Hello friends, and welcome to the most secret... most magical place... on the entire internet. You are welcome here... to sit and listen to a little whisper of the infinite possibilities that live within YOUR HEART at all times. Who you are matters, and you have so much to bring to the world -- never forget that!
You were born on this planet
Only one of you exists
You matter so much
You have so many gifts
Not one person alive
Sees the universe like you
There's not much I know
But this much is true
Who you are is important
Your dreams are not silly
So keep walking that path
Even when it gets hilly
Each up and each down
A lesson you learn
A new opportunity exists
Around every single turn
Don't let go of ideas
They are meant to stay alive
As you nurture them with love
They start to thrive
And what starts as a glimmer
Will burn as a spark
And the light in your soul
Will brighten the dark
The more glimmers that rise
The more light we will see
The more people will bring
Their unique creativity
A ripple in a pond
It starts very small
But soon all that joy
Is shared with the all
It only takes a single
Person who decides to decide
That they won't live small anymore
That they weren't meant to hide
And as that blossoming happens
A flower so rare
The beauty, unimaginable
Extending infinite care
To all who are part
Of this cosmic river above
And we keep flowing on
Powered by that infinite love.

I realized the link may not work, so hear are the lyrics:
Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it. I know they’re wrong, wait and see. Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see? Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it’s probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it.
It’s something that I’m supposed to be. Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

A reminder that we all need a little magic and surprise in our lives and to not let the heaviness of the world weigh on our souls.
As a former and reluctant city kid who always dreamed of the forests, I am filled with unimaginable joy and gratitude that I get to raise my kids in a place where weekend hikes are more the norm than not, where they decided they wanted camping trips instead of birthday parties, and where discovering mushrooms, bugs, and wild creatures is far more exciting than any video game!
