Are you "not so much"? Are you no longer "all that and a bag of chips"? Has your "get up and go"..."got up and went"?
Just Saw "Alice in Wonderland". A central question was "Is this the real Alice?" She looked like Alice - a bit older; she sounded like Alice but she didn't act like Alice.
This Alice wasn't as curious, wasn't as believing (I'll wake up soon) and wasn't as adventurous. Society and its rules had caused her to conform - had begun to tame her spirit.
The Hatter said she was Alice, but not much. She had lost her "muchness".
So again, have you lost your "muchness" Are you no longer the real you? Have you settled and let "society" make all the rules and bend you to them? Do you no longer ask questions out of curiosity? Have you kept growing but stopped learning and doing? (Some would question whether you can grow if you stop learning.)
Have you buried the dream or placed it in the back of the top shelf in the closet. Are you afraid to "slay the Jaberwocky" or whatever your dragon is? You don't want to be the Champion?!?
Life is about love and championing causes. Something - a person or a cause or a value - beyond just you. A cause that inspires you; something that will drive you long after you've become prosperous. A cause you can create legacy around. An adventure where you think of at least "6 impossible things a day". Your "muchness".
When Alice woke from her dream, she saw her world in a different way. The resources (people and opportunity) had existed in her reality but she had been too blinded by rules and roles to see it. It was all within her reach. To be sure, there would be scars and scares but the dream was worth it all.
Is it time to be the champion again? To break out of your shell. To soar like the butterfly and not crawl like the caterpillar. To be free and smile like the Cheshire Cat!!
Go get back your "muchness" and be "all that and a bag of chips"!
Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most exciting times of the year. There are so many things for them to look forward to; trick-or-treating, costume parties, hay rides, and feeling scared! The excitement builds as kids try to make the biggest decision of their young lives, what to be for Halloween. The hardest part about making this decision is the hundreds of choices there are in kids and Toddlers Halloween Costumes. There are scary costumes, funny costumes, hero costumes, character costumes, and animal costumes. Sometimes it is easiest to purchase a costume without the child being present because looking through them can be overwhelming for a child.
I usually purchase kids & Toddlers Halloween Costumes myself. Each year has been a success. In our hometown, the kids walk in a parade through town during school hours with their costumes on. It is a really big deal. The teachers dress up, the kids dress up, and the younger siblings dress up. Taking photographs of the kids in their costumes makes the memories last forever. The one piece sleeper type costumes work wonderfully for toddlers. They usually have a hood as part of the costume that has ears or eyes attached to it. They are also warm, which works great for trick-or-treating on a cold October night.
Older kids love to play the part. They are more aware of what is on television, so a lot of them want to be a specific character. What a great opportunity for kids to use their imagination. A lot of kids will use a character costume year round. Once Halloween is over my kids play outside with their costumes. Buying kids & Toddlers Halloween Costumes is actually like buying a toy that they can use for a long time, as well as being recycled for other siblings to use in the future. Helping your child wow his or her classmates with the coolest costume will be something your child will never forget. Everyone loves to remember their best costumes.
No matter what your child is interested in, seeing the excitement in their eyes when you are helping them get ready is fantastic. Buying great kids & Toddlers Halloween Costumes is worth the money because before you know it, they are grown up and no longer participating in the games of childhood. However, the costumes are snatched up quickly, so don't waste any more time. It will be Halloween before you know it and your kids will be so excited. Find the perfect costume for your kids while there is still time.
There's no excitement like the excitement of turning 6! So, it is time to get some WOW gifts for a 6-year-old's birthday.
What do you think a 6-year-old would love to get - besides the cake, the ice cream and other great food? For a little girl, it might be a colorful vanity with mirrors that talk. For a little boy, how about an electric train with tracks, caboose and engineer. For a girl or a boy, a radio would be a big hit. Also, a Mickey Mouse watch and coloring books.
Settle back and let us look at some WOW gifts.
Surprise Gift - We will start with this because 6-year-old are crazy about it. The surprise gift is a box wrapped in birthday gift paper and ribbon. Inside, there are fun, inexpensive gifts.

Balloon Ride - This is simply the best gift ever. There are many companies that offer balloon rides. Reserve early because they fill up fast.

Twilight lights up our hearts and minds. Nature's twilight surely does, but we are talking about Stephanie Meyer's novel Twilight and its movie adaptation. Twilight tells the story of a high school girl Bella who comes to live with her father in the rainy Forks after her parents' divorce. Life is full of surprises for Bella as she falls in love with her schoolmate Edward who actually is a vampire. These brilliant characters took away the whole world by storm and have become the latest party favorites of Americans. Following Harry Potter, birthday and Halloween parties, high school and college parties are now being based on Twilight themes.
Start your party preparations by giving out Twilight based personalized invites to your friends. Give away lovely place card holders and announcing the date cards. Inform them to dress up like their favorite Twilight character and get them geared up for the vampire effect.
Fill your house with posters, pictures and action figures of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Have them smiling at you from all directions. Spread strong scents everywhere as vampires love fresh fragrance. Make the room as eerie as possible and try to schedule the party for after dusk. Play the Twilight movie soundtrack or the movie DVD, but make sure it forms only a part of the attraction.
Keeping your guests occupied during the party is an art every host will want to master. There are scores of Twilight based games which your guests will love. Twilight jeopardy is a perfect choice. Read out dialogues from the book and have friends guessing the character. Vampires are cold, so maybe you can float red apples in ice cold water and make people collect as many apples as possible. Doesn't this send a chill through your spine?
Twilight party favors include dinner sets being decorated with pictures of Twilight. Dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins all have your favorite stars staring at you. That is a collector's item and you own a cutlery you can boast of. Twilight party wares are available too. Give your personal Twilight touch by making the house as reddish as possible.
Food is the heartbeat of any party. Spread an exotic red dinner for your friends to enjoy. Red wine, apple juice, red velvet cakes are all some easily available items. Italian cuisine can be served to show loyalty to the book. The Cullens cook Italian for Bella and also she orders the mushroom ravioli when she is on her first dinner date with Edward. Remember that is the night Bella discovers about Edward, the vampire.
Party giveaways are very essential in the way that friends consider them close to their heart. Twilight party favors are aplenty. You can give Twilight key chains, small spiral note books, candle holders, bottle openers and even Twilight theme lip balms.
Have dress code for your party and you can tell your guests to dress up like their favorite characters. Plastic fangs are also a good choice and get that perfect vampire look. Deep red nail polish reminds you of Alice Cullen, who is the party organizer of the Cullen house. Throw a Twilight theme party, call over all those Twilight maniacs you know and have a blast.
