"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that; for what the world needs are people who have come alive."
I come alive... seeing others come alive, sipping an iced soy caramel machiato, exploring diverse cultures, relaxing by a fireplace, taking long walks in the rain, gazing at sunsets, gaining fresh insights, thinking creatively, doing extreme activities, meeting extreme people, investing time into those closest to me, sharing a meal that I made with friends, when my husband and I worship together, going for a long run early in the morning, receiving a myspace comment, listening to great music, learning something I never knew, feeling like my life is inspiring others, reading a great book, picking fresh flowers, eating European chocolate, playing with children, when my loft is organized, laughing passionately, attempting something new that might fail, dreaming about who I will become.
