no relation to what they conveyed and although their words were spoken the depths of my soul felt no kindred with them because their words were not fueled with depths that resonated.  I liken this to us identifying and pursuing our Dreams. Often times we haven't connected with our desires and purpose we know in our minds that this is a great plan of action but we haven't marinated in it, basting, allowing it to season us. One noun definition of connection is person who aids another in achieving goal. To me that means Friendship in it's truest meaning.  My thoughts go to a poem by Jane Austen that conveys this beautifully:
This little bag I hope will prove
To be not vainly made--
For, if you should a needle want
It will afford you aid. 
And as we are about to part
T'will serve another end,
For when you look upon the Bag
You'll recollect your friend 

Linking our souls to our dreams unleashes the passion to flow and drive us towards our purpose. My mind wanders with thoughts of being at the helm of a large vessel on the water, the wind is blowing all around, the elements daunting and intimidate, yet I befriend all alliances that aid in driving towards the desired destination. Now what would happen if there was a disconnect within these controls that I am placing my confidence in? Allow yourself for a moment to think deeper on this, my hands begin to sweat as fear rushes thru my being like a racer on a toboggan, you see the importance of that connection for I couldn't drive this enormous vessel to it's desired destination impaired.  Often times  people we come in contact with including myself at times are not linked with what they convey at all. I liken their rhythm that of the standard driven car that when not properly executed you stutter and jolt about without the ease and smoothness you long for; in fact, the car can go dead in the middle of the road. Just like with our wifi and cell phones, bad connections cripple our passion to flourish. Connect, communicate, link, bond this is what Jane Austen meant about when you look upon the Bag you'll recollect a friend. This wasn't flippant and emotionally void, it is intense and soulful; purposeful.  Driven to be bare with heart and soul laid open connecting to that which consumes you. Disconnects often times help us to reestablish more clarity in redirecting us with intensity to our Dreams. Embrace those disconnects for often times they are very much needed in our lives to ultimately catapult you to where you are to be. 

Stop for just a moment and allow yourself to reflect on people you have met or have in your life, just sit quietly letting your mind and soul run free.  All that come in contact with you can be there for a reason and sometimes only a season, however; be mindful of those that you just cannot seem to submerge because they pop back up again and again those are the ones that as Jane Austen wrote will serve another end. Now think about the things that you feel driven towards, the things that just ignite you with just the mere thought. The desires and dreams that when you sit allowing to connect it is soothing to the depth of your soul and contentment floods your being as the friend that needeth not utter a word yet ignites your soul with purpose. I believe friendship is the simile to us and our Dreams as I am typing I glanced out my window to gather my thoughts and I gasp as I was surprised to see the host of Robins in my yard their beauty and number of them take my breath away. Oh how my mind runs rampant with wonderment on all that they encounter as they journey on their way to their desired destination.  The Wonderment of Life is connecting and bonding to those in our lives and our Dreams that when we reflect upon them, they utterly take our breath away.

SWEET CAROLINE

Today being the day after Valentine's is a tradition I started many years ago it truly is an excuse to keep my favorite day of the year going just a little longer. I will venture out on this day every year and scout out to find the largest box of candies half off. My daughter knows no differently since it has always been this way and we will keep this special day going for days to come as we sit entangled on the sofa, me, her and this enormous box of chocolates and we will giggle and share our favorites insisting that we try and belly laugh at the other when they get that not so yummy one. By the end it will be a box of half eaten or tiny little mouse bites of chocolates that will be disposed but the longing for next year will be churning and resonate with fond memories and feelings of delight as I place it in the garbage. I think the best part of all of this is sharing this together. Those glorious priceless moments that you can project all your fear, worry, excitement, disappointment, desires, dreams; whatever you are feeling onto another laying yourself open and bare with full assurance they will catch you when you fall and reassure you when needed.  Yesterday is the unapologetic outburst of showering those in your life that have been that for you and I think it is one of our most beautiful Holidays. I was walking through Walmart on Valentine's morning and I was overwhelmed by the sea of balloons that took over the complete front of the store, it was breathtaking and spell bounding.All this love just waiting to be given I envisioned and even positioned myself to watch those that came in to purchase for someone the way they would pick just the right one and I said a prayer for the recipient to be flooded with the heartfelt emotion that prompted this purchase. I have heard the scoffing and comments dissing on my most favorite day, however, it is not about the presents, the cards, candy, balloons and flowers although I purchase most or all of these every single year it is what is behind it that is what I am truly giving. I am giving of myself, all of me and it is the most liberating emotion I have yet to experience. And yes, I will agree, everyday should be Valentine's Day...

