ABOUT ME

To-Be List: Be kind. Be receptive and open. Be joyful. Celebrate others achievements and accomplishments. Be thoughtful of others. Be respectful of other people, situations, time and things. Be forgiving of people, situations and yourself. Be grateful and content with what you have, it is always enough. Be responsible for your thoughts, emotions, body and actions. Be funny, laugh a lot – even at yourself. Be positive, hopeful and learn to assume the best. Be generous with everything especially your time, energy, and money. Be curious, creative and actively filled with wonder. Be an active listener and hear what is not being said as much as what is not. Be open to change and new perspectives. Be a life long learner. Never stop growing and humbly expanding your knowledge. (http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-6088/The-NotToDo-List-15-Habits-to-Stop-Now.html)
