What TODAY is all about...
Disclaimer: My intentions are not to try to preach or be perceived like I know it all- because I don’t. All I hope is to share a little something I believe in and perhaps it gets you a wink more excited about life as you were before reading this. Read on lovelies!

A little something I've noticed...
So often we get caught up in our everyday lives: working,
cooking, cleaning, paying bills, going out with friends, waiting for the
weekend to arrive, focusing on our relationships, attending church on Sunday,
anticipating that pay raise, grocery shopping and oh so much more. That list
could go on forever. Well it’s great to be driven, focused and perhaps on a
schedule. However, we often miss the world around it and with that it passes us
by. We don’t see the beauty in everyday things and soon enough they become
ordinary: the mountains, trees, wind, familiar faces, smiles, loved ones,
water, the air we breathe, sunshine on our face and just like the other list this one could go on forever as well.
There will always be something to complain about but there is also always
something to be grateful for- you choose. We have so much to be thankful for,
I’m alive today and if you are reading this so are you. Amen to that. We hear
it so frequently that everyday is a gift (and most times we shrug it off as just
another saying or cliché quote) but let it sink in for a moment….You (and me
for that matter) don’t have to be given another day, another tomorrow but we
are. Your work is not done, today is not for worrying how the bills are going
to get paid or getting in another argument with your significant other or hating your body but it
another chance to try and strive for whatever your goal(s) may be. Whoever or
whatever you believe in- whether it is Allah, God, Buddha, or the Universe or
something else, thank Him, thank them, thank it. You have air in your lungs,
love in heart and unimaginable opportunities, for today you are alive. Take
today and carpe diem the crap out of it, see the beauty and live in it because
none of us are promised tomorrow. Enjoy the awe and wonder today!
A day a lived in the moment...

Do I look worried about the bills I had to pay? Or my future plans? No. The funny thing is on this day I had NO IDEA what I wanted in life, where I wanted to be or what my future held. But I didn't care. I was so immersed in that day and in those moments nothing else mattered. For today, I can't wait to see where the day takes me, for all I know today could be the greatest adventure of my life. Hukuna matata babies!
HUGE
hugs & kisses,
