Good morning everyone. Have you made it outside yet? Have you greeted anyone or been greeted by anyone? If so I hope you gave a smile and received one as well. Who doesn't prefer that kind of greeting? A smile can brighten anyone's day because we never really know what anyone is thinking.
Today's quote, "Behind a façade can be happiness and joy but also pain and suffering - let kindness overrule judgement." The basis of this quote is that we should all be kind to one another for we never really know what's going on in someone's life. There will always be those who assume they do based purely on what they see and how it looks from the outside.
The so called perfect person with the so called perfect life. Who is that person and do they really exist? Somehow we think they do because of what they are wearing or what they are driving or where they live. All that is purely superficial. Has that person just endured an incredible loss?
Unless we ask with real sincerity how do we know? How can we judge what is behind a smile or a scowl. Many of us out there carry heavy burdens from our past and try to hide it while others simply can't. How hard is it to be kind, to smile and give an expression of encouragement?
Even if you are not in a great mood yourself, you will change it once you smile at someone else. Amazing how joy can be shared with a simple act of kindness!

THE UNIVERSE HEARS EVERY WHISPER
Good morning all! A beautiful, clear and sunny Tuesday ahead for us today. Its nice when the weather is perfect for a summer day. No clouds, just sun.
Do you ever have those wishy washy days when you have plans in your mind but when the day comes you don't really feel like going through with them? We're motivated to do something and then we change our minds. Clarity is important especially when it comes to our lives.
Today's quote is, "Be clear in what you want - even if you don't say it aloud the Universe will hear you." That is so true. Have you ever wanted something in your life and I mean REALLY wanted something to happen in your life? Or so you thought and when it doesn't work out you are thankful. I know that has happened to me.
Every month there is a new moon and every month is a time for us to write down our New Moon wishes. These aren't just wishes but what we want to manifest in our lives. If we are not completely clear nothing will manifest. The Universe knows when you are wishy washy in your thoughts and your life's so called desires.
Often times we think we aren't being heard and that we are not receiving what it is we long for. It isn't that at all but the fact that the Universe knows we are not quite ready. Timing has a lot to do with when and how we receive our heart's desire.
It may take more time to know exactly what kind of anything you want. Take all the time you need. The Universe will hear every decibel of your longing all you have to do is be abundantly clear and trust that what you wish to manifest will happen when the time is right!

FORGET ABOUT BEFORE - NOW IS WHAT MATTERS
Good morning everyone! I have a rhetorical question for you. Do you have any regrets? Do you wish there was a time in your life when you did something differently? We all do. Why? Because we are human. Because we've all had those confrontational and non confrontational conversations where immediately afterwards we wished we said something other than what we did.
We can make an endless list of regrets if we wanted to but what would be the point? Today's quote is, "Before doesn't matter - now does." True that! Before doesn't matter. It lead us to where we are and where we are is where we need to be. What kind of life would it be if we only lived in regret?
Whatever happened, happened. Whatever is done, is done. Don't get stuck. Move on. So many of us get stuck in the past preventing us from living the way we really want to. Treat everyday as a new beginning and a chance to start over.
Are there things in my past I regret? Of course there are but I'm not going to let it stop me from my future. What matters is now. What matters is the present moment. We all need to get out of the mindset of "if only I didn't..." Again, drop that thought because whatever it was you wished you didn't do, you clearly did.
Hold onto the good stuff but remember the bad so you don't repeat it but regrets? Leave those far away and out of sight. Now is the only thing that matters!

DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
Good morning. Another week done and another weekend coming up. I'm looking forward to kayaking tomorrow with my whole family. I will cross my fingers that that the weather will hold up. At this point I'm so used to clouds it seems like the new normal for summer weather.
If you've never gone kayaking you really should. It is like meditating on water. Peaceful, relaxing yet rejuvenating all at the same time. What is it that you love doing? Sometimes we start out doing something we enjoy and then over time our feelings have changed and our passion has died down.
Today's quote, "When doing what you love becomes stressful maybe what you are doing is not really what you love." If we have chosen a profession that once brought us joy and happiness and continues to do so we are very lucky but when that joy and happiness turns to stress and anxiety it is time to rethink those choices.
We are ever evolving changing beings. That's why so many people switch not only careers but entire lives. What was once fun and exciting can turn out to be very different from when we started through no fault of our own.
Why would anyone stay in a situation like that unless absolutely necessary? If you must remain where you are in your work life then find something you love that brings you happiness and relives that stress. In a perfect fantastical world we could leave those jobs we hate but in the one we live in we still must pay our bills and put food on our tables.
Never lose sight of your passion. Think long and hard about the choices you make but don't beat yourself up over them. This is just a phase and we are all far from done!

