Release the weight of excess

The holiday season is once again upon us and everyone is gearing up for being stressed out trying to either people-please with gift-giving of items that you can't afford, so that you start your new year off in debt or you're trying to press yourself at the eleventh hour to wrap up goals that you've slouched on all year long.  Choose instead, to focus on resolving some of the issues of the past year that kept you awake at night and uneasy throughout the day.

If you've identified a problem...don't continue plugging efforts into focusing on the problem...You should now focus your efforts on the solution.  If there is an answer to a question...answer it....if there is a solution to a problem or dilemma in your life....resolve to bring closure to it and rest easy going into the holiday season and especially the new year ahead.

Don't put things off.  If you have a clutter of email, spam, etc., don't go past it....touch it...scan it and "Delete It"...... Get rid of garbage as it piles up or it will stink.  Let your daily goal be that of reducing the weight of each day before you sleep.  Reduce the weight of excess each day before you sleep. Lighten the load of the day before you sleep.  Release the burdens of the past...of the day...before you sleep.

Start each sunrise fresh.....with a clean canvass.  Focus on the solution for each and every problem/dilemma once identified, and live your life with the freedom to expand your horizons.

An offering of Thanksgiving...

May we find each day to be a day of Thanksgiving.....moments where we find time to reflect on the goodness of provision, in whatever form, through whatever means.  May we indulge our lives in the spirit of giving to those who find their days are without the necessities of life and may we take the time to offer a word of hope....encouragement....kindness to those whom we meet on our journey.

May we always remind those whom we love that we recognize them....that they are important and loved.

May we never miss an opportunity to Give Thanks daily and to share with others and simply be Love in Action!

Start anew with each sunrise

View each sunrise as a fresh slate....a brand new beginning....a second chance.  Forget about yesterday's troubles....lay those burdens down and the weight that it carried when you rested your body last night.

Plant new seeds with each new sunrise.  Nurture each new thought and idea that springs forth as you meditate upon the beginning of a new set of 24 hour moments.

Forget about blaming any circumstance or any other person for what may have perceivably gone 'wrong' a few minutes ago, a few days ago....several years ago.  Turn the page.....breathe deeply and treat it as new, fresh, crisp......clean.  Begin again....Start something new.....Set the world on fire again....with each sunrise!

Happy Veterans Day

...Honoring America's Veterans for their patriotism, love of country & willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good....Happy Veterans Day!

Not until you're satisfied

 

...Taking the ups with the downs....finding ways of turning things around...the good with the bad....the wins with the losses.....Making the day count - despite the - Setbacks....Setups and disappointments.  Find a way to make it work.....a different way to achieve the outcome.....Invent an alternative....create more options.....but whatever you do....Don't give up....Until you're satisfied....there's always another way of doing things!

Allow the gifts to emerge

There are gifts, talents, dreams and abilities that are lying dormant inside of you.  Now is a good time to purposely dust them off and activate what needs to emerge.

As long as you have breath, it's never too late. Everything that you dreamed about, set aside, placed a "to be continued" sign on...Call it forth today, add enthusiasm to the mix and believe that it can be accomplished.

Don't sit around hoping, dreaming, wishing and just praying about it.  You have the ultimate responsibility of putting those ideas into motion.  YOU must activate the plan...you must "bust" a move.....It takes plain old work....motion....So do something!

Take a chance on you and believe that the world is actually awaiting what you've tucked away.....We want the offering of your life through your gifts, talents and abilities.  Activate....dust it off....Bring forth your greatness!
