"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person"

~Anais Nin

I've come to believe that if you're fortunate, you'll come to a point where you'll be forced to take a look around and decide if you are living the life you really, truly, deep-in-your-soul want to live.

And if you're very fortunate, you'll notice the tiny spark inside of you that will refuse to be extinguished, that will become the inspiration to take that first, infinitesimally small step in the direction of living your most authentic life. And you'll know that it's the right step because once you take it, you'll feel more alive, and the people who truly love you will see you come alive, and will do whatever it takes to help you take the next step, and then the next one, and then the next one.

Here's to sparks that light you up.

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire with in you to leave this world better than when you found it." ~Unknown~

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
