YOU ARE SUPER

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  There are days that require us to look our best and there are days when we want to look our best.  What's the difference?  On a job interview you wouldn't wear sweat pants.  If you just purchased a new item of clothing you chose it because it made you feel a certain way.  Strong, confident, beautiful and amazing!  Every small child has a costume that they absolutely love and will wear anywhere and everywhere.  Why?  Because they love it and it makes them feel strong, confident, beautiful and amazing.  

Today's quote is, "Be your own superhero - cape optional."    Wearing a cape is one way to be a superhero but if you can't find yours, drape yourself with confidence, pride and self-love.  Let your inner light shine brightly out into the world letting everyone know that you don't need accolades or approval.  Self -love is the cashmere of all characteristics.  Wear it proudly!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

LIGHT IT UP

Good morning everyone!  Happy Thursday.  To be in the presence of joy is palpable.  I remember living on the 11th floor of an apartment building many years ago and Monday through Friday when the elevator doors opened up on the 7th floor, this enormously tall man with an equally enormous smile would get on and say "good morning" with such joie de vive that you just had to smile back.  

You definitely wanted this guy at your next party.  People like that are a joy to be around as their very 

presence creates a ripple of happiness.  Today's quote is, "The light within you will light up a darkened room."   That light is the confidence within you, the confidence you have being yourself rather than trying to please the crowd.  

The vibration of surety is at the very least a thousand watts.  Tired or energetic, good mood or bad, choose the brightness of your inner light to light up the smallest of spaces, even an elevator!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE EYES OF YOUR HEART

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  One of our first science lessons is about the 5 senses; seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling.  I can still remember those early science experiments that asked us how many senses we used with things like cotton balls and lollipops. While it is true that with our eyes we see, with our ears we hear, with our tongues we taste, with our noses we can smell and with our fingers can touch, our heart can do 2 out of 5!  

Today's quote is, "Our eyes are there to help make sense of what is in our line of vision - our heart is there to make sense of what our eyes cannot see."   We don't only think with our minds but with our hearts as well.  That feeling that something is just not right or absolutely spot on comes from our intuition but also the way it feels in our hearts.

The warmth you feel when you walk into a room is not just the décor but the love that is there.  While your eyes may appreciate a beautifully decorated home, your heart will feel if it is filled with love or not.  Trust the feelings in your heart.  Appreciate what you see with your own two eyes and see if it resonates with the eyes inside your chest.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

SING THE SONGS OF YOUR INNER SELF

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  I love listening to music while driving to work and singing along with the songs I know.  If I'm off key no one will know.  My voice is decent, (at least I think it is) and I can harmonize quite easily with everyone from Marcus Mumford to Lana Del Rey.  

There is something called internal harmony.  When you align with the feelings deep inside you and do what makes you happy, that's harmony.  When you are doing what you feel you are meant to, that's harmony.   Listening to negative voices in our heads is the static.

Today's quote is, "Harmonize with your inner being - the joy in your soul that may have been buried by fear and distrust which are simply an illusion of the mind."   Long ago we may have been told that our dreams are unreachable.  Out of fear of failure and not trusting our own intuition we settled convincing ourselves that our dreams were just that....dreams.

One of the hardest and most difficult things to do is to stick with our own beliefs and not be influenced by voices of the past.  Fear is a hard one to let go of but think of all there is to gain once that fear is gone!  Trust yourself.  Listen to your inner voice, the only one that really and truly matters!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

PLEASE NO ONE BUT YOURSELF

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  Have you been the receiver of unwanted advice?  Of course you have.  We all have.  The only time advice should be given is when it is asked.  There is always the potential to receive really bad and even potentially harmful advice.

You see not everyone has your best interest at heart.  There are those so called friends who delight in watching you fall with no intention of helping you up yet somehow we acquaint longevity of friendship with love and care and feel we need to adhere to their guidance.

Today's quote is, "I gave up pleasing those who offer ill advice and find happiness in my failure."  I'm writing this in the hopes that you listen to this quote and if I may be so bold, take my advice!  Asking for advice is tricky.  You need to ask yourself if you really want it, need it or will listen to it. 

