In this Shower Sprinkle, I remind you that life itself is the miracle. When we slow down, take off our blinders, and open our hearts, we begin to see the beauty that’s always been right in front of us — and within us.
I share heartfelt reflections from my week of service through my organization, Little Moments, Big Dreams Celebrations, bringing joy to families and kids in hospitals. Through my stories of gratitude, giving, and grace, I invite you to live from your heart space, choose joy, and remember that every breath, every connection, and every act of kindness is a miracle in motion.
✨ You are the gift. You are the light. And life is the greatest miracle of all.
💛 Takeaways:
- How to shift from your head to your heart and truly see the beauty around you
- The healing power of gratitude and giving
- Why even small acts of kindness create ripple effects of hope
- How to find joy and purpose — even during hard times
- Remembering that you are a gift to the world

our eyes, and just see thebeauty in this world and what's
really happening right in frontof us and seeing the beauty in

(01:27):
I love it.
And I'm saying that, that evenwhen we're going through hard
times, life is just such a gift.
Sometimes those hard times aremeant to teach us lessons.
That we get to grow from, andthen we get to share it with the
(01:48):
world and we get to help others.
Isn't it beautiful how that justaligns?
And I'm not saying painfulexperiences are fun, you know, I

But I'm telling you, look whereI am now and look what I get to
do.
I get to speak on this podcast.
(02:09):
I get to do parties for kids inthe hospital.
I get to run an organization andconnect with the community, and
connect with people in the worldthrough my podcast.
Isn't that a gift?
That there's so much beauty inthe world and that we're not
aware, we're even able to openour eyes to see that?
(02:29):
What if you start living fromyour heart?
Start getting outta your headand living from your heart space
and opening it up to receivelove and to fill the love and
the world.
I am saying this, this is anexperience that just happened to
me this week, is you, you know,when I started running the
organization, I have greatvolunteers.
(02:51):
Little moments.
Big dream celebration is trulywhat sparks me, what lights me
up, bringing joy to kids duringthese experiences.
Because I've been on the otherside of it.
I know what it feels like to layin a hospital bed, I know what
it feels like to not have anyenergy to do anything.
(03:11):
But you know what the cool partis?
We can still bring them theseglimmers, these sparkles, these
little joy filled moments thatjust shifts your energy and
shifts how they heal.
And it just shifts the wholefamily dynamic of what's
happening in the room.
(03:32):
I follow this girl on Instagramand many of you may know her.
It's Bree stronger than Cancer,and this is a young girl who is
on hospice and people around theworld are donating to them and
she has tons of followers andgiving the family experiences
and.
Yes, it is very heartbreakingand very sad, and my heart
(03:53):
breaks for this family who islosing a child.
Absolutely breaks.
It is something, one of thethings that we don't really like
to talk about and we've lostkids and we still, you know,
connect with those families.
But here's what's happeningthrough this.
People are reaching out andgiving this family.
(04:14):
Experiences.
So she's not, they're not justlaying there.
Yes, they do have bad momentsand bad days, but they're
bringing as much joy to her andto the family and to the
siblings as they can, andthey're celebrating so much.
And that's the thing is we canfind joy in all the little
(04:38):
things.
Look around, you find something.
What something in your house?
What lights you up?
Do you have a car?
Does that light you up?
There's just so much gratitude,but what also happened is
there's a family in my hometownthat is going through an
experience of there being placedon hospice, and it's
(05:00):
heartbreaking and I can't evenwrap my mind or imagine what
this family is going through.
And what the parents are goingthrough of just knowing that
they're losing a child.
But here's what the beautifulpart is.
(05:20):
When we open our eyes, we get tohelp them.
We get to give them a chance toexperience something that's
going to bring them joy.
So it's not all sadness.
How freaking cool is that?
