brilliance of ordinary


whimsical gateway along this morning's walk


"Experience.  Dream.  Risk.  Close your eyes and jump.  Enjoy the free fall.  Choose exhilaration over comfort.  Choose magic over predictability.  Choose potential over safety.


Wake up to the magic of everyday life.  Make friends with your intuition.  Trust your gut.  Discover the beauty of uncertainty.  Know yourself fully before you make promises to another.


Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need.  Know when to hold on and when to let go.  Love hard and often and without reservation.


Seek knowledge.  Open yourself to possibility.  Keep your heart open, your head high, and your spirit free.  Embrace your darkness along with your light.  Be wrong every once in a while, and don't be afraid to admit it.  Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments.


Tell the truth about yourself no matter what the cost.  Own your reality without apology.  See goodness in the world.  Be Bold.  Be Fierce.  Be Grateful.  Be Wild, Crazy, and Gloriously Free.  Be You."
