The Power in Creating a GREAT day!!!!!

Hello all!!!! I hope you enjoy this video, have a GREAT day!

To All The Special Someones In The World!!!!!!!

SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE THAT HAVE BEEN SUCH SUPPORTERS!!!!! I'M  SO APPRECIATIVE OF THEM THAT I ALMOST MELT.... :-) A LITTLE DRAMATIC THERE BUT YOU FEEL WHAT I'M SAYING ;-) SO I'VE DECIDED........................................

To create a day that we honor those someone(s) that have been consistent friends to us. I'm talking no matter what you may have going on you know they'll be right there. I know many, many, many people who are so gracious to me. I have realized that we can not go about this journey alone; and who wants to anyway!? Life is SO much more exciting when shared! So I'm thinking tomorrow (June 20,2013) or whenever you read this and it's your tomorrow, that we honor in a special way someone who is special to us. Now, if this day already exist Great! But i'm unaware of it and I can create a holiday if I want too :-). It's a wonderful thing to honor others! If you haven't tried it do so you'll feel so much better :-)..... I would like to say a very special thank you to a dear, dear friend of mine. " Your kindness, support, friendship and affection has been and is greatly appreciated. Words can not fully convey how much I appreciate you. Quiet often I thank my energy source for allowing our paths to cross. You have seen me in many stages of my life, and you have been consistent and remarkable during all of them. I appreciate you.  May you always find peace and harmony. May love in its truest form embrace you. May you continue to experience success in your life. You are one of the most un-selfish people I have ever met. May you experience the creator in a new and enlightening way. May fulfillment be your companion and purpose be your destiny. So as a thank you, you have vegan sausage, polenta with veggie cheese and fresh fruit on me (throw back)... just let me know when or DOD......

To all the special someones out there : THANKS A MILLION!!!! Have fun and celebrate tomorrow!!!!!!xoxo

So, What Are You Thinking About?

 Hello!!! I hope you're having a super fantastic day! My day has been great (just in case you were wondering :-)). So, I wanted to know, What are you thinking about? Statistics show that on average we have 48 thoughts PER MINUTE, wow, that's alot of thinking :-). But, what I wonder is, what are we thinking? Our thought patterns shapes up so much of our reality; our world that in my opinion, positive, healthy thoughts are extremely important. Are you experiencing the results you want from your life? Reflect on your thoughts (mindset) and that will prove as a barometer of the results your seeing.
  Our minds (thought patterns) are deeply influenced by our enviroment: what we read, the music we listen to, television shows we watch, the conversations we participate in and the people  we share the majority of our time with. That selecting these influencers should be done with much consideration. The exciting thing to me is, if we aren't experiencing the results we want, we have the ability and power to change it! Decide what area in life you would like to improve. Find credible sources to assist you in that particular area (literature, audio tapes, dvds, professionals, teachers, educational programs, etc). Study the resources and each day tell yourself how successful you will be in that area. Which reminds me,(a little side note here) what you're thinking influences your speech. Refrain from negative words concerning yourself, your goals, the life you truly desire to have and others. Your words are not idle! They are enforcers of your reality. So change your thinking (mindset) , change the words you speak, change your life!!! So now back to what I was saying :-)... Keep working towards your goal and don't stop until you see the results you desire. If you have many areas you would like to improve on, I would say pick one at a time, complete it and then pick another. If you can handle more than one area, go for it! But remember, small consistent steps to the greater goal. Also, surround yourself with positive, supportive people. You'll the need the cheerleading along the way. Feed your soul with positive messages. There is something so refreshing and satisfying when you're meditating on enlightening words. An author that I have observed having positive messages, is Dr. Cindy Trimm. If you have not experienced any of her books, check her out. Also, I was introduced to a lyricist (his work, not him personally) Andy Mineo. I find his music to be fun, refreshing, upbeat and very positive. If you haven't experienced him either look him up and tell me what you think. Well that's it for now folks, until next time have a SUPER FANTASTIC day!!!! xoxo.

