Relax

Taking time for ME is not usual. Sure I start my day with meditation often adding "Spirit and Truth" readings along with it.
My 'down time' never makes it to Facebook since it too is my own time.

Still I don't really give myself a lot of me time.

You won't be getting updates or my affirming message in your email or via Facebook for a few weeks. I am off to relax. Starting with a few days in San Juan Puerto Rico then farther away

Let's all RELAX and enjoy ME TIME as  YOUR TIME

Trust me it will help Love and Live longer

Journey

I've heard it said and wisely too "It's not the destination but the journey"

I  know I've had an awesome ever changing life.  HIV, cancer, great career, loving family, tested yet sound faith, my way fun puppy and this blog

Never did I expect to work for a grand theater, supervise/manage a community service or hear life stories of people in good and less than good times.

What a journey it's been and continues to become a wild one.  There is no longer ONE destination in sight,  I continue to work on my masters degree and begin yet a new life calling

Where do your journeys leading you?

Empty

I have a tendency to keep "stuff"  Old flags, one sock, books and I mean those about events I attended and such, clothes that don't fit. I also hang on to memories of times that were not pleasant.

Some of the later I hope never to Empty from my memory others only take up space where love and peace can fill better.

What are you holding onto that can be let go of?  Let's empty our junk together

Keep Trying

When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't.”
    - Thomas Edison

Let's not life's unpleasant times or events get us down. Our affirming loving attitude holds more substance
I'll keep trying, improving and looking to a great today with you

Light

I freely admit times I'm feeling 'down' or as if the 'world is against me' are not uncommon feelings

One way to work around this is thinking affirming thoughts, saying affirming uplifting words.

Simply "Let there be light" may work


Try it then imagine it coming true.

Let me know if  it works

Do It

It seems that we try to pack more things to do into our every day but few of these things improve our health or nourish our soul.  Here are some ideas to help you bring more joy into your days:
1.  Brew a pot of herbal tea, sit down with a book or magazine and just take a break from the world.
2.  Smile. Even if you don’t want to.  Smiling tricks your brain into thinking you’re happy. (
3.  Call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while (someone positive who just makes you feel good).
4.  Do something nice for someone else.  Sometimes just doing a good deed can bring so much joy to both the giver and receiver.  You can donate to a charity, take clothes you’re not using to Salvation Army, donate blankets to an animal shelter, pay for a stranger’s coffee at a cafĂ©, give books to your local library, and so much more.
5.  Tend a garden.  Don’t have one.  Find a way to join or start a community garden.  Even if you have a balcony you can grow some flowers or herbs in containers.

What else can we do for our soul?
Do it!!

NO!!!

Some times it's best to just say "NO."  Being a workaholic I find more tasks to do. I improve my life and career constantly.  I also volunteer at two places.

Remember the old adage "Want something done ask a busy person?"  Well that's me.

To take care of my self, my own self worth, my time, my health I know to say NO

Let's all keep our lives less 'reactive' but active- active to affirm our goodness

One Good Word

I often exclaim how much I like something.  Just the other day I got a sandwich at a place I frequent. The clerks pretty much know what I'm ordering.  HOW I confirmed my request made all the difference.

"How about that awesome bbq sandwich, please?"

The clerk smiled and said "do you mean that? Is it that good?"

Of course it is or I wouldn't buy it more than once.

The simple word "awesome" to describe something he may make several times each day but never himself has eaten "I don't eat pork"

Lets UPSELL our good words more often. Thank a check out clerk, the grocery bagger, your letter carrier, etc.  Make it all about US
