Today I am on an adventure with several friends as we fly to the Oregon Coast for a weekend of prayer, meditation, laughter, silence, and resting within the ocean.  I am truly smiling today because of the possible mayhem created at the airport, restaurants, car rentals, and grocery stores ... I am not sure if the world is ready for us today!

Yesterday I laughed so hard talking to my sister on the phone in the middle of the sporting goods store ... she makes me smile all the time. 

My daughter snuggled close last night and we did our secret handshake as our evening ritual and I smile with the memory of her laughter as we clapped our hands together and gave "air kisses" ... just like the movie stars.

I smiled and laughed with my early morning client as he bounced into the studio happily at 5:15am ... ready for his day ... filled with energy. 

I have so much in my life to be smiling about ... family, friends, relationships, journeys, business, and the constant knowing that life is good to me.  Yes, I do have my moments ... you can read them in my daily journals ... but those are simply moments because I open my eyes to the life I have today and immediately fall into gratitude.

Smile today ... be in gratitude ... seek the abundance in your life ... you are breathing ... you are surrounded by freedom ... you are blessed ... you are smart, fit, and strong ... you are willing to walk today brave and bold ... you are an absolute gift to the world ... look into the mirror and smile ... you are perfect.
