Experiences

Hello Readers,

I have written about this topic many times and I will never write enough about having great experiences. I am on the plane flying back from a cycling event that empowers wounded warriors to engage with each other and build long lasting relationships. During the first day of arrival the warriors are very isolated, yet excited to be a part of something. Many of the Warriors were not speaking to each other however, if one was paying close attention, one could see that they really want to engage but not sure how to. Fast forward to day three where all the Warriors are taking selfies, laughing, and having a great time. Who would have thought that two cycle rides over the course of two days would cause this? The answer is that it was more than the cycle ride through the city; it was an experience for all 50 Warriors. The experience to see things they never saw and meet people who have now become their friends. Money, silver, or gold could never replace that type of experience. The WIIFM (what's in it for me), was the experience to witness all of the once isolated warriors now engaged in relationships neither them nor I will never forget.

Create experiences for yourself, family, and friends. People will never forget how you made them feel.

Happiness is creating memories

Hello Readers,

As I sit here at the dealership waiting on my car to get serviced, I am thinking back on my week. Here is a quick glimpse: I received two birthday surprises, one at work and the other by my husband and close friends, I dressed up as a well-known celebrity for a trivia game, I watched my son take his first set of senior pictures, I participated in a youth lock in which had a special twist, I ministered to grateful men in prison, and that is just the big stuff. I do not mention all these to brag, I mention these to say yes even though I had a very busy week it is these types of activities I mentioned that bring me true happiness. Sure I like to shop and have materialistic things, but creating memories brings me the best feeling. The events that happened this week all brought me a sense of joy and happiness and I could not have asked for them to be any different. Being tired is only a small piece of how I feel. The total sum of how I feel is… simply full.

How are you creating memories?

Experiences

Hello Readers,

 
If you were to ask any of my friends and especially my husband they will tell you I love to be on the go. What exactly do I mean by “be on the go” you may ask?  I love to see and experience things. It could be a concert, shopping at a mall, a city, or an amusement park, the list can go on. Don't get me wrong I like material things as well, however nothing materialistic can ever replace an experience. Think about it, the experience your children will get when they go to Disney World the first time, nothing can top that. The experience your children will when they go to prom for the first time, nothing can top that. One experience I love to do is attend concerts in different cities. Yes I am one of those people who travel for concerts, why because I love the experience and because I want to. This is why there are so many lists published which say do these before you die? The authors of these various lists want the same thing I am asking of you. They want you to have experiences. Have you ever picked up one of these lists? I have my own and I do not call it a bucket list. My list is called the “list of things to do before I turn 120”. In 2015, I am knocking some of these tasks out. You may ask why? What is the big deal? Why go to a concert or why go to a soap making class (which I did in Jan of this year)? Again it is all about the experience. What experiences are you going to have for yourself, for your family, for your friends? How are you going to impact the world through different experiences in your life? Something to think about.
