Life is a Gift: Finding the Miracles in Everday Moments

In this Shower Sprinkle, I remind you that life itself is the miracle. When we slow down, take off our blinders, and open our hearts, we begin to see the beauty that’s always been right in front of us — and within us.

I share heartfelt reflections from my week of service through my organization, Little Moments, Big Dreams Celebrations, bringing joy to families and kids in hospitals. Through my stories of gratitude, giving, and grace, I invite you to live from your heart space, choose joy, and remember that every breath, every connection, and every act of kindness is a miracle in motion.

✨ You are the gift. You are the light. And life is the greatest miracle of all.

💛 Takeaways:

• How to shift from your head to your heart and truly see the beauty around you
• The healing power of gratitude and giving
• Why even small acts of kindness create ripple effects of hope
• How to find joy and purpose — even during hard times
• Remembering that you are a gift to the world

Hey friends. Welcome to the Enter Spark podcast. I'm your host, Casey Caton. If you're looking to hear stories of transformation and personal growth, this podcast is for you. My guest and I will be sharing those sparking moments that has changed the mental living a more fulfilling authentic life. I'm so excited for you to hear each unique story. So sit back, relax, and let's get started. Hey friend. Welcome back to the Enter Spec podcast. I'm your host, Casey t. Today my body is lit up. I have had some amazing calls and this is a short shower sprinkle on just what a gift life is there's so many miracles happening right in front of us. Sometimes We can't open our eyes or take off our blinders to see them. Isn't it incredible that we get to take off our blinders, open our eyes, and just see the beauty in this world and what's really happening right in front of us and seeing the beauty in ourselves? Can you find the beauty in yourself? Can you look in the mirror and say, I love yourself. Can you tell yourself, I am so grateful for this body you gave me. I love it. And I'm saying that, that even when we're going through hard times, life is just such a gift. Sometimes those hard times are meant to teach us lessons. That we get to grow from, and then we get to share it with the world and we get to help others. Isn't it beautiful how that just aligns? And I'm not saying painful experiences are fun, you know, I have had my own painful experience, my own journey. But I'm telling you, look where I am now and look what I get to do. I get to speak on this podcast. I get to do parties for kids in the hospital. I get to run an organization and connect with the community, and connect with people in the world through my podcast. Isn't that a gift? That there's so much beauty in the world and that we're not aware, we're even able to open our eyes to see that? What if you start living from your heart? Start getting outta your head and living from your heart space and opening it up to receive love and to fill the love and the world. I am saying this, this is an experience that just happened to me this week, is you, you know, when I started running the organization, I have great volunteers. Little moments. Big dream celebration is truly what sparks me, what lights me up, bringing joy to kids during these experiences. Because I've been on the other side of it. I know what it feels like to lay in a hospital bed, I know what it feels like to not have any energy to do anything. But you know what the cool part is? We can still bring them these glimmers, these sparkles, these little joy filled moments that just shifts your energy and shifts how they heal. And it just shifts the whole family dynamic of what's happening in the room. I follow this girl on Instagram and many of you may know her. It's Bree stronger than Cancer, and this is a young girl who is on hospice and people around the world are donating to them and she has tons of followers and giving the family experiences and. Yes, it is very heartbreaking and very sad, and my heart breaks for this family who is losing a child. Absolutely breaks. It is something, one of the things that we don't really like to talk about and we've lost kids and we still, you know, connect with those families. But here's what's happening through this. People are reaching out and giving this family. Experiences. So she's not, they're not just laying there. Yes, they do have bad moments and bad days, but they're bringing as much joy to her and to the family and to the siblings as they can, and they're celebrating so much. And that's the thing is we can find joy in all the little things. Look around, you find something. What something in your house? What lights you up? Do you have a car? Does that light you up? There's just so much gratitude, but what also happened is there's a family in my hometown that is going through an experience of there being placed on hospice, and it's heartbreaking and I can't even wrap my mind or imagine what this family is going through. And what the parents are going through of just knowing that they're losing a child. But here's what the beautiful part is. When we open our eyes, we get to help them. We get to give them a chance to experience something that's going to bring them joy. So it's not all sadness. How freaking cool is that? That there are people like my organization that wanna bring joy that. We're all, you know, we all came here for a purpose. And this is truly what sparks me is to be able to give people these glimmers, these little sparks of hope to see life in a different way and as they're going through this difficult time. It's devastating It's heartbreaking. It's, it, it gives me chills just standing here and talking about it, but I know with our community support, we're gonna get to surround them with love. And show them that they're not alone. And you're not alone, my friend. You're not. I hear you and I see you. I just want everybody just to look into their heart. Open their heart. Is your heart even open to receiving love? Get outta your head, tap into your heart and find the beauty in today and every day. And I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. You know, there's, we're all gonna have these challenging times, but guess what we can do? We get to choose. Choose how we handle it. We also get to choose if we wanna restart our day, any time at any moment, and maybe you restart your day 10 times, 20 times a day, that's fine. Fill your feelings, fill the things, and then choose to find something good. Take off those binders and see the world, see what's happening around you. What good could I do for someone else? Simple smile, simple phone call, a simple text. Maybe it's something bigger. Maybe it's something like what my organization is getting to do for this family. We are gonna get to get them an experience as they're going through these difficult times. So they still get to find the joy and these. Heartbreaking times. And that's truly what it's about is finding that inner light that lights you up and knowing that you can help someone else find it, and that everybody has it within them. And if you don't know how to find it, reach out to me. I'll do a call with you. We'll connect about what really lights you up, this is just a shower sprinkle on my thoughts and just really just living and opening your eyes. Just all the gratitude and being so thankful. And I have this sign that says Behind me when I record and it says, live for today. And it's so true. We are living for today. We're not jumping ahead. We're living for this moment, and then the next moment when it happens. And it is just so freaking magical when you allow it to be. When you choose to see the good and whatever is happening. I'm encouraging you to go choose joy. Go look within yourself and if you wanna be a part of helping my organization do more, we are doing so much. We did five parties last week. We got to help five families bring smiles through their difficult times with this kid's in the hospital. We got to celebrate whatever they're going through and now we get an opportunity to help this family. You can help Little moments, big dream, celebration the organization. That is it.
