We all need time for reflection. Taking the time to reflect helps us to open our eyes and discern between what is bringing us happiness or what is no longer serving us.

During the last three months, I have found myself living life in the fast lane due to an extensive travel schedule.  With each city or country I explored, I saw a new perspective on life. I savored each and every moment and let go of any expectations. Like a five-year old child, I embraced the sun, trees, flowers, and most importantly, the people. I met so many amazing people. Each one had a story. Most were very successful in their careers, yet learned to find a balance in their life. In just being around them, you could feel their joy for life.

Once I returned home, I realized that something felt different. I was different.  I knew that I needed to process the shift that occurred within.  I shared my thoughts with a friend and then into my journal. I found I had heightened my happiness scale and there was no turning back. At the beginning of the year, I couldn’t have imagined the possibilities that have now unfolded. With an open mind, an open heart, and great clarity, I have experienced the extraordinary.

Are you clear on your dreams and open to receive them?  Are you ready to live an extraordinary life? This month I invite you to take 5 minutes a day of uninterrupted time with your journal and begin to see your dreams take flight.
