She's back.

I love to reflect back on where I have come. To see how much we have grown & changed. To see how much more light we put out into the world. To see how our spirits have been awakened & are ready for our calling! 

My last post was January of 2016. I am reclaiming this space as a place for me.
A place to share my inner most thoughts. 
A place to share my triumphs and failures. 
A place to share my worries and fears. 
A place to share my inspiration and motivation. 
A place to share smiles and tears. 
A place to share my story to help others. 
A place to cultivate empathy and love. 

With love & belief, 
A

And we're off!

A new year is a time for renewal. A fresh look on life. A self-awareness plan you get to adjust each year.
A year is just the compounded minutes and days, then weeks that make up your years.
How are you spending your minutes?
An even better question...how do you WANT spend your minutes?

I love the idea of a bucket list and spend your minutes on experiences rather than buying stuff.
We will all kick the bucket sooner or later (morbid, but it is true!)
You have to take your time on this earth seriously and shine to others who need some light.

Here's a notated list of my bucket list:
Go skiing
Skydive
Learn to crochet (this year)
Travel to all continents
Pay off all debt (2016, baby)
Share my story from a stage
Feed the homeless
Play instrument, maybe the drums
Have a few chitlins
Foster some chitlins
Get a dog!
Learn photography
Wear a bikini & be proud of my size
Cook well
Be a servant leader
Sailboating in a sea
Make piece of pottery
Muddy 4 wheeler ride
Make my own vino
Sea to table dinner
Stay on the beach in Rio
Grow a garden & can our own food
Earn a pink cadillac
Surf
Blogging (here we go :)
Learn to sew
Take my pops to Hawaii
Sing at church or in front of audience
Meet Darren Hardy
Bless tons of people
Grow leaders in my organization
Go on the Prize is Right!
Spend time in Cali (going next week)

The list keeps growing when you give yourself permission to dream. Have you given yourself that permission? God has such an amazing world out there just waiting for you!
But you have to take the first step. He will give you what you need, but you have to grab it from his hands.

What are some of your dreams??
