Can you dream a little bigger?

I gained so much more than I thought I would from visiting Eurodisney

Dream a little bigger

Laugh a little harder

Sing a little louder.......


This is the message I took from Eurodisney last week, along with a belief in PERFECT TIMING.


In Oct 2019 I wrote on the inside of my 10-year-old daughter's birthday card that I would take her to Eurodisney.  I hadn't booked it yet but did intend to book in Spring 2020.  Then Covid hit, then I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo treatment.  So in early May this year, 2023, I made the decision that it was going to happen soon.  She had been very understanding but it was always there in the back of her head.


Last week I flew to Paris with my daughter and her friend for two days in Eurodisney and one day in Paris.  I didn't have any expectations as to how I might enjoy it, it was all for her.  Well, the excitement was infectious, the rides were so much fun the music, light show and fireworks were amazing.  I am so grateful to have found my inner child!


Disney created a song to celebrate 30 years in Paris and I can't get this song out of my head. 


Un monde qui s'illumine, (which sounds like 'a monkey see loo me' but means 'a world that lights up'!). The chorus, Dream a little bigger, Laugh a little harder, Sing a little louder has inspired me to find my inner child, full of belief, excitement and happiness.


Had we gone to Eurodisney back then in 2019/20 she would not have experienced it with a friend and I don't know that I would have gained so much inspiration from the trip, without the 30th year celebrations and my situation.  Look at the photo above and who do you think is enjoying the ride the most? I'm on the right in the front!


Each day I inspire those around me to cook nutritious dishes with ease but today I would love you to ask yourself, Can you dream a little bigger, laugh a little harder and sing a little louder?


I wonder could Walt Disney have dreamt of anything as big as what has now been created when he began creating in 1920!


Here is a Youtube link to the song Un monde qui s'illumine,
