Nature

My very favorite thing to do, any day and any time of the year, is to spend time in the great outdoors. I can hike all afternoon, in total silence, sit by a river and spend hours just listening to the rushing of the water, watching it flow. There’s just something about nature, both the complexity and the simplicity of it, that connects with my soul. I had a very long week but today is 65° & breezy, I’m in the middle of a green forested area with just the tips of the leaves starting to take on Autumn’s hues, it’s time to refresh my spirit and get ready to rise and grind again tomorrow. What do you to to relax and unwind?

Good morning, everyone!  Do you know what today is? Today is the perfect day to wave goodbye to your naysayers as you continue on your road to success. Don’t allow anybody to discourage you or hold you back from accomplishing your goals. Turn a deaf ear to the negativity. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Smile!

Thought for the day: Smile more!
When I’m out and about during the day I have the tendency to focus on whatever task needs to be done and I don’t always look around, make eye contact with people or smile. It’s something I’m working on. I have to make a conscious effort to get out of my own head and engage, even if it’s just giving someone a little smile but I’ve come to realize…my smile might be the only smile someone sees today. It doesn’t take much effort and it might be just what someone else needs to see in order to change their day around. PLUS….it’s a good way to brighten my own day. So,  SMILE! 😆

The Entrepreneur Caterpillar

Not everything great comes easily or quickly. Sometimes a caterpillar takes a month to metamorphosis into a gorgeous butterfly,  sometimes it takes a year; no matter the length, it takes a lot of nourishment, hard work, growth and patience in order to reach the final product.  For entrepreneurs going from caterpillar to butterfly is a constant work in progress. You want your business and/or product to flourish and be awe inspiring, and it will be…but it takes a lot of hard work, constant learning and evolving and patience. Lots of patience. Don’t give up before the world gets a chance to see your final product. Put in the time and hard work and your ‘butterfly’ will emerge. I guess that analogy could also be given for life, in general 🙂

God: The Artist

Nothing more beautiful and peacful than an Arizona sunset…except, say….an Arizona sunrise. Lol I understand that there are many who don’t believe in God or a higher power but when I see nature like this, I just can’t understand how one can doubt. To me, it’s like the earth, sea and sky is God’s great canvas and He is the artist who is always trying to outdo himself
Lol He’s like…you think that sunset is beautiful…just wait until you see my next one! Lol

Mr. Bluejay, a Sweet Little Surprise

I am not a great photographer and I am painfully aware of that fact however, I still try! When visiting Jamestown. VA a few months back I thought I’d take a sweet little picture of a chicken enjoying her lunch. As I was skimming through these pictures a few minutes ago I realized I had captured more than that! Apparently, Mr. Bluejay decided to perch himself on a barrel and enjoy the scene as well! I hadn’t even noticed him but I’m so very glad he decided to get in the frame! I love little nuggets of surprise like this. For some reason this discovery reminded me that, although ambition and goals are a great thing, I shouldn’t be so focused that I forget to look around and enjoy the WHOLE scene of my life or I might miss something special.