LET YOUR INTUITION BE YOUR GUIDE
Good morning. I love early mornings. I love the quiet before the hustle and bustle of the day ahead. We don't take time often enough to simply sit in silence. It is that silence that allows us to release confusion and find clarity of mind.
It is important to use that time to find needed answers to our own questions. Today's quote is a reminder. "What should you do - sit in silence and listen for the voice of your intuition - allow it to guide you in the right direction." We love asking for advice yet at the same time we hate receiving it unless it is what we want to hear.
Why then do we continue? I know it's not because we like to punish ourselves so I will go with habit as the reason. We've done it before so we'll do it again. The worst part is that you probably ask the advice of the same person you hate getting it from! That too is habit.
Let me give you some advice right now! Stop asking anyone to advise you when you already know the answer and you do. I promise! We all talk to ourselves whether our loud or in our heads. That's how we work things out. If we talk to ourselves about what to make for dinner then certainly that conversation can turn to solving your own problems or which next step to take.
We are full of questions but we are also full of answers. Don't belittle the knowledge you already possess especially about yourself. Silently and quietly that knowledge will show you the way!

LOOK HARD ENOUGH AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF
Good morning. Do you lose things? I do and wow is it irritating. I try very hard to leave my glasses in the same spot but it doesn't always happen. One minute they are in my hand and the next they're gone! I am always relieved when I find them after saying "where could they have gone" about 100 times. Doesn't matter. What matters is that at last they are back in their special spot.
Today's quote is "When you find yourself there is no better feeling." You might think that a person is much harder to lose than a pair of glasses or your car keys but that's not so. We've all been there. We've all had that feeling of just being, well, lost! We wake up everyday and begin our usual routine. We go to work, come home and fall back into that same routine but many times we are just going through motions as routine as our day.
We are doing what we are supposed to because it is what we have to but what we are missing is passion. Just because we are functioning it doesn't mean we are happy. Being in a routine just means that you have been programed to keep going but it also means that you could actually be lost. You have not found your passion.
Many times it is fear that prevents us from finding our passion and even allowing us to think we deserve to. We all deserve to! We all deserve happiness and if finding your passion will make you happy then get yourself out of your routine and start looking! Eventually you will find your true self.
Look for the things that bring you joy and don't stop until they are found. Until then you will be lost, meandering through life as if in the aisles of a supermarket. There really is no better feeling than the one that let's you know you finally made it!

LET THE LIGHT LEAD YOU BACK
Good morning Tuesday and to all of you. Just another summer day! The weather has been so strange with all this rain but you can still find fun things to do. I know of an ice cream shop that is supposed to be excellent. What a great thing to do on a hot summer day. Not my usual but different is always fun and in this case delicious.
Today's quote, "It's OK to wander off course - the light will lead you back." Let's use my ice-cream store as an example. Everyone these days seems to be drinking protein shakes and taking obsessive trips to the gym. What happens if one day you trade your protein shake for a strawberry cone and your killer workout for your favorite show on Netflix? Nothing. Nothing will happen because the very next day you will be back to your usual routine.
It is that way every single day as we are constantly distracted. We could be right in the middle of something and then the phone rings, the dog barks, the pasta boils over but when we are done with our call, calming down the dog and turning off the flame, we go right back to what we were doing.
Isn't life the same way? We think we are on a certain path and for some reason we are taken off course. The most important thing to know is that it is not just OK, but it will also be OK. Get lost. Wander away. It may take time but eventually you will find your way back not only to where you want to be but exactly where you are meant to be.
Take that wrong turn and wander where you never wandered before. Life is an awesome adventure so don't just watch it happen, be a full participant!
