The Power of Words

With every word that is spoken, you are weaving a tapestry.  Are your words creating a strong, binding, loving weave or is it loose and snarled by your judgements and perceptions? 

Sometimes it not the words spoken but the way they're spoken that matters. 

-Word

Guy Finley says:
"If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed."

Embracing Your Creative Self

Expressions of beauty through art and creativity is one of the highest honors you can give to your Creator.  In being creative, you are a creator.  Bending and shaping your world into what you desire.    By using the talents that you have been given intuitivly and respectfully you are paying homage and you will be blessed by doing so. 

What talents do you possess?

People have told me that they are not creative in any way or that they don't have creative bone in their body.  If that is something you would say, I kindly remind you to look at everything that you do and if it as a talent, because it is.  If you choose to look at what you do as creative and flowing, your experiences will become more creative and flowing.

Abraham Maslow says:
“The key question isn’t “What fosters creativity?” But it is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.”

Vincent van Gogh says:
“If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”

Simply Life

People try to make life harder than it needs to be.  Endless tasks to do.  Always on the run.  At what point is too much, too much?  When was the last time you consciously slowed down and took a moment to just be.
Will it matter in ten years if the dishes don't get done until tomorrow? 
It is okay to step away by playing catch or running around and being silly with your kids.

There was a time when I found myself rushing to get to work, worried about being late.  Then one day I decided to take my sweet time before going into the office.  I took my dogs out a little longer than usual.  I put conscious thought into my morning tasks taking my time to do so.  Funny thing was that I found myself arriving on time just as I would have if I had rushed.
Everything seemed to fall right into place when I relaxed and took the time to enjoy my life one lovely moment at a time. 

Chris Canton says:
"Simplify the complex as much as possible, and you'll be fine."

Eleanor Roosevelt says:
"A little simplicity would be the first step toward rational living, I think."

Plato says:
“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.” 
 

Word of the Day~ Create

To create means to bring something into existence. To cause something to happen as a result of one's actions.  To give rise, to produce.

Your actions, in every moment of the day, are creating your universe. 
If you bring a bad attitude to the table, it may not be such an easy existence for you. 
What are you producing with rushing around from place to place, being rude to strangers, or yelling at your children?  You are in your world stuck with what you created around you.  But, there is hope because you are never truly stuck with what you have....you can change your mind at any time and start creating a different scene.  There is always time to pivot to a new thought, idea, or action.  Freedom is yours by creating what you really want. 

Louise Hay says:
"Every thought we think is creating the future."

Henri Bergson says:
"To exist is to change; to change is to mature; to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

Word of the Day~ Choice

~Every moment of the day brings a possibility to make choices. 
~The amazing thing about life is that we have the choice to change or minds if we want to. 
~If you don't make a choice, one will be chosen for you, so doing nothing is still a choice.
~Your choice will be reflected in the outcome. 
~Choosing happiness will bring you happiness.  Choosing to be sad and self defeating, will make life be as such.

Albert Cumas says:
"Life is the sum of all of your choices."

Flora Whittemore says:
"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."

T.S. Elliot says:
"In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which minute will reverse."

Word of the Day~Timing

Your time measurement may not be the same as your creator's.  Your job is to get ready by becoming organized and then wait patiently for results.  When you least expect it, great things will happen.  Doors will open up that have never been there before.  But always, always have a smile on your face in waiting anticipation. 

Albert Einstein says:
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."

Stacey Charter says"
"Life is all about timing...the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable...attainable.  Have the patience, wait it out.  It's all about timing."

Living with Pleasure

Everyday there are hundreds of things to distract us.  TV, radio, people, magazines, jobs....to name a few.  It is up to us to pick and choose our experiences so that we may live a pleasure filled life.  How are we feeling while we do what we choose?  Do you feel good or do you feel entitled or like you are sacrificing?  When you are eating, do you mindlessly watching TV or do you eat each bite thoughtfully letting the food nourish you?  When you take your children to the park, do you talk on the phone the whole time or do you interact with them? 

If you are not getting what you want out of life, think about the feeling you put in.  Be in the vibration of the life you want to lead, if you want to experience the pleasures in life.  When the vibration is achieved, more and more pleasure filled experiences will start to gravitate towards you. 

Esther Hicks says:
"No one can deny you or grant you anything.  It all comes to you by virtue of your vibration."


Mohandas Gandhi says:
"To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer."
