Hi Sandi,
What a beautiful way to begin a new week! I love “shine so bright people stop in awe” and “give up your reasons” Awesome!
Lori
Thanks Lori! It bubbled out of me from I don’t know where 🙂
Now THIS is what I needed. I laughed with joy when I started reading! I can do this! What fun. Maybe tomorrow, too! Thank you Sandi! What a gift you gave to me. You don’t even know. When all I think about is “what more can I do?” I can start feeling like a drudge. Is that a word? It should be.
“express your longings”~ love that one!!
I had ‘feel like a drudge’ but it didn’t feel quite right 😉
What’s the opposite of that though? That? I’d probably add to the list!

Starting right this second. Wow.
You’re so coachable 😉
Sandi you’re amazing. I’m really enjoying these posts! Every time I read one I soften a little and attempt to be more kind. My day has already started and this reminded me to take all the next steps with love and kindness. I don’t know why but this post made me a little emotional.
:]
Dyamond,
This post made me cry as I was writing it so I’m not surprised that it’s rippling out.
xoS
Ohhhh *this* was the post that made you cry! I def see why! <3
Just for today, I will be happy.
Trust in what the future brings.
Just for today, I will lay down my worries
Open up my heart and sing..
Just for today
(Song and lyrics – Julie Blue)
Funny, I had this song running thru my head today. This was one of the Solo songs I had in Julie’s choir.
I think we are overdue for a cafe date.

Love it, and yes we are. Soon!

Sandi! Once again you write something that I must print out. This is going up somewhere I can see it everyday. Your awesomeness — I dig it.
Adding this to the list, “smile so big your cheeks hurt”

I really needed this today. Thank you.
This blog post is dripping with joi de vivre. Even @TheJackB was moved! Now that’s something!
Recently on my blog: Beautiful Things For The Asking! http://wp.me/pbg0R-sv
Thanks Stan! That could be my new fave comment, “Even @TheJackB:disqus was moved!” 😉
Hallelujah! Beautiful. I wish I had a printer so I could put this on my door.xx
Love the enthusiasm!!!

Sandi, I think youwrote the best description of what Zola meant. I’m printing it out too and hanging it on my inspiration board. Thank you.
Carol, I have always loved that quote and can still remember the first time I read that quote – sent shivers down my spine. Still does after all these years.
