A Strong Woman


Artist Unknown

A Strong Woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. 

Her tears flow just as abundantly as her laughter. 

A Strong Woman is both soft and powerful. 

She is both practical and spiritual. 

A Strong Woman in her essence is a Gift to the World.

If you're offended, maybe you need a hobby.


I'm proud of my Facebook feed.

When I do my morning scroll, it makes me feel good.

I see affirmations, positive choices, spiritual development, 
and lots of love.

However, sometimes some evil makes it through.
Evil as in "I'm so offended by "x".

Huh?

From the shape of brake lights on a school bus to kids getting suspended for imagination to witty commercial ads being pulled -
the sheeple are offended.

Good golly.

Jumping on the next upset, they rally together creating a negative riff that wastes a hell of a lot of energy.

It almost seems like this is their pastime.

What a sad existence.

Get a real hobby.

Offended by something?

I got a few thoughts. 

One - look away and forget about it. 
You are wasting your energy being so upset.

Two - can't let it go? 
Paint it out. Write it out. Walk it out. Talk it out.
Make something positive from your negative feelings.

Three - think it's really that bad? 
Then do something good. Flip the energy. 
Replace the negativity by doing a good deed. 
Pay it forward. Do something nice! Hate creates more hate. 
You have the power to stop the madness.

Four - look within. 
Why are you so offended? Were you bullied as a child? 
Do you just need a hug? What is really going on with you? 
If you can't figure it out on your own, get professional help.

Stop creating the ripple effect of wasted energy.

Move on.

Be happy.

Get a sense of humor. 

Smile.

Laugh.

Dance.

Create positive vibes!

Put good in the world.

Words to Live By-The Optimist Creed

The Optimist Creed
Have you heard of Optimist International?

They are a volunteer organization whose mission is to 
bring out the best in kids.

I'm really in love with their "Optimist Creed". 

True words to live by.

Watch the video!

The Optimist Creed

Promise yourself to be so strong that 
nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk 
health, happiness and 
prosperity to every person you meet. 

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. 

To look at the sunny side of everything and 
make your optimism come true. 

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, 
and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about 
the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and 
press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and 
give every living creature you meet a smile. 

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself 
that you have no time to criticize others. 

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, 
too strong for fear, and 
too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

My Word for 2015 is Surrender


My Word of the Year Bracelet 

It's been quite the lesson for me lately. 
I'm learning the art of letting go, the beauty of surrender.

The lesson started back in November. I was working so hard at my coaching business and it was too much. I couldn't see anything else. I stopped doing yoga, I stopped seeing friends, I stopped doing everything, but my business. 

This goes against my beliefs! 

We all need balance, but it happened to me - 
the whole I love my business so much, 
that I became obsessed in being and doing greater.

Of course, I eventually broke. 
That same day, I came across this video from Oprah.


"When you've worked as hard and done as much and strived and tried and given and plead and bargained and hoped - surrender. When you have done all that you can do and there's nothing left for you to do, give it up. Give it up to that thing that is greater than yourself and let it then become part of the flow." -Oprah Winfrey

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/548524429589868492/

I get it now.
I was too attached.
I now do all I can and then I take a step back
and let the Universe take over.

I surrender.
This week's tweetable-
"Instead of making life happen, I allow it to happen."

Tapping Tuesday ~ The Ultimate Affirmation

Hi everyone and welcome to Tapping Tuesday!
This week, sorry to report I do not have a video for you 
to follow along with.

But I do have a great idea for you!

This is one of my favorite ways to tap.

I really love to take an affirmation
and tap with it.

I always feel so empowered during and especially after.

So, to really kick it up, I have an amazing affirmation from the affirmation queen herself, Louise Hay.

Tap along the points while saying the affirmation.

Here is a reminder of the tapping points -
The Ultimate Affirmation


In the infinity of life where I am,
all is perfect, whole, and complete.

I live in harmony and balance with everyone I know.

Deep at the center of my being,
there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness,
my very being,
and radiates out from me in all directions
and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.

The supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good;
it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself; therefore,
I take loving care of my body.

I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages,
I lovingly groom it and dress it,
and my body lovingly responds to me
with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself; therefore,
I provide for myself a comfortable home,
one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.

I fill the rooms with the vibration of love
so that all who enter,
myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore,
I work at a job I truly enjoy doing,
one that uses my creative talents and abilities,
working with and for people I love and who love me,
and earning a good income.

I love myself; therefore,
I behave and think in a loving way
to all people for I know
that which I give out returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world,
for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore,
I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences,
and I am free.

I love myself; therefore,
I live totally in the now;
experiencing each moment as good
and knowing that my future is bright and joyous and secure,
for I am a beloved child of the Universe,
and the Universe lovingly takes care of me
now and forever more.

All is well in my world.

You're So Money-Affirmation

Here is a great $money$ affirmation from Louise L. Hay.
Image Credit 
My Income Is Constantly Increasing

I know that the quickest way to increase my income is 
to do the mental work first.

In order to help myself be more prosperous, 
I can either choose to attract 
or repel money and
other forms of prosperity.

Complaining NEVER works.

I have a cosmic mental bank account, 
and I can deposit positive affirmations and believe I deserve, 
or believe that I do not. 

I affirm:
My income is constantly increasing.
I have abundance in all areas of my life.

I find that I attract prosperity with ease.