Hope

Have you wanted to acheive something so badly that you felt like you were literally FIGHTING for it? I'm talking, career, a marriage, relationship, job, peace of mind, hope in something, invention, loved one, anything? I know that I have. I would like to encourage you to keep fighting. Don't give up. Now i'm talking as if it's healthy for you, not bringing harm to yourself or others or anything of the sort. Sometimes we can want and work for something so badly and if we don't see the results we desire it can be very despairing. But remain hopeful!!! Keep going! Continue to make those consistent small steps to acheive the larger results that you want! It's never too late to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.
    A few things that I find helpful when being determined on acheiving and acquiring my goal(s) are 1). support group. It is exteremly important to have a person/people around you who know what you're desiring to acheive and are enabling you in those efforts along the way. This includes their speech concerning you and what your working towards, if they are telling you how difficult your goals are, how they don't see how it's going to work, you shouldn't or can't because of xyz, this is not your support group. This group should help you along the way, providing you with resources that might prove beneficial, encouraging you along the way, telling you the truth when necessary. 2.) Believing in what you're working towards acheiving. You have to believe in what you're doing first! If you don't it will be hard for others to jump on your bandwagon and support you in your endeavors. When things look bleak, you still have to believe and know that you can accomplish what you have set out to do. Believe in yourself and your efforts. 3.) Positive mindset, don't talk yourself out of what you're trying to do. When we step out of our comfort zone, sometimes fear has the tendency to creep in and paralyze us from what we're designed to do. Surround yourself with positive people, books, messages, etc to shape your mind towards positivity and not negativity and defeat.
     Those are just a few things. I hope you find them helpful. I know their is more out there in life for you if you find yourself feeling hopeless, or purposeless or anything like that. If you feel overwhelmed by the challenges life brings, trust me there is HOPE. You don't have to feel that way and you most certainly weren't created by the creator to live this way. I used to wonder at times, before I connected to my energy source and discovered one of my purposes for my existence, "why am I here?" "What is life all about?" 'It has to be more than this."" I want a fulfilling life." And you know what I discovered there was more to my life than what I was experiencing. I was created for more. And that I could have exactly what I want if I make up my mind to work for it, get assistance when necessary, have a healthy spiritual life, and surround myself with positive people, places and things. Yeshua, my energy source has been the enlightening force in my life. My energy source is what has been the prevailing force for me. I like to start my morning off in a very peaceful and serene way, I say " Yeshua, thank you for allowing me to connect with you. Thank you for your love and kindness towards me. Thank you for having good thoughts towards me and not negative thoughts. Thank you for the hope you impart into me. Thank you for guiding me into enlightenment and truth. I choose success in you as my energy source, I am teachable and available, thank you. Do this consistently and watch the calmness that surrounds you. So I hope this helps. Remember, there is still hope and you are worth your best life ever!!! Until next time, peace, harmony and success to you!!

Where Does the Road Lead To?

 There are many twists and turns in this life. Many un-expectancies. It's like a traveler on a journey, walking down a long dirt road. Along the way, he sees a floral stand. He stops, smells the flowers and while he is there, he meets a young lady purchasing a bouquet. They talk, laugh, enjoys each others company and they decide that she should accompany him on his journey. They continue to walk together, sharing thoughts and ideas, occasionally holding hands, gazing into the others eyes. As they walk they see a merchants truck. The merchant asks them to step right over. They notice that the merchant has many items from all over the world. They ask him many questions about his life, as they can tell he's been quiet the traveler himself. As their time with the merchant ends, they hug him and depart. They continue to travel along that long dirt road. They pass many travelers along the way. Politely nodding or waiving, giving pleasant smiles. The young woman who joined the young male traveler decides to stop along a stream she sees from a distance. As she touches the cool, crisp water she makes the decision to establish roots along that stream. A perfect place for her to grow the flower garden of her dreams. Though they have spent many days together, many shared moments, the young male traveler realizes he must continue along the path in which he began.
  He continues to travel, meeting many people with many stories to share. He builds life experiences of his own. Along his way he finds a piece of the earth to call his own. Establishes roots and  finds a companion to share it all with. Within him are many stories, many truths and much wisdom. The reason why he chose the piece of the earth that he did to call his own. The reason behind why he chose the companion that he did along his journey and the many other reasons as to  why he made the decisions he did along the way.
 So, why did I write this little short story? To provoke thought really. Why a dirt road and not a paved one? Why a flower stand and not a fruit stand? Notice anything different between the young male traveler and the young woman at the floral stand? Why did the young woman decide to leave the young man after all their moments together?
 Where does this life that we live end up? What story will be told from our lives? What symbolisms and meanings could those that will read or hear of us be able to gather? Will we be mentioned or thought of at all? Do we see our lives as a story waiting to be read or told? Or are we just "cruising" through? Taking it day by day with no real thought, plan or purpose.
 LETS MAKE OUR LIFE COUNT! LET YOUR STORY BE ONE THAT WILL INSPIRE A NATION.

