SPEAKING WITHOUT WORDS

Good morning, everyone.  I was very lucky to be introduced to international travel at a very young age for which I am grateful.  Traveling is a wonderful way to see the world.  It is a wonderful way to experience different foods and to see different sights.  There is nothing to deter me from traveling to places I have never been.  Not even the fact that English is the only language I know.

Today's quote is, "Words aren't the only way a language is spoken."  Language can be spoken in multiple ways.  We've all heard of body language.  That's the same everywhere.  Our eyes tell a story, and our expressions speak volumes.  

Never let the fact that you are not multilingual stop you from going to exotic places.  A smile is the same in any and every language!

Have a wonderful day everyone! ~Love, Amy

TURN UP THE VOLUME WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR INTUITION

Good morning, everyone.  It may be super quiet where you are at this very moment but you know what you can always hear no matter how quiet it may be?  Your intuition.  That's right.  That is something that remains loud and clear at all times. Whether you choose to listen is something else altogether.

Today's quote is, "When your intuition speaks raise the volume."  I don't know about you, but I have deep conversations with myself all the time.  Talking things through with yourself or someone else helps in making crucial decisions but sometimes those conversations are completely unnecessary because your intuition is already doing the talking.

We instinctively know when something feels right or something is off yet all too often we ignore those feelings because we don't trust ourselves.

How many times have you said to yourself, "I knew I shouldn't or should've..."  That's because you knew all along what you should or should not have done.  You chose to turn off the volume of your intuition even though it was already on full blast.  Turn up the volume on your intuition.  It is the one voice that will never steer you wrong.

Have a beautiful day everyone! ~Love, Amy

ASSUMPTIONS MADE AND GIVEN

Good morning, everyone.  Ever notice how everyone is an expert these days on just about everything?  Just today I watched a tik tok video where a Reiki teacher was telling everyone that taking Reiki 1 and 2 together is a mistake.  I co-teach a very thorough Reiki 1 and 2 class over a two-day period.  We've been doing this for quite some time and are certain this is the way to go.  Just my opinion as the Reiki teacher who disagrees has her opinion. 

Why not leave something like this up to the potential student?  Offering an opinion when asked is the proper time to share rather than on a public forum because after all, it is just an opinion.

Today's quote is, "We are assumption makers and givers."  Too often that is exactly what we are.  We make assumptions without having the facts and give our opinions when no one asked.  Are you allowed an opinion?  Of course, but when you offer what you think as an absolute truth, it can be confusing to someone who is simply looking for different points of view.  Make sure to preface your opinion with, "I think," or "my feeling is," or something to that effect. 

Assume nothing until you know the facts.  Give advice and opinions when asked.  Even experts should be open to learning and so should we. 

Have a beautiful day everyone! ~Love, Amy

BUTT OUT

 Good morning, friends.  You'd have to be asleep not to notice the divisiveness in our world these days.  There are arguments about social issues on a daily basis and everyone wants to be heard and everyone wants to be right without acknowledging another point of view.

I have a suggestion which also happens to be my quote of the day, "Stay out of the war that will never be won."  Doesn't that make more sense?  Having been there I can tell you without a doubt that it is the only way to go.

If you are a Sicilian pizza lover, odds are you're not going to convince a regular pizza lover that yours is better. If someone believes the world is flat you are not going to change their minds even though photos of the round earth were taken by astronauts who some believe were actors.  Oh yea, that's real.  

Trying to force your beliefs on anyone never works.  Listen with a kind heart and let it go.  Convincing someone to change their minds is a difficult task that could end up being a war that will never be won by anyone.

Have a wonderful day everyone!~Love, Amy

FOLLOW YOUR HEART

 Good morning, friends.  The road to our path, the one we prefer to be on is sometimes longer than we would like.  Why is that?  Because we don't listen to our intuition and follow that inner voice.  We choose instead to adhere to the program set before us by parents, teachers and adults who think they know best and because we were young and lacked experience in the world, we too adhered to their thoughts.

Low and behold, we grew up and began to form our own thoughts.  We realized that although these adults may have had our best interest at heart, the path they thought we should take didn't resonate with us.

Today's quote is, "The path to happiness - following your heart - not what you were told."  Clearly this is nothing new or earth shattering.  We know this already but how many of us actually do it?  We were too busy listening to other voices instead of our own and found ourselves in situations too comfortable to get out of.  

Is comfortable and miserable where we want to be?  Sounds like an oxymoron to me.  At some point in our lives, we come to realize what is really matters to us.  The things that were once so important begin to take a back seat when we follow our true path.  We begin to realize that the path to happiness is following your heart, not what you were told.

Have a beautiful day everyone! ~Love, Amy

TRY TRY AGAIN

Good morning, everyone.  Failure is something I have a hard time with.  I don't even like the word, yet it exists.  I've often said that failure is when you haven't learned a lesson, whatever that lesson might be.  Failure in itself is looked at in such a negative light but it can be positive.

Today's quote is, "Failure is the motivation to try again and succeed."  Don't let failure deter you.  Let it push you to try as many times as needed until you get it right, whatever that it might be.  We give up out of sheer frustration because failure sucks.  No one, NO ONE wants to fail at anything.

Will I go down the list of famous people who failed numerous times but kept going?  No cause I know you don't care and neither do I.  This isn't about history.  This is about YOU!  So you fail and mess up.  OK then.  Have a good cry and  when your ready, do as Frank crooned, "Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!"

Have a great day everyone! ~Love, Amy

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

Good morning, everyone.  If you are a parent then you are also your child's first teacher.  Your every move is closely watched by these little creatures and they will learn everything from you.  Your likes, your dislikes, how to treat others and what constitutes beauty.

Today's quote is, "Teach your children to observe and they will find beauty everywhere."  That is an absolutely true statement.  If you know me, you know I'm big by sunsets and was always pointing them out to my kids who were usually super annoyed by this tiny act.  Fast forward to the present and I cannot tell you how many sunset photos I have been sent by all three of my children.

We can all agree that a sunset is magical but there is so much more.  When we teach our children, we need to teach them not just to look but to really see.  We need to teach them to slow down, to learn and not to rush by life.  It is our job as parents to show our children the beauty that exists in the world they will inherit.

Have a beautiful day everyone! ~Love, Amy
