Thought of the Day. Think Big!

quote_think_bigIt’s true that life is a succession of  moments and experiences running the gamut from big to small. Remember that if you settle for less – you will always get less than what you would have settled for.

Plan, prepare, dream, strive and think big and don’t get stuck in a rut of small and narrow thinking. Some people as they get older it seems their idea’s may become smaller; I hope to avoid that. Expand and keep an open mind and a healthy outlook on life, people, experiences and everything in between.

 

Thought of The Day. Breathe and Relax.

You don’t have to be at sea to allow for a bit of breathing room and mental space in the midst of your day. Visualize a peaceful place, remove mental clutter for a few seconds or minutes.

Life Musings. Post Superbowl 48 Performance Thoughts.

“I like to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out there and kick ass.” – Maya Angelou

I thought of this while watching all of the ladies perform at the Superbowl yesterday. It’s always cool to see anyone achieving and going beyond their dreams; man, woman, girl or boy – young or old.

As an artist however, I felt especially proud, like a big sister, yesterday watching the diversity of each artist on the big stage at the Super Bowl 48. The soulful ‘America The Beautiful’ with Jennifer Hudson (made me teary, singing with the Sandy Hook Children’s Chorus; understanding the connection of the personal tragedies due to senseless gun violence to both), Alicia Keys singing at the piano for ‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ the dynamite entertainment force of Beyonce’s halftime performance; also using the moment to show her sisterhood with Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams reuniting Destiny’s child’s for the occasion.

Each of the artists – kicking ass in their own distinct way. Simply fabulous!

I can relate. Grab the lapels of life and kick ass – yes indeed!
