How many times have you let "signs" just pass you by?  Sometimes they can be right in front of your eyes and you still miss it. Why does this happen?  Lack of trusting your own intuition...that's the answer.   Only you see the world the way you do.  Only you can be responsible for what you put into it.  Learning to trust your inner wisdom is key to moving your external life forward. All that you need to know is found from within. You bring into your life what your mind believes. Put away your thoughts of hesitation and doubt.  Find the signs that will move you forward.  The gage towards knowing comes with feelings of complete clarity, all of the sudden your world feels lighter and brighter and you know without doubt it is the right step to take.  Move towards "doing it" with a sense of peace and joy.  Also, look for the subtle signs in life.  Not always will your signs be glowing bright beacons of certainty.  Sometimes you have to take take a chance, learning to trust your own intuition when the signs are not externally bright.  I don't believe your inner wisdom will ever steer you wrong;  I believe you need to develop a trusting relationship with it and together see the world in your own unique way finding peace and joy with each new discovery (sign) that moves you forward!  ENJOY!

There's a train a-coming

Stampedes in Cambodia, bombs going off in South Korea, words of hate for someone struggling this is all that I have been greeted with this morning as I read the daily headlines.

People get ready

Be Calm In Your Heart...

 As the news headline today reads..."Al-Qaeda vows to continue parcel bomb attacks"

The Yemen-based branch of Al-Qaeda has vowed further small but frequent attacks against the West such as last month's cargo plane parcel bombs, in a "strategy of a thousand cuts" that will "bleed the enemy to death", a monitoring group said.

"We will continue with similar operations and we do not mind at all in this stage if they are intercepted. It is such a good bargain for us to spread fear amongst the enemy and keep him on his toes in exchange of a few months of work and a few thousand bucks."

Never did I imagine when I woke up today, that I was an enemy to anyone. But in light of this news headline I have to now take it serious that the possibility exists... I am an enemy of some culture somewhere across the globe.  And so I will acknowledge this possibility as I continue on my journey to bring positive energy and light to others. This bit of news actually encourages me and renews my effort to  live my life...unafraid.  I will create my own reality and grow circles of enlightment larger than I ever imagined.  How will this be accomplished?  By continuing to just "be".  Everything is as it should be right now.  Believe this in your life. And if everything around you should all of a sudden be different, know your purpose and live without fear.  Find calm in your heart, embrace your own space and keep on .... keeping on!

Is This You At 2pm?

Do you need fueled by coffee to get thru your day?  Can you go without your morning cup of brew?  Can you make it thru the day without a sip? Do you know why your energy is drained?  Often times it is because you are not putting into your day what matters most to you. Your spiritual energy is lagging because you keep straying from your path, letting every distraction get in the way.  And then there is your physical energy. The bottom line being your are not living life with balance... knowing when to push and when you need to wait.

So what is the solution?  Well, we all need to create a positive support environment.  Concentrate on your inner compass and do the following simple steps...

Rest - Try To Get 6 Hours Solid Sleep

     Stop drinking caffeine 3 hours before

     Stop eating 2 hours before

     Stop exercising 1 hour before

     Sooth yourself with meditation, reading etc... 30 min before

Eat - Stop dieting and listen to your body 

     Vary your food 

     Eat in moderation

     Drink water often

Be Realistic - Give yourself time and space to create at a realistic pace.

Find balance between the structure and flow of life.

Move and Move On -  Move your body with dance; walking etc..

                                 Stop Worrying... Let Go...

So I hope you take some time to go over these ideas and remember:

"Energy Is Endless When You Go With The Flow"   

ENJOY! 

Own It In Your Head First...I Am Worthy!

Isn't it exciting to realize... you can say, do, and be whatever you want?  If that doesn't make you want to get up and start your day, I don't know what else will. I'm going to start again...

SAY...DO...BE  whatever you want!  Wow... that's a powerful thought.  So what stops us from saying, doing or being?   Ourselves...that's what.  Do you know why?  Because you have to own it in your head first... "I Am Worthy" to make it happen.  You can't just change your path without having the believe from within that you can!  You have to own it first before it becomes your reality. For example... all the exercise in the world isn't going to change my body without owning it in my head first that I can change my physical being.  Because unless I believe from within that I can do it, there will be a million excuses why I won't get it done.  Wow... this is certainly an area I need to work on!  I AM WORTHY!  Once I realize this in my head, I believe the sky is the limit.  So as you move about your daily life, approach every circumstance with the realization of yourself...   "I AM WORTHY"  Think it, Live it and then watch as you SAY, DO and BE whatever your heart desires.  ENJOY!

