At last it is Friday, my dear hearts!
It always amazes me how just the mere mention of that day (FRIDAY) evokes feelings of relief, joy, and happiness. I would like to challenge you to try feeling the same way for every day of the week. Why? Because every thought evokes an emotion, and every emotion evokes a FEELING. It is these FEELINGS that trigger our physiological, psychological, and nervous systems to either support us, or bring us down. This is where gratitude comes into play....What are you grateful for every day of your life? What do YOU plan to do in order to reach this balance in your life?
Remember...Thoughts do become things.
Always believe in what YOU have to offer the world. Every creation began with a thought.

Good day dear hearts! It is at last Thursday, or as I used to always say, "Thriday." Yes, the eve before Friday. :)
It has come to my attention that there are A LOT of people with a heart of a Lion, or Lioness if you prefer. With that said, I would like you to take a few breaths in, and a few breaths out, and say, "I am worthy because I am me."
Choose not to conform, but to LEAD in strength, dignity, and grace.

In the mystery that is life, there is nothing more precious than the person staring back at you in the mirror....YOU. We live in a world that is ever changing, so why shouldn't we also be evolving. Seasons come and go, the sun comes up and the sun goes down. And so the tides come in and they go out.
You see there is a rhythm in ALL things because we are a part of all that is. Begin today by seeing yourself as magnificent as the tallest trees...this does not mean arrogance, but standing tall in what is YOUR birthright!

Sometimes we create mountains within our minds, mountains that impede us from moving beyond our ordinary selves, into our extraordinary selves. When we cease to allow our circumstances to rule us, then we open ourselves to opportunities that support and guide us.
What will YOU choose?
One time I climbed a mountain only to find that all I had to do was walk.

It has been a "few" days since I have posted on our page, but I have some what of an excuse...It was my birthday week. :) My gift was a whale watching excursion! Boy was it ever epic on so many levels! Not only did we see six Blue whales, but five Humpback whales, several porpoises! I could go on and on, but won't. :)
While this video is from 2009, this will give you an idea of what we experienced. The whales were not this close, but close enough for us to experience their majesty. We were on this very boat, the Salty Lady. Thanks to the Oceanic Society!
This is one amazing experience we get to check off our list!

There is SO much to be grateful for in this world. With all of the chaos seemingly around us, there is, and always be LIGHT.
"As we are broken open by our experience, we begin to be grateful for what is, and if we live long enough...gratitude becomes a way of life.

We may sometimes ask this question, "Why does it seem like the harder I try to do something, the more difficult it is for me to achieve it!?"
We are given choices in our life to either allow things to remain the same, or take charge and do something about it.
"Every choice before YOU represents the universe inviting you to REMEMBER who YOU are and what you want."

Being in a state of bliss is a wonderful place in which to stand, and being in a state or place of having appreciation for all that you have is priceless. Gratitude is such a POWERFUL place in which to stand, because this state of mind brings many blessings into your life.
Choose to be in a place of appreciation and gratitude, and watch how beautifully your life will unfold!
