When was the last time you experienced something with awe and amazement?

My Truth: Life is too short to be living in fear and living for/through someone else. Life is too short to be living woulda/shoulda/coulda, so I’m embarking on a journey of Love, Light, and Limitlessness.  I don’t know how long I have to live, but for the time I have, I want to live it well, without regret, following my beliefs, living my dreams, and inspiring others in the process.

I want to feel what the baby girl in this photo felt, everyday.
