My name is Veronica Hay and I am an inspirational author. I have been producing a daily inspirational post for the past 12 years and have received hundreds of requests from my subscribers. Over the years, I have noticed that each person is really asking for the same thing, just in various forms and through different means. This prompted me to take some time to really think about what it was that I wanted to give these amazing people. If I could offer them a perfect day, what would that look like? And so, I came up with the following piece entitled...

My Wish For You Today

That you take some time to close your eyes and IMAGINE and DREAM, so big and so deep, that you become like the caterpillar, who emerges as the butterfly.

That you LAUGH today, harder than you have ever laughed before, so hard, that your sides ache, and tears stream down your beautiful, glistening face.

That you LEARN something new today, something so utterly amazing, that it shakes you up, and rocks your world.

That you SAVOR the little things in your day today, your first cup of coffee, snuggling with your puppy, your baby's sighs, your loved ones embrace.

That you SMELL one magnificent flower, so close and so intensely, that your nose rejoices to be a part of such an extraordinary face.

That you SEE, really see, your own soul reflected in someone else's eyes, and you don't run away, even though you'd like to.

That you WALK today, with a firm step, and a confident stride, as if you are really going somewhere, because you are.

That you PRETEND you are rich and witty and wise, whatever it is you are wanting to be, act as if, pretend it now.

That you FORGIVE everyone who has ever hurt you, and you understand the deeper purpose of all your pain.

That you really SMILE at someone today, as though they were your long lost lover come home again to steal your heart.

That you TASTE everything in your life today, the food, the wine, the rain drops, the snow flakes, each other, with your eyes closed, and your senses fully open.

That you PLAY today, with all the innocence and abandon of a sweet child, unaware of anything else, but this precious moment.

That you ALLOW yourself to just BE today, whatever your heart calls you to be, and DO only those things that inspire your soul.

That you tell the truth, and keep your word, and judge no man.

That you FORGET today, forget your age, forget your past, forget your aches and pains. And begin to REMEMBER, who you really are, and why you came here, and how very much you are loved.
