The Second Act

Today I begin the second act of my life. I have to admit, it is pretty exciting! To now take all that I have learned in the first 50 years and begin creating the next 50 or so! Wow!
Let's begin with some of what I have learned...Stop and smell the roses. Dance! Appreciate the beauty of this earth and care for all that God has given us stewardship over. If it's worth doing, do it well. Find the beauty in even the simplest of things. LIVE the golden rule.Hug the ones you love as much as possible.Babies grow up way to fast! Look each person in the eye and smile! See others the way God see's them. Always look for the good. When people tell you who they are, believe them. I can't change anyone else so don't even try. I can change my own attitude. The only thing I have control over are my own choices.Use your talents or loose your talents.Seek first to understand, then to be understood.Power comes from telling the truth. I am always creating with my thoughts and feelings. I am not Wonder Woman. Repentance is a wonderful thing. Focus on FEELING good! Live by the Spirit. Know that with God all things are possible.Don't take myself so damn seriously! Let people go who don't want to climb the mountain of life with you. Stop trying to drag them along. The weight can cost you your dreams, your purpose, your health and even your life.There is the milk of the gospel and there is the meat of the gospel. I am always in a state of learning. Life is a beautiful, priceless experience.
Where do I go from here? I plan to climb a mountain, take lots of walks, practice yoga, create new media to lift people who choose to be elevated. I will live by the Spirit and serve God with all my might, mind, and soul. I will be an ambassador of peace. I will create from a place of love....and I will dance!
