This weekend I took myself out to a movie and lunch. Can you believe it?

Sometimes you need to take a time out and do something nice for yourself. By going out to the movie and lunch alone I was able to truly just be myself and have a lot of self reflection.

I took myself to Downtown Disney and saw Wall-E with a bunch of kids and then enjoyed lunch at a small asian restaurant. I also bought myself the cute umbrella I have wanted from the Cirque store. (I am a great date.)

I do recommend you go see Wall-E very cute movie about love as well as a nice social message. I was surprised Disney allowed this social message to be in their film. (I won’t ruin it) Many people parents in the audience were making negative comments about it. Of course these were parents who obviously suffered from this social disconnect.

It was also nice to have the time way because it reminded me how lucky I am to have Justin and all my family and friends in my life. Sure it was nice to have the time alone but I knew I was coming home to Justin. It is a lot easier to be alone in a world where couples rule when you know you will go home and be part of a couple again.

I hope if you are single or in a couple, you will take a few hours and take just yourself out on a date. Enjoy the time and treat yourself right!

Wouldn’t life just be easier if someone gave us a plan? Think about it. Dorothy lands in a fighting new world and is handed a simple plan, follow the yellow brick road. No matter how scary it gets, she knows all she has to do is follow the yellow brick road.

What is your yellow brick road? Do you have a vision that you can think of each day that helps you move forward and know where you are headed? When times get hard, can you think or even look at this vision to keep you motivated and headed in the right direction?

Having a vision is so important to your life. We need to know where we are going. This simple plan can help you feel motivated, purposeful, and directed. You design exactly what you are working towards so each day is just a step in the right direction. Whenever you feel lost, you can always find your way again by thinking of your vision.

Take some time today to think where you are headed. It doesn’t have to be in 20 years, it could be a year from now, 5 years or maybe 10. Just a simple vision of where you want your life to be.

When you have this plan, find something visual to represent it. This way you can be reminded of it each day and when ever you need a little motivation, you can look at it once again.

I have quite a few items that help me know where I am headed. Once of my favorite and most recent is my shining pair of ruby red Converse shoes. Why do I have a pair ruby red Converse shoes? That is another adventure I will share with you soon…

I mentioned how much I loved the book earlier this month. I went this weekend to see the movie with my mom. I knew she would love it and it would be a great day together.

 The movie was great!! I am a fan of almost everyone in the movie so I figured it would not disappoint me and I was correct. You will laugh and you will cry. It is great!

 This is a great movie to see about moving your life forward. Sometimes when you get stuck or lost in life, you just stand still. This movie will inspire you to find ways to move forward and live your life!

 GO SEE IT!
