Make It Happen

Yesterday my car was a frozen over sheet of ice and I had to slip and slide my way to the store to get something to eat for breakfast. As I walked the slippery sidewalks, in the aftermath of a Texas ice storm, I noticed more of the world and its bright details around me: orange leaves on the ground with their sharp icy tips, the very visible, smoke-like, exhaled breaths of young women – who were once even younger girls -- waiting at bus stops for a ride to work or to wherever each of them happened to be going.

These days it seems like we are actually standing at the cusp of just about everything. There are real truths in every single story in the streets where we walk and talk…in each and every adventure…and in every opportunity that starts (very OriGiNalLy) at the very beginning (simply and AmAziNgLy) as one girl’s own dreamed up dream.

We’ve got places to go and people to be.
We’ve got some things to say.

Like the winter trees’ fallen down or blown-away leaves, everyone we know has lost something. (but not HeArt). And during these changing of days -- while many are trying to hold on to what they’ve got, there’s something to be said for just branching out, throwing things out there, forgetting perfectionism and trying out just about anything. There’s a lot to be learned and gained from our own and from other people’s mistakes. And maybe, just may-be: there’s great art waiting to be created out of where we came from and where we are going -- at the next bus stop, or just around the next corner.

Our lives are a work, like-a-book-or-film (many books many films) yet to be completed. We are constantly in `progress.’
Today we are shaking things up. Today, we are work-ing.

So..when your bus arrives, will you just step aside, or will you stand up for something?
Will you accept everything that comes your way, or will you choose to make a difference?
When your turn comes, will you be silent…or will you find your voice,
and let it ring out??
Here it is:____________________ ! : )
There are chances everywhere. : D
So...when you see the future in front of you…
Will you walk…
or run?

It’s your turn to shine, significantly.
Shine on.
May you always dance, find life’s tiny miracles
and stand tall in the very bright-lit sunshine
of your very own.
Whatever you dream can actually be. If you just do it…
Make it happen.
