What you are

 

Please, please, please take this to heart.

Read it,

    Think about it,

        Accept it as truth.

Thank you Kristen for the reminder.

We all need to be reminded that sometimes our soul knows more than our mind. 

Be Courageous

 

      and allow your life to expand further than you can see.

Don't allow your fears to keep you in one place ... be courageous.

                   

Admit that you make mistakes

 I do.  Well, at least I try to, and here is why.

Because ... those who admit to making mistakes are REAL.

I would much rather be thought of as real, than some plastic, unrealistic automaton who has no positive purpose.  

I'm sure you know what I mean.  I am also sure you have met those folks as well, always pointing out your mistake and telling you how they could have or have done better.

Think about it...be real, make mistakes, admit it and grow!  You just can't grow if you don't take risks and DO things.  If you never make a mistake, or admit that you have, you just aren't doing anything and THAT is boring!

New Year's Resolutions

did you make one?

If not, perhaps these might give you a little nudge to make one or more that are worth your effort.

I think that each of these are worth your time and effort.
I am going to be keeping each of these in mind during 2019 
and will try to keep at least 3 of the 10.
But my goal is to keep all 10!

What's your Super Power?

Some people are brilliant. 
Some people are strong, super hero strong. Sometimes strong is physical and other times it is emotional.  But its still "strong".

Some people can see things that others don't.
Some people "appear" to read minds, because they are there when you need them most.  
These are the very sensitive people.  They are sometimes mocked for being so sensitive.  But they really do seem to have a super power. They really do seem to have a "trait" that is so needed in the world today.

I like this one.  When children are sensitive and are young, they need something to "hang their hat on" so they know it's ok to be sensitive.  It's not something to be mocked.

Everyone has a super power, they just don't always see it as a super power.

What's your super power?

Who's life will be changed today

I love this reminder.

Some days I just don't want to be "bothered" with people.  I just want to stay in my own little portion of the world and just "be". I like to think we all have those days - that it's not just me.  

But, I think, when things are difficult, the tendency is to stay tucked away, to hide so you don't have to deal with anything or anybody else.  We just don't want to see anyone.  

These are all examples of times when we really NEED to meet people.


We just need to reach out and touch someone.

Maybe it is because YOU need it.

Or maybe its because THEY need it.

Let's go out today and change someone's life today.  Let's go out and make a difference.

It could be what you need today.

Angels are among us

Yes there are Angels among us.
I really love this song from Alabama.
It was one of those that "solidified" my love of them so many years ago.  Just loved those "Southern Boys".

I hope that you do believe this.

Have you heard this song from oh so long ago.  Ok maybe not Oh So long ago, but not one of the "current" hits.  What?  You haven't heard this before?  Well now you can, here

It is still one of my favorites.
Yes this "northerner" really loves those "southern boys".
Thank you Alabama for sharing with us.

Is this really YOUR problem?

NO it is definitely NOT your problem.

I saw this one and had to share.

Maybe you can take it to heart or share it with someone who is having trouble dealing with the feelings of "not being good enough"

You really need to come to the conclusion that it is 

THEIR problem 

You are who you are

If that's not good enough 

They need to MOVE ON

YOU have better people to be with!


Besides some people aren't good enough to be with themselves
Think about it
Do you really want to be in Their Life?

You are NOT broken

I think that there are some people, women and young girls more often then others so it seems, who think that they are not capable of doing great things.
They are not "capable" because of something that they did that was "wrong" or "incorrect".

I would love to have this shared with everyone - 

every woman, every child, every person 

to prove that they CAN.

You ARE a SURVIVOR.

You CAN make a DIFFERENCE.

Show everyone what you CAN DO

Help me Spread The Word.

You should only have ONE regret

This one is perfect.  So many people allow others to tell them that they can't do something ... and they believe them.  Then they look back and regret that they didn't at least try ... Nope not me - not anymore.

Will there be regrets at the end of your day?

There are always REASONS

I know there have been times I have thought about why people come in and go out of our lives.

I've wondered why some people just don't stay.  Or even why some people came at all.

I think that perhaps this is a perfect explanation.

Do you agree?

Or do you have another explanation?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one.

Demand only the BEST for yourself!

Sometimes it really is just this simple!

When you believe it to be true .... it can become true in your life

See sometimes it really is just that simple

The product of my own ....

Could it be?
Perhaps it really is

It is part of what I believe is true.
I believe that this is part of what make us unique.

What makes us who we are

Nothing is "left to chance"
We are not "victims" of circumstance.

We are who we set out to be, by the decisions that we make.





So the next time you are faced with a decision .......
Make sure that you make the right one.

Know when to let go

I know that I have a little trouble letting go.

If you ask my kids ... its more than a little problem.

But sometimes you just need to sit back and think

Ok kids ... I finally got it 

BUT 

I will let you know when you are no longer good for me :)

Love you

Now you need to think about this and remember to follow it as well.

A lesson about Time

Sometimes we forget what it means when we here ... everything in its own time.

Here is a perfect way to describe it ... Karma

So do you understand now why it is always a good thing to be good AND do good?

be free

I know that in today's "life" we all get caught up in the every day hustle and bustle going on around us.  Sometimes WE are the ones that are causing all the chaos that goes on in our lives.

Sometimes we just have to stop and smell the roses.

Sometimes we just have to 

BE FREE

To live 

in the MOMENT

and not feel guilty about it!

Dr Seuss and some Life Lessons

I have to say I loved this one when I saw it and just knew I had to share.

Although I really do like all 5 of Dr Seuss's lessons, I have to say that #2 and #5 are things that should be going hand in hand and, in my opinion, belong up top - front and center!

YOU were born to stand out

So behave like this is YOUR day to be remembered

I think we need to keep teaching our children these very "facts".  I think if more kids were taught this and not just by words but by example, we would have less "blind followers" and less "evil" events in our lives.

Lets vow to help our kids (and us) stand out for the GOOD things that we can be remembered for and not trying to be something we are not "just" to fit in!

As we start the second half of this year (can you believe half of 2013 as gone by already) lets take this to heart and make this OUR year to shine!

What do you think?
Are these great lessons from Dr Seuss?
Are these things we should be teaching our kids by example every day?

Treasures - have you found them?

This is another one of those that I need to print off and tack up on the wall of my office cube so that we can all remember what is truly important while we are running around trying to tackle all the "problems of the world" that lately all boil down to what tax you owe and what money you get to keep and how much you can "hide" from the tax man without going to jail .... (Ok it was suppose to be a tax joke ...)  Sorry.

But this is still important. 

Your New Chapter

I always wanted to be an author ...... but didn't think I could really "write" anything that people would be interested in reading.  Ok yes I started a blog and people do read it (thank you) but that wasn't what I meant.

Then I saw this and decided I really could be an author ......... just not in the same way as I originally thought.

How about you?  Are you going to be your OWN author?  Do you have a new chapter to write?

Meaning of Life

I LOVE this one.
We are always, it seems, looking for the meaning of life.
And here we can see it is just so simple!

Why were we making it so difficult and complex?
