Life In a Snowglobe!

Ahhh...Snow globes! What beautiful pieces of art they are? For decades, snow globes have been an intricate staple in most gift or specialty shops around the world waiting for a collector or admirer to purchase. Most sitting upon a shelf or mantel with a metal or wooden foundation with meticulously sculpted homes, characters or floral arrangements inside of a pool of liquid, that every now and then yields beautiful white or glittery flakes when shaken. Oh, how peaceful and serene it must be inside a snow globe...or not! Snow globes only seem to be eye-catching and calm when they are left untouched, because this is when you can really see the amazing details of the crafter's work. However, there is always an irresistible urge to shake it up in order to see the flakes whisk around the globe. When I look at snow globes, I can't help but relate it to "real" life situations. I'm compelled to think that life in a snow globe is not much different than life outside of one. Here's my point...most times we resolve to live our lives in peace, harmony and in the pursuit of happiness and success, which I believe is a commonality amongst all people. The only differences may be our foundations. Nonetheless, we are all beautifully sculpted pieces of art with a specific life purpose. However, every now and then when we are going through life's journey's someone or something comes along and "shakes" us up inside of our globe/being, whether it be related to past relationships or financial hardships, the white flakes are whipping all around to a point where we cannot see our way. But, the awesome piece to this puzzle is that eventually all the "mess" floating around starts to subside, you can now start to see and think with clarity, peace is restored. So, be mindful the next time that you see a snow globe that no matter how hard you shake it, the result will always be the same...PEACE!

You've just been MixXed....not "Shaken"!
