APPRECIATE YOUR LIFE

Good morning to your and to Friday.  I know I promised I wouldn't talk about my time off this summer but it fits so perfectly with today's quote which is "What appears as a perfect life for someone might not be the perfect life for you - appreciate all you have, what you have been given and the future blessings your will receive."

Your life is yours and mine is mine.  Never wish to trade as it is all or nothing.  No one really knows the struggles others may be facing.  It's like looking at a store window.  Of course it is beautiful for the public to see but who knows what garbage is strewn behind the beauty.

Yes, even I have garbage.  we all do but I prefer to keep my own.  If you look hard and deep enough you will see that you are better off keeping your own garbage too.

We all notice what others have and what we lack.  A bigger house, a pool, an amazing job, the list is endless.  What we need to understand is that it isn't the bigger house, it's what is inside.  It isn't the amazing job.  We can't all be the head cardiologist in a hospital and would we even want to.

Wanting someone else's life is a package deal.  You cannot have bits and pieces.  We also know that so called perfect family with the perfect everything who lost a child in a tragic way.  Suddenly that life is not so perfect and yours looks pretty damn good. 

Don't look at a tragic event to realize how lucky you are.  Never look at what is missing but instead be grateful for all you do have, what you have been given and both present and future blessings.  Everything you deserve is heading your way.

Have a wonderful Friday and a wonderful weekend everyone!~Love, Amy

WE LEARN FROM EVERYONE

Good morning on this Thursday.  A new day, a new experience.  A chance for someone to cross your path and hopefully in a good way.  When we meet people who we don't connect with that is just as important as those we do.

Today's quote, "Those who have hurt you, helped  you, loved you were in y our path to hurt you, help you, love you and ultimately teach you."  That's what I mean.  Good, bad or indifferent to who we meet, everyone is here for a reason not only for themselves but for the benefit of others.

In my own experience, I have had to work with someone I would never choose as a friend or to even talk to.  We are not in my opinion compatible in any way yet we share an interest in spirituality.


Even with that, I was still unwilling to accept this person in my life.  Why?  Because there was something that made me uncomfortable and when we would talk I also did not share in her opinions.  Was she there to teach me something?  I would say so.

Compassion, openness and a willing to listen to someone else.  That is what this person taught me.  Of course we prefer to learn from those we love, those who have helped us and those we enjoy being around but it is also those who really and truly rub us the wrong way who are here to be our teacher.

Do we need to be everyone's best friend?  Of course not.  We will always gravitate towards people who we feel comfortable with even if we can't explain why.  People are like magnets.  You are either attracted to them or repelled by them.  Whether they have been a conduit or a road block in your life, know that they serve a purpose in your life.

Remember, you are never too old to learn new lessons.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

THE DEVIL IN YOUR HEAD

Good morning all.  The early morning sounds of summer are something I look forward to every day.  If you notice, each season has its own sounds.  Fall is blue jays, winter is cold silence, spring is light breezes and summer is the full cacophony of sound.  Birds, insects, lawn mowers and camp buses.

Some of them you can ignore but some are just too loud.  One sound  you should always listen to no matter what is when your intuition speaks.  Today's quote, "The real devil is the voice in your head telling you to go against your intuition."

Your intuition is your power, your self-awareness and self-knowing.  When is speaks, you need to listen.  It is called a gut feeling because it is visceral.  You actually feel it in your core.

How many times have you said to yourself, "I knew I shouldn't have..."  Because your intuition was telling you what to do and you didn't listen.  I chose to call it the devil because when you don't listen t
o your gut, your feeling of what you need to do it usually does not work out well.  

Think of it as taking a test.  When you were in school, how many times did  you write down an answer, change it and got it wrong because the first one you put down was the correct one?  I know that happened to me many times but I will attribute it to being young and not fully aware of my own power and the power if intuition in general.

Next time you have a decision to make, make it with conviction.  Put aside that doubt, the devil pushing you away from your original thought.  Listen carefully, your intuition need not scream but you need to hear,

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!~Love, Amy

DON'T JUST DREAM IT - ACT ON IT

Good morning.  Aw, my first read day.  I know I said yesterday was my first but I lied.  Yesterday was a four hour day but today?!  Free at last!  Time is so valuable.  We never have enough of it.  That's why it is said to use it wisely and that is just what I plan on doing for the next two months.

I will relax, maybe.  Take walks, definitely.  Go to the beach, for sure.  See clients and give Guided Meditations classes, absolutely!  In other words, I will be living my dream.

