I read this on Facebook yesterday and thought it more than worthy to share.

"There was a bartender in portland, and every time someone asked him how he was doing, he would say...'best day of my life'...hmmmm...i really like that...imagine if everyday was the best day of your life...

Why not make this day and every day the best day of your life? Don't just say it, believe it!

Relax deeply

Dream big
Believe with all your heart

To be rich in friends is to be poor in nothing. ~ Lilian Whitney

I am thankful for my friends today and everyday. I spent the day with a doing around Jacksonville yesterday with a loose plan. Lunch at one of the most fabulous places that I have been in a long time - The French Pantry. (a must for fantastic salads, breads and the desserts - wow!) and then to a movie that changed times on us. After learning the movie was a no go, we made the most of it and just walked in and out of shops in 5 Points. We poked our heads in a groovey vintage consignment shops, sat and watched a afternoon shower pass. It was nice not to have a huge plan or somewhere to be and something to do, just great conversation and exchange of ideas. A day, morning or afternoon away with friends is great therapy even if you don't think you need it!

Do something fun with your friends this weekend or call a friend you have not spoken to in a long while. You will smile, they will smile.

I want to do it because I want to do it. ~ Amelia Earhart

How many times have we talked ourselves out of doing something, eating something, calling someone, going somewhere. Why? The time is now, now is the time to do what you want and live the life you have been given to live.

I am watching the movie Amelia tonight and am amazed at Earhart's passion for flying and for life. She had such a strong will and desire to do what no woman had ever done. It's exciting just watching - find myself smiling at her accomplishments. Amelia followed her dreams and let nothing stand in her way.

Say yes to opportunities this weekend - you never know where they make take you.

What's for lunch...what's for dinner?

I don't know about you, but during the summer I crave nice, cool lite salads. However, I do bore of the same old salads I am used to making. And why do salads that others make taste so much better? Weird, huh? I came across this article and thought some of the salads and mixture of ingredients look interesting and yummy. If you try one, please share with all of us how it was. Enjoy!

All is born of water; all is sustained by water. ~ Goethe



Seems as though the hot days of summer are upon us. Please make sure you are staying hydrated. Don't just drink after you exercise, drink before, during and after. Heck, even if you are not exercising - just getting in and out of your car or house, pack a water bottle and take it with you. Encourage your kids and loved ones to do the same. Summer has just begun, stay well and hydrated.

The worst bankrupty in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm.

Whether you are cleaning your house, writing a book, serving a customer, mowing the lawn....do it with passion. Others will notice and you will too. Taking pride and doing our best makes our day and work much more enjoyable. Be confident with the choices you make and do what motivates you and do it with enthusiam.

New schedule starts today. Take note!