While floating I'm quite certain enthralled in my glorious moment purchasing my fifty percent off heart shaped box of chocolates, a man behind me just might have been making fun of me when he snickered about all the women buying candy the day after Valentine's. I just looked at him and smiled projecting my proudness and excitement he couldn't help but grin as I raised my hand accepting this was I.  Lady behind him chimed in it's because it is half off is why. He furthered to say that was wrong because it wasn't as special the day after it was meant to be given and eaten on the day of. It was as if we were playing the mannequin game, frozen in time, the cash register lady gawked at me with utter disgust of his comment it was clearly all over her face with a neon sign waiting with baited breath for my reply and I heard a gasp from someone further back in the line, thoughts dashed to and fro as ants busily trying to rebuild their castle that someone kicked over. Reclaiming my Cupid composure I finished out my transaction of my beloved coveted purchase, picking up my bag of jewels I said, "OR, it could perhaps be lengthening the best day of the year to the next day lingering and basking in the Love enjoying my candy priced half off!" The look on his face was priceless and the ladies were hooting as I said "AH HA" to him giggling with pride as I was walking away, I sashayed as I spoke coyly, "it is mere perspective my friend, it is all in the way you choose to look at it!" He smiled and agreed that I just might be on to something he said he liked it as he shook his head!

The Wonderment Of Life is stripping down to your core, letting it all hang out the good, the bad and the ugly that lurks beneath to another and baring your heart and soul in appreciation and enthrallment that you have the most priceless gift in them. I can attest be warned not everyone will reciprocate however I would rather be shot down knowing that my actions are as seeds being planted and perhaps that is my only role with them but they deserve to encounter the undeniable real deal. I believe there will be others to come along behind me to water and help that seed to take root and bloom. My enjoyment just might be the beauty of their garden from afar but I will inhale til I am intoxicated with the beautiful fragrance that garden emits.  My Mom's voice is ringing in my ears echoing as if spoken off of a cliff into a valley, "All you can take to Heaven Sweetheart is people." Boy does this ever become more and more true the older I become. I am overwhelmed with the liberty that comes with being able to be my truest self, withholding nothing while appreciating those who cause me to be a better me. In chasing after my dreams, I need those in my life to reel me in or reassure me, sometimes reestablishing boarders that seem to have become blurred but to give and receive that depth of acceptance and love is the most treasured thing I have. It is never too late to delve deeper, take off another layer of insecurity and bare your heart and soul to those special ones in your life. As My Mom always whispers, "Give, give, give."

SHOW ME THE MONEY

When I bite off a York Peppermint Patti I get the cool sensation of..... any of us forties and older will remember these commercials. I still love this candy to this day primarily because even as a child those crafty brilliant advertisers hit a home run. To all ages we were buying them by the bagfuls to enjoy being swept away if even for a moment. As I humiliate my Daughter with my mere existence these days she has to giggle every time I reenact one of these commercials and I have even caught her and her friends doing it too!  Youtube these commercials  from the seventies, eighties and later and get a giggle and see if you don't find yourself craving one of these delicious goodies. May it spark within yourself to grab that sensation that moves you to get lost amidst your current surroundings giving no care to those around you to be engulfed with the surge of Sensation. It is powerful, it is a force that is meant to be felt within every fiber of your being. Not all of us can jump out of planes, or do extra ordinary pursuits, but everyone of us can be swept away and if you are lucky it will blow you away. Leaving you forever changed in what the normal ultimately is.  Here's one of my favorites if you just cannot resist... the sensation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=179kmvQZtEM

All of us want to be swept away or blown away if we are truly honest;  moved immeasurably, unlimited by something so powerful it causes us without any actions provoked they come from within your soul unleashed and untamed to parade the wonderment of life before you and through you; ultimately  to drive us  towards our true purpose and dream that we were destined to feel completed by. Why? Because we were inspired. We were all wired with the insatiable drive of joining or starting something that has depth and meaning. I will use the example of the movie Jerry McGuire, what struck me  is how he was moved to create a Mission Statement and it was powerful, gutsy, soulful, it was raw, fueled with unfathomable measure, putting it all on the line. One of those all the chips are in moves, those moments that scare you to your core. Those defining moments you knew you were destined for. We can relate if we self inventory and reflect; without unction, a smile that draws deep like a well appears that regardless the consequence you took that leap to be swept away. That therein is the real win. As quickly as Jerry felt himself soaring high,  he was plummeted back to Earth. It looked like utter failure.