Allow The Sun To Lift Your Spirits

Winter is approaching and I've been quite chilly.
I'm filling my soul with warm thoughts.

Tap into the energy of the sun...
(Picture entitled "Summer" by Priscilla Hernandez)

The sun is high

The sky is bright

I call on energy and light

To lift my soul

To fill me up

To God and Goddess, raise the cup

Summer sunshine

Filled with cheer

Laughter, joy, and friendship near

Dancing, singing

In the sunshine

Energy and light be mine


From Llewellyn's Witches' Datebook 2012

***************************************
Go outside during the day, 
stretch your arms up to the sun,
 and repeat these
 words of inspiration from Deborah Blake. 

May you be restored with energy and light!
Blessed Be!

Psychoneuroimmunology

Blog 22 of 30 ~ Effy Wild's Blogalong ~ Thirty Posts in Thirty Days 
Psychoneuroimmunology

Psychoneuroimmunology explores the relationships between the nervous system, emotions, and the immune system. 
It proves the links between our states of mind and
our states of health.

It is the important piece of a very complex puzzle - 
the puzzle of what creates and
 maintains harmony and well-being.

The premise of mind-body medicine is that our thoughts, feelings,
and mental states influence our bodies at the physical level
and express themselves in our health.

You are the master of
your immune system.

The brain influences the body, including the immune system, through nerve fibers that reach into all of the organs, the endocrine system, the bones, the muscles, the lymph nodes, and every part of the body. It also exerts both direct and indirect effects through its own chemical messengers and those dispatched by the endocrine glands. The limbic system, which is an evolutionarily ancient collection of deep brain nuclei involved in the generation of emotional responses, reaches into the autonomic nervous system and the immune system through its connections with the hypothalamus.

The connections between the hypothalamus and the immune system are bi-directional. The brain not only transmits information to the immune system, but also receives information back from it. This is the basis of neuromodulation of immune function and it is the way in which states of mind influence the body, and the way in which states of the body influence the mind.



The three traditionally separated fields of neuroscience, endocrinology and immunology, with their various organs—the brain, the glands, the spleen, bone morrow, and lymph nodes—are actually joined to each other in a multidirectional network of communication, linked by information carriers known as neuropeptides.



We have an incredible intelligence and power within us that constantly responds to our thoughts and words.
As we learn to control our minds by the conscious choice of thoughts, we align ourselves with this power.
Life is very simple if you understand 
what we give out, we get back.
What we think becomes our reality.
When we create harmony, peace, and balance in
our minds, we have it in our lives.

By this understanding, we see we can create illness in our body. The body is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs.
The body is always speaking to us.
When you learn to listen to your body, 
you can find your imbalance.

Louise L. Hay, a metaphysical lecturer and teacher, writes amazing books on this subject. She says physical illness can be changed mentally. Her books lists illnesses with the probable cause and the new thought pattern implemented by an affirmation. By using the new thought pattern, you can eliminate the illness.

For example, you are suffering stomach issues.
The probable cause is dread, fear of the new, 
and/or inability to assimilate the new.

The affirmation is 
"Life agrees with me.
 I assimilate the new every moment of every day.
 All is well."

Maybe you have been fatigued.
The probable cause is resistance, boredom, 
and/or lack of love for what one does.

The new thought pattern is 
"I am enthusiastic about life and 
filled with energy and enthusiasm."

We are responsible for everything in our lives-the good, the bad, and the ugly. Each one of us creates our experiences by our feelings and our thoughts. The thoughts we think create our reality. Why not manifest a healthy reality
 if you hold the power?

When we have something in our present that is undesirable,
then we must use our minds to change the situation.

Change your thoughts. Change your life.
Practice affirmations. Build positive energy within you.

You can build positive energy by mediation and visualization. Sit quietly, calm the mind, and visualize yourself HAPPY. Let this feeling become familiar to you. Build upon it. You can start visualizing good health, good relationships, 
a new car, the list goes on.

We are unlimited in what we can do.

All the events you have experienced in your lifetime up to this moment have been created by your beliefs and your thoughts you held in the past.

What is most important is now.

Live in the now.

Choose to think, feel, believe,
and live right now.
By understanding psychoneuroimmunology 
we have the power to
be healthy in body, mind, and spirit.

You hold the key to happiness.

You have the power!

Friday, I'm in Love

Blog 16 of 30 ~ Effy Wild's Blogalong ~ Thirty Posts in Thirty Days 

It's Friday.

Friday is a good day for love

Here is a love poem to stir the lover in you.


When I look into your eyes

There are times I see lightning

But there are those other times

When I see the soft rainfall.

~ Tim Ohr


Found by Chris in my "Love is an Awesome Thing" book
This is one of my favorite books. 
The paintings alone make me smile. 
It was one of those brilliant rare finds in 
a used book store in Orlando, FL.
I suggest you check it out if you ever come across it.

sharing dreams,
taking chances.


Love means
spirits bound,

contented souls,
happiness found.

I Love Myself

I Love Myself Totally in the Now

Love is the biggest eraser there is.

Love erases even the deepest imprinting

because love goes deeper than anything.

If my childhood imprinting was very strong

and I keep saying: It's all their fault,

then I can't change.

I stay stuck.

So, I do a lot of mirror work.

I look at my reflection in the mirror

and tell every part of my body and soul

that I love it.

I do this every morning when

I wake up and every evening

before I go to sleep.

I love everything about this wonderful soul

that is me.
