2011 and little reminders

I'm not much for tattoos, but my colleague and friend who I admire is getting a tattoo to start the new year off. It's going to be a heart made out of arrows, an affirmation she wants to be reminded of daily, that being- follow your heart.

For some, this saying seems a bit naive, possibly utterly cliche, but for others that live by it and fully experience the consequences of  this type of living, it is not only true, but a necessary lifestyle for mental well being. It's so easy to pass by these philosophies as obvious, but it's another thing to actually live by them and feel the depth of their simplicity.

I love it when life is happening right before your eyes and then something catches your attention and pulls you into YOU world; that silent place where thoughts start connecting with emotions and emotions start connecting with experiences. I was at a dance party the other night and as I was walking up the stairs to the bathroom, I looked up and saw this poster. And it made me think for the next two minutes , and then, poof! I re-entered the world of living in the moment and enjoying everything as it came my way.

i'm tryyyyying!!