Ever happen to you? Difference for ole Jerry and perhaps myself or you too at times is he kept moving although looking bleak with one employee who was inspired by his Memo which is what his substance was; it caused her to believe in him. Second strike, he had only one client and he appeared to be the worst of them all. It was beautiful how they both connected without reservation to one another and the depth of their friendship changed them vastly through and through.  Jerry hit the Quan. He found it all, everything that drove him to pour himself into that Mission Statement all that passion and energy that fueled him from deep within all came around and he was on top and what looked like he lost he won in every way possible. I understand that it won't always be bases loaded and bringing in all the runs every single time however you gotta swing that bat with all of your heart to make the difference. Every. Single. Time.  In my Home, my Daughter and I are empowered that we can do anything we want to do and be anything we want to be; we are to be driven from the depths within and the zest of fun as we live it out making our moments meaningful and touching those around us to spark them to be swept away, moreover; blown away.  This is The Wonderment of Life to be utterly and completely moved like the mighty wind that takes up a tree from its base roots, being swept away with the sensation that engulfs you in awe of it's mighty power to grab hold of what is real and true within and hold on with all you have and never ever let go. 

I chose this video not only because I am enthralled with Adam Levine but found it relevant that this video is shot at wedding receptions. You know that only one day  that you have dreamt of  your entire life, tirelessly working, mastering all the touches to make certain every minute detail was attended to you envisioned to make it enchanting and memorable and ideally perfect? Mmmmm, there is always more with Life if we dare.  If we get so caught up in ideas or plans and lose our hearts and souls we just might lose that so much more that life was waiting to sweep you away with.

VIP LIST

Alas, sitting down as if in a heap as I collapsed onto the sofa. It is my favorite part of entertaining, known by me and those who know me best as, "the after party." I have an oil painting of me and my Daughter that hangs above my sofa in which I sit and it is titled as such. It is the moment in which I will lose myself as if I were in attendance and bask at all around me. It is liken to homework for me, self inventory perhaps, looking through another's eyes taking what is familiar and mine and stepping away to see as from an outsider. This notion caused me to wonder why we do not do this more so in our every day lives? As when entertaining you have the lists going on to check off, the stress and pressure of sudden hiccups and time slipping away and attending to each detail of your moment although I am immersed as a pig in mud during all of which however; nothing can compare to what I feel in my after party. This is when I will pour myself a potion and flit about with glee, giddy with delight I will sway and twirl to my music losing myself in this moment of my hard work rewarding myself to enjoy drinking in all of it's wonder  and then I will take my seat and just gaze beholding all of the details I sweated over, knowing that this one more element was going to just knock it out of the park. There is a rush of satisfaction that soars through my being and I will lose myself in my thoughts while posting notes in my head of the to do's better next time. Why in this world would I not reflect on my days and mere life and inventory what I missed or could do better tomorrow? 

Yesterday was Monday and I felt exhilarated just on fire as if it were a Friday. Sunday's are MY day, always have been but Monday's normally find me wanting to fast forward straight through to Tuesday. I suppose perhaps I am wallowing in melancholy pouty because MY day is over. But not yesterday, it was as if the veil was lifted and I could see through perfect vision crystal clear on  how to capture my dreams and desires in this New Year. I had been reading some poetry and writings by some of my favorites Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe and then this one ignited my soul “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson I was struck by awe as lightening, I could smell the burning remains as if the intensity was far greater than imagined commanding me to take note of it's Passion.  What better day of the week than to venture out where there is no path and leave a trail than the beginning of the work week? Why yes, how perfect and elementary yet profound and articulate. He went on to say in another reading “What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” This isn't just someone singing "Merrily, Merrily, Merrily life is but a Dream", that is on Wednesday or perhaps Thursday if we are lucky, no, it is purposeful and powerful, like Aretha Franklin bellowing from deep soulful passion, "Whoop, what you want? Baby I got it....
R-E-S-P-E-C-T...sock it to me..." 

