Fun sayings, positive affirmations and powerful quotes.

A good conscience is paradise.

~Jacobus Arminius  (1560 - 1609)

  Dutch Theologian

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

~Emily Bronte  (1818 - 1848)

  English writer

Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed.

~Erica Jong  (1942 - )

  American writer

This is one of my favorite positive affirmations statements.

Be aware of the big difference between inspired action and activity. Activity comes from the brain-mind and is rooted in disbelief and lack of faith - you are taking action to "make" your desire happen.  Inspired action is allowing the law to work through you and to move you.

Activity feels hard. Inspired action feels wonderful.

Rhonda Byrne

Creator "The Secret"

Here is an excerpt from the book, How to Be Rich~Compact Wisdom from the World's Greatest Wealth-Builders.

The Creative Power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention.  We are Thinking Substance, and Thinking Substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about. The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.

Also, faith is born of gratitude. 

The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon one's own mind produces faith, and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. If you have no feeling of gratitude, you cannot long retain a living faith, and without a living faith you cannot get rich by the creative method.  It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. 

(From The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, 1910)

A lovely quote by author Louise L. Hay, from her book ~ Heart Thoughts.

Everything

in our lives is a 

mirror of us.

When something

is happening out there

that is not comfortable,

we have to look 

inside and say:

"How am I creating it?

What is it within me that

believes I deserve 

this experience?"

Have a beautiful day,

Remember to breathe.

Health for your mind.

My purse dangle creation was included in a  gift bag  to Martha Stewart back in 2011.  I included two  dangles from my collection; one was for Martha and the other was for her daughter Alexis Stewart. I was really happy to be invited to send my purse dangle to Martha Stewart and just by a wild chance get some feedback.  

Maybe just maybe she would place an order. 

Not to keep you in suspense, no orders came. I am sure she received it but maybe she gifted it to someone who she thought would be worthy of it. It's all good and I had a lot of fun dreaming - good dreams of sales.

The dangle I sent Martha was HEALTH and I put a polished quartz crystal nugget with it.  For her daughter  I sent along  a JOY dangle with a quartz crystal nugget and kyanite gemstone.  Once or twice I have daydreamed that the gift maybe even  made it to the streets of New York city  clipped onto Martha's yoga bag or tote bag. 

I just came across this video with Martha Stewart  and Deepak Chopra talking about their new book releases.

Martha Stewarts new book, Living the Good life, focuses on your health as a 40 year old and older. She quoted some statistics that pretty soon there will be more people over the age of 65 then under in the U.S.A.

When I saw this video and realized that Martha's focus was Health I smiled. When I was presented with the opportunity to introduce my product to Martha Stewart I was a little nervous of gifting the right path. 
I was going to send her a LOVE dangle but I always remember my Grandmother saying "If you have your Health you have everything." 

So I chose HEALTH for Martha Stewart. 

 Alexis Stewart was a new Mother so I sent JOY her way.  

I really took my time and thought about it, what  positive energy to gift to Martha Stewart. It was chosen with heartfelt intention. 

To see Martha with a new book on Health made me very happy to see that my Grandma's voice in the back of my head chose the right path as a gift for her.  

                      

Deepak Chopra's co-authored book  Rudolph E. Tanzi tackles the lifestyle choices that takes on preventing Alzheimers disease. 

To hear that lifestyle choices can affect preventing Alzheimer's is really encouraging.

Have a beautiful day,

Remember to breathe.

Create New Direction.

It is nice to be reminded that there are people doing amazing things out there  and we are again reminded this year with Amazing People video 2013.


Creating New Direction is the phrase that comes to mind when I watch this video. Going out of your way to break a pattern and do something new. Instead of walking to the store in one direction, walk another block and create a new path. Or back your car into your parking stall instead of driving in straight. Move the milk to the second shelf on your fridge instead of the top shelf. Buy yourself some flowers.

Put some images of a sport you would like to try  on your vision board at the beginning of the year and see what happens. No time for a vision board - just put it on your fridge. One image of a sport or of you doing something grand.

These little out of the box feelings give your mind and your senses a kick start.

Another suggestion is set your alarm 8 minutes earlier than normal and spend your first 8 minutes of the morning - just breathing and contemplating your day.


Then grab your dirt bike and go ride up and over  a cliff.

Paddle out to the find the largest wave to surf. 

Hope on a plane and travel to the grand canyon with your parachute and go for a sail in the sky.

Skip a rope as fast as you can. 

Find some fresh powder and go skiing.

Go for a run up a hill.

Hit the water with your feet skiing.

Fly through the air with your skateboard.

Comtemplate a  life moment with just one hand holding on.


Now go outside and play...








Have a beautiful day,


Remember to breathe.
