A Personal Message and Inspiration for 2011
Have you ever felt like you belonged on the "island of misfit toys"? Well, I have... I was at dinner last night with two great friends, and they were telling me about the high-school reunion that I recently missed. The truth is, I actually went to one school from 1st-9th, another for 10th and 11th, and we moved to a different city for my Senior year, thus a third school. So, which school class reunion am I supposed to attend? If you have really read this far, I promise there is a point to my story.
For a brief moment at dinner last night, I did feel sorry for myself, feeling like I did not belong to one certain group. Then, I snapped out of it. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for all of my friends and experiences I have encountered along the way. But, I am a firm believer of living in the present. I am 43 years old, and last year I would have told you that 2009 was the best year of my life. However, now that we have come to the end of 2010, I would say that this year has been even better.
So to all of you ~ If you are not doing what you love, change your ways.
If there is a hobby you want to try ~ try it!
Dream...
Imagine...
Believe in Yourself
Cherish your family and friends
Live, Laugh, and most certainly Love
Here is to being grateful for our past, and looking ahead to 2011!
I hope you will join me here each and every day on Bright Bold and Beautiful.

Monday Inspiration
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive
- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
Marcus Aurelius
I often get caught up in the daily routine and what I am working to achieve, that I have to stop and appreciate what I already have. Happy Monday to you!!

A Single Rose and Tip of the Day
There is so much inspiration and beauty to be found in a single rose in the sunlight.
Hope you are having a bright bold and beautiful {almost Autumn} day...
Tip of the day: "Stop feeding and pruning your roses around the end of August to discourage new growth that will suffer from Winter damage. Leave the last of the flowers on, to turn into hips. The hips are the roses seed pods. By producing seed pods, the rose bush thinks it's done for the season and can start to go dormant." source
