Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
~Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)

I "count it all joy" in the midst of adversity
~(James 1.2 AMP)
The Bible
This is one of my favorite positive affirmations statements.
To understand the power and the magic of gratitude, you have to experience it for yourself. So why not begin by deciding to find 100 things a day to be grateful for?
If you practice gratitude every day it won't take long before gratitude is your natural state of being, and when that happens you will have unlocked one of the greatest secrets to life.

EVENING PRAYER
Dear God,
Thank You for this day.
Thank You for my safety and the safety of my
loved ones.
As I enter sleep, may these hours give me peace.
May they bring healing to my mind and body.
While I sleep, dear Lord, please bless the world.
Where there is pain, where there are people who
have no place to sleep, who suffer and who die,
may Your angels come unto them and minister
to their lives.
Amen.
A lovely quote by Louise L. Hay from her book ~ Heart Thoughts.
Meditation
is really just
quieting yourself
enough so you can
get in touch
with your
own inner
wisdom.
Have a beautiful day,
Remember to breathe.

My reflections for this year are focused on the daily process of believing in a brighter future.
Even when the obstacles show up I am committed to remain in a hopeful optimistic space. My personal journey through this year has been anchored in daily gratitude. There have been many a time where I had to remind myself of the glass half full versus the glass half empty attitude.
I still have dreams of my company expanding with new designs. The website changes should be complete in a few months and although the changes are not big I am excited for the new framework I am developing for myself. The new designs with a new direction, feels natural. I am not rushing the process.
The time spent on myself has well been worth it. The few minutes a day that are just for me allow me to stay connected to my inner happiness and reflect in a positive way toward being a successful entrepreneur. Working at being more consistent at this is what I look forward to in the New Year.
Breathing/meditating for 5 to 15 minutes a day never disappoints me.
I am always curious to find some nice Christmas music that is a qualifier for the Feel Good category in my collection of music. I clicked on this first song while I was multi tasking doing some dishes and found it quite melodic and relaxing to listen to. I find while I am tidying up my mind is already racing in my head to the next task as I hurry through house chores. Have to say this music added a enjoyable element to a necessary day to day event any time of the year. I would visit this beautiful artful music any time I want to drift away in my head.

I received an email from a friend about a great sale at Eddie Bauer. She went on to explain that all the down vests were on sale and a what a fantastic savings it was. Her last sentence noted that it was the Eddie Bauer location in Flagstaff Arizona, where she lives and remember to buy local.
Got me thinking about local products to British Columbia, Canada.
I wanted to offer up something local that was available to purchase without having to drive for three days.
No, I did not find any local down vests on sale.
Here are two Canadian Bands from the West that I thought were highly original and I enjoyed their two uniquely different styles and sound.
Said the Whale ~ The light is You - music video.
Music is a great Christmas gifting idea. Even if you are buying someone a Christmas themed album or venturing out into music that is new and different.
We are The City ~ I never want to sin again - music video.
Have a beautiful day,
