“3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ….into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.”
Amazing.
Live an Extraordinary Life
Take time to smell the roses.
Take a nap on Sunday afternoon
Trust in God but lock your car
Never deprive anyone of hope. It might be all they have.
Eat inspiring food.
Be thankful for every meal.
Don’t take good health for granted.
Enjoy your job and you’ll never work another day in your life.
Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
Judge your success by the degree to which you are enjoying peace, health and love.
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Be generous.
Be honest.
Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you.
Be gentle with the earth, others and yourself.
Don’t be an ” a-dull-t”. Allow your child to come out and play.
Don’t nag.
Don’t gossip.
Say thank you a lot
Say please a lot.
Think of the most difficult people you know… and learn to love them.
Don’t postpone JOY. There is no time like the present to be JOYOUS.
Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every part of your life.
Never give up on anyone. Miracles happen everyday.
Remember the two things that people cannot take away from you:
your dignity.
your birthdate.
Laugh your head off.
Do more than is expected. and do it cheerfully.
Live life with passion and give others the permission to do the same.
Wake up every morning and say “I am so happy to be alive!” (even on Mondays)
Learn to put love into everything you do.
take care of your soul.
remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission.
Embrace all your feelings. But choose what to do with them.

( thank God it’s TODAY!)
Some people are just awesome. Remember that guy that found a roll of film in the NY blizzard? He found the owner of the film. Just, wow. You have to watch this.
“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”
“Pete Eckert is a totally blind person. But through his photography, he proves that he IS a visual person, he just can’t see.”
amazing.

Dear Santa,
If I promise to behave this year, would you please give me her talent?
Love, Me.
Happy Monday!
“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
-Marjorie Pay Hinckley, 1911-2004 (American Mother, Grandmother and Author)
Wishing you a BEAUTIFUL week!
Love, Me <3
what inspired me this week:
This quote from Jason Mraz:
“Another year is fast approaching. Go be that starving artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world.”
This 28 Day Chalenge.
