The most memorable people in my life are crazy. Funny thing: those people are also the happiest. You don’t need to be crazy to be happy but it sure can’t hurt.

Fun fact: Your total calorie burn for the day is 2,000 and approximately 400 of those calories burned are from brain activity — 20%*.
And the harder your brain works, the more your brain consumes in calories. Shoot, after 40 minutes on the spin cycle I burn a disappointing 150. If I do nothing but think harder about…my favorite gelato flavors…that might mean in no time I should think my way into a bikini without breaking a sweat.

9 Fun Things to do in October
It’s time to stow the flip-flops up north, but on borderline days I’ll still wear them for spite.
When the weather starts to chill it’s a good excuse for grown-ups to do fun things — with or without children — and channel their inner child.
Here are a few of my favorites:
What are some of your favorite things to do during the fall?

Quote: Mark Twain
“Mom, can we go to the zoo?” says the five-year-old.
“Tomorrow,” says the mother.
“Mom, can I have a pony?”
“Later.”
“Dad, when can we get a red sports car like Tommy’s dad?”
“Someday.”
Parents fall back on three textbook answers to nagging questions:
“Later,” “Tomorrow,” and “Someday”.
Why?
Derek and his friend Jane.
SPOTLIGHT: As often as possible I want to shine a light on some person, place or organization who epitomizes the Be F.A.T. way of life. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Derek.
Turns out Derek, from Canada, is a traveling Parrothead. This concert was Derek’s ninety-seventh, he said, as in 9-7. I was impressed, and then quick to point out that if he’d put the money spent following J.B. and the band in the bank — tickets, travel, lodging, food — assuming a conservative compound interest rate, a sizeable nest-egg would finance his new sailboat. In cash.
Before you make a wish for something frivolous or outrageous think about the consequences of what you’re willing to give up or give away SHOULD your wish come true.

Emerson also said:
“God made yeast, as well as dough, and loves fermentation just as dearly as he loves vegetation.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844
There ya go. God. Flowers. Beer. Emerson.

You might be surprised to learn that you have more aptitude and abilities than you know.
We hold on to this limiting belief that every body is better than us. They had it is easier growing up, an unfair advantage, therefore they got what we didn’t. Bull.
All we need is to shift our mindset and believe that if we take action things can and will change. Being lazy or feeling stuck or having fears are speed bumps and caution signs we create to keep us from having to change.
For the brave and curious change is exactly what we must do. To put yourself in a position to be the person or do the thing that makes you unique.
But I’m stuck HERE. Set in my ways. With my bumper stickers. Nope. Not buying it.
Everyone has it within them to change. Even you.
Lose the bad habits.
Bad attitudes.
Bad associations.
Doing so frees up the space to allow real growth and change to happen.