Words  are very powerful, but laced and fueled with action propelled with passion is like a wildfire that cannot be quenched or extinguished. Get a game plan just as if entertaining for a house full of guests and lose yourself in your creativity and go after those dreams and desires. Understanding there will be those inevitable kinks to work out and tweak; often times spring boarding us into an entirely different direction however fueled with your Character staying true to yourself alone allowing the path to be unveiled sometimes not until that foot is raised to step out there but your dreams and desires will be the verb definition of character which is to engrave or inscribe on your life as a beautifully themed party; well then my dear friend, you will have left something worthy to behold for others in an after party just by living your life. What a better party to ever plan or be the Host or Hostess to entertain than your Life? Real Life? Now THIS is The Wonderment of Life.

LEAVE THEM GUESSING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN UP TO

Hovering over my cup of coffee eyeing my thermos  calculating how much is left, savoring the delicious moment I am delighted to find myself basking in. Day 24 of 365 the gift of another day of an intoxicating year that I do not recall having such expectancy of what is to come as I do this year. 2017 is going to be one for the record books and for me, the story of the life of Tammy Elmore Cox I am treasuring every second. Instantly as I am typing I begin to hum that song by Aerosmith, "I don't want to miss a thing." Actually, today is "just Tuesday" however purposefully it is going to be one that I will be proud of because I made the conscious decision to drive it to being something of a Terrific Tantalizing Tuesday. I nod in acceptance with a little "hmm" audibly heard yes, I like it. This will do, in fact very nicely it suits me; a smile from deep within welled up and appeared on my face. I found myself in my routine speaking to a bestie as she is on her way to work out realizing I hadn't even thought to make coffee this morning and it is a cold one and I didn't even notice I didn't have it with me as I drove my daughter to school, in fact I left my phone, my purse, you get the point it was looking as if it was going to be that kind of day. Yesterday left me dumbfounded then it occurred to me to mix it up, perhaps it is the cold, crisp air inspiring me, but I dashed to the coffeepot and while it was brewing I was engulfed with excitement of what this day could just possibly have in store for me. Just like that I had my picnic basket filled  and off to find a place to ponder and lose myself as I take a different route for my morning walk to clear my head and invigorate my soul.

A chill just caused me to shiver to my bones, as I close up my jacket a little more snug and bring my hat down just a little lower, sitting on the side of a stream watching all of Nature around me. Fascinated and Enthralled in the majestic beauty and adoring the awe this moment finds me as my eyes are treated with beauty too intense for mere words. I feel free as one of these beautiful birds reflecting on  some beloved poems by Maya Angelou, Robert Frost and others thankful of what all I am beholding is teaching me. Reflecting on my story and chapters that had been forgotten are taking center stage reminding me and fueling me to make that difference not only for myself but for the one I am showing the gift of this life by simply her watching how I conduct myself with mine. Above all I want to make her proud it fuels me to be a better person. We snuggled watching Mr. Church the other evening and we laughed and we cried by it's beautiful story and we discussed afterwards the powerful choices we are given to make that difference in someone else's life. Why settle for "just Tuesday" or the expected? The Wonderment of Life is simply Living in Wonder, moment by moment. Couple synonyms for wonder is surprise, uncertainty. The surprises that are waiting to be unveiled are enthralling, luring us to get out of our comfort zone and dare to go for what you were created to be or do. The uncertainty is there regardless so there is no room for failure only if you dare not try. There is no limit of fulfillment by living a passionate life deeply lived relishing in this moment...satisfied. Oh how it is Well with my Soul today.

I leave with you a song that oddly enough isn't anything but enjoyable.I so wish I had video of that night to share with you but you can imagine. I am obsessed with how my daughter and her gal pals  get into it with all their little beings they move me as they act out the lyrics. They introduced me to this band a couple of weekends ago, here in Alabama we were getting some snow flurries and although I was quite certain we wouldn't come across  any, we heard there was some spotted downtown. It was later in the evening, we piled in the car, my daughter and a car filled with her besties and we were filled with Wonder. Celebrating this Moment stopping to take random pictures and we put the bass all the way, singing to the tops of our lungs, dancing and grooving to this song giggling with one another just getting lost in it  while we rode and rode. No snow was ever spotted that evening but I have an inkling it didn't really matter I am so thankful for the memory and the surprise that I felt so satisfied by venturing out and going. ...This is The Wonderment of Life. What is your Life waiting to Wonder and be surprised by?

