Oh The Goodness!!!

Celebrating Life

I usually think of gratitude as what good did I do and/or share today, this week, this month, or even this year! I feel good in doing good and giving back. I become more aware of the big picture instead of just focusing in on the details. I feel that I give more of myself to others, especially through inspiration and encouragement!

Be Thankful!

I really try to give thanks more than once a year! I also try not to give thankless thank you’s to others. I want to give thanks from a place of love, kindness and compassion! I also want to give thanks for not only the successes, but the challenges due to the lessons learned and the growth experienced.

The Big 3 Questions To Ask Yourself

1. What Good Did I Do/Share?
2. I Give Thanks for . . .
3. I Am Grateful for . . .

There are times the focus is on being on “OVER” everything and anything! The pressure, tension and stress kicks in. I get down on myself or hard on myself. It makes me want to have one heck of a pity party for myself!

P-A-R-T-Y!!!

Then I just think and reflect about how much good there is in my life! I need to revel in the joy and the happiness. I need to acknowledge the thankfulness and the gratefulness in my life. I need to be celebrating that and MORE!

The Biggest, Baddest Question To Ask Yourself

• What Am I Taking For Granted . . .
• How Can I Turn That Into Gratitude!

I know I can complain and woe is me all I want, but it really does not achieve any real results!

I need to be spending my time and my energy on the good and the positive! I need to work on communicating, interacting and connecting better with my greatest someone and greatest someones. I need to learn how to give and how to receive with grace, kindness and most of all love!

Growing . . . Connecting . . .

The Final 2 Questions

• How can I be more open and accept the opportunities, the changes and the challenges in my life?
• How can I be more appreciative and thankful for the lessons, the growth and the experiences?

I know I do not put my full potential out there some days! I know I do not stretch my comfort zone enough. I am working on being more open and putting myself out there more! I am trying to learn and grow from the changes and challenges that I experience in my life.

It is a process and a learning experience to become more aware, be more mindful and just have more gratitude when it comes to living the life I WANT!

Celebrating Life

Showing Up & Being Successful

Thank yourself for SHOWING UP in your life today! I was told recently to share my successes with myself on a daily basis. You deserve to pat yourself on the back and say “good job” or “way to go”. Really reflect on the positive and the successes in your every day!

Shining . . .

Celebrating Life Every Day is an AMAZING Experience! I want to let the good into my life and just let it shine. I just feel so much more energized and motivated to conquer the day. I am so WORTH IT!!!

Celebrating . . .

I am learning to forgive myself and let go of the control and perfectionism in my life. I am going to make mistakes and that is okay. I can forgive myself and celebrate my successes.  I want to find my true heart and give myself some love!

Embracing What You Got!

I am one AWESOME and AMAZING klutz in the making and have the bumps and bruises to back it up! I have to work with what I have been given and just embrace it. When all else fails I can pretend that I meant to do that and just laugh at myself!

Beeing . . .

I like to think of it as just another adventure to have fun and play! I cannot dance, but I do it anyway. Imagine ALL the things you would miss out on because you were self conscious and self critical of expressing yourself! I am not going to do that to myself. I will release my inner child or embrace the BIG kid that lives inside of me if it makes it a little easier for me to EXPRESS myself!

I want to have that 4-year old wonder and just be jumping up and down ecstatically! I want to use my imagination and go on great expeditions and amazing adventures. I want to be and I want to do everything and anything! At least once if not more.

Creating a Rainbow of Color!

I especially love being around 2 groups of people; #1 the people who just get me and #2 the creative types! I enjoy partying and celebrating life and the more games and the stories the better. You have to have animals too – ha! Life is way too short to take it too literal or serious. Cheers to Humility!

I recently read two things that spoke to me . . .

“Live like there is no midnight.” ~ Cinderella

The other thing pertained to birthday parties, so I came up with my own saying. “Life is like one BIG birthday party to be celebrated every day with cake, balloons and surprises included.” ~ RS
