NEW YEAR!-Name it to claim it...

        As the New Year approaches us we begin to set our plans as we do each year. Some of those plans are sometimes bound to go stray for we fail to grasp them with both hands and swing tightly on our tempest and those that do not work out were just simply not meant to be. This year I invite all to try a new approach- i have blogged similiar before but this is too fitting to pass up the chance to share.
         Burst the doors of this year wide open with passion and fury, hope and belief. Do not fear to dream big, reach high and never place limitations on yourself- believe that you possess the tools and determination to make wise choices for your destiny. Go forth without worries and leave the baggage of this past year behind and begin with a fresh bounty of goods. Be the artist of your life-you do have a choice- and splash your canvas with your whole heart of brilliant color-show your passion and love of life; it is too short not to be all that we wish to become. So, buckle up my friends and prepare for the ride toward your dreams and hopes; this is your own personal journey so grab life by the reigns, name it and go out there and claim it...

We are the Tide...

       We can equate the changes in our life to that of the journey of an ocean tide.  Always stricking out against it are the forces of nature; there will be calm flowing paths and then the liquid can blow into a mass of turbulence while screaming and howling. Yet, it will continue to roll toward its destination.
        Winter will come bringing ice to invade the calm flow of the path left over from the fall season where it has abandoned its leaves of color into the traveling waters. Yet, it rolls toward its destination.
         Summer will embrass us with warmth and growth in the beams of the sun. Coolness remains only in the depths of the water. Our lives will travel through these same seasons but we must not falter, we must keep rolling toward our destination, and we must clutch our momentum like a final breath. Life is a journey of constant flowing and we are the Tide...

Up, up, and away...

        Today let us take a venture, take a ride, and see the world anew. Let us pretend we are balloons filled with Helium with our string clinging tightly to keep us grounded-but today let us not stay stuck on the grass or cement beneath our feet. Let's turn loose and float above, float high and swift. Let us take in the true beauty below as now we can see the whole big picture from the top of the of the peaks as we gander at what is now below us. Get caught in the breeze and drift with the clouds and bask in the beams of the sun while the sky looking down is as blue as the ocean- and swim in that ocean. Throw inhibition(to a point) out the window and take some chances in life.
          There are times when we must step outside our little world and be willing to travel new journey's, new paths and why not plan while looking from up high as opposed to just looking around you. There will come those times when we have to be brave enough to try things without a safety net. Just for today reach down and untie yourself, hold on tightly for up, up, and away we go...

When no one is looking...

      " We are who we are when no one is looking." It is a sad fact that this is a truth for many. And I have to ask WHY? Why can you not be proud of who you are and the accomplishments you have made? If we spend our time trying to be who everyone else wants us to be or expects us to be then it just becomes habit and we start to believe that they are right. When alone in a darkened place at times the demons of letting ourselves slip away come to taunt us.
       We mustn't cower away and let go of  the things that make us who we really are only when we are alone. Be proud, be confident, be comfortable in your own skin and be brave enough to it show the world. Be YOU everyday, all the time. Not everyone will like you for it and that is okay for you do not need those people who are judgemental. Turn loose your passion in this life, there is no time to waste. Throw yourself to the four winds and experience the freedom of being you; always being you, not just when no one is looking...

To do it all over again...

       "If I had my life to do over again.."- We have heard it and I am sure we have almost all said it but do let's examine it. If we were given the chance to do it over again I am sure there would be so much more we would do and so much we wouldn't have done. Looking back sometimes fills us with regrets and it makes it hard to move forward for we wish we could change them. The small regrets are those that eat us up inside and that is one thing that makes us want to do it all over again.
        We say that we would do so many things differently and no doubt we would but that does not mean that we will not reach the same outcome simply because we traveled a different road. See, we don't get to do it over again with that knowledge of knowing what we know now, it would be an entirely different journey with all the learning in the world awaiting us. We may travel the other path of the diverged road and yet still meet the same outcome only by a different means. We may change a lot but you can not stop your feet from leading you down the path they are meant to travel for all roads are different but often lead to the same place. If you are happy and content then do not wish To do it all over again...