Answers  Are Found In Every Moment Of Every Day 

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends... and today I want to take you on a journey of possibilities. Do you know the universe gives you signs everyday about your life and the answers to your questions are there for your taking?  No?  Well...that's what happens when you don't allow yourself to be aware of everything around you.  Wake up and be aware of your surroundings and I guarantee your questions are being answered... you just need to listen to everything that goes on around you to receive the message.

I have to tell you about a wonderful experience.  I have a character that I like to do; it is an old woman character that I have performed many times over the years; seems to be my alter ego :)  When I am in character; I can ad lib my way around a roomful of people and make them laugh out loud.  I had the pleasure of doing this over the weekend as I was the head librarian in a funny murder mystery fundraiser at a local library. I did it... I made both the young and old laugh and it gives me great joy.  Laughter to me is the greatest of compliments and I overheard comments throughout the night on being a natural talent, that I should take the character and create a one-woman show etc... all of this within earshot (and yes I get embarassed by this)  The next day I thought about this again and I realized I have been doing this character since I created a commercial for a school project back in 5th grade. For years I have made audiences laugh at this character over and over again.  Just how many times does the universe have to hit you over the head before you finally get it?  As I would hear Austin Powers say it...  "comedy is my thing... my mojo baby"  I think I need to create this one-woman show.  And so this is my message to you... if you find yourself getting frustrated because you THINK you don't know where to go with your life... become AWARE of everything because the answers are not far from your reach, you just have to receive the messages.  ENJOY!

Use The Key Of Enlightment To Open Up Your Life

Letting go of past thoughts and emotions is a very challenging effort.  But in order to move forward in life, you must at times go back and heal your past.  I never realized how difficult this is often choosing to always look forward and making the decision to never go back.  Usually, it does become necessary to go to a place of discomfort to find renewed growth.  I certainly have experienced this with the passing of my father-in law.  I am no longer married into that family but I have never stopped caring for them.  And so when he passed, I have experienced a surge of emotions I didn't realize I was still so passionate about.  Family separations are always difficult and when divorce happens you just don't know how you fit in any longer.  It was always my intention to grow the family circles larger and have everyone in them happier.  This is necessary for me  to believe in because I have 2 sons so the family bond for them is there and so it is then always there for me.

 I have done alot of healing this week as I have slowly let go of the past and I can now see them all in the present.  It has been an enlightening experience and I feel I have grown once again by leaps and bounds.  So if you find yourself in a similar situation where you separate and there are children involved, always think of your children first and find a way to keep a sense of "family" moving forward. Expand your love circles and don't let hurt and anger damage your life which will actually keep you from moving forward.  So unlock your past with keys of enlightment and move forward with a clear mind and as always live within the warm rays of positive energy and light!

Well Today Dear...It's All About Me!

With no selfish intent, I try to do the right things.  I try to be there for everyone all the time.  I put myself in situations that are very uncomfortable trying  to take the higher road.  I often choose my words carefully trying not to rock any boats and I find myself saying "I'm sorry" for this and that just because I don't want to intrude on anyone.

Well... with recent events and with the flurry of negative energy I've been feeling lately...I have decided to take some time to rejuvinate my own positive energy and light... to go within and find my inner peace and direction once again.  I have to realize I can't be everything to everyone all of the time.  And if I don't feel like doing something, I don't have to  and along with that decision, I will need to release worrying about what others might think.  Maybe it's time to rock the boat a little....maybe even tip the boat over going against what everyone else expects you to do and while you are at it...rise above the fear and worry of what others might think of your choices.  Take the time to go on a journey within and find once again that "magnificent you" !  ENJOY!

Experience Your Own Backyard (or near it) !

