You know, we all live somewhere. The city, the country, the "burbs"... And for the most part people enjoy where they live, right? Hopefully... Then you have those that live in towns that they love in every possible way. One of those towns happens to be Collinsville. Collinsville, Ct. that is. A tiny town tucked away, seriously tucked away, where people that live a mere 15 minutes away may over look. Unaware that this town happens to be one of the best towns in the world! YES, IN THE WORLD... I don't want to label anyone because I myself don't want a label. I will just call us all creators. We are creating our lives, our own ways of living. From Photography, to music, to art to tattoos... It's who we are. And this past weekend just goes to show that we are COLLINSVILLE!
This little town has been around since the early 1800's and has seen its share of ups and downs...However, recently I believe the energy is really coming alive. Take this past weekend for instance. We had a great Grand Opening, and yes, a town that's been around since the early 1800's can have a Grand Opening... People came, smiles were abundant, hugs were shared, laughs heard everyone and music to bring it all to life. We won't even mention the fire spinners, breathers and eaters... And we won't mention all the great shops that stayed open like Lasalle Market, Rootz Salon, Down Right Music and Arts and so much more!!!
We will just take a minute to reflect on what's possible when we all just put a little heart into it, when everyone takes their guard down and those that live in the 1.8 million dollar houses can co-mingle with those that rent out apartments in town. Where we are all the same yet different. Where kindness can overpower all... That, after all is what life should be about. Sharing, caring and spreading the joy of kindness... So while the above may have made no sense, stop a minute and think about one way you can make a difference... Open that door for a stranger, better yet. Just smile at someone you don't even know. That smile could bring serious joy into someones day. Don't look down, look up. Look at people when they talk, take it in... And again, smile... Smile... SMILE!!!!!! I promise that the smile you share with that one stranger will carry onto the next and through out the day...
Share it all... Enjoy it all!!! And BE IT ALL....
