It's All Really A Matter of Choice...

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”

~Carlos Castaneda

There is an enormous amount of information circulating through the airwaves these days, and it's not information that necessarily makes you feel good.
It is important to stay current; but I would encourage you to find balance. Take time to listen to music and to information that makes you laugh and that gives you a general sense of well being. Have a conversation that doesn't involve the state of the economy. Get your body moving and get your endorphins flowing, so that you experience some of that natural feel good energy.
My wish for you is that you make yourself a priority, and ensure that in the midst of everything happening in your world today, you do things that generally make you feel good.

Remember, we create our own realities...

Truth...

"There's a huge space between us, and it keeps filling up with everything we don't say to each other."

~From the film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Have you ever noticed how great you feel when you tell the truth and clear the air, so to speak? There is accuracy in the statement, "The truth shall set you free"! Being open and honest frees up an enormous amount of energy and gives you the confidence and space to move forward.

Did you know that not telling the truth, even if you're doing it to protect the person you're not being honest with is manipulation?

It is... You're trying to protect something or someone and you're seeking a desired outcome; so you manipulate the situation by not telling the truth, to get what you want.

It's best to say what's on your mind. Let the other person determine whether they can handle the information you're delivering. People are stronger than we give them credit for.

There's just one caveat... Make sure when you're telling the truth, it's your business to do so....

Make it a fabulous week!

Just a Thought From Me to You...

"Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you make or dark images you hold about yourself and even defend. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused." ~Alan Cohen

It is so important to remember that no matter what your external circumstances appear to be, you are always bright, you are always beautiful, you are always whole, and you are always worthy.

You are loved!

Beyond the Dress...

"Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it."
~attributed to Yves Saint Laurent

How are you showing up in the world? Are you a ray of sunshine or burst negative energy dressed in nice clothing? One of the best ways to tell, is to pay attention to the way your body feels when you're communicating with others. Does the energy running through your body feel really good, or does it feel kind of yucky?

It doesn't really matter how fabulous you look on the outside, if the way you're showing up in the world is unattractive...

If you desire to be and feel more attractive, begin paying attention to the level of energy flowing through your body, and to the words emanating from your mouth.

With beautiful regards...

The Best Help You Can Give...

"It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who-you-really-are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you.
You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment."

~Taken from the Teachings of Abraham

Rather than feel sorry for someone, take a more powerful approach and stand in their greatness. Help them to see their possibilities and REFUSE to focus on obstacles. THIS is real love. There is much more power in taking this position.

To your greatness!

Love...

An inspirational quote on love...

"Love is the only way to grasp another human being ... to see the essential traits and features ... [the] potential in him which is not yet actualized but ought to be actualized ... By his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities." ~Viktor Frankel

Change...

Change begins with a decision, which is simply a new choice.

There is a quote by Marianne Williamson that speaks to our strength and power, and I'd like to share a portion of it with you...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"

This quote speaks to my soul for many reasons. You see, we know that we are not inadequate. We know deep down that we are powerful beyond measure and for many this can be very scary. The thought of change often equates to the unknown, so we begin to get in our own way. We must begin to trust that we have all of the tools necessary for success within us.

We are all here to be no less than brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous! What a beautiful way to view our journey!

Ladies, we have enough strength and power in our index finger to move mountains!!! Isn't it time we begin to exercise some of our options and embark on powerful change?

What options are available to you today?
