“The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.” -~Pema Chodron

I know a time when I had my life completely planned, even my fun time was planned!

“Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire – you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.” ~Denis Waitley

I simply love that quote because it reminds me that it’s up to me to make each day and each dream super special. That doesn’t mean that each moment of every day is going to be wonderfully smooth, uneventful, and happy.