Today's quote, "Unless acted upon - dreams will remain dreams - actively engage in making your life exactly as we wish it to be."  That is the only way it will happen.  If we go after what we want.  It's ok to say, I wish this would happen or I wish that would happen but nothing happens by wishing alone.

Other people can help you but you need to be the main participant in your life.  Take your time.  Take small steps.  Visualize what you want and how you see your life.  Once you do that the next step is action.  Sometimes that's hard because we get scared but don't be ruled by fear.

Be stronger than your fear.  Let your dreams and desires come before fear and forge ahead.  Another important factor in realizing  your dreams is timing.  That too must be right.  Nothing will ever happen if the timing is off.  I often say, you may think you are ready but the Universe knows better, however that also does not mean you can't begin to put those dreams in place.

Although I am so happy to be doing what I want, my dreams are far from over.  The timing for certain things in my life is just not there and I recognize that but it doesn't stop me from forward motion.

Don't make excuses.  Release your fear.  Act on those dreams until they become your reality.  My support is with all of you because I believe in all of you.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy

LEAVE YOUR ADVICE AT HOME

Good morning Monday and good morning to you.  Well now that school is over, the biggest decision I need to make in the morning is whether to walk Mia before or after I have my coffee.  OK,OK, not more.  I promise.

A small decision to make indeed but what happens when we are faced with a real challenge?  Today's quote, "When someone is faced with a difficult decision don't say what you would do unless you are asked - what you would do may not be what someone else would do or want to hear."  A little wordy I know but you get it.

Are you a person who describes your problems to others and then gets irritated when those others tell you what to do?  Here's a secret about problems.  They are yours and only yours and unless you want advice, keep those problems to yourself.  It really is that simple.

We all do things differently and handle them as we see fit.  One of my favorite phrases that I learned from my dad is, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."  Isn't that awesome!  We may mean well when advising a friend but unless that advice is wanted, it may be met with resentment.

Some of us are natural problem solvers or think they are and are in desperate need of sharing that knowledge.  For the sake of friendship and sanity, don't share.  Please.  You know when you can share, advise and problem solve?  When you are asked and only when you are asked.  Until then, solve your own problems.

Have a great Monday everyone!~Love, Amy

LESSONS TO LEARN

Good morning.  Friday!  Yay!  The weeks end.  I am done for summer!  Hooray for me.  Can you tell I am a little excited?  I'm really not trying to rub it in, I'm just looking forward to devoting myself to my Reiki clients and to my Guided Meditation classes.  I'm always talking about the importance of doing what you love and for the next two months I have the opportunity to do just that.  

Today's quote, "No actually I chose to be here - I have lessons to learn and a life to refine."  Sounds like this is directed towards me but this quote applies to everyone.  Whether you believe it or not, you did choose to be here.  This is not the first time your soul has been on this earth.  

Your soul returns so that you can learn lessons you may not have previously.  Lessons such as trust, balance, releasing control, humility and grace.  These are just some examples.  People come into your life for the same reasons.  Everyone you meet serves a purpose in your learning your life's lesson.

Think about all the people in your life, your friends and family.  We may not think so but we have chosen our family.  I could never imagine having any other children in my life except for the ones that are there.  Of course they are there, they are mine and that's that, right?

Wrong.  Your children are here because they are part of your classroom.  Think of your friends and people you are close to.  We chose them because there was a connection.  There was something that we found comfort in and comfortable to be around.  Perhaps and definitely, some form of this being was in a previous life with you, even the ones that rub you the wrong way.  

You are not a clean slate.  You have been here before.  As long as you remain on this earth, you will continue to learn and to refine yourself, to grow and flourish.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone and a wonderful weekend!~Love, Amy

THE SOUNDS OF THE MORNING

Good morning.  It's Thursday today.  Already I can see I will be busy this summer.  But busy with my passion which is always a good thing.  Important always though to have moments of calm and peace.

Today's quote, "In the quiet of the morning listen to the sounds outside your mind - your to do list can wait."  OK everyone!  I'm up early and for that matter, so are a lot of you.  I know because I start getting "likes" from my quotes at 5:02.  I enjoy helping and inspiring but I'm also not on my phone every second and especially in the morning.

Every day I open the front door to literally listen to the sounds outside.  This quote was meant quite literally.  How many of us wake up and automatically begin listing and thinking of all that needs to be done not only on a specific day but the week, the month and further than that.  I can say with certainty that most of us do.

