Build Your Dream Space


It's the night before the 4th of July and fireworks have been going off for at least an hour now. Although I can’t see them from my little cottage, I can hear them and am brought back to the youth days when fireworks were brand new; the colors, formations and sounds were so moving. I felt an honor, a privilege, a sense of peace just to have these unbelievable colors and sounds enter my path.

As I get older, things begin to dull. Daily activities have become mundane and the real ‘exciting’ activities only seem to come around once in awhile.
But, I’m here to tell you that we can make life exciting again. We have the power to choose and can sit in the corner, flunk a class, be depressed, fall in hate, and go through life like it was a chore. Or, we can experience the fireworks for the first time again.
We can fall in love, get inspired, ace a test, dance on tables, forgive ourselves, breathe and enjoy the ride.
Don’t you dare…not dance.

I love what you say about color. I had the privilege of going to the Georgia O'Keefe museum today and learning that she experienced color like some of us experience sound. Awesome.