I have to talk about the last two days.  I had to go into Pittsburgh for a seminar.  I am not a pro at driving in the city. Anyone familiar with this city knows the streets are inner-looping, over-lapping and by landscape has to be entered by a tunnel or bridge.  So, until you cross over the bridges or go thru the tunnels, getting into Pittsburgh during rush hour is challenging to say the least.  But also, once you are in the city... all of a sudden the massive traffic just fades away and then you are challenged with with streets not exactly running parallel but are actually in somewhat of a triangle formation.  Good luck with that!  :)  But the thing is...  I did get by, finding a parking space, finding the hotel, finding my way out of town!  And I have to say... what a wonderful couple of days.  Not only did I meet the challenge of driving around in this city during it's busiest times, I learned to be less intimidated by it all, realizing everyone in every car was just trying to get around like I was.  My excitement grew as I walked down the streets looking up at the tall buildings; passing by people on the street, the city bustling as they say.  And then the seminar... I found myself making new friends; even talked outside of the seminar topics and one really nice girl gave me her card in case I traveled to Georgia someday as I expressed my love of lighthouses and she was telling me about the one's in her state.  Those who know me personally...know I am not shy sometimes I get nervous in situations...but not here.  I talked in class, I talked during lunch, I stood up to a not very nice person working in the parking garage... all of it invigorating.  So here is my message to you as we enter into another weekend.  Get up, Get out, Get going in your own life!  Find what inspires you, Find what bring you to the point of joy in life!  You'll be surprised, it can be in and around your own backyard.  I am looking forward to going back to the city more often; I feel there are alot of adventures there  waiting for me and it is only an hour from my home. So push beyond your fears and ENJOY a great, big, beautiful life!

You Don't Tug On Superman's Cape

The chorus To This Jim Croce Song Is...

"You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim"

Just in case you were wondering where I got today's thought from... well again it is another lyric in a song. 

And now a quote about each of these characters...

"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" ~ Superman

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi-yo Silver" - the Lone Ranger

Ok, I'm bringing back the era of American superhero's ...why?  I don't know it's election day and I just felt like bringing back an era, a simpler time that seemed less complicated than it is today.  The second reason?  I want to talk a little today about holding your own ground!  There is so much global activity going on and sometimes it all seems overwhelming and gives a sense of "what can I do about it?" And often, people are left feeling overwhelmed and frightened.  I saw very captivating information this week and if you take in these words, the rest seems.... well a little less overwhelming. Be the master of your own domain.  Or put in simpler terms concentrate your positive energy and light beneath the earth around your own feet!  Focus your personal power on the environment around you and you can positively project change from your own center....outward!  Now if everyone chose to do the same, the world would be a much better place.  Rome wasn't built in a day... and yes it did come crashing down... much like what I see going on today. 

But if YOU choose to live your life with good intentions, concentrate on what you want to bring into your own world, show appreciation for what you already have and for this beautiful earth, along with turning away from all the negative influences that surround us....yes, you CAN move your life towards positive change.  Now that was a great, big run on sentence wasn't it! ENJOY!

...And You Give And You Give And You Give Yourself Away?

Well this thought started with a U2 song with the lyric, "and you give and you give and you give yourself away with or without you" and so I thought how often do we just "give ourselves away" our thoughts, our energy, our time getting pulled from one direction to another allowing ourselves to just be given away to accomodate everyone elses journey.  This weekend I want you to concentrate on yourself and that's where basic steps of yoga come into play.  Three simple stages that I want you to practice allowing yourself time to focus and center your energy back onto your own path.  What are these steps?  Center, Observe, Release!

That's it....thank you and good night!  Just teasing.... now let's begin!  

Center -  Center your thoughts and you will experience a keen awareness as it quiets your mind.  Focus on your own peace of mind and wellness.

Observe-  Your path.  How do you spend your time and energy? Are you giving it all away?  Think about how you spend your time.  You can never say you don't have time... oh you have it alright; it's how you choose to spend it that makes the difference.  Put into your day what you want to get out of it.

Release - Positively release your actions, accept what you've done, show gratitude and reinforce the value of your own self-worth.  Be you.... always.

And so in conclusion, never would I say to you don't help another person.  That's the furthest thing I would ever tell anyone.  But what I am trying to say is, during your very busy life, remember to make time for yourself to "center, observe and release", so you can stay focused with your time and energy.  Develop a life flow that keeps you moving forward with positive energy and light.  ENJOY!

If You Are Looking To Be Perfect...Be Exactly Who You Are!

