I mean, there are worst things in life than having to be a grown up right?  If you can name one, please tell me! 

I remember that I couldn’t wait to grow up.  I thought grown ups were cool because they could make important decisions.  They could drive.  They had money and could buy things and they didn’t have homework.  The good thing is the grown ups in my life made it look easy.  I knew there had to be something hard about life, but I just couldn’t figure it out.

Then I went to high school and I couldn’t wait to be in college.  Then I went to college and I couldn’t wait to be out.  And then I got out and wanted to go back!  Its how we are after all.  The realities in front of us aren’t always as fun as we dreamt them to be.  The good is good, but the bad is sometimes unmanageable.  I learned that we have to capture the moments.  Or better yet, let moments capture us!

I love to have “big sister” chats with college students or those who have just graduated. I love to share with them some of the realities I’ve had to learn the hard way and maybe some of the advice I wish someone would have given me a head ups up

These next 8 minutes could change a lot of perspective for you…just watch it.  Its worth the break in your day!

Today launches a new series…I’ve got a list of topics.  If you have one you want me to tackle, let me know and I’ll put it in the mix or stop back by the neighborhood and let’s see what we can uncover.
