Do something out of the ordinary today!

For two years I have thought about starting a blog and finally today a wonderful catalyst in my life finally got me motivated enough to do it by starting her own blog. So here it is. Starting a blog is the thing I have done that is out of the ordinary today. What will you choose to do?

Periodically, I am going to post photographs I have taken to share. It is my hope that this will keep me focused on the importance of creativity in my life. Being left handed dancing, drawing and all arts have always felt natural to me. In recent years, I have turned toward photography as a form of self-expression. In my opinion this world is full of so many magical moments and beautiful scenes. To capture them and make them timeless is a worthy goal!

This weekend I was at the beach enjoying the waves, sunshine and friends I visited with. Although I could post a photo from there I have decided that the photos I post should reflect my moods or the message I am writing about. I would love feedback on the photos I take and share since I eventually want to choose which ones to sell on as greeting cards or prints.

The most serene ones I would love to ultimately see hung in spas, hotels, or model homes to relax and inspire people. The splendor of God's creations on earth beg to be shared so that we all remember to "stop and smell the roses". It is too easy to get caught up in the rat race that life can so easily become. Don't let that happen to you!!!

Life is a journey. The destination is much less important than embracing the treasures each day holds. What good is living if we aren't sharing our love and joy along the way!? I will post inspirational quotes, helpful organizational tips, and other information I find interesting that will make your life better too!

Remember to bring joy into your life today. Do something fun and out of your ordinary routine! At the very least tell someone you love them, give a hug, pick a flower, smile, call a friend, tell a family member how special they are to you, whistle a tune, and walk barefoot in the grass. Choose something out of the ordinary and do it NOW....
