1. Day 4: Golden Coffee Cup -- All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Read all about the Golden Coffee Cup here. That title quote comes from the LORD OF THE RINGS. I am a serious fan. Yes, we are getting major power today. Today's high five comes from a guy who loved trees, J. R. R. Tolkien.



Tolkien was just one of the bravest writers ever. He invented an entire world, and added on an entire language on his journey to an authentic story. I hope that you take courage for your great journey today. I hope that you reach out for grand vistas. Don’t be afraid.

I know you are busy with goals but if you have a few minutes you might read this awesome article ON FAIRY STORIES by Tolkien.

Come back tomororw for more hot java! Snap! Snap! Snap!

And last up. Here's some energy for you if you don't think your work is sparkling, if you feel like you are wandering, if you are getting older and still haven't found the success you've wanted, if you feel like you and your work are out in the cold. I love this little bit from THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J. R. R. Tolkien.