Feel the joy of knowing there is no one else in the world exactly like you! Now if that isn't the making of something spectacular, I don't know what is.  You already have the roadmap within you to become exactly what you want to be. Life should be filled with excited anticipation of knowing who you are as you move down your own unique path.  Too often though we allow others to move us away from our intended path. Too often we worry about what others think and avoid staying true to "self".  BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE if you want to seek perfection, because being you is "GREAT"!  What a boring world this would be if we were all like minded.  Enjoy your unique perspective, feel free to express yourself as the saying goes "those that mind...don't matter....those that matter....don't mind". Celebrate the joy of knowing who you are! Can I hear a great big "WOO HOO"!  Have a blessed day!

Is Your Mind Disconnected From Your Reality?

 Be mentally present at all times.  Have you ever driven your car, reached your destination and not remember the details of driving there?  That's a scary place to be!   You were driving on auto-pilot and your mind was somewhere else!  This can happen so easily in our lives when we choose to fill our minds to capacity and never really live in the moment.  I am certainly one to talk about this.  WIth so many agendas in my mind it is difficult to focus and be mentally present in the moment. I am working on this as the theme in my writings this week is definitely leaning towards being "focused".  When you are focused in life, your purpose becomes clearer and clearer.  For me, no doubt in my mind I am getting up at 5am to write you because these are moments of clarity for me and if one person uses these words to better their day, my positive energy and light fills to capacity.  I am extremely focused and in the moment when I write these thoughts.  I am using this time now to gage my day. I will make the choice not to reach out aimlessly towards it or move in a thousand directions that exhaust me! NOW I will identify my path for the day and prepare to be mentally present throughout the journey. And at the end of the day I will smile knowing it was time well spent!  So as you enter into daily life, remember to stay focused, reach your destinations with clarity and live a great, big, beautiful life.  ENJOY!

Your Focus Should Be As Clear As A Single Drop Of Water! 

Today I want to talk about our thoughts.  Do you know you can only act on one thought at a time?  Put into motion today what is most important.  Put into motion today what brings you positive energy and light.  Put into motion today the act of living.  Take away actions that lead you down the path to...nowhere.  For example.  How much time do you spend watching television?  How much time do your children play video games? What I am really asking you is what are you spending your precious time on?  If you are spending your time watching the reality of everyone's lives, you can't be concentrating on your own life.  If you go into the world of video games, you can't be concentrating on where your own life is heading.  Social media elements are certainly not brimming over with positivity.  TV, Movies, Games.... many of these outlets take on a twisted filled with negativity spin on today's world and that can't be good.  Another problem with our society, we are a "day planner" society.  For some reason we need to see all the things we need to accomplish written down somewhere.  This can be an overwhelming situation when there  are "to do" lists that extend on for months and months and months.  Take a big step back and focus on one thought at a time.  Take action on that thought in the light of positive energy.  Feel accomplished once the task is finished.  Look forward to the next single thought and keep on keeping on.   Based on my thought from yesterday, I am starting to practice what I preach!  What enlightening moments I am beginning to feel when I stop, think and do...one thing at a time.  It fills me with a tremendous sense of peace and I appreciate this new sense of calm!  ENJOY...and slow down when you are moving too fast!  Focus like a single clear drop of water! :)

In Other Words, Do You Practice What You Preach?

Often times, it is alot easier to give advice than to live it. "Why" you ask?  Because it often seems easier to see greatness in others and not see it in your own reflection.  "Why" you ask?  Because often we allow fear and doubt to get in the way as we move on our path and we begin to run in circles instead of moving forward.  So, what can be done to break the cycle?  Acts of kindness!  Be kind to others and to yourself. Send out to the universe beams of positive energy and light.  Send out to your family and friends beams of positive energy and light thru acts of kindness. And in return, kindness will be sent your way.  And when you receive acts of kindness, your positive energy tank fills up and you reach a heightened state of confidence and the ability to overcome worry and doubt.  So when you reach moments in your life where you find it a little more difficult to walk the talk, show kindness and the light to others and you will find "kindness" returned back to you and this will help you regain confidence in your life and once again you will be able to walk the talk!  You know it's "The Secret"  :)  sending out to the Universe what you want in return.  I enjoy writing these thoughts.  And I am filled with unbelievable excitement when someone tells me they put these words into action.  I concentrate on extending "kindness" everyday and I am amazed at what is returned back to me.  Walk The Talk And Enjoy!

