The Role of Friends & Family

“Friends and family build and nourish your success.”

From your first breath, mind, body and soul were nourished by the family and friends that touched you.

Imagine what it would be like to reach your ultimate goal and have no one there to share your triumph and success. The thrill of such celebration means so much more when it’s shared with those that are most important to you.

As you march through the peaks and valleys of life, allow friends and family to share in your journey. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you receive will be so much greater when you do.

I can’t let go

88

Baby I love you
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m never ever gonna hurt you so
When you are in my arms
You fill me up with
All your charms, baby

You are the best thing’
that I have ever had
I’m never ever gonna treat you bad
I’m never ever gonna made you sad
Step into my world
I’ll do any thing for you, baby

Believe

If only we believe…
To believe is to know that everyday is a new beginning
It is to trust that miracles happen and dreams really do come true

To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, to know the wonder of a stardust sky and
the wisdom of the man in the moon.

To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, the innocence of a child’s eyes and the
beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love.

To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us when it is time to pick up
the pieces and begin again.

To believe is to know we are not alone, that life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.

To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, and all our hopes and
dreams are within reach…if only we believe

Good morning

A Hug To Say I Love You

256

A hug to say I need you
A hug to say I care
When the nights are cold and lonely
I promise I’ll be there
Though the miles they separate us
My love for you still grows
Though I can’t be there to hold you
You’re always in my heart
Just close your eyes a moment
Just listen carefully
You’ll hear my voice calling
In the whisper of the breeze
You’ll know that I am with you
As each new sunrise comes
You’ll know how much I love you
As the moon softly sheds her light
As you lay there sweetly sleeping
Feel the touch of my loving hands
A hug to say I Love You
Till we’re together again

Renew Your Spirit and Energy

“It’s time for something new.”

Remember your first day of school or the first time you rode a bike? Or how about the excitement of your first kiss?

The older we get, it seems those “firsts” are fewer and further between. When’s the last time you started something new, or tried something for the very first time?

Life gets busy, and we can get so wrapped up in our day-to-day lives that starting something new can seem like an undeserved indulgence. But it shouldn’t be!

Starting a new project, trying something you’ve always wanted to, or revisiting an old activity you used to love doing is a great way to renew your spirit and energy. If there’s something you’ve been thinking of doing, but not getting around to – make at least one step toward it today. You deserve something “new” in your life every once in a while.

Today’s Affirmation: I am making time for trying new things.

Are you hiding behind a mask?

“Let the world know the real you.”

Have you ever noticed how children love to dress up? They love the thrill of pretending to be a princess or a butterfly. What about you? Do you still play make-believe? Do people see you for who you are, or do they see something different?

Often, we make the choice, allowing only a select few (family or friends) to see the “real” us. With everyone else, we put on a mask so they see what we want them to see (especially if our self-confidence is low). They may see a happy face that actually hides a ton of pain or insecurities.

I want you to be your best. A good place to start is to acknowledge and embrace the real you. And proudly display it to the world.

Yes, for many it’s hard because we don’t want to get hurt, it’s just easier to put up a front. But living this way, you bury the woman you’ve always wanted to be. You owe it to yourself, your friends, and you family to not keep yourself under wraps. Today, ditch your old self-imposed costume for a new, better version…the real you!

Care for Others Without Resentment

“Allow yourself comfort and joy.”

Think about everything you’ve done for other people this week; the ways you brought comfort and joy to partners, children, parents and friends. Now think about the things you did for yourself. Chances are, there’s a big imbalance, right?

As women, we need to remember to nurture our own emotional needs and make our well being a priority. Give yourself permission to feel tired or sad. Comfort yourself with a leisurely bath or an early night with a great book. Stay connected with others and seek joy through a lunch with friends. Why not treat yourself to a bouquet of your favorite flowers? There are so many things you can do.

It’s important that you comfort yourself so you have the energy to take care of others without resentment. Through this you feel comfort and joy!