GOING ROBUST

The boisterous alarm seemed to come quite early this morning, I felt like a cartoon character as it's blaring ruckus was rocking me to and fro as it clamored out causing pandemonium to my warm and dreamy world   underneath the layer of covers. Hitting the snooze button repeatedly sinking back down into the pillow as if my head was the weight of a boulder pulling my covers up and over my head as if to shield me from the harshness intruding my pillowy world. Alas I sauntered to the coffee pot, strumming my fingers wiping the sleep from my eyes as I impatiently await for that moment that for me just starts my day. That beautiful brewing sound and magical aroma were delighting my senses as if reassuring me today was going to be an amazing day. As I raise my cup to my mouth I inhale not with a whiff but savoring as my eyes close my mouth curls up with delight as I anticipate the glorious first sip. It is my favorite moment of the day. I remember many years ago sharing with coworkers at the office how nothing beats that first sip in the morning and I built it up to them sharing this momentous moment and then I sipped it, all eyes waiting entranced in the delight and feeling and like a needle scratching a record; it was rancid and I spit it back out! We all just laughed and laughed, it still makes me belly laugh all these years later. How often in Life we go through the motions and do not savor the little blips in our day that really are the game changing moments? 

My daughter had been gone for the long weekend returning home last night, I scurried around and cleaned making it fresh and inviting. Washed her bed clothes and favorite blanket, candles lit all around downstairs and upstairs to usher her in and welcoming her back to her familiar blip of her day. She wiggled and snuggled with the familiar smile I had missed for the weekend, she sighed after breathing in the air as if life sustaining that moment and she said there is no place like Home. Her eyes closed as she nodded her head as she spoke the words piercing my heart with the weight of her words fueled with emotion.  You see it was conscious action on my part to aid in the details of making her moment Momentous. Just a few synonyms of Momentous are, earth shattering, significant, pivotal, critical, chips are down. Another example I was sharing with some friends recently was, I had dated a fella many many years ago however he left his mark and for me, a standard set on dating. He invited me over for dinner to his home when I walked in I was greeted with the delightful aroma of dinner cooking, he met me at the door with a glass of wine, Sade playing in the background, Candlelight filled the room and a beautiful table was set. He was from Iceland and for him, his culture it was his "norm." But his added efforts to enhance our just dinner made it something that all these years later I still savor. I have Sade on my iPod in fact because it somehow transcends me back in time to a moment I will forever relish in. Another example that pushes it's way to the forefront of my thoughts, I have a friend and on  Facebook he uses lyrics to songs to describe how he is going to work out, it is amazing how it super charges me as I too am starting out my day trying to muster up the mojo. You see, we are leaving people with something imparted of us whether it's flippant or intense. As we are chasing our Dreams and Obtaining our Goals, all of these moments in between is the crazy thing called Life. 

The Wonderment Of Life to me is the impartation of the depth of these moments is what I felt. My daughter felt the soothing, familiar, expected things that she finds comfort in renewed. My Islandic friend I couldn't recall one thing we ate, I remember feeling  inspired to do the special touches and the depth of conversation and the beauty of friendship. Lastly, my friend posting on Facebook allows me to feel inspired and hopeful of obtaining my own dreams and goals as I am watching him fulfill his own. As I journey on my way I am lured by the depths of emotion that people possess. Recently I was overcome with fear, I explained to a friend that I was like a little child as they want to jump into a pool of water and they are afraid, so clearly you see how they stick one toe in and draw it back out instantly, they will gaze into the water, even bending forward to examine seeing their familiar reflection and then they will step back several steps walking facing the water but going away from it. This was me.  I read a quote that said, "When it feels scary to jump, that's exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life. And that I cannot do." You see, as we are tackling to live this Life going for our Dreams and Goals, it can be daunting and if we are not careful we will give into the disbelief. We have to delve deep, swatting away the spider webs and dusty areas that have been closed off to disappointments life has brought. Resuscitating these parts with vibrance sweeping through your being the renewed confidence that you can do it because it is something you feel, you know. Give it your all, half way is not momentous; go for the earth shaking, weighty, notable moments and just see the difference. Those are the ones that simply cannot blend in they are stand outs in the crowds simply believing and feeling what they were created to feel. 


There are two new movies I am obsessed to see one is The Book of Love and the other is Mr. Church. I encourage you to youtube the trailers for both. Both of these seem to be about what I am feeling and sensing to go beyond and further and live with all the depths you can find.What has me pondering is how we go about our lives just living and doing our "norm" how is it effecting those around us? What will they remember about you later? Not that we have to die but as life transcends us into other areas we lose touch but we visit one another in our hearts through memorable moments. Just blips of our days that somehow will cascade our world into Momentous changes. Don't just go through the motions when living your Life and day, get down and dirty and in tune and feel it.
