The words thank you are sometimes taken for granted. There are times that we may feel they are not enough. Just know that they are powerful, meaningful and just enough as they are. All we have to do is remember to you them.

My Happy Birthday Dance Contrary to what my kids think, mama still got it. I wish they were able to stay up and join me in this little fun. I thought dancing in my 40s would be fun, so here it is. Doing my favorite old school moves and laughing at life, living it the best way I know how despite the ups and downs. Life is too short to dwell on the bad, sad, and regretful things in life. Live and keep breathing and impact change through action the best way you know how, no matter how small. Positive motion and energy is your contribution. Peace, love and dance.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens The kids and I went to see this last night and I have to say, it did not disappoint. I enjoyed every minute of it. The pacing was just right. The action sequences, engaging. The sprinkle of humor, fitting. I have to say that it was very good considering my daughter who only really goes to the movies for the experience and always ends of going to restroom several (to my annoyance) times during a movie did not go once. That right there is a huge thumbs up.

Be the light that you are!  I do not care for watching the news, mostly because everything is always so negative. Bad news sells advertising. Bad news stirs up emotions and causes people to react which increases viewership and that translates to dollars. That is why we find so much negative stuff in the news and that is why I avoid it. Nevertheless, I have to remind myself that the world is full of good people that live good lives and that do great things on a regular basis. These things are ordinary and probably not news worthy. These things could be what we take from granted. These things are life.  Be kind, loving, and generous. Help each other. Laugh together. Spend time enjoying one another's company. Share the love, the light that is inside of you. Be the beacon. Be an example. Live, love, laugh and smile! That to me is spreading light, being light. Being love! Light in motion!  Helpful articles The Art of Kindness Benefits of Showing Kindness to Oth...

Be You To be  phenomenal  is already in you  activate the power that is  within  At times it seems as though we strive to be just regular. Why not strive to rise above the daily rut? Why not strive to be better than average? Why not strive to go beyond the minimum? No one can decide what those things are or what that looks like but you. Decide what is your greatness and go for it. In working towards something more, we will activate our power.

How dare Adele come back out with the release of this single, Hello , that 1. makes me think she is going to belt out, "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?," from Lionel Richie, and 2. for singing a song that stirs my emotions without any warning. The nerves of her!