Try try try as hard as it might be to wake up and do just that.  Open your eyes, take a deep breath and think about nothing but that deep breath you just took.  It's OK to recognize the fact that you may indeed have a busy day ahead of you but don't start listing the moment your head leaves the pillow.

All that wonderful sleep you had will just go out the window.  Don't let that happen.  Instead, open that window and listen to the creatures that are welcoming their day.  I admit it's a little "Snow White," but we can learn from her because look how happy she looks.  

Tomorrow morning make me a promise.  That once you open your eyes, greet the day with a long deep breath, open your front door and say good morning to the world that awaits you.  It may be raining at this very moment but it hasn't stopped the birds from singing.  Greet the day, leave your list.  You know very well it will be there for you!

Have a great Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

ACCUMULATED ACTIONS

Good morning.  Wednesday and a new day.  Erase yesterday and begin fresh.  That isn't always easy to do as we carry our moods and thoughts from days and weeks before.

Today's quote, "One single action is never responsible for the havoc you may be experiencing but an accumulation and contribution from many."  When things don't turn out the way we want them to or we are experiencing turmoil in our lives, rarely is it because of one thing.

Several events contribute to an outcome both good and bad.  Often we blame one thing but usually it is cumulative.  Few enjoy havoc in their lives.  I hate it.  It is unsettling and anxiety producing.

It is easy to recall the steps we took to get where we wanted to be but often times when something bad happens we can't remember anything before.  This is why it is just as important to think before you do as it is to think before you speak.

Take it slow and don't rush.  Be deliberate in your thoughts and actions to that you will always end up in the best place for you.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!~Love, Amy

PROPAGANDA FEEDS THE MIND

Good morning.  Have you welcomed your Tuesday with a smile or a frown?  Whichever way it was will be determine the rest of your day.  It is the outer you conversing with the inner you and what you are telling yourself.  

Today's quote, "Propaganda is an effective tool in helping us believe wonderful or horrible things about ourselves - be aware of what you feed your mind."  We think of propaganda as something that is told to us but it also applies to what we tell ourselves.

When you put on your yoga pants before Vinyassa or your seat pants before heading for a workout, do you look in the mirror and say, "hey gorgeous!" or do you see every perceived flaw, real or imaginary?

That is indeed propaganda.  It is what we feed ourselves with a super large spoon and of course the worst part is that we believe every ugly word.  We need to stop feeding ourselves ugly words and ugly thoughts as all you will get is indigestion.

Next time you look in the mirror, see that magnificent person that is you.  See that person that is like no other and let that person know they are unique and wonderful and when you do it, use the biggest spoon you can find!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy

JOY IN ABUNDANCE

Good morning.  Back to the work week and my last one before my summer vacation.  A definite perk when working in a school.  For the next two months my time will be my own.  I will be able to take long morning walks with Mia, enjoy leisurely breakfasts, take beach excursions and offer Reiki, Distance Reiki and Meditation sessions any time of day!

I love summer and everything about it.  The heat, the sun, the smell of the air and the freedom it allows me to do all the things I enjoy.  Today's quote is "Balance and moderation for what you eat - for love, joy and happiness - never."

I couldn't agree more!  To maintain our physical health, proper diet is a must.  Eat all the good foods you like, just don't overdo it.  When it comes to love, joy and happiness you can NEVER overdo it.  Why would we ever want that in moderation?

Bringing those three things to our lives can only create more and the more love, joy and happiness we have the more we will be able to share it with others.  When you are around someone who is happy, who is clearly enjoying themselves you can feel it.  

You may not have two months off but that doesn't mean you can't find the time for simple pleasures.  I'm not talking about deep soul searching but just the slightest thing that can put a smile on your face.  A walk in the sun, an iced latte, a conversation with a good friend.

Never deny yourself what you deserve.  We all deserve love, we all deserve joy and we all deserve happiness.  Make yourself a priority and indulge in all those things.  They are not frivolities, they are the necessities of life!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!~Love, Amy

MOVEMENT AND FLOW

Good morning.  The week's end at last.  Ready for the weekend?  I'm always ready!  Big changes in my house.  The last of my college people will be home for the summer.  Much as I complain about the messiness of their bedrooms and the dishes that never seem to leave the sink, I do enjoy having them home.

The biggest change occurred when all three left for school and were out of the house leaving myself, my husband and Mia.  It was eerily quiet in the beginning and then slowly we all got used to it.  Life is like that.  It is change.

