"The American Dream"

With a week that started off with a deep sense of patriotism blanketed by gratitude and remembrance, I feel fortunate.  I feel fortunate to have been born in this beautiful country...The United States of America.  So many opportunities, so many possibilities, so many freedoms, so much to offer.  Have I really experienced all that this beautiful country represents? Have I really looked around at my freedom to choose and appreciate all the choices?

"What choices would you make if you were guaranteed your outcome?"

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in making new landscapes but in having new eyes."

"Committed"

Recently I have been giving a lot thought to the concept of being "committed."  In thinking about the literal translation of commitment which means a promise or a pledge I have been rethinking my life.  Goals are very important to me but the real change will occur when I mentally and physically commit.   To be committed you will experience transformation.  The goal is what you strive for,  the commitment is the change.  If one wants to be in shape they have to commit to a healthy active lifestyle; they want to be debt free they commit to not spending with the goal being debt free. 

"What are you committed to?"

"Our Internal Art"

Created from an open shutter,  a sparkler, and a child's erratic movements... a beautiful flash of art never to be duplicated.

"Should your natural internal piece of art shine, what would it look like?"

Within us all, lays our true passion, our longing for purpose, and a desire to find it, begin the work and your art will shine.