Here's an idea.  Listen to your intuition.  Your intuition is truly your best friend and the most trustworthy source of support.  Your intuition will always point you in the right direction.  If you must ask advice from a friend make sure that person really and truly is indeed, your friend.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  I love to hike.  There's really good hiking where I live so its great that I never have to travel too far to get in a good dose of nature.  Hiking isn't for everyone. Its exhilarating and tiring, exhausting and rejuvenating but sometimes those mountains seen way too high. The choice is yours, to climb or not to climb.

Today's quote is, "Mountains are there to climb - to admire - to stand in your way - you decide."  You know yourself better than anyone.  Are you up for a challenge?  Are you content where you are? Are you the type to let nothing stand in your way?  I'm no one to judge or criticize as there is no right or wrong but how do you know what's on the other side unless you climb up?  Beauty can be seen from all sides but wouldn't it be fun to see it from another angle? 

We are in charge of our thoughts and actions.  Sometimes we need to be still before we make a move.  Take your time.  There is no rush.  That mountain isn't going anywhere!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

FLYING AND FALLING

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Did you ever watch a baby taking their first steps?  The determination is comparable to nothing.  No matter how many times they fall, immediately they get up and start again.  Throughout our lives we have fallen more times than we can count. As we get older that determination to get up is sometimes not as strong as it once was and so we stay down rather than rise.

Desire must be stronger than complacency and that my friends is how we need to roll!  Today's quote is, "I've soared and failed - I've flown and fallen - I will always get up and continue to rise."   We've all had our setbacks and failures.  We've all experienced disappointment and defeat.  We have a choice.  We can stay on the ground or rise to the top.  Does it take work, determination and desire?  Hell yea!  

We've all been there.  Success is more fun than failure but the only way to get there is to lick your wounds, dust yourself off and continue to rise.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE SONG OF PRAISE - Thursday, 6/3

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  Take a moment and think back on a really difficult time in your life.  Now take a moment to remember the outcome.  Was it a learning experience?  Did you cry your eyes out?  Did you discover your inner Superman?  Trying times take a toll on us but we get through them.  Life is filled with wonder and dread.  It can't always be wonderful and thankfully not always dreadful.  The important thing is that we got through it and here we are.  Have you acknowledged how you persevered during your hardship?

Today's quote is, "Sing the praises of your accomplishments and feats with pride knowing what you overcame was far more difficult."  In times of suffering the pain can be unbearable.  We aren't thinking how strong we are.  We aren't thinking at all.  We are just trying to survive the moment but when pain and suffering end how do you reflect on it?  Do you beat yourself up over what you said or didn't say or what you did or didn't do?

When do you give yourself credit for getting through pain and suffering?  We beat up ourselves up, we put ourselves down, we acknowledge our limitations but not our strengths.  It takes a boat load of strength to get through hard times.  Sing a song of praise and I will be happy to sing it with you!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

BLESSINGS FROM THE UNIVERSE

 Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  Someone has a birthday today.  I know they're out there thinking of ways they will celebrate whether it is birthday number 5, 25, 55 or older.  I love my birthday.  It makes me feel special and honored to have been blessed with the gift of life from my parents and from the Universe who obviously thought I should be here.  

Life is just one of the blessings that have been bestowed upon me but there are so many more such as  water.  That's right.  Water is a blessing.  Having enough to eat is a blessing but so are plates.  Rain is a blessing but so are windows.  Clothing is a blessing as is heat.  I could go on forever.  Its not just the big things that we have been blessed with but the ones we take for granted. 

Today's quote is, "The Universe has blessed me with miracles each and every day."  Don't just read it.  Acknowledge it.  Take a look around you.  Are you sitting on a chair?  Do you have shoes on your feet?  Did you just have breakfast?  Maybe its  payday on Friday.  Each one of these is a blessing.  

We've been told to begin our day with gratitude.  And why not?  Saying thank you is the least we can do for the blessings we have received large and small. I would like to take this moment to acknowledge the Universe for blessing me with my beautiful twins twenty-two years ago today!!! Happy birthday J & J! 

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy
