“…that’s what I do every morning. I get up and I drink my own Kool-aid, before I drink anybody else’s.”

My friend Deantoni and I had a conversation about following our dreams and ignoring the doubts. You know, the evil voices inside telling you ‘you can’t do it.’ And today, this is my theme. It’s true, right? We have to follow our hearts and trust ourselves. It’s time to recognize and know our own desires before we let ANYONE ELSE say a word. Wake up and say, I CAN DO THIS! Even when, or should I say, especially when that nasty voice in the back of our minds is being contrary. (The negative nellies in our lives apply as well.)

GO DREAMS! AND KOOL-AID, OUR OWN KOOL-AID!!

SIDE NOTE: AMAZING. I just made sure that nellies was the proper spelling and not nelly’s and this is where Google took me: CLICK

My Nanna RoRo’s laughter is one of my favorite sounds on the planet. My mother’s too. Once you get these two going (or actually any of my aunts) ribs and bellies are sure to ache with joy. A day well spent. A moment to look back on for an instant smile. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Allow me to set up the scene. Christmas day. A crazy amount of desserts. No family should have this much dessert. It is a waste. In fact, I’d put down a lot of money that at least half of those desserts are in the freezers of my nanna, my mother and my aunts waiting for the next family gathering. So here we all are talking and laughing about Christmas Dessert.

Isabella overwhelmed at the dessert table. Note: Not all dessert is out yet.
