Running low?...

“When we can’t access our inner resources, we come to the flawed conclusion that happiness and fulfillment come only from external events.”-Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance Good evening! (Running late today…. I don’t know about you, but I have made this mistake before. I have spent time continually looking for happiness in external events. The problem with that search is that our happiness becomes co-dependent. Instead of having a well to draw on from within, we require external events to “lift us up.” Not only is that...

Affirmative Statements...

Afirmative statements (or affirmations) are positively phrased sentences in the present tense. We strip out the “I should, I will, I’m going to…” and replace those words with “I am.” Let’s use the basic example of health to show how this process feeds the mind. Example A: A woman is full of unhealthy habits that she wants to change.

Today is a tough day for me…...

  “The longevity of our soul lies not only in the hand sof God, but in how we are remembered.”-Wendy Louise …a.k.a. my mom  Good morning! Today is a special and bittersweet day for my family. On this day in 1970, my brother was born. We lost him tragically in October of 1997, from a fatal reaction to a bee sting.

Let go and trust…...

Of course there is no formula for success except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. Arthur Rubenstein Good morning! Throughout thmy Good Morning inspirations, I share what I have found to be formulas for successful living. Each formula I have shared has contained, in essence, intent-action-belief - faith-and then letting life happen. Reread today’s quote several times and really absorb what the words mean. Remove “success” and try “peace” or “happiness” or “contentment” or...

Stepping up to the plate…...

 ”Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”-Ambrose Redmoon Good morning! We often admire others we see as “courageous.” We admire their drive, their spirit, and their commitment. It is easy to wish we could live without fear and with such devotion. I love this quote because I think it speaks an important about truth about courage. People are not courageous because they do not feel fear: people are courageous because they have found something that is more important than their fear....
