Hello from Panera Bread!

WOW! It's been almost four hours and I'm still sitting here in Panera Bread. I've guzzled my third cup of hot green tea and surprisingly, my bum is not asleep (the chairs aren't designed for an outing likes this). There is a group of four young professionals sitting to my right. The three girls are dressed in dark suits and the only male is dressed in a shirt and tie. His tie lacks personality and so does their conversation. I think they work in telephone sales.

To each his own, I declare to the world! Let the telephone salespeople enjoy what they do and let me continue, day by day, with a few Panera Bread visits in between to get zen with my creative self....

I wanted to share some of my favorite messages/mantras and see if you have any of your own.

Please, I hope you chuckle a little at my cheesiness and that this blog sparks something good within you.

You can't have the sunshine without having rain.

Chocolate cake is one of life's pleasures.

Happiness is a choice.

Sometimes you don't have to know where you're going to be headed in the right direction (okay, okay...this came from a fortune cookie, but I loved it and wanted to share)

Sweat off the stress.

Live Deliciously.

Practice positive intention.

Quality vs. Quantity...does quantity ever work out the way you hope for?

Change your mind.
