A PURPOSE FOR EVERYTHING

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Making a bed can seem like the most meaningless of chores. It's only going to be unmade several hours later but we make our beds because the room looks so much better.  Our days can be filled with seemingly meaningless activities, yet they hold their own importance.

Today's quote is, "Walk with purpose for purpose exists in everything."  We don't do anything without giving it just the tiniest bit of thought whether we are preparing dinner, doing laundry or answering an email.  Nothing is a waste of time even though you might think it is.

There is a purpose to all we do.  We prepare meals to feed and nourish our families and ourselves.  We do laundry so we don't face the world with ketchup stains.   Don't neglect those emails!  There is someone on the other end waiting patiently for your reply.

Purpose lies in everything you do so whatever it is, take pride and do it well.  

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

SONGS THAT SPEAK TO YOU

Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  Our past is made up of more than the memories we hold in our minds but the memories in our senses as well.  There are scents so familiar they allow us to travel back in time.  Music has the same power over us.  Just a few notes can bring us back to a place we never wanted to leave or one we couldn't get out of fast enough.

Today's quote is, "Songs that speak to your soul bring tears laughter and comfort."  We prefer to remember the good times rather than the bad but it is all part of our life's journey.  A song can take us back to our first broken heart and our first true love.

When songs speak to your soul let them bring what they will whether it is laughter, tears or comfort.  If your soul is angry (just for the moment) choose one that will calm you down.  As they say, "music hath   charms to soothe the savage beast."

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

GETTING WHAT YOU NEED

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday.  How many times do we wish, hope and pray for all the things we think will make us happy while getting completely bent out of shape when things don't work out the way we wanted them to.  Perhaps a blessing in disguise!

Today's quote is, "When I asked the Universe to give me everything I wanted she gave me everything I needed."  We know what we want...or so we think.  There are those times when we are so definitive in our desires and then something happens.  What we were sure we wanted doesn't work out.  What we were desperate to have we didn't get.  

This is where trust comes in.  You trust your parents right?  Think of the Universe as another parent who is looking out for your best interests.  Think of the Universe watching over you and understanding that the person you think is Mr. Right is really Mr. Right now.  The Universe actually cringes at some of the decisions you made based on your immediate wants and desires.  

Ask and you shall receive.  Know that what you receive will be exactly what you need!    

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

KEEP IT REAL

Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  How great does it feel when you've parachuted into your dream job?  How wonderful is it to meet your soul mate?  On the flip side, how awful does it feel to be stuck, day after day in a miserable job only to come home to an equally miserable partner.  Which one is the life you were meant to live?

Today's quote is, "Fulfillment will never come from living an inauthentic life."  We don't always know what we want but we sure as hell know what we don't.  When we land in places we don't want to be we can't help but feel anxious and uncomfortable.  The reason that happens is because we got off at the wrong stop.  

There will be many stops along the road and when we get to the right one, we just know it.  When we are doing what we love it feels right.  When we are doing what we love we are fulfilled.  When we are doing what we love, we are living our authentic life.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE RESPONSIBILITY IS ON YOU

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuessday.  Life is fabulous, wonderful, stressful, joyful, amazing, hard and scary.  If I left out a favorite adjective of yours, please feel free to fill it in.  Life goes on sometimes smoothly and sometimes like a rocky road.  There are times we have nothing to do with the events or situations we find ourselves in but there are also times where the outcome is a direct correlation of our actions.

Today's quote is, "In your life you've orchestrated successes and messes - acknowledge your part in both."  I officially retired from my day- job and I couldn't be happier, however; something happened months ago that really started me on this journey and let me tell you, it was a mess.  A big one.

We actively participate in our lives every day.  Should I have another cup of coffee this morning?  Should I pee AGAIN before I get in the car?  Should I take the shorter way to work?   Nothing life changing here but the ones that are indeed life changing are on us as well.  I had made a decision that radically changed my work environment and not for the better.  

I made a huge mess and I own it completely but the mess I made opened doors that would have remained shut had I stayed.  We are the conductor of our lives making sweet, beautiful music and hitting some rough notes as well.  In the end we are responsible for our choices and the kind of music we create!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE SUM OF ALL PARTS

Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  Our blue eyes and brown eyes come from our parents.  So do our dimples, short stature and ability to tan or burn.  Passed down through generations are the things we cannot see.  Our abilities, fragilities and tenacity.  Every soul inhabits much more than the genes of our parents.

Today's quote is, "We are the sum of DNA from our parents our grandparents and all the souls of our ancestors."  You may not have met your great great great great great grandmother, but her influence remains.  Generation after generation passes on not just our physical attributes but those that are blind to the eye.  

While the struggle that many of them went through has thankfully been left behind what they have given us is an appreciation for the hardships and joys that befell them.  Your legacy will be more than what you leave your children as their mother and father but the entourage of all of your ancestors way before your time.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT EQUAL WISDOM

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  I used to love to read.  I went through an intense reading period taking frequent trips to the library (remember those?) to check out books on a variety of topics.  Life got busy, (you know how that goes) and the internet allowed you to research and read just about anything you could think of not making curbing my desire to return to the library.  

I read for two main reasons.  To be entertained and to learn.  While reading certainly enhances one's knowledge it does not give you wisdom.  Wisdom is an entirely different thing.

Today's quote is, "Having knowledge does not mean you have wisdom - one is gained from books while the other is gained through life and time and experience."  It's interesting to me how people of a certain age are no longer valued in the workplace and in our society in general when these are the people who have both knowledge and wisdom. 

Understand the difference between the two.  Having knowledge on a multitude of topics is easily gained and a wonderful addition to your existing repertoire.  Having wisdom takes time and years to acquire and cannot be found in any library.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy
