<strong>GRATEFULNESS FRIDAY GIVEAWAY!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This giveaway was actually supposed to happen LAST Friday, but because of being a very busy (but grateful!) bee, I postponed it until today. And I believe it was a blessing in disguise, because the inspiration I had for today&#8217;s question to enter the giveaway came to me on a run just this past week ;-)<\/p>\n<p>The past few weeks have blessed me with so much positive support from all of you. A HUGE shout out to Brande of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/victoryvintageb.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victory Vintage<\/a> for giving me words of encouragement when I needed them most.<\/p>\n<p>And to Ana Marie Cris: Your comments on my blog posts &#8212; especially the one where I relay what I learned from a very <a href=\"http:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/2010\/11\/how-to-learn-from-negative-experiences\/#comments\" target=\"_blank\">negative experience of having my car broken into last fall<\/a> &#8212; were SO supportive and fueled the flame that is Sammy Davis Vintage.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve noticed a few new followers to this site, which makes me super excited! Thanks and hello to Em of <a href=\"http:\/\/mandemstyle.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M &amp; Em Style<\/a> &#8212; so glad you&#8217;re stopping by and saying hello!

I don&#8217;t get them often and when I do I am so stoked because I know that I did something in my post to inspire your words.<\/p>\n<p>And today, I&#8217;d like to thank the Gratefulness Friday Giveaway sponsor Simone of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/Erstwhilestyle?ref=top_trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erstwhile Style<\/a> for all of her support of Sammy Davis Vintage and of course, working as a vintage seller to spread the love of self-expression and fabulous fashion.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve know Simone for about two years &#8212; we first met at the Manhattan Vintage Show.

It was probably the most adorable, inspiring scene I&#8217;ve witnessed all week &#8212; and what inspired me to write today&#8217;s Gratefulness Friday story on <strong>&#8220;channeling your inner child.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember when you were young and the world felt like such a wonderful place? We had no fears, we had no judgements, we had no preconceived expectations. Everyone &amp; everything was equal in our minds.<\/p>\n<p>Because we had<strong> no fears,<\/strong> we&#8217;d climb that tree to the tippy top and declare ourselves <strong>&#8220;heroes of the day.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because we had <strong>no judgements<\/strong>, we&#8217;d play with <strong>anyone on the playground<\/strong> who&#8217;d combine their imagination with ours to create amazing visuals and situations using nothing more than what was available at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>Because we had <strong>no expectations<\/strong>, if someone asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, we&#8217;d rattle off the <strong>most &#8220;difficult&#8221; professions to achieve:<\/strong> Doctor, lawyer, firefighter, teacher, musician, actor, PRESIDENT!<\/p>\n<p>Children are invincible beings. Not invincible in sense of physical immortality, but invincible in the sense of <strong>emotional confidence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The musical circle I witnessed yesterday reminded me that children just <strong>don&#8217;t feel AWKWARD like us adults can and often do.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine you and 10 friends gathering in Central Park to sing and play musical instruments. Probably wouldn&#8217;t happen unless you were all professionally trained vocalists and musicians, right? But since you&#8217;re most likely not the next Taylor Swift, your<em> adult ego says &#8220;no&#8221; to the simple joys of gathering together to sing in a public setting.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I saw such clear &amp; confident joy in these Kindergarten-aged school children gathering together to express creativity &#8230; none of them were holding back their singing from fear or passing judgement on others for their lack of &#8220;talent.&#8221; They were just being for the sake of being, no expectations.<\/p>\n<p>My run yesterday showed me a scene of my childhood that if we chose to channel everyday, I believe would help us live<em><strong> as happy, compassionate creatures toward all and most important, ourselves.<\/strong><\/em> Because it is when we love ourselves that we can truly &amp; genuinely love each other for who they are, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because children love themselves for who they are &#8212; they love all human beings for who they are, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today and everyday I want to channel to my &#8220;inner child&#8221; in such a way that rejuvenates this sense of self. Whether it&#8217;s gathering my friends in Central Park for a sing-a-long or making an ice cream sundae complete with sprinkles, chocolate syrup and gummi bears &#8230; I want to complete my character of &#8220;child&#8221; a little bit everyday so that I can live without fear, without judgement, and without self-imposed expectations that deny me of the<em> gratefulness I deserve, and which I own right at this very moment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So I want to hear from you for my own personal inspiration &#8212; <strong>what do you do as an adult that channels your inner child?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leaving a comment on today&#8217;s blog post answering this question automatically enters you in the giveaway &#8230; and in a small way, is another easy reminder that no matter our age, <strong>youth is how we feel. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>We are<strong> all <\/strong>children if we choose to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Thank you for inspiring today&#8217;s gratefulness Friday story, everyone!
