In the grand scheme of things, we are really here only a short time. Make it matter.
Spend time with people who make your heart happy.
Surprise people with thoughtfulness. It fills your soul with joy.
Dream Big. And then make it happen.
When you feel broken, have a good cry and then pick up the pieces and start again. Right then.
Believe in Hope. and Grace. and Forgiveness.
Love without worry or fear.
Know that you are worth the happiness you feel.
and you're worth being your best and taking care of yourself.
Be bold. Take chances. It will be worth it.
Let go of the regrets. The only thing you can change is your future.
Practice random acts of kindness.
You can't control the behavior of others. You can only be your best self.
Laugh. a lot.
Be thankful. for every little thing.
Create Adventure. It makes life fun.
Live Inspired. It makes your soul overflow with goodness.

at sundown....

Hanukkah begins.




















Over the past few years by having a very close family friend who celebrates Hanukkah I have learned an incredible amount of information on what the Jewish faith is all about. I appreciate the honesty and the understanding in wanting to know more. By learning about the Jewish faith, it has really made me learn and want to learn so much more about my own faith, and for that I am certainly greatful.
So, enjoy your '8 Crazy Nights'!!
xoxo

guess what we'll be making this weekend...
