Love

Just a reminder that all things are possible with love!  Yes, love brings peace inside ourselves and throughout the world! Spread love and watch the ripple.  

Find Your Joy Friday

Do you ever feel like you are just getting through the day, the week, the year?  Do you feel like you are always busy but not accomplishing anything?  If you answered yes to either of those, it's time for a change!!

It's time to find your passion and pursue it like your life depends on it!!  Sometimes people get so caught up in making a living that they stop truly living!!

If you know what you are passionate about, are you pursing it?  If not, today is the day to start.  We find our purpose in our passion.

If you are confused about what you even like to do or what you are passionate about, then take some time to just sit and relax.  Ask yourself the following questions, or better yet, journal about them.  When was the last time I felt super alive and happy?  What was I doing? What did I love as a kid?  What did I want to do with my life when I was a kid?  Am I doing it?  Do I still want to do it or something similar?  What books do I like to read?  What makes me passionate?  What do I love to do?   Give yourself time and just write - don't censor what comes up, just write and write.  Ask yourself the question over and over and see what other things come up.  When you determine what makes you happy and where your passion lies, take one step in that direction.

Life is meant to be enjoyed!!!  Here's to a meaningful, happy, abundant life!!  You deserve it simply because you exist!!

Begin Each Day With A Grateful Heart

 It really is that simple!  If we start each day with a grateful heart and focus on all that we have to be grateful for, the day will be much better.    It is easy to wake up and think about all the things we "have" to do and all the "problems" we need to fix in our lives but that puts us in problem mode rather than solution mode.

For the next week, wake up and immediately focus on gratitude.  Be thankful that you woke up.  Be thankful for the fact you have somewhere to sleep.  Be thankful for friends and family.  Be thankful for the clothes you have. Be thankful for an indoor bathroom with running water.  Be thankful for the ability to think. Be thankful food you have to eat.  There is so much to be grateful for and we often take it for granted because we are focused on the things we want and don't have.  It's easy to switch the focus.  Try it for a week and let me know what changes you see in your life.  We always get more of what we focus on!!  Let's make it something we actually want :)

Have a magical, grateful day!!

Make a Difference Monday

How are you going to make a difference today?  Post it below and how it made you feel.

Have an amazing day and never underestimate yourself or your effect on others!!!

Eating Right in a Hurry: 9 Meal Prep Tips for Busy Parents

Eating Right in a Hurry: 9 Meal Prep Tips for Busy Parents



As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to prepare healthy meals with 3 hungry boys wanting to eat right away.  This offers some great tips!  I do love my Tower Garden which I'm preparing to bring inside for the fall and winter.  It's so convenient to always have fresh lettuce for salad! Once I figure out where to put a second one, I will be ordering it :)

Daily insight

When you recognize your importance and potential, you will see that nothing is impossible.  It is time to accept your magnificence and shine!  

Today is a new day

 It's easy to get discouraged at times but if we take each new day as a new opportunity, and stop dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, we can create miracles in our lives,  Today is the only day that matters - make the most of it!! 

What is "fitting in" costing you??

For years, I tried to fit in.  No, let me correct that.  I did fit in.  I did everything that was "expected" of me.  The problem with that is that I lost sight of what I wanted.  I made everyone else happy but I was slowly losing myself to everyone else.  I didn't even know what I wanted anymore.  Does that sound familiar?  Sometimes we become a shell of our true self.  Sometimes we lose our authenticity because of that outer facade we put on.  It's time to look at what you really want.  Who are you?  What do you want for your life?  It's time to make that a reality.  Be gentle with yourself since sometimes it's a hard journey to see our life may not reflect what we want.  It is safe to be you.  You can have the life of your dreams.  Go back to your long lost dreams and see if they still make your heart sing.  If they do, go after them.  You can do it.  It's time.  You can change your life no matter what it looks like now.  You can stand out.  You can have everything you want as soon as you decide what you really want and why.  Then relax and know that you can do it.  

Do you want to feel rich??

Be the light

What We Need...

We need people to encourage us.  We need to encourage others.  Always look for the positive - remember to support each other because we are all in this world together.  We all have hopes and dreams.  We all do things well and we all make mistakes.  We all want to love and be loved.  We all have emotions and fears.  And we all are the best we can be at this very moment.    Remember to look at everyone with compassionate eyes and encourage them on their journey.

You are perfect and deserve the best.  If I can help encourage you to follow your dreams and your passion, please leave a comment.  You do deserve the best and never forget it!!

Peace

Sometimes we just try too hard.  We forget that we are truly perfect the way we are.  Not perfect in the way most people think of it - but perfect in the true sense.  We will change and we will grow but we are exactly where and who we are supposed to be.  So take a deep breath and just relax.  Just Be!!

Sitting is Killing You

How long do you sit every day?

It's time to get more active - do it today even if you just set a timer and go for a walk down the hall every 15 min
utes.  Just get moving.  You are worth it!

Reap what you sow ....

Today is the day to sow love, kindness, generosity, and joy.  Make someone's day!  Smile for no reason and have faith that you will be filled with love, kindness, generosity, and joy as you bring it to others.    

Enjoy

Make the most of everyday
