Inspiration.

I recently received a special little book from a special little someone & I HAD to share about it: The Meaning of Life by Bradley Trevor Greive. It's a little book crammed full of big inspiration. There was so much in it that just sparked a fire in my spirit. (Thanks, Lydia.)
Here is one of my favorite bits from the book. (It was VERY hard choosing just one!):

"When you get the most out of your life, savoring every last drop, it will transform everything about you from ordinary to extraordinary. When you do what you love...you will be filled with a heartfelt joy that is highly contagious."

I don't like to talk TOO much about the personal, private adventures I take in life. But at a time when my family is going through a very real (almost surreal) & emotional journey with my dad's cancer, it makes my heart do something equivalent to the boogie dance to know that I am surrounded by generous souls.
I've been spending a lot of time assessing & sorting & prioritizing. I'm sure that's normal when you've had such a grand event suddenly consume your world.
And after accepting the role I've been given, I've decided that I'm ready to take risks & live big. I will try not to let a day escape me where I have not acknowledged that I am blessed. I will pursue the things I love & let the leftovers become roadkill. My joy will never be accused of being artificial.
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow!
