Today’s prize is a signed copy of “Run Away to the Keys” (US residents only). Lyons! Will be sending you an email shortly! PS – It’s time again to announce yesterday’s winner of a Kindle version of their choice of one of the “Florida Keys Novels”. So if someone is trying to steal your joy or “sparkle” just remember: you have the power to choose if they do or if they don’t. So instead of looking backwards, I stay in the present moment and plan for the future. The things I might have accomplished – I can’t imagine! Or maybe I might not be where I am today. I wish sometimes that I had been like this when I was younger. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but I CHOOSE whether it affects me or not. Now that I’m older, I’m getting so much better about letting people’s comments and remarks just slide right off of me. It kept me away from sharing the gift and talents I have because if someone said one negative comment about a project or an idea I had, I immediately went into self-doubt mode. Kept me from goals that I felt that I was supposed to accomplish and wanted to go after.

This kept me for a long time from going after the things in life that made me excited. I can’t really pinpoint where this line of thought came from but I always felt that if I made other people happy then I would always be happy. Since I was a little girl, I’ve always had this desire to please other people. Have you ever been in a situation where you are so happy or excited about someone or something? Then someone comes along and says something that makes you doubt everything you are doing and thinking? Maybe this hasn’t happened to you but I’ll raise my hand because it has happened to me. Find that truth, live that truth, and everything else will come.I love this quote! It has a lot of meaning for everyone because there are times in life when we allow others to take away our happiness – our sparkle.

That's what your soul was put on this earth to be.
