The holiday season can be joyous or stressful. Which do you choose?

How often do you allow yourself to just be still and do nothing? (That question made some of you squirm). We have mastered staying busy and have forgotten how to just be. In order to just be, you need to like the company you keep...meaning yourself. Take a moment this week to just sit and drink your coffee without checking your phone, watching TV, or checking your email. Just drink your coffee and be. Pay attention to what feelings come up. These are the feelings you are avoiding feeling by staying busy. Just breathe and be!

I recently bought a house in Arizona and I’m so blessed to have beautiful flowers that continuously grow in my backyard. Thought I would share some to brighten your Friday. ❤️🌹🌸🌻

Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things!

When you come to the edge of the light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.” ~Patrick Overton

Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that’s not a sideshow. That’s the cutting edge of human intelligence.

~ Ray Kurtzweil

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop

~Confucius

As humans we do not like discomfort.

We try desperately to stay comfortable and predict the future events of our lives.

We like to know what is going to happen when, how others are going to react to us…even go so far as to structure our lives around the weather.

I am here to live my life, not to wait for it.

Yes, during trying times, it is sometimes much harder to find the joy and balance we so enjoy but those feelings are simply a state of consciousness, which means WE have control over them.
