Life.


Life is good. It's actually great these days. Today I am in a surprisingly good mood. I've had a lot of wonderful experiences this week that have helped me to, "step back and smell the flowers", if you will. I've been inspired by others and its made me take a real good look at my own life. And you know what? I'm happy. Things just seem to be going great, and they only keep getting better. Right now I aspire to slow down and take in the little things. Those things in my life that truly make me happy. Moments that I don't want to forget. And if I'm moving to fast I'm going to miss them. I'm quite positive in my purpose here on earth. I feel invincible. There is nothing that I am not capable of. Typing those words have made me think of one of my favorite quotes which I now want to share-

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, like children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Maryanne Williamson

"Who are you not to be?", right? Those words speak for themselves. Anything is possible.

It feels good just knowing that I am striving for happiness. Because at the end of the day, isn't that all that really matters? I know what makes me happy. I am happy with family, good friends, being in love, being a part of a remarkable church, loving my occupation, and making the most out of life. I find joy in good books, laughing, cooking, cuddling, dancing, traveling, singing and sweets!

Today is a good day. I hope it's been good to you too...
