GOODBYE STRESS

If the heat's been turned up on your life...if you feel overwhelmed...if the pieces of your puzzle just aren't quite fitting together...don't force it! Go along for the ride and keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times! Re-ignite your sense of humor - tell stress you're not interested in his company today and no, you don't want his business card!

TAP SHOES

Put on your tap shoes and dance into this day with wild abandon - don't be afraid to be your own crazy self. You don't have to conform, just move forward with kindness and the beauty that is you. Others will look at you with amazement and wish they could be as free. Tell them - it's easy...take their ...hand and happily teach them the steps you've learned!

THINK WITH YOUR HEART

Did you know that your heart exudes 60% more electrical impulses than your brain? Another fact pointing to the benefits of thinking with our heart! You can pass all of life's little tests by just moving forward from love. After all, it IS the Un...iversal Language is it not? Love from the inside out

COURAGE

If Amelia Earhart, Albert Einstein, Jesus, Ghandi, Mother Teresa & others had not followed their intuition we would have been robbed of their greatest gifts. All brave people who, in spite of being ridiculed by short-sighted people, never lost their passion. Ignore the noise and give peace and streng...th to your creative, loving instincts. It takes courage.

BALANCE

Think balance beam - all it takes is a little wobble to knock you off your game. It's the same with life, but like an athlete, dust yourself off and get back on. All observers cheer when you complete your routine....and are inspired by the person who climbs back up after a fall....but it is you who gains the wisdom o...f the walk, the focus and yes...the practice. Practice being in balance and make it your routine!

LAUGH

Laugh every time you get a chance to on this beautiful Sunday. I'm sure that Creator would be delighted to know that you are having fun and living with light-hearted love. Giggle with the kids....laugh at irony...smile at the mere fact that you are a living miracle that has the ability to nuture a sense of humor and ...share it with others. Laugh away your cares...it's infectious to for those around you!

Everything is Possible

Nothing is impossible when you're a child. What happened? It's not reality, it's learned failure. Is it common sense? Perhaps, but I hope your common sense tells you that, whatever it is, you can figure it out. Today, don't second guess your abilities! Show yourself that your unique perspective can make EVERYTHIN...G possible. Now, go contribute something grand to the day!

All People Have Purpose

All people in our space have a purpose. Some test our patience or give it. Others offer love or take it away. Still others give us purpose or try to make us feel worthless. The thing is...we're always able to choose the lesson. It's not personal...it's Universal! Stop, look and listen to your "teachers" today.......the most challenging or puzzling spirits are the ones that teach us the most!

I am a Piece of Divinity

Someone today may try to shame you - try to make you feel guilty or not as "perfect" as everyone else. Poor souls. They don't realize that they are simply projecting what they see in themselves but are too blind to recognize. Show compassion in the face of adversity....because, after all, you are a piece of the Divine.... Just breathe, bless and move on.

Live in Allowance

Know that other's don't carry the same vision as you...and that's okay....live in allowance. Focus on the intent that everything will be okay and open your heart to all possibilities.

Cool Idea

Cool Idea: Do you have one of those purses that you had to buy but it's so special you never use it because it could get dirty or messed up? I did...and I turned it into what I call a "Peace Purse". Inside it has all the things that bring me back to center lilke photos of my family & favorite places, a mini journal,... something from nature, a treat, etc.

Manifestation IS Real

Manifestation IS real. It's how the entire system works. See it happen. Bring it to life by thinking on it, being passionate about it, praying for it every day. The energy of your commitment is real to all of those around you and, most importantly, to your Source. Whatever you've been wishing for is on it's way......it truly is. The trick is in the patience!

The Tinkerbell Philosophy

The Tinkerbell Philosophy: The Universe sprinkles us with it's own special fairie dust every day, giving us fun imaginations, happiness and compassion! It floats onto those we're around, onto the ground for others to pick up and into our hearts to lighten our load. Stretch out your arms so that you can gather the most ...fairie dust to start your day....so you can give more throughout the day. It's simple, really.

It's Your Life

Make a Smilebox slideshow

This is the moment
It's on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all

It's your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It's an open door
It's your life

Are you who you always said you would be
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget

It's your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It's an open door

To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way

It's your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It's an open door

It's your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It's an open door
It's your life
It's your life

Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts for the Day:

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing's worse than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "mom what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
