Here's what I know for sure: that life's happening right now. 

Yes, the clock is ticking and your time is running out. I know, I know, bummer, but it's real life. The facts. But that's why we have to juice it for all it's worth. 

That's why we have to start living RIGHT NOW, and I don't mean just getting by. I don't mean striving or settling or curling up into a ball in the gutter. 

I mean thriving. I mean bringing magic and happiness into each day. I mean loving the crap out of yourself and giving yourself permission to enjoy life. 

Yes, enjoy life! Why wait another second? Why put off your joy because of x,y,z? 

So maybe things aren't perfect - they never will be. So maybe you're working really hard to accomplish that next big thing - that's cool, but don't get bogged down in the details. 

Don't get so frustrated with your dreams/life/relationships that you forget about all the really amazing, beautiful stuff happening in your world. Do what ya gotta do, honey honey, but carry joy with you. 

Stop wasting time worrying, trying to figure things out, criticizing yourself. 

Stop thinking about the money, how you don't compare, the dream that failed. 

Just show up everyday with a little faith, a little gratitude, a little joy in your pocket. All it takes is a mustard seed, ya know, and things start happening. 

Faith + action, that's all you need. Start living now. Move in the direction of your dreams, but don't forget to look around. 

We're on a wild path of loveliness. Take off your shoes, smell the jasmine, eat a berry or two. Indulge, gorgeous one. 

You have every reason to.
