...Thankful...

During this time of ‘Thanksgiving’, I’m reminded of how much I have; how much I have been blessed to receive.

I know this is so simple, but so many times we focus on the things we DON’T have, that we forget about the things that we’ve been incredibly blessed to be given.

So, again, as simple as it may sound, take a break from the chaos around you, and be thankful for LIFE…

A Success ...

"Try not to be a man of success, but rather a man of value." ~Albert Einstein

Been thinking a lot about success lately…how does one measure the success of another? Is it in the job or position they hold? Is it in the material possessions that they have? Is it the designer clothes that they wear?

I’d like to think that success is so much more than those things…it’s not about the things we have, the things we consume…it’s about the moments in LIFE that somehow, make LIFE livable…and without them, LIFE wouldn’t be complete.

I don’t know what those moments are for you, but for me it’s meeting my husband, marrying him and beginning a life together…it’s spending time with my sisters, whom I cherish more than anything…it's the time spent with my mom and dad, which without them, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today…and perhaps, another moment will emerge in the future, of raising a child to become whatever it is they are born dreaming about…

I believe success isn’t in the material things, but the moments that breathe LIFE into us…
