Then- I'll be off to buy dirt... And flowers... Can't wait!

I'm learning that I've got to put some legs under the idea of "really living my life so I don't fall back into the rut of the pseudo excitement of wine at nite". So, have been doing lots of thinking and planning regarding what that looks like ... For me... And how to get there.

A little trick I learned a while back... Wanted to share as it always helps get me out of a mental rut:

Imagine what you really want. No "holds bar". In fact, imagine that you have a magic wand that you can wave over your current situation to make it exactly what you would like- really like.

Got it?

Write that down- in detail. Remember- magic made it happen, so you don't need to worry about limitations.

Have you written it down, in detail?

Next, think of one, small thing that you can so today to move you just one step closer to that magic.

Got it?

I hope everyone takes at least one step closer to their dreams today. I know that I let life wear me out. I quit dreaming. But when we quit dreaming, we start dying.

Let's be dreamin' fools...
That is lovely Izzy. Thank you so much for your wisdom!
