"I want to live a life that sizzles, pops and makes me laugh out loud.  I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even and realize that my life is a collection of meetings, pop cans, errands, receipts and dirty dishes.   I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car with the windows open, wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and painting walls the exact color of the sky right now.  I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down. I want to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."  Shauna Niequist


Do you ever feel like you don't live in the exact moment?  Do you feel like you need to take a big deep breath very often?  Do you ever feel like you are not living your best life?  I think we could all raise our hands right about now.

On a personal note, as I have grown older, I realize that the life I have and have always possessed is happening right in front me.  In our minds, we ponder on becoming smarter, stronger, more organized and just about more of everything.  Why does age help us see more clearly on who we don't have to strive to be but instead on who we already are?  As John Lennon stated, Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."  There is nothing more beautiful than living in every moment.  The big moments of life are here.  They are always surrounding us if we just open our eyes to these Present Moments.

Let's dance and shimmer and scrawl out our stories across the sky, like He taught us to.  Let's echo His words and let our lives speak these words. It is Good! -Shauna Niequist 



"Cold Tangerines is a collection of stories  about God,  about life, and about the thousands of daily ways in which an awareness of God changes and infuses everything.