Today's quote, "Change is movement and flow - it is what is natural - the progression of life as it should be."  Children will grow up and leave.  That's what is supposed to happen.  Sad as I was to see them go, it was the natural progression.

I was happy that they all found colleges they loved.  I could have demanded that they go someplace close to home and remain there but that's not what they wanted for themselves.

They wanted to experience life away from home.  Away from what was familiar so they could learn to be independent and grow.  Change is the biggest constant in life.  It is necessary for personal growth and is the natural order of things.

Change is not only important for children but for all of us.  When our children venture out on their own we get a chance to rediscover ourselves and all that is possible for us as we approach a new stage in our lives.

Never fear change, rather embrace it.  Be excited!  Look forward to all the wonder and possibilities that life has to offer.  Keep in mind that life will take you to magnificent places if you let it!

Have a wonderful Friday everyone and a wonderful weekend!~Love, Amy

WHISPER DON'T SHOUT

Good morning to you and to Thursday.  If I shouted or whispered good morning, you would hear me but who like to wake up to shouting?

Today's quote is, "Your voice need not be loud to make a statement."  Did you ever notice that with some people a calm disagreement can turn into a shouting match?

Why is it that we feel the need to raise our voices to make ourselves heard?  In case you don't know, the louder one is not always right.  Just louder.  Sometimes we raise our voices out of frustration thinking that when we are calm, we aren't heard; however that is exactly when we are heard.

Were you raised by a yeller?  If you were then you learned early on how to adapt and the way you did that was to tune it completely out.  Think of it as when you call your kids to dinner in the loudest voice possible.  No one moves right?

But start cursing in a whisper and there they are!  Your strength need not be found in the decibel of your voice.  Stand by your conviction, let your voice be heard and remember that sometimes the loudest sound comes from a whisper.  

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

RISING UP

Good morning.  Wednesday.  Middle of the week and countdown to my summer.  Yay!  It's wonderful having two full months to work at what I love doing.  I find it hard to actually call Reiki and Meditation work.  When you do what you love, it isn't work at all.

There is no one telling me what to do and how to do it.  No rules to adhere to except for the ones I give myself.  Quite different than having a boss or someone above  you. 

Has there ever been a time when you became a victim at work?  A time where someone blamed  you for something  you didn't do?  Today's quote, "Who isn't a victim - we have all been victimized by someone or something - choose to rise above it."  That was true of me.  I was a victim of bullying by someone in authority.  

There's nothing philosophical to write about it.  It sucked but there was also nothing I could do.  I couldn't stay home.  I still had to go to work.  What do you do in a situation like that?

You deal with it the best way you know how and as my quote today says, you rise above it.  You become the better person.  It would be nice to say that no one can bully you but in reality they can, especially and unfortunately in a work environment.  

We learn early on that bullies are people with no power and the only thing that makes them feel good is to make someone else feel bad.  Bullies don't need to wear a mask.  You know exactly who they are.  

Hard as it may be, show compassion to the victimizer for the truth is they themselves are hurting inside.  You may not be able to escape it but you absolutely can rise above it.  Tap into luminous yellow and find your courage and strength, it's there!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!~Love, Amy 

UNLEASH YOUR FEAR

Good morning.  I had a great night's sleep last night.  I always do after Guided Meditation class.  Even though I am the one leading the class, I receive as much as I give.

Since writing my blog, I can't help but make it more personal.  When something needs further explanation it is just natural for me to share my experiences.  My hope is that you not only enjoy reading my blogs but that you actually get something out of them.  The fact that you can't see me makes it easier for me to speak my truth.

Today's quote, "To speak the truth takes bravery - it is to unleash your fear."  Am I being brave by sharing?  I think I am.  You know that feeling of invisibility you have when you are wearing your sunglasses?  By writing this blog I have removed my sunglasses.


We don't often speak our truths for fear of judgment.  What will people think?  Let's fact it, we all care what people think no matter how many times we hear that we shouldn't but can you have an honest friendship or relationship if you are constantly concerned with what other people think about you?

I'm not talking about the person who seems to revel in offending people for shock value and purely selfish reasons.  I'm talking about us.  The general public.  The ones who want to live life on the own terms by valuing themselves and those they care about.  

By speaking your truth out loud, you can't help but unleash your fears because now not only has everyone heard it but you have heard it too!  Be bold, be brave, take off your sunglasses and speak your truth.  Give yourself permission to express your thoughts, feelings and beliefs without shame or fear of ridicule.

