Following your dreams

We all have our dreams in our back pockets that we think about every so often. Sometimes these dreams get us all inspired and we start going for it and then we get tracked. And then it goes in the back pocket again...but that's OK, since these are the reminders of our creativity and passions that we will always have. I find myself day dreaming of my side business and it brings a huge smile to my face on how it's going to work and envisioning all the success and smiles it will bring to others. I get all pumped up and when I sit down and start planning....well...it gets overwhelming and returns in the back pocket! There are so many wonderful ideas that people have and you can tell they get inspired talking about them which is what it's all about. It doesn't really matter if it comes to fruition, but rather that spark it brings to someone. That is a reminding of how great it is to be alive and the uniqueness each of us have!

Coming full circle

As I read back on some of my entries, there are mentions of wonders that I saw outside my own window. During the last year or so, I moved away from my little house and had a wonderful little detour. But as good fortune would have it, I was presented with the opportunity to return to California and back into my house! This is the first weekend back and I am still in awe of the little wonders outside my window. The hummingbirds and bumble bees flock to my autumn sage, the birds are nesting in my front yard and the lizards are lounging on the patio. It such a good feeling to be back home and still love your surroundings. Life's little pleasures and the peace of a nice calming home is something I do not take for granted anymore.
