Happy Luscious Hearted Monday

As I hope for a peaceful week for myself, my family, my friends and my readers I find my self overreaching, setting goals, making lists, but sometimes, not listening. This little list is a good reminder for me that the best things in life are the simple things... dream big, but take all of the little steps to get from here to --------------------------> there.

I'm reposting this from the blog of Gretchen Rubin author of The Happiness Project.