Saying...  Day O DaaaaaY O Daylight Come And Me Wan' Go Home

Ok...ok...I like to start my thoughts with uncommon titles.  So what the heck is this all about?  Well, sometimes you have to go thru periods of life that get a little challenging.  For the past 2 weeks I have been dealing with major dental woes.  You have heard of the "runaway bride"?  Well, I am the "runaway dental patient" having flee 2 dentists recently.  Yesterday, I was about to "flee" again after a root canal had to be stopped 1/2 way because oh NOW the dentist decided I need to go to an oral surgeon :).  Knowing my fleeing pattern, the dentist who really is a very funny man said "please don't leave me, I promise this will be ok".  At first I thought this was a scene from "The Runaway Bride" where I was playing the part of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere was being played by the dentist, because I really was going to forget the whole thing and get this tooth pulled.  But I have to say this morning...I am really seeing this is going to be ok and yes I am in much less pain and yes I will continue on and now his comments just made me smile!  The point to all of this is...yes, sometimes we all have challenging moments in our life. But instead of putting ourselves into a box and not letting in the light of day, we need to pass thru these experiences and remember the plan... To celebrate and live your life saying...DAYO! Ok maybe not this catchy phrase...but take in the feelings expressed in the beautiful picture above, greet each morning and smile knowing anything is possible.

Celebrate And Live Your Life....ENJOY!

Don't Make Promises You Can Not Keep!

Today's topic is pretty straight forward.  It's about keeping promises we make...to others...to ourselves etc... etc... etc...  Now I am not suggesting we are making  "promises" in false context...meaning we are making promises with no intent to keep.  I am talking about never being able to say "no" and making promises to do WAY too many things within ourselves or commiting to others.  The feeling you get when you overcommit and you get to the point you don't know if you are coming or going.  Sometimes messages are presented to you at exactly the right moment.  A friend who is a holistic chiropractor was adjusting my younger son and spoke words that rang thru to me like a bell!  He told my son to remember you can only take on one thing at a time.  Make it count!  Whew.... that sent an instant message to my inner self reminding me how much I overextend because I have a very hard time saying "no".  It hit home as I realize how much I allow people and places to consume my mind therefore I am not making progress on moving forward with my dreams.  So I am going take the advice and remember to take on one thing at a time.  And I will also remember in order to keep the promises I make, I need to extend them.... yes you got it...

one at a time!  ENJOY!

Now That's What I'm Talking About!

There is nothing I love seeing more than an older person living the dream.  Mr. BB KIng in his 80's and still performing on stage.  That is the face of a happy man...doing his thing...letting the good times roll.  Nothing annoys me more than someone who claims they are too old to start something new.  You should always believe anything is possible.  Once you have this mindset it can become your reality no matter how old you are.  

So in conclusion I can't say it any better than Louis Jordan...

 Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so

Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Answers...Are Waiting In The Wings  

Do you realize all there is to know about your life lies within?  You are already a self-contained library of knowledge ready and willing to take part in a great big beautiful life?  So what's stopping you?  STUFF!

Stuff we talked about yesterday...fear, doubt, worry to start.  Then if you choose to look externally instead of internally for answers...that may hold you back as well.  There are alot out there who don't want you to succeed.  WHY?  Because their life energy is scattered  or negative and so they look to scatter others and to fuel their negative energy so the habit of their eyes becomes the habits of others and somehow they find a false sense of security with this pattern.  If you can see the silver-lining in a cloudy day... then run with it!  All you need to live with positive energy and light....all you need to live a great, big, beautiful life is to stop, listen and act upon your own intuition.  If you open yourself up to the endless possibilities that are waiting in the wings for you... all I can say is WOW!  And that WOW comes with a smile on my face.  Today, I am going to continue seeking answers to my journey that are waiting in the wings for me.  ENJOY!

Be Free Of Fear...Release The Binds That Hold You Back!

