live out loud

I am getting to help a 10 month old start to walk.
I get to share in the lives of the people I love... I have a group of people with whom I can bubble over with excitement about the great stuff.
I am working on something that I think is so ridiculously cool and I have contact with people in my field whom I admire.
I have new, sweet projects coming down the pike that I've been looking forward to.
I'm doing something different and unique and I'm starting to see things mesh and interconnect in ways that I didn't see possible.
I am blessed and I am so excited to get to be me.
I'm just realizing that living out loud really does mean loving out loud and loving out loud is being grateful, generous and realizing that the more we give, the more we all have.

The media is terrifying in this country. Dependability has gone out the window when it comes to the news- violence and rubbish reign.
People seem not to know how to treat one another anymore.
The economics of this country are crazy, scary and selfish.
Irresponsibility, greed, and laziness are becoming near standard.
It's easy to complain about the bad, but what does that do besides breed more negativity and ugliness? We need to change and we don't do that by bellyaching... we do that by showing people what our values are and acting accordingly.
Not condemning.
Not intimidating.
Empowering.
Simply living the best we can, living out loud and letting our joy and prosperity speak for itself.
Believing in others and helping them realize what they have to add to this world and what their path is to do so.

What are you grateful for?
What makes you feel like you're living out loud?

If you're in a funk and feel like there isn't anything that you could possibly be grateful for or can do to change, check this out:
