The BEST Memories You Can Treasure
On May 15th, 11:55pm, my life changed. ‘Course, I didn’t know it then! It all started with a promise I made to my eldest 2 months ago: when the midnight showing of Star Trek: Into the Darkness came out, I’d allow her to go.

First off, the movie itself was spell-binding. During one key scene, Kirk tells Spock, ” I have no idea what I’m supposed to do, I only know…what I *can* do.” That spoke volumes to me personally.

Well, sometimes you just *do*. You go with your gut. You say to yourself, the worst thing that could happen is I don’t succeed *yet*.
Another quote that was shared was “Your path is yours to walk and yours alone.” How true has *that* been in my life (and I’ll bet, in yours too!) Because no matter who we choose to listen to, what actions we choose to take….*we’re* the main ones to either benefit or suffer directly from them.
