April Fool's Day

"Today - April Fool's Day - is a day that for centuries has been associated with high spirits and merriment. It's the perfect day for us to remember the importance of lightening up. A lighthearted sense of spontaniety is closely aligned with Spirit. Think of the brother who makes you laugh or the friend who will call you up and ask you to meet her on the spur of the moment for an ice-cream cone. Don't you just love to be in their company? Lighthearted people possess the special gift, as dancer Judith Jamison tells us, of being able to open their hearts to life and turn on their creativity. Perhaps it is because these special people still honor the child within..."

--Simple Abundance

"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly without fear for newer and richer experiences."

--Eleanor Roosevelt

So, if a prank is pulled on you, today - laugh! As you make dinner, tonight - turn the music up and dance! Tell someone you love them. Smile. Take joy in a little spontaniety!

Wishing you the courage to love out loud today!
