ummmm....TODAY....is a.....BIG....BIG...DAY!!!!!!


Time after Time. 
LOVE this SONG!
it is so 80's.
years after my own heart.
ahhhh....the big hair, leg warmers, pearl necklaces and v-neck sweaters worn backwards. 
we were so cool.
gives me the warm fuzzies.
i had a great childhood. 
for real. 
HOWEVER
you couldn't pull me back for ANYTHING.
not for a moment.
today is exactly where i want to be.
recently i was asked what my favorite age was.....
i replied "i don't know yet" 
to me it seems like each day gets better and better.
hardships? YEP!
tears? YEP!
heartbreaks and growth? YEP!

but intertwined within all those moments of despair comes LIFE, the stuff worth livin'.
regrets....NOPE! not a ONE.
wouldn't change a thing.  
so many moments to treasure.
the familiar bantering from one of my boys that makes my heart happy.
the wink from across the room from my hubby that still makes my heart skip a beat.
the warm laughter amongst friends, the simple moments...the ones that REALLY matter. 
nothing brings me more pleasure than..... looking around, realizing i am in the moment and FEELING LIFE.  i mean REALLY feeling it....37 years of practice, baby....37 years.  
It is about time....
isn't that the BEST?....i am feeling so very young and full of anticipation.
seems to me as if life is just beginning sometimes.
wisdom has settled into my soul allowing me to really open up to life.
the good, the bad, the in between.... it is all ours, and nothing can stop us from livin' it while we are still here.
letting go of the things that matter so very little and grasping loosely to the things that make a memory so sweet. 
my reflection tells me the years are present, however embracing it allows me to see the brilliance, beauty and certainty of emotion in every laugh line that exists.  
i have enjoyed and continue to enjoy acquiring each and every one....
MY PLAN:
 continue to do so.
100%

"....it really is a beautiful thing."
{that is one of my favorite things to say...HA!}

RANDOM FACT: 
Did you know that had I gotten MY WAY {ippity} would be called AUDACIOUS.  
yep....I was fighting forAUDACIOUS to be the name of Unity's SISTER COMPANY....{audacious} 
THANK GOODNESS for GOOD FRIENDS to talk me out of it. 
 A simple discussion at the ROUND TABLE in the local little pub-  O'Neils 
with FABULOUS PEOPLE made me see the light. 
IN ESSENCE: 
they all took the side of CHRIS.
i will admit i pouted a little....
HE CAME UP WITH {ippity}  - Mr. Mastermind, himself. 
Gotta love a guy that can invent a good word. 
HOORAY, SWEETIE!  You go!
