Is New Better?

With each "New Year" so many of us use this time to say 'we're making changes' in parts of our lives
From daily routines to future plans.

Is mid winter the best time to make such changes?  For you it maybe. For others maybe not

I choose to make changes as I go along in life - to me that's continual growth

Whether you made a New Years Resolution or not I hope we all continue to change and grow from all of our life experiences.

Just a Smile

One smile at a friend or a stranger can help with endorphins, create empathy

and break tensions
A smile is a universal "feel good"

Let's share a smile with someone today.  I know one will come back to you

Love Me?

Do you love me?  How often have we thought that?  In dating it's a frequent thought in the beginning.

Say YES often too then.  Say YES I do love you to yourself, to our world, to each other.

Tevia asked Goldie via song in Fiddler on the Roof.

When I asked KD  he said "I'd be a fool not too."

We all want love in some form so live love often - define it as your are but at least LOVE

Creating Change

I spoke with some people about World AIDS Day offering my own background, history and hopes

What I left out is what  we can or should do now so I ask you, not  just about HIV/AIDS but other parts ideas or things in your life

What did you do to make change

Lets make them so

Lose it

I fear a few things. losing my health, my job, my fiance, Rubio.
I take steps to ensure them all

Somethings I fear that I have no  control over - for those things I'l Let Them Go

My friend Devon wrote  

I let go of the hate and anger of ghosts past and focused on happiness and facing my fears.

Wise words Devon and another tool to use toward happiness and affirmation

What can you loose to love more?

I bet you and I will gain more when we do

Thanks

Do I say it often enough? I hope so, Do you?
It's a simple phrase that can pack a wallop.

  Thank You

To the sky for each new day
For health, good or otherwise you and I are alive
For friends
For family in any way we define them
To you my readers

Old Ideas

When I hold onto old ideas such as "I won't find... (love, a better job, a new home, acceptance) odds are I'll keep those ideas.

When I grasp new ideas and hopes odds are they'll come true

Let's reach for the new empowering affirming thoughts and actions and make them so
