live the life you want

Today, I am grateful to be alive and doing the things I love.  I am thankful for the courage to take risks, to boldly be me, to follow my heart, and to fill my life with joy. 

I am learning how to forgive others and myself for me.  Life is short and we never know when it will be our last day, our last breath. Do the things you love no matter what anyone else thinks (as long as you’re not hurting other beings), tell the people you love that you love them everyday, and forgive those that wrong you starting with yourself. Not for them, but for you. Live your best and biggest life. 

I accomplished riding the turbulent waves of emotion today.  Today was a big fucking day and the pendulum of life swung equally hard in both directions.  I rode this wave with significantly more grace because I have committed to the work of life and for that, I am thankful. 

I delighted in a wonderful exchange with Mary at the DMV, in sharing a mind-blowing high and devastating low with my soul sister, and in celebrating a man I love whose life on earth was shorter than expected.
