Day 353 ~ "Incredible" {and} "Interesting"

What I Learned About Me... from A to Z

What have I learned about myself this past year {blogging}..?  hmmmm... First off... I would like to make sure you know up front... I never had blogged before until I started this blog 349 days ago.  Secondly... I never intended on learning anything.  HAHA! LOL!  No but seriously... It wasn't my intention...   Check out what my intention(s) were/are here.

So here goes... What I Learned About Me... from A to Z

"I" is for...  Incredible {and} Interesting.     

This last year has been one  incredible {and} interesting experience for me.  

At the risk of sounding redundant.. I once again have to say that through blogging I have learned so much... about myself... and about life.  

This really has been an incredible year of rediscovery... healing... spiritual... raw honesty {I like that "raw honesty"}...  a sense of rebirth.

Even with all the highs and lows of every day life, this experience ... as I sit here and think back on the last 352 days... honestly... this experience has truly been an interesting journey.  

A journey of which I would happily do it over and over again!

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

~Maya Angelou

Tomorrow...  What I Learned About Me... from A to Z ... the letter(s) "J". 

[here's to you finding your... ]

Peace...

Day 307 ~ "I" is for Inspiration

"I" ... I ... ai ya yai!  My "I" word... hmmm...  Integrity is a very good word. But so is imagination. However... I decided on Inspiration.

 Please don't get me wrong, integrity is a wonderful word.  It says so much.  The commitment of standing by one's moral and artistic values; and where would we be without imagination?  Disneyland would definitely not exist that's for sure!  What a thought!  A world without Disneyland...  so happy Walt believed in himself, followed his dreams and never gave up ... no matter what he was told.


This last year... the last 307 days to be exact, have been a true inspiration to me and for me.   Each day being inspired by the previous one.  It's as if the previous day was providing fuel for the next.  

Two of my most favorite things that inspire me,
my family and the beach.  ~ Malibu, Ca. Aug/2011

Bottom line, this thing called Inspiration has given me strength, it has built "me" up, and has also taught me quite a bit along the way.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.  

~ James Baldwin

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.   

~ Lauren Bacall 

Genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration.  

~ Thomas Edison 

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
