Hello 2019...

So it's January 1st 2019, feel different than when it was 2018 yesterday? Yeah, I figured not, perhaps you may be feeling hungover, but not like a "new you."

Let's cut through that noise and get real, it's simply a new year nothing has changed other than a number. Think of it as page one of three hundred and sixty five. Change, if you truly want it happens over time and by putting in the effort and wanting to evolve.

When it happens, it happens. It's not going to be brought on by some fairy tale notion that does not exist. For example my change happened in April of last year. It was the result of hard work on my inner as well as outer self, it happened when all my efforts came together and propelled me to the place I was supposed to be.

So enjoy your day off, because that's all it really is. Life should be a constant journey, the experience of it is a constant and isn't going to magically change until you put in the work and have the desire.

That being stated I wish everyone a great year, enjoy the ride and constantly motivate yourself to achieve your goals. Who knows they might happen sooner than you think.

Now if you'll excuse me I hear one of my goals calling - laundry...

Fairy Tales Do Come True!

Have To Believe We Are Magic
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

With all the heinous things happening in the world around us, it's nice to witness a real life Fairy Tale - Once upon a time....

Thus let's pop open a bottle of our finest bubbly and toast to the union or Prince Harry & Meghan Markle on this May 19th 2018!

For those of you who think this event is frivolous, you may want to re-think that position. For better of for worse this Royal Wedding matters on so many levels, politically and psychologically.

How so? Let me break it down for you.

On the political front you have two philanthropists getting hitched who, in lieu of wedding gifts gave a list of charities they would like their guests give donations to. Meghan Markle is biracial, while I am at loathe to make this a point since it is 2018 - sadly it is still significant. It's the uniting of two different countries, think about it, but not too hard.

Psychologically with what seems like weekly mass shootings happening and the general state of the planet,this reminds us the magic of love really does exist. We need the escapism and pageantry right here, right now. There hasn't been a Cinderella story like this since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco.

"Yes" people today we are reminded that their is hope in the world and that Fairy Tales have the power to still come true when we choose love over hate. 

Congratulations to the happy couple.Let love rule!!!

The Home Stretch

Fairy Tale
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Last week was a reminder to "save the date" as it was two weeks away. Well this week we are hitting the home stretch. That's correct peeps, the Royal Wedding is now officially one week away, seven days and counting, the home stretch.

The thing is, this event couldn't come at a better time in the history of the world. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Yeah, I cribbed that phrase from a song, but no truer words could be spoken presently.

Harry & Meghan are the fairy tale people need right here, right now. This is going to be one off the hook wedding and promises to deliver that happily ever after ending we all deserve. 

I'm sucker for magical moments and this will not disappoint. 

RSVP for Saturday May 19th Windsor Castle - I already have!
