It's What Makes the World Go Round

Ever wake up and feel inspired? Or see something in passing that truly sparks an interest of some sort but you dont know what to do about or with it? Lately I find myself stopped, dead in my tracks, at a dead end... as if my imagination has lead me so far and now the options of what is next are so far in between. A color, symbol, word or phrase...a picture that strikes a mood or experience that sparks an idea...its something that everyday brings and when one doesn't execute their greatest inspirations they soon after dwindle away to be forgotten forever.

*Be inspired daily *

If I Had a Million Dollars...

Nostalgic it is, going back to a time when working was fun and fun was amazingly eventful and altogether a part of the everyday routine. It seems that those days are a mere blur of the past and the present is none other then a racetrack to be kept up with. Keeping up with those next to us, around us and even those who are a figure of the imagination. As if earnings are the ultimate fuel to a lifestyle most desired and everything else comes as a trickling effect thereafter.

Although some live to work, I cannot accept this as a calling of mine and continue to keep an open frame of mind and remember to work to live. Open to the idea that money may not necessarily be the key to happiness and there is more to live for then the unlimited ability to swipe, swipe, swipe. With so many passions buried deep inside, dying to be recognized and explored there is the same barrier that continues to take persistence. It cannot be ignored... and when realized that ones passion is the priority is when true happiness is reached and success is defined only by oneself.

Do You Remember the Time...

Not everyday do we get to take a trip down memory lane, unexpected, but when the opportunity presents itself it feels quite refreshing. It seems as time goes by, faster and faster, we tend to get further and further away from the past. Instead of simply reminiscing, I always try to make a conscious effort to pause and reflect on some of those most special moments with some of the most special people. It cannot be taken for granted the people in your world, those who have helped evolve the you that you've become today. Without those most influential it is not known, but can be assumed, that we would not be who we are. It saddens me to think of those who lack those so special and are influenced negatively when all so the opposite is so close by.

Since I made the move and replanted myself in the "City of Angels" it seems, more and more, I am reconnected with my past. Whether it be an old friend, acquaintance, visitor or phone call I am beginning to have de-ja-vu more times then none. It makes me think that life, in a way, is a constant cycle where the past meets the present that leads us to the future. It is when you indulge in the most fondest memories they will none other that be re-visited just when most missed. Always when a vision becomes a blur is the exact instant when that vision re-appears, impecable timing, to say the least.

A little birdie landed on my doorstep and instantly my past met the present and I could not be more ecstatic. Soothing to re-connect and as if nothing has changed which is the beauty of friendship and maintaining those most important. In this 'lil thing we call life it is most important to not let your past slip away, to not be consumed in the future that the past is altogether forgotten. Although we grow everyday, times change and people evolve, it can never be ignored how we became who we are today and allow ourselves to re-embrace what was once with the people who always will be. Here is to friendship and to those that have slipped away are really none other than a phone call away...
