JUDGE NOT

Good morning, everyone and happy Thursday.  What a judgmental bunch we can be!   We are experts at forming opinions based on nothing except what our minds tell us to, and our minds can tell us some crazy stuff.  The moral of this story is don't believe everything you only think you know!  

Today's quote is, "Before you judge know there is a soul beneath the surface."  Beauty is only skin deep, right?  Yet we constantly make decisions based on looks and not just physical appearance.  We make these judgements based on where a person lives, what their house looks like, where they work....  I could go on and on.  What do all these things have in common?  Superficiality!  That's what.

Just because the sun is shining outside doesn't mean someone isn't living in their own personal storm.  Be gentle with the ones you think who have it all.  What is having it all anyway?  It is a made-up phrase that conjures up false desires.  

We are all here living our lives wanting the same things.  To be happy, to be productive, to be loved and to love.  Remember the last one.  We are here to love!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

YOUR INNER THERAPIST

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  When it comes to the behaviors of others, we all become therapists delving deep into the psyche of people we don't even know.  There usually are reasons why people act the way they do.  Understanding is one thing.  Acceptance is another.

Today's quote is, "Analysis of bad behavior leads to understanding but there is no need to accept it."  We all have our stuff.  Each and every one of us.  Life can be kind to some and cruel to others.  We hear of someone's misfortune or bad upbringing which can lead to unacceptable behavior, yet we are capable of making excuses for being treated poorly when it is by someone we care about.  

No, no no!  In case you don't know, that's called enabling.  Once you enable bad behavior and unacceptable treatment, don't expect it to stop.  No matter how much you care for someone whether it is a friend, spouse or parent, continue to support them but never ever accept bad behavior.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy

THE ROAD OF LIFE

Good morning and happy Thursday.  Don't you just love the feeling of driving a car on a newly paved road?!  Sure, beats dodging around potholes.  

Life is like that sometimes.  One minute we are gliding along, and life is perfection! Then in a flash we find ourselves sinking into pit unable to get out or know what to do.  It's hard not to get discouraged but know that you won't be stuck for long.

Today's quote is, "We all experience set-backs but don't allow them to set you back."  Is that easier said than done?  Of course it is but when you are faced with a set-back and a disappointment, don't give up and don't give in.  These things are only temporary.  

Maybe the message is let go and rest.  There are times when things are completely out of our control and there is nothing we can do so do just that.  

Of course, we prefer sunshine to rain and calm to a storm but embrace whatever comes your way.  If it weren't for a storm, we might never see a rainbow.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

KNOW FROM WHERE IT COMES

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Ahhh advice!  We love to give it.  We don't always love to get it.  If you want advice, my recommendation is to ask the right person and only you would know who that is.  

Today's quote it, "Damaged people give damaged advice."  When you ask a damaged person for advice, the advice they give will most assuredly reflect their life.  When trauma of any kind is buried or ignored rather than dealt with, damage will remain.

We all know people like that.  That may even be us.  Think about yourself before you confronted your own demons.  Would you want to advise someone pre-therapy or pre-Reiki?  If someone we care about asked us for advice, I would want that advice to be free from the burdens of any emotional baggage and I imagine you would too!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO GET THERE

Good morning.   Happy Thursday everyone.  I was one of the millions of people who jumped for joy when the GPS came into being.   I love listening to that lovely woman telling me to turn left or right and getting me exactly where I need to be.  Previous to that ingenious invention was a map and a compass, neither of which aided me the tiniest little bit. 

In life, even the most sophisticated GPS can't help you.  It is when you need to rely on instinct and feeling.  Today's quote is, "A compass won't help you unless you know how to use it - navigate with your heart - you already know how it works."

We ask ourselves questions all the time.  Many times, we can use google to find answers, other times all we need to do is close our eyes and look within.  Trust yourself.  Trust your inner wisdom and always always rely on your heart for it will guide you in the right direction.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

CHOOSING HAPPINESS

 Good morning and happy Tuesday.  Lately a whole lot of emphasis has been placed on personal happiness.  Ten or twenty years ago no one cared if you were happy or miserable.  Your feelings were yours and usually kept under wraps.  Bad day at work?  Keep it to yourself.  Home life not so great?  That's your business.  It was as though choosing something so luxurious as happiness was a selfish thing to do.

Alas we discovered that when we are happy so are all those near and dear to us!  Today's quote is, "In choosing happiness for yourself those around you will also reap the rewards."  Sounds like a V8 moment.  Something so obviously simple was never regarded until we realized that happiness is necessary for our health and well-being.  

We feel the vibes of those around us and when we sense bad vibes we react accordingly.  Choose yourself.  Allow yourself to be number one because when you do, those vibes reach way beyond you and everyone near you will feel them too!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy
