Try.

Amazing how inspiring ONE word can be. Even more powerful is the action!

Simple. True. Just Try.

Bumping into inspiration ...

"If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it."
~ Jonathan Winters

PS: I bumped into the above quote today and simply had to share it ...
I like the action it requires and calls for ... don't wait around for stuff to happen. Get out there and make something happen - swim, write, run, dance, draw, create, love, laugh ... do something! :)

Peace. Love. Llamas!

My oldest son, Kade, ran for Vice President of his Middle School. I enjoyed being a part of his campaign and watching all the effort and time that went into running for this position!

My favorite part of the entire process was the night he read me his speech. He told a story about a llama that went to middle school and didn't fit in. He ended it with a very sweet statement about reaching out to all kids at his middle school and his desire for everyone to have a friend and a positive middle school experience! He had my vote :)....

It was fun to be part of his excitement when he received the - Congratulations! You won! phone call.

PS: I love you Kade - Keep sharing the peace and love - I know you will be a GREAT V.P. at your school.

The second stage of gumption - Knowing what you want and taking ACTION...
(Scene from "Walk the Line") ... I love how timid Johnny Cash is when he first starts performing. He stands at the mic and says "Hi... I'm Johnny Cash." As time goes by, that is not longer a timid statement! In fact, it makes him Johnny Cash. :) See the You Tube video above.

FEEL the gumption rhythm!! :) ....
