What are your hopes and dreams?

Have you ever wanted to do something outrageous beyond anything you ever imagined for yourself? Did your parents hold aspirations for you as a child? What are your hopes and dreams? What will you do in your life to make people stand up and take notice?

When I was young I thought I wanted to be a ballerina on the stage. I was always inspired by my parents. It seemed they could do anything! My mom was a terrific business woman, loved to travel. She was and is still a splendid artist. My dad was a soulful pilot and later in life an entrepreneur.

My views of the world through their eyes was beautiful and adventurous! To this day, I am still striving to become a better person through my chosen career of a nurse. Striving to help people and encourage others to become all they can be!

What can we do each day to make this a better place? What do you hold dear? I believe we can achieve wondrous things in each of our lives, given the opportunity and fortitude to remain true to our goals! Each and every one of us! It doesn't matter where you come from or where you are right now!

All it takes is a little imagination and a belief in yourself! You can do it! All we have to do is try!

And Heaven smiled.....

No matter where we look, there is beauty all around us! If we just take a few minutes from our busy schedules to really take in all the natural wonder!!

 I'd like to think of it as a gift, that is given 

to all of us, to enjoy each minute of the day, no matter how short! 

 If only we could take a few moments to meditate each day! And let the tension just evaporate.

 Just take a deep breath and dream of a peaceful life of serenity and hope. 

You may have to watch your step every now and then! Someone may want to wake you from your dream, your peace, your serenity or your hope. But you just hold onto that picture!

 Don't be deterred from your dreams or aspirations!

 Life is worth taking a chance! 

Believing that you can do it!

 Believing in yourself!

 And hopefully, along the journey, you can enjoy it with your loved ones!

 Furry friends, included!