This is really a work in progress for me.  But imagine the endless possibilities you can achieve if you allow yourself to be free from worry and doubt.  Releasing yourself from these elements sets you free.  Releasing yourself, facing your fears, ending doubt will move you down the path of positive energy and light.  So how do we go about accomplishing this task?  First, you need to find out what your fears are.  Are you afraid to move forward?  Are you afraid to fail? Are you afraid of what others may think?  Are you afraid of the unknown?  Are you afraid for others?  Are you afraid of growing old?  Are you afraid of your own vulnerabilities?  Are you afraid of death?  Are you afraid of living?  Do you fear going beyond your comfort zone?  Are you afraid of change?  And the list can go on and on and on!  Being afraid keep you in shackles!  Being afraid limits possibilities.  Being afraid is often the result of misunderstandings, thoughts that are not realistic, in other words just a whole lot of mis-guided “what if’s”!  So what are you going to do about it?   Well, take the road I am going on… find your courage, don’t underestimate your potential, tackle your fears in stages and release…release…release them all!  Once you break the patterns, you are free to walk on the path of your intended journey and you can live within the comfort of positive energy and light.  Be free my friends and ENJOY!

And A TIme For Every Purpose Under Heaven, Here On Earth!

 So how do I begin this Monday morning?  Well I think it will be about time, how we perceive the passing of time and what we do with our time.  This is a very busy time of year with lots of changes happening.  Changing schedules with kids going back to school.  Changing weather as the warmth of summer fades away into cooler, brisk air and stunning fall foilage replaces green trees with brilliant orange, red and yellow.  Change in attitudes for some fall is another beginning where their mood rises with excited anticipation.  For others fall brings on thoughts of winter and their mood goes down.  So as you can see this is a very active time of year to anticipate how you will spend your time.  For me, I have been off work since last Thursday, vacation time, WOO HOO how will I spend my time?  Well originally I was heading to a beach on the east coast, but plans changed as they often do so I needed a plan B. And so I planned.  Now on Thursday morning I was greeted with pounding rain... all day.  For some this would have dampened their spirit.  For me...well I choose how I will spend my time and I decided to have a great day with the rain and I did.  I opened my eyes to all possibilites and proceeded to enjoy each and every activity as I was singing in the rain.  The weather was up and down all weekend.  During the up time I appreciated the cooler air and the beautiful changing scenery.  During the down times I concentrated my efforts on the company I was keeping and going to places I don't often get to during the regular work week. All in all...it was a GREAT vacation and I enjoyed it in my own way.  For every season, there is a reason under the Heavens, here on Earth.  Find your moments of peace and joy.  Appreciate the changing of seasons.  Enjoy all aspects of life both externally and internally.  What you see depends on the habits of your eyes.  If you see a beautiful day within the silver lining of the clouds and hear the rhythm of the falling rain, you will have a great, big, beautiful day!  It's your time and energy.  See it in the view of positive light.  ENJOY!

I am confused by those who can't move forward in life when life takes a different direction.  Instead they have to make up their own versions of distorted lies about the direction change and that can be rather annoying.  People who know this type of individual know and expect these reactions. When you choose to go down this negative path you have to realize you will be questioned whether you ever tell the truth. I guess this type of person never heard the story about the boy who cried "WOLF"!  :)  I guess they get so caught up in their own lies, I believe they begin to live by them.   I offer compassion and a wonderful quote to those individuals who struggle with the truth.  "Let peace be in your sight and in your seeing"  Whew...  those who live with lies need to hear that quote because until they are able to live in truth, they will never know peace because the charades will have to continue and then they will have to  remember which lie was told to which person and exactly what was said and what story will they make up next to keep the lies going.  Sounds like alot of needless bullshit in my world and lies certainly take alot of energy and none of it moves down the path of positive energy and light.  Release and move on from from these very negative scenarios because everyone else will once it is decided you can no longer be trusted.

This Is The "Big Band" I Was Thinking About! :) 

 Thoughts are in the eyes of the beholder!  All of us will see things based on the habit of our eyes.  To many the term "big band" makes you think about the big bands like the Glen Miller Orchestra.  Imagine the surprise when this page reflects my idea of a "big band". My idea is different  because as I get older, I keep having thoughts of performing with a live band and I am 51.  I love these folks above you know why?  Because they live in harmony with their inner child. They don't allow "age" to hinder their dreams.  They don't worry about what everyone else thinks.  They are living in the moment, true to their passions.  God bless them...everyone!  So if you are holding back from your passions in life, if you are not allowing your inner child to play once in awhile, you are missing out on big things in life!  Because it is the anticipated excitement of knowing your dreams and following them that makes this world go round and round!  So no matter your age, you never miss the boat, you just need to board it and move towards your dreams and passions in life.  ENJOY!