To do this with honor is not selfish, it is fearless.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy

STOP CHASING

Good morning.  Another weekend gone, another Monday here.  Welcome everyone!  Lot a lot on my agenda today except for my Guided Meditation class this evening.  Hoping for a smooth sailing kind of day and the same for you.

I've been leading Guided Meditation classes for a little over 3 years.  I am a Reiki Master Practitioner with a steady stream of clients (would never turn anyone away!), wrote a book and will be the Meditation/Reiki component of a fall retreat.

When I began my journey I expected my classes to be full and my client roster to explode.  I was ready or so I thought.  Today's quote, "Chase nothing - when it is ready for you it will be there."  I know how important Meditation is to your well being and I also know the healing effect that come from a Reiki session and I was excited to share it with everyone I knew!

I wanted my sharing to come in the form of full classes and more clients.  While I was sharing I was also chasing and I found that chasing doesn't work.  At all!  Ever!  No matter how badly we want something, chasing after it is not the answer.

Things happen when they are supposed to.  We like to decide but the Universe is our boss.  We think we are ready to make changes, go forward and expand but often times the problem is the first two words of this sentence.  We think!

Go back to a time when you wanted something to happen and when it actually did.  Did it occur when you wanted or when you were ready?  Slowly my classes have been filling up and slowly people in need of Reiki are finding their way to me.

Stop chasing but don't stop doing what you love.  If you have a plan then continue.  Your journey is directly related to your path and in the end you will be exactly where you were meant to be, where you see yourself and where the Universe sees you too!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!~Love, Amy

LEARNING TO FLY

Good morning.  Friday once again.  Hope everyone's week was to their liking.  Productive, relaxing, busy, a mix of it all.  I'm glad the weekend is here again as I need and look forward to a time when I can rejuvenate my body and spirit.  Maybe do something different and go somewhere new.

Do you ever find yourself in a rut doing the same things over and over again even on your own time?  We all have chores but that's not what I'm talking about.  Today's quote is, "A cocoon is there for safety and warmth but there comes a point where we all need to fly."

The predictability of knowing what comes next can be as comforting as a warm blanket but can also be boring.  Only you know when comfort turns to boredom and only you know when the time is right to try something new.

Time can feel like forever or disappear in the blink of an eye.   At the start of summer we are all so excited to make plans and do fun and interesting things but then summer is gone along with the plans we wanted to make but never did.

There is no better time than now, this very moment to think of something you would like to try.  Something that you either never did before or made excuses as to why you couldn't.  Example time!  Last year I went to Cold Spring.  A lovely town north of me. There is a company there that rents and give kayak tours.

All summer I kept saying that I was going to go.  The Hudson is beautiful and what better way to spend a gorgeous day.  Well guess what.  I never went.  No reason.  Laziness perhaps but no real reason not to go.  This summer I decided that not only will I go, but I already made a reservation.

I could be just as happy taking Mia for a long walk but I do that every day anyway.  A four hour kayak tour is definitely something out of the ordinary for me.  And you know the worst thing that could happen?  Me neither!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend!  See you all on Monday!~Love, Amy

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG - SHOW GRATITUE ANYWAY

Good morning to you and good morning to Thursday.  Did you ever have one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and if not wrong, just not the way you want it to?  I'll answer that.  Of course you have!  We all have.

Today's quote, "Things will go wrong as often they do but when they go right - show gratitude - be joyful and concentrate on the good you just experienced."  Such is life.  Things go wrong all the time but they go right too.  Instead of focusing on what didn't work, celebrate what did!

For every time a situation is not to your liking, see how you can turn it around and make it positive.  Here is an example.  The coffee you made this morning is weak BUT, there is more so you make a fresh pot.  It's raining out BUT, you have an umbrella to keep you dry.

It is the rare person who does not look first at the negative.  It's just easier and takes no effort and besides it is always more visible.  To see the positive side of things takes more effort which is why we sink into the comfort of negativity.

It will not always be easy to find joy when something goes wrong or to be grateful when we are disappointed but life is a mix of many things.  Sadness, struggle, pain but also happiness, success and excitement.

Be willing to look beyond the surface.  We all have so much to be thankful for even if at the time it doesn't appear that way.  Show gratitude at every possible opportunity.  You will not only feel better but your entire outlook will indeed change.

