Dear kids,
I’ve been wanting to share some thoughts about things that have made (my) life beautiful because some of them are simple yet able to help you feel amazingly happy and peaceful, or even sometimes excited, when things get tough.
I have only to look into my earliest memories to see pictures that have attached themselves inside of me and carried me forward through many challenges. So many wonders that have made a difference…
Sing, hum, find your passion, and abandon yourself fully to the power & beauty of art that surrounds you—music, paintings, sculpture, buildings, gardens, stories and more…
Laugh at anything silly that lightens your heart, especially when shared with a special friend…
Take time to listen to someone you really care about so deeply that you realize, in that moment, that nothing else matters and your own troubles are small…
Look around you and find something that brings you JOY, a smile, and a sense of wonder…
For me, it’s the simple but profound things that touch and move me forward… a sunset, a sky sparkling with stars, my dog’s eyes looking into and trusting mine, sitting with friends around a campfire—or anywhere, really, and fireflies lighting the summer nights like blips of warm light.
Treasure the special moments and people that help make you YOU, and you will light the world brighter than anything you can imagine!
Always,
Your Mimi
