As I begin the year of my 30th one here on earth I've been spending more and more time thinking. Thinking about the serious stuff like the meaning of life.... sustaining joy and love... fitting into size 10 jeans... strategizing my kidnap of Dave and how to get Chihuahuas to stop barking at a mailman.
In my mental travels I've decided upon some things that have become or need to become priorities of mine (like the size 10 jean thing). I'm settling into the decision that the best way for materialize my thoughts is to share them with you. To open myself and to failure and success and love and ego reducing sharing.
I think sometimes we're so afraid of judgement that we limit ourselves to the safety of things we're familiar with. But that so far has left me feeling well, just limited. And as the hours and days fly by faster and faster it's becoming blazingly apparent to me that life is too short. Certainly too short for hatred and anger but more importantly, too short not to be outrageous and a source of light for those who only see darkness.
My light screams to me sometimes when I see people stuck in a negative rut, but I'm realizing that isn't my light screaming, it's my ego. Instead of doing the judging I fear so steeply, I need to "Become the change I want to see in the world." Change the batteries in my light so that it can help light the path for someone else.
And here it is. Here is the plan. Get ready. Got a pen? You're going to want to write this down.
I'm going to love. I'm going to look at everyone that makes me want to cringe or snap or shout or rage or cry or anything other than love and I'm going to take the time to realize that the same energy that made me made them. I'm going to take the time to realize that all anyone wants or acts for is that same love. The overwhelming love I feel when I listen to Dave or swaddle Lilly like a baby and force her to look me in the eye while I sing True Colors to her. The love I feel when my husband makes me laugh or hugs me with arms that make me disappear. The love I feel for my families and the laughter we share.
I'm going to appreciate. I'm going to appreciate every moment, every storm, every smile, every blessed sip of life I'm lucky enough to partake in.
I'm going to share. Share my joy and love, my good my bad and treat everyone how I want to be treated. No matter how annoying they are.
I'm going to update my blog regularly. Weekly, daily if I get a hair up my ass.
I'm ready for change, I'm ready for limitless living and I'm ready to have an audience.
Will you try with me?
There's a poll on the top right!
