LIVE: Quote of the week

There exists in all truths a paradox, I believe.  Along with becoming someone who has learned to dream big, believe the prophecies spoken over my life, and follow my heart, there is also the absolute reality and lesson of simply living life as it presents itself in every moment. I have four children. I am a wife. There are many, many, many days full of the mundane action of simply living.  But I have discovered that in order to feel fully alive in the mundane moments, I need to have the dreams and prophecies and my heart beating wildly about all that is possible. I have also learned that keeping life about real living (vs surviving) in the mundane is to find the beauty, the glory, the magic hidden somewhere in each day. I'm always on the lookout for things that make me catch my breath, feel awake, feel alive, feel human.

So I will live the paradox.  I have big dreams.  I will do my best to position myself to fulfill the giant prophesies spoken over me. At the same time, I will hold on to the beauty in each day.  I will search for the magic in the mundane. I will revel in the hug from my child, in the song played for the 100th time on the penny whistle, and the simple action of making dinner for the 9 millionth time in my life.  I will not forget to live!
