Play like a chid

You might have thought that I was about to embark on some lessons from the recent tragic shooting in Orlando. Thankfully, I am not. I write on a much lighter note today as I land in Orlando (for the first time) and head with the family to Disney. I am beyond excited!

Anything is possible. Life is a great adventure. For almost all of us, the systems that ‘educate’ us to be adults stifle our natural joy and curiosity. We lose touch with our innate appreciation of life. We forget how to dream. The good news is that with attention, patience and love, we can reawaken our sense of wonder. You do not have to be in Orlando to do this. Today, just stop, pause, breathe and look at your world through curious eyes (instead of our often critical ones). Dance with life again and…
  2. Take time to do fun things! This again doesn’t have to be the kind of fun you’ll experience at a Disney theme park (but if you want that… add it to your bucket list, like I did mine). It can be as simple as baking with your kids, making funny faces, having a games night or going to a comedy show. Whatever fun means for you… make it happen! If you don’t, who will?!
