These past couple of weeks, my eyes have been opened brighter than ever. I’ve been starting my mornings with a gratitude journal, and not looking at my phone for at least an hour. It’s taken so much discipline, but the payoffs have been incredible. My eyes are truly open, and I’m seeing what matters most. Not anyone’s Instagram feed or what they choose to put out in the world. I see the little things. What I’m grateful for. And that’s all of you. It’s being able to wake up every day and do what I absolutely love to do. And that’s because of you. THANK YOU. I encourage all of you to try starting your day with what you’re grateful for. Not work emails or checking to see how many likes your picture got. There’s so much more to life than that. When you start to list off what you’re grateful for, you’ll notice how many blessings you have. How beautiful life is. Try it

Choice...
is the most powerful tool we have.  
Everything boils down to choice.  
We exist in a field of infinite possibilities.  
Every choice we make shuts an infinite
number of doors and opens an infinite
number of doors.  At any point, we can
change the direction of our lives by a
simple choice.  It is all in our hands,
our hearts, and our minds.

Try not to become a person of success
    but rather a person of value.....

Try not to want more
    but to be grateful for what you have....

Try not to judge those that you see
    but to think of what they would see

Be kind, be humble, give a smile now and then
    you may just make someone's day..

Be the reason
  someone smiles today

Or the reason
  someone drinks.....

whatever works....

That moment before you kiss, your eyes meet, there is a pause, as you both inhale to savor the sweet essence of each other. As you both close your eyes, you feel the warmth as your lips touch. Slowly and more eagerly the kiss becomes. Deeper and deeper, and as you pull away, your eyes meet again, to pause once more and inhale each other again....

Even though we have never met, I fell in love with who you are. The reason I want you has nothing to do with your looks. It never did. You showed me I was worth loving when I couldn't love myself. You constantly give knowing it may not be returned. You're the kind of woman I want to spend my time with. I so wish the stars would align...

A spark can easily turn into a flame when it is fueled. That's how love is. It starts as a spark... a connection... it's easy to see. But in order for it to keep burning, you have to give it time and attention. We have an undeniable connection. It's what we do with it that will make or break us.
