I came across this poem about 15 years ago…it came at a perfect time for me and I’ve kept it close by in my office and read it frequently for inspiration.  It always leaves me smiling and has helped me personally and in my business.  I have been unable to find the writer’s name so if anyone knows it let me know.

I hope you find it inspiring as well.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Believe In yourself…and in your dreams

though impossible as things may seem,

someday, somehow you’ll get through….
to the goal you have in view

mountains fall and seas divide, before the
one who in his stride…..takes a hard road,
day by day….sweeping obstacles away.

Believe in yourself and in your plan….
say not ~~ I cannot~~ but I CAN !

The prizes of life we fail to win…..
because we doubt the POWER WITHIN !

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We all have dreams…what are yours?  Most of our dreams feel impossible.
But if you set your goal, stay focused….don’t give up when you hit an obstacle… you will find that you do have a power within, that is truly amazing !

Feel free to pass this along to your friends.

Have a fantastic weekend

Peace & Healthy Blessings,

Today I wanted to touch on something very important but something that many of us (myself included )  tend to overlook or push aside……and that is taking time to take care of ourselves…nurturing and replenishing our inner spirit.

What have you done lately that you thoroughly enjoy and feel wonderful afterwards?

Yoga, Meditation, Walking, Exercise, Read a book, do you enjoy crafts, cooking….it can be something very simple like brushing your dog.  I know I love brushing my dog…I may put off doing it at times but I know that during and afterwards I get a feeling of peace that comes over me and stays with me for some time through the day.

We tend to get so caught up in our work, our everyday lives…just living that we let ourselves get too busy for our own well being.

We have always been told what we should or shouldn’t be doing.  Were you ever told to listen to your heart…your inner self…not too often were we?  If you are feeling overwhelmed, over worked, confused or drained then now is the time to take notice.

I’m a bit of a workaholic since I work from home for myself….I’m my best employee !  Well yesterday my grandaughter was here..she is 7 1/2.  I had some work I had to take care of on my computer…some emails that needed answered…well she comes into my office and asked if I’d go outside with her and watch her ride her bike.  I told her I had a few more minutes of my work to do and then I wanted to clean the dinner dishes up and then we would go.  She went back out in the living room to watch some tv and wait.  I took care of my emails, came out…looked at the dishes and said “ya know what…dishes can wait…lets go outside.”  Big Smile on her face and out we went.  She started riding her bike, I was watching her and I looked over and saw quite a few weeds had grown on the side of the house so I started pulling them.  That sense of peace & calm came over me and I started remembering how much I always enjoyed working in the yard…in the dirt..whether it be planting flowers or pulling weeds.  This was something I rarely did anymore.

What made it even better was my grandaughter quit riding her bike and came over and started helping me……we talked and pulled weeds for about an hour.  We also uncovered a small bed of snapdragons we had planted and that had become totally invisible from weeds.  While rescuing the flowers my grandaughter found a lady bug.  You would have thought she found a million dollars.  I just sat there and enjoyed watching and feeling her excitement at such a little thing.  She is a real nature lover.  It was the most rewarding 60 minutes I had spent that day.

I guess I just want to put a reminder out there to you and others that it can’t be all work…and no play.  You need to not only take care of your physical body with nutrients, exercise and proper rest….you also need to fuel your mind & spirit.  It all works together.  When one is not properly taken care the others will suffer.

So take action today….what fuels you…where do you find that peace?

Spending time with family or friends…Walking/Exercising…Reading a good book…Affirmations…watching a good comedy….listening to your favorite music (I love music !  one of my favorites )

How about taking one day and don’t schedule anything in particular….don’t even look a the clock all day….try that out…you might feel so darn good that you’ll make it a weekly or monthly ritual.

Just sitting for 5-10 minutes and doing some deep breathing can calm and relax you, helping to eliminate any stress and also set your body into a healing mode.

Start today and begin caring for YOU….don’t think you are being selfish becasue YOU MATTER !  and you can’t help anyone else if you are not  feeling wonderful.

Now Go !  Enjoy yourself today…make it a  Good HABIT !

As always I hope this information will be helpful to you.

Stay safe, healthy & happy !

Healthy & Prosperous Blessings to you,

Happy New Year everyone ! 

 While everyone is setting their new goals for 2010 to be more prosperous & successful in their business I would like to remind everyone and to ask you to set one more goal….to become a better person.  I know you already are a good person but sometimes we just need reminders occassionally to realize it is not just about the money and success.  The most important thing we need to do every day is to be good to ourselves, enjoy life and be good to others.

Here is a small portion of a newsletter I receive that is always full of wonderful inspirational & informative info.

You’ve already set some significant goals for 2010. (You have, haven’t you?) And today, I’m going to ask you to set one more: to become a better person.

You are going to do that by making a commitment to…

• pay less attention to yourself and more attention to other people

• focus on opportunities, not problems

• listen first, talk later

• criticize only when your criticism is helpful

• never speak badly about anyone

• never complain about anything

• perform an act of kindness every day

This will have a profound effect on your happiness. Nothing else you do will bring you peace of mind. Money won’t. Success won’t. Fame won’t.

The secret to substantial and enduring happiness has nothing to do with putting yourself first, nurturing your inner child, or any of the many other forms of narcissism so popular among today’s pop psychologists. As someone who has spent too much time in the vain (and I do mean vain) pursuit of self-gratification, I am here to tell you that happiness and fulfillment in life is usually about doing less for yourself and more for others.

This is just a portion from The Michael Masterson Journal and you can subscribe for free at www.earlytorise.com 

Find Joy in all you do.

I appreciate you !

Sincere Blessings,

Hello My Friends

I really need to share something important with you right away. 

We’ve all heard expressions like “If it sounds too good to be true,
it probably is…” or “If it’s f.r.e.e., it must not be worth
anything…” 

Well, for the past two weeks, this very interesting lady has been
sharing these amazing money videos that blow those ideas out of the
water…and the timing couldn’t be better.  Who DOESN’T need more
money? 

It’s hard to believe she just keeps giving this stuff away, but
here’s another one: 

You can view the Free Video here    Secret of Intentional Wealth

Over 56,000 people have watched her videos in just the last two
weeks! 

She’s teaching a crazy-looking technique to overcome our challenges
around money…but it’s even crazier how fast it works. 

Check it out:

Hello My Friends

Over the past few days, there’s been something really amazing
happening all over the Internet.

A lady named Margaret Lynch has been sharing these really powerful
videos about how to tap into your potential, set outrageous goals
and then literally “tap” away any blocks to achieving what you
really desire in your life.  

Over 35,000 people have watched her videos in just the past few
days alone!  And many are reporting that they are having
significant breakthroughs using this “tapping” technique that she
teaches. 

It’s all about creating your own personal wealth and abundance
machine…

You should check this video out…

A Simple Solution to Attracting More Money

If you’ve been using the Law of Attraction, then you already know
that the fastest way to get where you want to be is to “raise your
vibration” by releasing anything blocking you…

This technique has been around a long time but I’ve never seen
anyone work with it this way.  It’s pretty amazing, really! 

Go spend a few minutes with this video and let me know if it had
the same dramatic effect on you as it did on me. 

A Simple Solution to Attracting More Money

I look forward to hearing about your experience.

Yours in prosperity,