Hoping everything goes your way and if it doesn't, there's always tomorrow!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

SHARE YOUR WISDOM

Good morning on this Wednesday and on this Wednesday, I have a question for you.  When you learn something new, something that is helpful to you and could possibly benefit others, do you share that information or do you keep it to yourself?

Be honest, this is a judgment free zone and one where you don't have to fear to speak your truth.  Today's quote is, "Share your wisdom for the sake of all."

Why do you suppose I didn't stop at share your wisdom but added for the sake of all?  It is because there is a distinct difference between sharing wisdom and doing it to help others.  Sharing wisdom or knowledge is always a good thing but adding for the sake of all takes it that one step further.

It becomes a completely unselfish act.  It means you want to contribute to the growth of another as well as your own.  We are sharing not to boast but sharing to honestly help other people and in doing so, we reap the rewards too.

Sometimes we don't want to share out of jealousy.  We may think that by sharing our secrets, we are giving something away and somehow we become less or not as important.

That isn't true.  That is only in our heads.  If knowledge is power as the saying goes, then share that knowledge and share that power.  What a better world it would be if we were all more knowledgeable and equally powerful!

Have a wonderful and powerful Wednesday everyone!~Love, Amy

GIVE GOOD VIBES

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday.  Another rainy day but it doesn't mean it has to be a bad day.  It will be what you decide.  Today's quote, "What are the vibes you are giving today - remember what you give you will also receive."

We all know how true that is don't we.  Our moods are palpable.  Just ask a mom with a teenager.  Moods are visible through facial expressions and body language.  Moods are something that don't need to be spoken.  We literally wear them.

Whatever mood we are in, good or bad, that is the vibe we give off.  Do you have to go around with a smile on your face at all times?  No.  Will there be times that we are not happy?  Yes.  The problem is that your bad vibes bounce to another and right back at you.

It's so much nicer to just be nice.  Easy to understand but not easy for everyone to do.  Think about how you feel when you pass a sullen faced co-worker in the hall.  Most of us would wonder if something happened and some of us would actually take it personally as if you were responsible for that person's bad mood.

A friendly nod or a slight up curl of a lip can change y our entire mood and that of someone else.  We all have rough mornings, chores that need to be done and issues we are dealing with but leave them home where they belong.

Allow those good vibes to come through whatever might be going on in your life because those good vibes you release will find their way right back to you!

Have a wonderful Tuesday and let those good vibes flow!~Love, Amy

WALKING TOWARDS YOUR FUTURE

Good morning and happy Monday.  Hope you enjoyed the weekend.  Back to Meditation at Golden Prana tonight which is always a good way to both begin and conclude a Monday.

It's always nice to have something to look forward to and it doesn't have to be a huge event.  I'm looking forward to my lunch today.  I brought Goat Gouda and rice cakes.  May not sound exciting to you but the creaminess of the Goat cheese and the crunch of the rice cakes make a great combination.

Today's quote, "Walk forward - your future is in front of you."  Yesterday's lunch is over and so are other things in your past.  Thinking about a happy memory is different than living in the past.

When we live in the past, it becomes impossible to move forward.  We literally get stuck as our minds replay past events.  Even our physical movement is different.  Notice the way you move when you are excited and looking forward to something.  It is as though you can't wait for it to happen.  Together your body and mind are completely in sync.

There are times when we know what the future will bring but there are other times when we are completely taken by surprise.  Such is the wonder of life.  Leave your past behind you and walk forward with your head held high.  Y

our future is ahead of you and not behind.

Wonderful things await you, of that I am sure.  At the moment, I will simply look forward to lunch!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!~Love, Amy

INFORMATION EQUALS TRANSFORMATION

Good morning.  It's Friday already!  I'm still waiting for summer.  We keep getting these tease days.  Super hot one day and then cold again.  Summer will be here soon enough.  The seasons need to communicate better.

If spring doesn't tell summer to warm up, how would summer know?  Today's quote, "Without information there is no transformation."  Does that not apply to everything?  I think it does.

Change is difficult without information.  To progress in any direction you need information on how to go about doing so.  It doesn't matter how you get that information either.  Whether from the internet, a knowledgeable source, a course or a book, it makes no difference

but getting proper information could mean a world of difference.

Seek the source you need to make the transformation you wish.  The responsibility is yours.  Whether it is your body, your job, your relationship, your situation, it cannot be done without the proper information.  When you have that, you have all you need to transform any aspect of your life!

Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend everyone!~Love, Amy
