As it turns out they were celebrating ME! Yep……ME! My friends and family were so excited that I was sharing my gift and starting this blog, they wanted to show their grace, love and support by coming together to present me with money for a new computer (which had recently died).  You can’t imagine my surprise and shock in the events that took place in orchestrating such an act of love and kindness for me, including those special souls that weren’t able to join the celebration in person.

I adore this time during the month of February, and the thought of Valentine’s Day with all things pink and red.  My eyes gloss over when I see little glimpses of Cupid’s day, while passing by store displays.  I quickly get drawn in, and think I MUST have it, or surely someone in my life does!

We all possess the ability for greatness and living our dreams, big or small.  Find someone that inspires you to be the best you, and live life like you mean it.  Know you are made for moments of greatness, then go out and inspire others. Your dream is only an inspiration away.

Fear often stops us from taking the next step, getting that new job,  living the dream we have in our heart, or maybe tackling finances or weight.  If we take that leap of faith and listen to our hearts and just jump, the fear may be nothing more than a distant memory.

Another young couple squealed in delight as we had offered a small token; it was as if they had won the lottery or something much greater than we had shared

With the start of the new year, and taking it day by day; I am mixing up my mornings as well.  Part of each new day begins with doing things just for me

All kidding aside, I love when my daughter comes home from college, but I dread it at the same time too! She is independent at school, can come and go as she pleases; but that doesn’t work so well when she comes home.  Let me rephrase that….it doesn’t work so well for me.

Well friends, I am mixing it up this year and my goal is simply this…drumroll please……a one day resolution! Yep, you heard it right; I am taking it one day at a time. No worrying about tomorrow, next week or next month; just focusing on today.
