Every morning when you wake, you have a choice to make, choose to be happy. Happy truly is a choice… in life, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Even during the hardest of times we can choose to look at the positives that come with every situation, or at least believe that something positive will come even if you don’t know what it is at that moment. We all get sad, or have hard days, but we don’t have to live there. Today, choose to see the beauty in tough situations, remember those we have lost fondly, focus on the positive, be grateful for all we have, remember those who love us, be kind to everyone but most of all choose happiness, choose life and always choose love.

Dedicated to my friend who lost her beautiful daughter… your in our thoughts and prayers.

OK so last night I went out grocery shopping… while walking through the store, I thought my shoes felt a little funny. When I looked down, I realized that in the dark of my room, I had put on 2 different shoes. This was a wonderful opportunity to laugh at myself! Some people might have been embarrassed and made the choice to leave the store, but I decided to own it and proudly walk through the store like it was no big deal. The truth is… it really was no big deal. I got such a laugh out of it though… so if you can imagine, the crazy lady walking around the grocery store with 2 odd shoes on and laughing my head off! Don’t be so hard on yourself… laugh at yourself and live An Inspired Life!

The picture above are some of my son Harry’s drawings. He is a 12 year old art prodigy who has clients all over the country. Though he is naturally talented, he attributes his skill to “practice.” As I tell my friends, clients, students and my kids… practice makes perfect. Whenever I hear someone say “I’m not good at that,” I simply remind them that they just haven’t practiced enough yet. If something is truly important enough to you… guitar, music, art, juggling, double dutch or whatever it might be… love it enough to practice and get good at it.

Practice really does increase your ability and it makes for a truly Inspired Life!

I love Sunday mornings! This Sunday morning, have coffee and a rousing conversation with someone special. I love sitting and sipping tea (or coffee) and sharing stories of yesteryear and the kids love to hear the stories too! Talking about life and current events while having coffee hour is definitely part of An Inspired Life!
