Happiness is a Choice ...


How many of you know about these "Fortune Tellers"? 
We used to make these with pieces of paper when I was a kid. 
You would move them in and out depending on the what number you chose 
(the numbers would be where the letters are in this picture).
You would then have color names (Red, Green, Blue) inside to choose from,
you would count out the letters to see what secret message you would open for that person.
They would fold out from the inside of this shape shown above.
Just a fun childhood game I have never forgotten ...

My motto is:
We always have a choice
So this quote really spoke to me.

What is your motto?

  1. I haven't seen this for such a long time! :) I used to play that game too as a child!
    And my motto... well, I try to live by the "Follow your heart" motto, as much as I can. :)

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
