How to Sparkle More.

• Read more children's books.
• Read the color-coded fairy tale books (Andrew Lang).
• Read more science fiction and fantasy.
• Play with color in coloring books.
• Listen to soothing, inspiring music like Enya.
• Continue listening to showtunes and working it into the family's morning routine.
• Learn about shows after Bruce and I see them.
• Take medication--every time and at the right time.
• Hang up some snowflakes and make a glittery mess.
• Collect gifts for people throughout the year, so no special day catches me by surprise.
• Use my favorite peppermint marshmallow candle.
• Rather than saving something special, think of what a pity it would be if I never used the object. And use it!
• Look at old photos of Oliver. Watch for photos in which I look truly happy--even if I were sick or hurt at the time.
• Don't be lazy about eye makeup. Layer the sparkle.
• Pay attention to those who love me most and see it in their eyes. Carry that feeling.
• Always wear something that glimmers--it will remind me of who I want to be.
