Starting your day with small positive thoughts is like giving yourself a mini pep talk to set the tone for the hours ahead. Just like a warm-up before a big game, these little moments of optimism can prepare your mind for whatever challenges you might face. It might seem like a simple thing, but the impact can be huge. A positive mindset in the morning can enhance your mood, increase your resilience, and even improve your interactions with others throughout the day.

... My grandmother had this growing wild in her neck of the woods. I find myself going back to those woods a lot more lately. A sanctuary of nature and love. The flower has delicate lace-like flowers and is associated with beauty. The flower is sometimes referred to as 'bishops flower' and therefore it has come to symbolize safety and refuge. Oh to be back there on that front porch swing on a humid summers eve with the crickets cricketing and the firefly's lighting up the yard like magic......

Let's talk about humidity. Humidity is GREAT for your skin, but not so much for your heart health. If you have sensitivity to heat stroke - this only complicates the issue. So when the humidity is high drink lots of liquids .... dress cool in light fabrics ... take things slower / no rushing about ... stay with light foods / eat small portions and often ... breath with intention ~ deep & slow breaths ... and believe it or not practice a meditation.

Follow this 6-minute cooling meditation from Sonima's Just Sit Series, created by holistic health expert Lisa Hedley, to cool the body after a hot and hazy s...

What would solitude be if it didn’t have some greatness to it? For there is only one solitude, and it is large and not easy to bear. It comes almost all the time when you’d gladly exchange it for any togetherness, however banal and cheap; exchange it for the appearance of however strong a conformity with the ordinary, with the least worthy. But perhaps that is precisely the time when solitude ripens; its ripening can be painful and sad like the beginning of spring… What is needed is only this: solitude, great inner solitude. Going within and meeting no one else for hours, that is what one must learn to attain. To be solitary as one was as a child. As the grown-ups were moving about, preoccupied with things that seemed big and important because the grown-ups appeared so busy and because you couldn’t understand what they were doing. ~Rainer Maria Rilke~

This is the time to make an important commitment to something that really matters.

We are not talking about minor decisions. We are talking about very important commitments with the potential to significantly change your life.

There are not that many important commitments we can make in a lifetime. It’s committing to a partner. This commitment alone can shape the rest of our lives.

It’s committing to a health regimen. This can potentially lead to 10-20 years of improved health and more years to our life.

It’s committing to a career, a business, or a project, which has the potential to not only change our lives but leave a legacy for future generations.

At this Full Moon ... what are you committing to?

”Be So Busy Living Your ~ That No Toxicity Can Steal It”

They say the best thing we can do is just live the best life we can live. Enjoy your life. Do not allow toxic people or situations to enter your life and if they are there release them to live in their own misery.

Toxicity is , literally. It will eat away at you and harm you. Toxic people in every walk of life feed and live on hatefulness and unrest and control. It’s all about control.

Every day comes change …If things bother you, people bother you and they bring out the worst in you then they are not FOR you. Those types will never give you what you need…peace and joy.

The past five days have seen hateful and vile things reveled. I’ll admit that it got the best of me. Yesterday I was just angry …. For no particular reason. That is on me. A really amazing astrologer noted last week “ What has been hidden will be revealed. It won't be pretty but the truth cannot remain hidden for long.”

So back to life….Live for today, plan for tomorrow , keep in mind all things can and do change. Most of all never let anyone anywhere steal your joy! ~ Marc Jones, " The Consignor's Designer" ~

I headed to my local park for my morning walk and meditation .... as I rounded the corner .... this was my view .... sparkly fairy happiness strewn all over the ground .... ... see the in your morning.

My power today lies in . My reputation precedes me. But I would be mistaken to assume that I have nothing left to learn or teach. I am ready to consolidate my resources; channel my experiences; protect a legacy and pursue new meaning. The pen has become mightier than the Sword. I am empowered by mastery; mandate; responsibility & my virtue is honor in authority. Not flying beneath the radar today.

