Speaking of Joy...

I didn't actually see the kick-off party for Oprah's new season, but I've since watched this dance video to I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas and every time I watch it, I can feel the joy and energy coming from this crowd. It gives me goosebumps!


Looking at all these people, most of whom probably didn't know each other, but together they created something so beautiful and joyful -- that's how I feel about this blogging experience. I have never met the vast majority of you, yet even though we each choreograph the steps to our own lives, we still dance together, support each other and create joy that circles the earth and changes everything! I thank you for that!

Now, crank up the speakers and dance!!

Today's gonna be a good day!

Good Things!

I am aware I am starting the "Good Things" post with an ominous looking picture of bad weather approaching. But...it's a picture of the beach and in my book, the beach in any weather is still a good thing... It's been rainy and blustery here for many days now and will continue, but lessen, during the next few days.

On to other good things -- today I received a little surprise package in the mail from Karen of Tessandore Creative (make sure to visit her blog), just because. So thoughtful and sweet! I opened the letter and out came these five super-cute, tiny, perfectly painted and adorned little houses. I love them!! Thank you, Karen!
Are you a fan of So You Think You Can Dance? Well, I've never watched it before, but will be glued to the TV screen every Friday evening this season because Gabi Rojas, a young and incredibly talented woman I know from Albuquerque, is dancing in it. Check out her audition video - you'll be amazed!! (Now I just have to learn how to vote for her...)



And last, but certainly not least, while my friend was visiting (my excuse for being so late in thanking Suzi...), the talented Suzi of Art With a Touch of Whimsy tagged me. Thanks so much, Suzi! I feel very honored!!! Make sure you check out her blog and her beautiful art!

These are some of my good things for today. What good things are going on in your life?
