Carpe Diem!🌼 πŸ“š

Recently, I  went to the DMV area to attend the funeral of a family friend. She had just retired and in the middle of a kitchen renovation and sadly didn't see the end product or enjoy her retirement.  She had gone in for a routine corrective surgery and something went horribly wrong. 
Carpe diem!   In today’s rush, we all think too much, seek too much, want too much, and forget about the joy
of just being...- Eckhart Tolle

Despite the saddness.....It was wonderful to be back and visit with family and friends. 
My brother and I went to get my Mother's headstone designed.  As we traveled along we began to talk about the people from the town in Jamaica where we grew up.  The characters were varied and funnier than any comedy club act.  Then my brother said, "Dawn why don't you write a book about it?"  And I thought, why not??!!!
I could tell my brother had been thinking about this adventure for me because he even had the title for the book all set and ready to go!

I  am thinking and creating a rough outline. Let's see what happens....looks like an awesome adventure!πŸ“š

My beautiful niece got married last November to her handsome prince!  It was an amazing, magical, intimate ceremony and reception. Only family and a few very close friends.  The enchanting, magical reception was held in her parents' backyard.
The newly weds were invited to be featured in this bridal magazine and then landed the cover!  What a treat!!!πŸ’ž

Happy New Year!!!πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ


Happy New Year 2021!!!πŸŽ‰
We are living in unprecedented times. One day we were carefree and had soooo many plans, hopes, dreams...and the next , everything turned upside down. 
But do not be defeated...take it one day at a time and strive to be positive. 
Despite all the challenges of our world, I am grateful that my year started off on an awesome, positive note!  So I have a lot to be thankful for!  How about you?
Reminder: 
Happiness cannot be traveled to,  owned,  earned,  worn or consumed. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.- Denis Waitley
πŸ’žMake this year your best ever!πŸ™
