I love this quote. Life is short. Don’t live by someone else’s expectations. Live your life the way you want to. There are no limits except the time we have here on Earth. Start Living!
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.”
– Steve Jobs
Last week I wrote a post wishing my sister a Happy Heavenly Birthday which also was Why I Launched on August 8 three years ago. Therefore, my blog is now three years old! Happy Birthday to me! We have made some changes over the years as I started with Daily Inspirations five times a week, Weekly Wednesday Workouts, and Friday Fixins. Those posts are still there and there are plenty of workouts to get you started on your fitness journey as well as recipes to help you eat better and feel better!
After about a year of blogging and after Gram passed away, our lives got a little busier. I wasn’t home taking care of her, and I was going on more adventures with my Prince. I continued to try to get posts out every week. I started doing posts on Tuesdays about Family, my Adventures with Gram, our Travels, and being a Pilot’s Wife. I also started doing Weekly Wednesday Words just once a week instead of daily.
This third year has been filled with even more adventures and the blog has been less consistent. I know I should be capturing our adventures but sometimes it’s so hard to find the time to write! Thank you for continuing to follow me.
As you know I had a meeting with the Medium. He told me I needed to start writing and working on a book. I hate to not do my blog because I love writing these posts for you. But I also would like to write a book, too. Therefore, the posts may be even more inconsistent. Thank you to those who already have but, I suggest subscribing to the blog by going to the main page here and scrolling down about halfway. Look at the right side and you will see where you can put in your name and email and Subscribe! That way you won’t miss the posts whenever they come out!
I wish you the best of the rest of your summer and those who have started school already, I wish you a happy, healthy school year!

I am not sure why but it seems people are happier when the sun is shining. The sun seems to give people more positive energy. People can do anything when the sun is out.
“When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble is too difficult to overcome.”

Most of our year is spent in flip flops since we are sunbirds and chase the sun. Many people love putting on their flip flops, going to the beach and putting their toes in the sand. So take the time this summer to put on your flip flops and make some amazing memories!

Life is short but we have the ability to change our story and to choose our own adventures. Take control of your life. Write the story you want to live. Choose the adventure you want to go on.
“Our lives are stories in which we write, direct and star in the leading role. Some chapters are happy while others bring lessons to learn, but we always have the power to be the heroes of our own adventures.”
– Joelle Speranza
As I have said several times before don’t let others bring you down. You are a light. Shine it as bright as you can. Don’t let others steal your sunshine.
“Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put some sunglasses on.”
