Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it encompasses many things that are near and dear to my heart: an outward pouring of gratitude, delicious food, bonding with friends and family and the spirit of service.

While you're busy embracing all the things that mean tradition to you and your family, consider offering a prayer or opening up your heart and home to someone less fortunate. Count your blessings and BE a blessing to someone else this year.

Wishing you all a safe, happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

12 Ways to be Thankful

I came across this article on Beliefnet.com and wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!  12 Ways to be Thankful

Why is this happening to me?

Each of us are special in our own unique way. We were all put on the Earth--in this time and space--to make certain contributions to the human experience.

Many of us have experienced some things that have us asking ourselves "why is this happening to me?" We question why we have to endure certain things in our lives but I strongly believe the universe knows who we are destined to be and uses our life experiences (and sometimes the experiences of those close to us) to shape us and guide us to our destiny. The key is to shed the "victim" mentality, stay open and positive and express your gratitude (daily) for your experiences. This will lead you to the happiness and self-fulfillment you are seeking.

A Celebration of Life

In a few days I will celebrate my 5oth birthday! I know many women will read this post and cringe. They will not believe that I am shouting to the world that I am half a century old. Well, that is exactly what I'm doing.

I choose to see my 50 years of experience as a valuable asset instead of a liability. I choose not to define myself and my self worth based on a social system that punishes people for gaining age, wisdom and experience. I choose to acknowledge the past, embrace the present and anticipate the future (especially the new benefits I'm going to get through my AARP membership...lol...that's right, I'm a card-carrying member now) as I would not be who I am without my experiences!

As I continue my journey toward eternal happiness and achieving my life's destiny of love and service to others, I'm taking a moment to celebrate this milestone in a life-long filled with beauty, peace and gratitude. Now pass the Cabernet and let's party! :>).

Namaste!

Low-Hanging Fruit

We tend to think in broad terms—we’re accustomed to looking at the big picture: what we’ll be when we grow up, what we’ll do once we finish college, who we’ll marry, etc. While dreaming and setting goals are good, we often miss out on the magic of the present moment when we’re focused on the future.

Take a few moments to go deep within yourself. Feel where you are at this very moment. Give yourself credit and be grateful for the accomplishments you have already made. Acknowledge your greatness and uniqueness. Identify and use the low-hanging fruit currently available to you (ideas, creativity, skills, personality, contacts, etc.) to see what you can do to catapult yourself to the next level. Set shorter-term goals if necessary and use resources you have at your disposal right now to continue on your path to greater happiness and personal success.
