Cherish This Quote

"What you thought before has led up to

every choice you have made,

and this adds up to you

at this moment.

If you want to change who you are

physically, mentally, and spiritually; 

you will have to change what you think."

...Dr Patrick Gentempo

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

The world owes you nothing.

It was here first."

...Mark Twain

dreaming magic

I remember when Disneyland first opened.

Walt was standing by the Teacup ride.

Thinking & Smiling.

Can you imagine the wonders his wonderful mind was creating?

A recent trip to the happiest place in the world

reminded us why we believe in Magic!

Mr Disney, we thank you!

Celebrating our new RN grad.!!!

We are so proud of her.

There is an exciting world to experience,

and she has just unlocked the door.

As we were bursting in happiness for her,

and breaking bread together at our favorite beach restaurant,

I found our youngest family warriors at peace,

dreaming about many extraordinary future adventures...

Inspire Happy

Always.

Priti

What a beautiful way to fashionably be kind to you and the planet. I love these beautiful spring colors. And you can paint your little Priti princess guilt free!

 Priti NYC polishes are all completely non-toxic and made without toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DHB) and formaldehyde- all known carcinogenic ingredients. The luxury polishes are fast drying, chip resistant, contain a UV inhibitor, and are extremely durable and glossy. They are also completely safe for use on children and moms-to-be. Available in over 100 different shades including metallics, mattes, bright neons, rich darks, classic nudes, and everything in between, limited color selection due to ecological restraints has officially become a thing of the past.

Why does this matter?

-TOLUENE which causes rapid, shallow breathing, chemical pneumonia,
blurred vision, dry, cracked skin, and drowsiness also effects the kidneys
and the nervous system.  It may also cause an exaggerated feeling of
well-being, headache, staggering tremors, and convulsions.
                                                                                                                                                
-FORMALDEHYDE is a strong allergen and irritant to which humans have
a very low odor threshold, also a known carcinogen.  It increases airway
resistance when inhaled, probably because of local irritation and release of
inflammatory mediators. Additionally, formaldehyde is a strong contact allergen.
Acute and chronic dermatitis was once a common complaint in the beauty
parlor industry because of using formaldehyde in fingernail finishes.

-DIBUTYL PHTHALATE (DBP) which are linked to reproduction system
         problems and underdeveloped genitals in newborn boys.

Yikes, better to be safe then sorry. Now go be priti!

Cherish the DAY!

~ Our postal carrier handed me our mail the other day,

with a cheerful smile; remarking,

"The best part of this day was waking up".

I wasn't sure how to take that remark at first.

After a few moments, I replied,

" I guess if we do wake up in the morning,

we should feel very blessed".

He agreed, & drove off with a smile.

Yes, we all need to realize that even the most natural

of every day events

are gifts in our fortunate lives.

Simply, if you don't wake up...nothing else matters.

So, be thankful and greet each sunrise with a smile.

Be happy & feel privledged to have the chance

to Cherish another DAY!