While sitting at my computer this morning, checking emails for the day, there was quite a cacophony of 'caw-caw' happening outside my window. So I walked outside to my front yard to see four crows perched on the wires. They watched me as I watched them. One by one they eventually flew away. The meaning of is apparently quite significant. are messengers of the ... the number four is represents stability, balance, and the four cardinal directions and the four elements. When four crows appear together, it can be seen as a sign of harmony and a reminder to find equilibrium in all aspects of life ... symbolizing a period of significant change and growth ... with the presence of four crows, you are reminded that you are never alone on this path.

Sometimes we get so caught up in planning and postulating, that we forget why we started on a particular pathway. If no one sees this site ~ that's okay. These are my thoughts. I lost myself somewhere along the way. I made my decisions on the actions of others. I see that now. Standing your ground is not easy, and I let my stance on life and love falter ... but not anymore.
Be Brave ~ Be strong ~ Be true.

Being healthy doesn't have to taste bland .... took a trip to yesterday and found green grapes ... but there's nothing everyday about this fruit. Cotton Candy grapes taste exactly like cotton candy. They're sweet and juicy and have a hint of vanilla, with all the best tastes of pink spun sugar and none of the sticky mess. Cotton Candy grapes are a product of the time-honored practice of plant breeding, using different varieties of plants to create a new hybrid. These still-rare grapes may seem like designer fruit, but horticulturalist wasn't trying to create something exclusive when he developed these grapes in 2011. His goal was to prioritize taste and give consumers more options when they go to the grocery store and to do it without the use of artificial flavors or genetic engineering.

Ever since I hit the age of 50, securing my financial freedom has been paramount. Looking back, I see that the key factors fall into four categories ~family support, career choice, money management, and personal habits & attitude. Here's how you can use these building blocks to reach your goals.
Start from a Strong Foundation: Some of us were fortunate to start out in families that instilled integrity, prudence, and hard work. If that's your experience, you can be grateful. But, if not, then it's still within your power to cultivate those qualities now. Not only will that create the conditions for your own financial success, but it will benefit everyone around you as well.
Throughout you will need patience. Typically the personal and financial decisions that will pay off in the long run require sacrificing a little today. Patience helps you live with the reality that true rewards usually require some short-term discomfort.

So much anxiety today. If I don't get my walk in everyday ~ I really think I might explode!!! is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.

Here is the secret to finding balance in your life .... there isn't one, because a balanced life is different for everyone. You can read all the self help books on the shelves, you can talk till your blue in the face, you eat right, exercise, remove people or places or things ~ but until you find that small 'Aha' voice .... you won't find secure footing.. Most of us just shift one side to the other trying not to topple over, but remove one of those precisely placed rocks and the whole structure collapses. Instead, look for stability ... whatever that is to you. Be satisfied with what you have. You might want more, but acknowledge that your current situation is okay to be workable, you might not be where you want to be ~ but you know it could be worse. There are eight areas that you can consider: Mental health; Physical; Emotional; Spiritual; Social; Environmental; Financial; and Occupational. Look ~ you can't be positive all of the time, that is actually unhealthy. It's called avoidance. Take each aspect and look at it carefully with a calm mind and see where changes can be made ... one step at a time. #150.8

I was musing over life and FB memories - and a memory from one year ago popped up. A photo of cuttings from my cousins garden. ... she loved that garden and shared all of her prize plantings and failures [Saratoga gets mighty hot] She even covered her seedlings one year with tiny umbrellas!!! But I digress .... she has since moved and that garden grown dormant. In our email conversations she sends pictures of her new home and the process to build a new and larger garden is under way. It was a poignant reminder that building something of value takes time, hard work, failures and disappointments. Not every seed planted will blossom, but if you are tenacious and steadfast ... what does bloom and grow will be something spectacular. #148.4

Seeds can be used for so many things!!! Who knew!!! The vitamins A, C, and E in the avocado seed may improve the health of the immune system, vision, and blood vessels. Avocado seeds contain potent anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions.