Dirt road= flexibility, pliable, life underneath one's feet.
Paved road= hard, concrete, another's chosen path for you.
Floral stand= the young woman purchased a bouquet. She had an interest in the flowers. The young man just smelled the flowers. He wanted to experience them where as she made an investment. That is why she stopped and established roots by the stream to grow her "dream flower garden". She always knew what she wanted. She had a plan. A vision. She stayed true to that. Where are you going? Hope you enjoyed. Please share your thoughts. xoxo.

The Choice to Forgive

 As I sat down  this morning to write, I thought what do I want to share today. As many writers know, our thoughts are swarming around in our minds like dancing melodies, constantly ready to be sung. We normally have boxes upon boxes of stories, daily happenings, inspirational moments, laying around ready to be told. But this morning, I decided to write about that which is a present thought for me, forgiveness. I often wonder if this "word" is too common in today's society. Has its real purpose been trivialized to the point that the weight it carries no longer has significance in our hearts and minds. Through my life experiences I realized in order for me to function properly I had to truly forgive the individual(s) who I felt offended by. So, what is forgiveness really? I absolutely love dictionary.com so I went there to read their meaning of the word. They describe forgiveness as 1) the act of forgiving, the state of being forgiven. 2) the disposition or willingness to forgive. The definition of Forgive 1) to grant pardon for or remission of an offense, debt, etc. When reading the meaning what stood out to me was the word "willingness". It spoke volumes to me, communicating that forgiveness is a choice. I know for me personally when I didn't make the choice to forgive someone in my heart and soul I could feel a little piece of positive energy within myself diminish. I wasn't at peace fully. I was slightly irritable, especially around people or scenarios that reminded me of my offender(s). I was becoming bitter. I loathe negative energy, so bitterness for me was and is like a poison that slowly contaminates ones radiant glow. It acts as a shield, blocking one's blessings, true identity, creativity, purpose and inner peace (joy). For my own peace of mind I realized that it was beneficial and necessary for me to forgive. Sometimes you don't even realize how hurt you are emotionally, depending on the offense, until you make the decision to "let it go". You may physically release this hurt through crying immensely. Now, I am not saying that you have to interact with a person whose offended you to demonstrate forgiveness. Only you can make that judgment call; what I am saying is that we all should strive to have control over who we really are. I know for me being bitter and resentful isn't who I choose to be. But if I make the choice to walk in un-forgiveness I change the whole essence of who I am, the way I perceive things, how I interact and relate to others. No one is worth so much to me that I would relinquish that kind of control over to. I will not be imprisoned to another's actions. I have decided to live empowered. Also, if we find ourselves as the one who has offended, please let's not find ourselves so prideful that we dismiss humility and seek out forgiveness from those we have wronged. May we all acknowledge and recognize another persons perspectives and feelings and make the choice to sincerely understand them. Let us create an atmosphere of harmony and power wherever we may go.  Until next time I hope you enjoy your day.

p.s. please leave a comment below and tell me your thoughts.

Creating an empowered life part 1

Thanks for visiting my blog! I am so excited to experience life with you. I have discovered that this life  that we live is a journey and I have purposed to live empowered and make my life count. Tapping into my energy source is what saved my life and enlightened me to the realm of possibilities. We often start our journey's  full of life and excitement. What we want to be when we grow up, to who we'll marry, where we'll live, future homes, how we'll change the world, so on and so forth, but then life happens. Bit by Bit "life" chisels away at our excitement. Our plans as we laid them out begins to alter. And sometimes it happens so smoothly that before we know it our life no longer looks anything like the image we SAW. So then, acceptance of this new image takes place and we ALLOW life to continue " to happen".
 Question for you, have you ever had a moment, even if briefly where you thought " I never saw my life ending up like this"; " Where did I go wrong?"; "If only this happened, instead of this"; "If I could do it all over again, I would...." These thoughts challenge our "accepted" image to our "excited pre-planned" image. But rest assured, life "just happening" does NOT have to be your reality! WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN LIFE HAPPEN. Create our own destiny.
  I am excited, thrilled, ecstatic, over-joyed, and elated (can you tell :-) ) to share with you how my energy source has enlightened me to the principles of achieving and creating the life I've always wanted and the determined posture to make it happen. So much in store for us, I am excited about our journey together.

* many more blogs/posts to come, look for them every Monday and Friday.
