Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Making sure that "I" am one of those "things" that gets taken care of in a day.

 Good morning!



UGH! Today I gotta make a list! LOL
Now I usually write a few things down each day that are my priorities that I want to focus on, but today I realized that there are a LOT of little things I was "hoping" to remember and get on top of that "got away from me".
I used to beat myself up about forgetting things (and others would gladly jump in and chime in about "HOW could you???"....), but today...I'm not doing that.
I'm grateful that there was someone else on top of things...I'm grateful that I DID get something done like organizing our weekend trip we just had (directions, phone number, buy the food, pack the food, make the food, get extras and essentials packed, and OFF we went...), getting the boys registered for their first quarter of school (kinda)...getting glasses ordered as a family...getting the work done that I needed to for the program I am hosting, and getting other things sorted like laundry, dishes, meals...
We have a LOT of stuff to do on a daily basis...or at least I have seen. gotta make sure that "I" am one of those "things" that gets taken care of in a day.
I am the "non-negotiable" part of my day. At least when it comes to my headspace. And then my body gets some love...in increasing measure.
First things first....and then everything else can follow. And it's usually the priorities, and then yeah...everything "else" will be going on the "list" 🙂
What are your main priorities each day?

Staying consistent in holding value




 Good morning!

VALUE! Not the "bargain" kind, the "priceless-irreplaceable" kind.
YOU! ❤
And staying consistent in holding value....for you, your life, and those in it.
Years ago, after returning back from flatline, I made a choice on how I would show up in my second chance at life. I was going to make the most of it and focus in on my longevity as best I could. I spent many years as an immune-suppressed individual and now, I was going to focus on being around and beneficial for my family. It was so "altruistic" of me.
But I soon found out that altruism was NOT going to keep my family safe. I had nightmares of all types of scenarios happening and all of them ending in similar ways, no matter my sacrifice, it couldn't save them. I began looking to personal development and counselling experts in areas of my life I wanted to grow stronger.
The personal development stuff just felt so "fluffy". So I looked to the older and more proven speakers and authors that helped people specifically and all of them said....if you want someone else to grow in your life, you first have to grow. If you want something in your life to change, you first had to change....UGH!! So much work LOL 😃
So I turned to immunity and longevity. Surely I could do something to my environment to make things better. And I did. Outside actions that helped to improve the environment for my family. But it still didn't help that I was still not as fortified as I was hoping to be. Then I remembered a moment where I was crossing to catch a bus while pushing the stroller and using it for physical support like a walker when an 80+ year old woman looked at me as though I was OLD...she commented that I was too, so that didn't help. But she gave me a "key".
From that moment on, I focused on VITALITY in the "older" community. If you see older people than you doing things you don't feel able to do, then your ideas of "aging" are keeping you trapped in a grave you haven't reached yet. I take tips from my dear friends who are almost twice my age!!!
What are you giving value to? And are you EVEN in the picture?
I am now!
I was on track to my fortified immunity and awesome vitality and then I took a HUGE emotional blow. It sapped me. And I came off track. It was a slow derailing, but it came off all the same. And currently, I am in the PROCESS of gaining my momentum again. But what MY momentum is, for others is a speeding train. Like that 80 year old lady who was hunched over, but beat me across the street....she knew to make the best of where she was at while choosing better, and I can do the same as well ❤
I choose to SEE others WHERE they are at and have chosen to be. I also CHOOSE to see others where they can be in beautiful radiance.
I have people who are WILLING to be on this journey of change and freedom and would like others to join us. People that are willing to hold themselves in VALUE not just for themselves, but for those precious ones in their lives as well.
The 8 week program begins next week. PM if you are interested in learning more.

Fullness of experience.

 


Good morning!

Fullness of experience....
This morning was off to a great start...celebrating my journey and progress...holding to my direction and taking the necessary steps to move forward....continue to grow my tree of Faith so that it bears good fruit....deep breathing exercises....and yet...to some in my life I am a liar, a fraud, a mockery, a mess.
This IS why your personal journey WITHIN you is SO vital and important. Because honestly, there are those around you that refuse to know more than just what they see and want to hold on to believing. They aren't looking to your growth or evolution. They aren't looking for your invisible journey of things you alone get to know and experience. They don't want to hear about your observations and ponderings... they are not into connecting and learning more about you...
That does NOT mean that you shouldn't. I'm telling you...get IN THERE! Go within your mind and heart and BE with yourself....with love and compassion. LOL bring a hot chocolate or coffee and just breathe and sit ❤ Enjoy the sunrise...with yourself....drink it in ❤ Because in that space "within", you are not alone....you have the vastness of life itself dwelling with you...sipping coffee and beaming at the sight of the colours coming over the horizon.
