Goldilocks Rocks American Idol Haley Reinhart

USA Today reported yesterday that on Haley Reinhart’s home town visit,  a sign was held up saying, “Goldilocks Rocks”.  That caught my attention 😉 And, for some reason I’m a little embarrassed to say this,…but, I love watching American Idol, and Haley from the beginning, has been one of my favorites. And, it’s not because we have the same hair. 🙂  What moves me watching Haley and American Idol, is that it’s everyday people living their dream.

If you’ve been reading my blog, then you know that’s what I’m all about.  I want all of us, to live our dream life. What moves you?  What brings you joy? What does your perfect life look like? If you haven’t created it yet, I think you can learn a thing or two from watching Haley. She didn’t make the cut the first year she tried out for American Idol.  She was almost sent home early during Hollywood week.  She was in the bottom two several times during earlier eliminations, and who says after finding out that she’s been eliminated, “This is only the beginning”!

Remember we all start out beginners, it’s what you do from there that makes you succeed. Keep moving forward.  Keep making choices and taking actions, no matter how small, in the direction of living your “just right” life. If you stumble, or pause, or slip up, just get up and continue on.

Haley, continued on, to sing and rock the song Bennie and the Jets, and at the end shouted “You’ll be seeing me! This ain’t the end of this! This ain’t the end of this thing! Shindig – See ya Later!”  And, I’m sure we will.

Treasure Found On The Beach – Gratitude

About a year ago I had a dream that I was alone on the beach, and felt a deep sense of joy an peace. I was walking with the waves to my left and the shore to my right. My footsteps hit where the ocean met the sand, with my feet occasionally getting wet, by the still warm waters running in with the waves.  The sun sparkled on the water, but it wasn’t so bright to be blinding, just a beautiful glistening. I looked down to where my next step would land, and I noticed a different shimmer. So I stopped to investigate. The next waves white foam receded back to the ocean, revealing parts of a gold chain and pendant encrusted with rubies. The rest was hidden by the sand, but I knew there was more. I couldn’t believe my good fortune – that no one else had seen this.

Today I went for a walk on the beach, and it was so much like my dream, that I kept looking for the treasure – ” just knowing” that it would appear.  As I walked, and walked, and walked, I realized the treasure was… the beautiful day, the warm water, the serenity and peacefulness of being alone on the beach. With the luxury of being able to see and feel it all.  I couldn’t believe my good fortune. 🙂  and I reminded myself on this week of Gratitude and Thanksgiving, of all we have to be thankful for. Everything is right in front of our us – We have it now! So much to be grateful for!  Look for it, it’s all around!

Scattered thoughts… Indecision

Indecision may or may not be my problem.  Jimmy Buffett

Indecision – stops you.  You can get to where you want to go, but only if you know where your going.  Vacillating back and forth, wavering,…thinking, thinking, thinking, is not going to take you anywhere.  You must take action!

If you read my last post, you will remember that there are a number of moves, that can get you where you want to go.  So don’t put so much weight on the perfect thought out plan, most likely, things are going to change throughout your journey.  What you need to remember is where you want to go, and keep making your decisions from that basis.  Is this choice going to lead me where I want to go. If the answer is yes, then head in that direction, if the answer is no, unless your changing your goal or dream – don’t follow that path.  Do make a plan, just don’t delay taking action because every step is not guaranteed.

Guarantee’s, sometimes, keep us from taking that first step, or following through with the next move.  We sometimes feel if we had a guarantee that our dream will work, and a definite step by step plan to follow, then we would proceed; but because our dreams don’t have guarantees, sometimes we fail to make our move.  Our only guarantee is this moment right now, so the question becomes, how do you want to live your life now?
