Do you know what your soul is capable of?

This year I have only one New Year's Resolution. There are lots of things that I would like to do, I would like to be healthier, cut back on diet soda and prioritize my life better. These are not my resolutions. My only resolution is to be happy. So, no matter what choice I make, if it means eating chocolate instead of riding the bike, I win.

The best way I've found to be happy is to express love. It's hard for me to do this. Anyone who knows my history can understand that. If you don't you can find most of it here.

My cousin got married this weekend and I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful bride. As I watched her dance with her father and her mother and brother look on with pride, I was so honored that she asked me to be a witness to her joy. I could have felt single and lonely (and OLD). I didn't because I was expressing love, fully and consciously.

It's scary to be vulnerable, to give someone a part of you and not know what they are going to do with it. It's a terrifying prospect to trust someone. Yet, if you don't do it, can you ever say you really lived?

So, my heart and my soul have teamed up on my head. Living outwardly via love and joy are my credo of the day. Have some of my heart... if you dare.
