27

Today is my birthday and I do feel older. 

Sometimes I feel like my life experiences equal to that of a 40 year old woman. 

I hope that I can walk into the next season of my life with more wisdom and a grateful heart. 

Crossing my fingers for many more years,

Word

(picture of my nephew and I taken a few years ago)

I wonder if moms & dads realize how lucky they are even with their sleepless nights 

and busy calendars. 

The opportunity to raise a person, there is nothing greater. 

a kind brain

This afternoon, I'm thinking a little more about this reminder on my fridge. 

I don't want to waste my years on earth.

Oh to live a life of intention. 

To live every minute with my brain alive and to overflow kindness and tactfulness.

black & white

My favorite color is grey.
The neutrality of it calms me. If something is black or white, it usually turns me off.

I am not a fan of extremes.politics, religion, weather, opinions.

This morning I was faced with an issue that was clearly black or white.

I prepared myself mentally. I spoke out.
I still spoke with a grey tone. Perfect. and I survived.

5:27 trash snow

I've been waking up earlier this week. It's not intentional, but I'm not complaining.
I love the snow before my drive into work.
I love having enough time to buy my coworkers donuts. Myself coffee.
I love love. And I want it.
Oh and it's trash day. That means it's almost Friday.

lucid dreaming

I was talking to someone recently about the idea of lucid dreaming.

While dreaming, you recognize you are in a dream, then control the dream.

tip: think about what you want to dream about. If you are easily influenced by anything you watch or think about before bedtime, this is not a hard one. 

Before I fell asleep last night, I thought of a person I wanted to show up in my dream. No reason behind who I chose, just picked someone I don't think about often.

It worked. I totally had a dream about this kind soul being mean. That was not part of the plan. Maybe I should throw in a couple things about them being polite. 

another tip: do reality checks in real life so you may do them in your dream out of habit. If you are dreaming, things should be a little different. 

Lucid dreaming is fascinating to me. I think it is because I love psychology. I love dreams. I love control. Most importantly: I really want to fly. If you say you don't, you are lying or already Superman. In which case, I am jealous. Please take me out of these isolated cornfields for a ride. 

How much more awesome is it that we have the ability to somewhat control reality itself? We can do reality checks through out the day: am I living? Am I on autopilot or am I being fully me? If you don't like something, change it.We only live one time. One time! It can be taken away at any moment. Then what? That was our only shot at living life and making choices. 

Live today beautifully you. Take your fears head on or outsource the job. Just destroy them. 

Call on all your own superpowers. Radiate truth and peace.

Be the love you wish to see. 

Make Adventures,
