Smile...

Just needed a few things to make me smile : )

What do you call a fake noodle? an impasta

My dentist told me I need a crown. I was like I KNOW, RIGHT?

That awkward moment when you realize they weren't waving at you.

What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

Crazy...

"I'm the crazy aunt everyone warned you about!"

This is for all my nieces and nephew... but then again I'm sure they already know!

Here comes CRAZY!!!

Turtle Shell...

"Be Brave With Your Life"

It's so easy to let life happen and say "Oh I'll be brave next time." It takes a lot of bravery to be brave! There are days I feel just showing up is as brave as it gets, and then I try to push myself just the tinniest bit more. But there are times I retreat into the safety of my turtle shell until I can feel it is safe enough to come out. With each new experience maybe there will be a day when I stay out of my shell longer and longer.

Breakfast...

This morning I ate my breakfast outside before I went to work and it brought a smile to my face. The birds fluttered around, the sun was slowly beginning to raise, the bee's hummed, the tree's danced in the breeze... in that present moment "all was well!"

Kids...

Kids are the BEST! 

At my demo today, there were so many kids going by either singing, laughing, kissing their younger brother, giving a high five to their parent - lost in a world with no rules. No matter what I'm feeling, watching a child's untainted mind play out in a world where there are so many unspoken rules, always brings me to a "happy place!"

Haiku...

A blue bird flew by

a brief reminder to pause

and appreciate

Calm...

"It's okay to be happy with a calm life."

So much drama on the news, in our lives, it's easy to get caught up in it all. I find myself flipping channels sometimes on the TV and watching the news. WHY... I ask myself. I do it very rarely but it's funny how easy it is to get sucked in. But I like my relatively calm life and I'm happier with it that way.
