Living In the Moment

I read this quote online this week and I have to say, it stayed with me. James Van Praagh reminds of that we need to live life fully. Each Day. Everyday. I will be the first one to admit, it is not always easy to live fully. Life brings happy moments, sad times, exuberance and grieving. We never know what each day will bring. If we look ahead that is where I usually find my pot of gold. I am not saying to wish away the days in between, but the light at the end of the tunnel gives me hope. A softer place to land. Where are you headed? What do you see at the end of the tunnel? How bright is it?

Today was the day I sent my original photography and original poetry to my publisher, for my upcoming photography/poetry book. To think, I will be a published author. It feels surreal, almost too good to be true. I need someone to pinch me and remind me that it is not a dream. I have "Let Go" of my work and sent it out in confidence to my wonderful publisher, Don Odom. I met him back in 2006 and I am so glad that he has remained in my life. He is a true gentlemen, extremely smart, funny and I am lucky to call him a friend. I have been reading many other blogs lately, and others seem to give their readers a bit more information about themselves. I have taken this in, and I am ready to share more. So telling you about my soon to be published book is my first step. When was the last time you "Let Go" of something? Perhaps hurt feelings, or just freeing yourself that is weighing you down ... I would love to hear all about it!
