In the Spirit of Thanksgiving...

 This year I am thankful for:

  1. The strong support I received from friends during a very trying time.
  2. The learning experiences I have been given and my ability to push myself past traditional boundaries.
  3. My therapist for helping me see things more clearly.
  4. My newfound independence and newfound outlook on life.
  5. That those around me have experienced less stress and pain this year.
 This year definitely presented me with new and intense challenges. For those of you this year who showed me unconditional love, support, checking-in on me, laughing with me, experiencing life with me, lending an ear for me, being my very vocal cheerleaders...Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly needed that. The people and experiences above have help set me up for a life of success and possibilities. I have managed to grab the reigns and am taking control of life and all it has to offer.

Done Any Good Daydreaming Lately?


The ability to daydream has to be one of the best gifts mankind has been blessed with.

I find daydreaming to have very positive affects on who we choose to identify ourselves as on any given day.  

Moderate daydreaming is almost a necessity for me. I believe the art of daydreaming keeps you mentally sharp, sparks creativity, gives you hope for the future, motivates you and encourages goal setting, and allows you to push the boundaries within your own mind as well as those created by outside sources. 

No matter how outrageous our daydreams are, they must hold at least an ounce of truth about ourselves and a clue to our true potential. If they didn't, then why do so many people daydream and recall their daydreams with such emotion?

It is the earliest process that helps create the next President, the next Tim Burton, the next Steve Jobs, the next artist, doctor, acrobat, magician, political/environmental activist or whatever else you can think of. 

So how about letting your daydreams take over for at least a moment each day...maybe you will learn a little more about yourself and discover the key to your true potential ; )
