Are You Creating the Best Summer?

Please join me for the next 40 days in creating the best summer of your life. What if this were the last summer of your life? What would you do, what would you think, what would you say, and what would you choose? For the next 40 days, ask yourself each day, "What could I do today to ensure that this will be a memorable day, a special day...a life-changing day?" This is the time to "claim the moment." If you've forgotten how, read the chapter in The Best Year of Your Life. What moments could you bask in, indulge all your senses in with a friend, a co-worker, or your kids?

I've been completely turned on and inspired just being on the Internet looking at making my plans for my upcoming visit to Turkey and then my amazing journey with many of you on the Voyage Into the Light cruise. Just making plans is exhilarating, imagining the future that awaits.

So whether you're making travel plans, doing a summer activity, or just following your regular routine, take a moment, close your eyes and ask the highest part of you what you could do today to make this day memorable, meaningful and inspiring. You may choose to call a friend and read them a Rumi poem. Or you might take an extra five minutes on your walk to talk to one of the trees (I did that yesterday -- it was so much fun). You may host a special barbecue next Sunday or invite some friends over to watch The Shadow Effect and embrace one of your long-forgotten aspects. :-) And if you feel like taking a risk, you might even give an extra extra extra long hug to your son, daughter, partner or friend. And for those of you who are blessed with a seemingly difficult challenge right now, remember that after every darkness, there comes enormous amounts of light. Through this difficult time, take an area of your life and make it fantastic, exciting, inspiring -- the best ever.

Make a commitment to join me for the next 40 days in making this the most special and memorable summer of your life. You deserve it. And remember that the best summer of your life will be a collection of the best days of your life.

Mediocrity or greatness? You choose.

With love and respect,

Debbie Ford
