THE NOVEL WRITTEN BY YOU

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  I love both reading and writing.  Reading is wonderful for so many different reasons.  You can vicariously go on an adventure, learn about the lives of others, drool over just about every cuisine and travel to faraway places.  Reading helps broaden your perspective and enhances your vocabulary thus helping in the writing process.

I bet you didn't realize how many novels you have written.  Today's quote is, "There is a novel in each of us with chapters on love, despair, defeat, success and joy.  Re-read each one and see where you are drawn and what it is you wish to leave behind."  

The pain, sorry and grief  you've lived through is there but so is the love, the joy, successes and strength you've shown to navigate through rough waters.  Each chapter needs to be re-read allowing you to see how far you have come.  Maybe you don't want to leave any chapters behind.  After all, each one made you who you are today.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

THE VOICE WITHIN

Good morning everyone.  Happy Thursday.  There are times in life when we have big decisions to make and because we are unsure or feel we need some help, we put our trust in those we know and love to decide for us as if they have all the answers but you know what?  Even the people we know and love so much don't always know what is best for us.

As a child I was spoken to more than listened to.  I learned that what others said was more important that what I said or what I thought and therefore it was difficult for me to make decisions.  Thankfully I've come very far since childhood.

Today's quote is, "You can hear advice but listen to your intuition."  You know yourself better than anyone so if you really look deep inside yourself you will find the answers to all your questions. 

Ask for advice and hear it all but when the sun sets, listen to the voice that only you can hear otherwise known as your own intuition.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

WELCOME

 Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  What are your plans for the day?  Anything exciting or just the ordinary.  What about your life plans?  Have you given that a thought or are they just happening as you go on living?  You don't always need a plan.  Sometimes its nice to let things happen and evolve as they should.

News flash.  This isn't our first rodeo.  We've ridden that horse before.  The difference is we are here to perfect that ride!  Today's quote is, "You are the being the Universe was waiting for - watching - wondering when you would arrive to finish what you started when last you left."

If you are reading this I know we are of the same mind set.  We have all been here before and we have so much work to do that our souls just had to return.  That person that rubs you the wrong way?  They're back too and chances are you'll run into them again.  That person that feels like you've known forever?  You have!  They're back as well.

That unresolved situation?  You will live it once again until finally it is resolved.  The Universe is there to help and will step in just when you need it but is also curious as to how you will handle things this time around.  To quote the lyrics from The Lost Horizon, "The World is a Circle that Never Begins, Nobody Knows Where It Really Ends!"

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

SWEETNESS - NOT BITTERNESS

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  Life is amazing and wonderful but life can also throw us some major curveballs.  One minute its smooth sailing and the next you capsize.  Sometimes you're on a roll where everything is great and other times absolutely nothing is going in your favor.  Giving up isn't an option but your attitude is.

Today's quote is, "To get lost in the arms of bitterness is to disallow the loving embrace of sweetness."  The hill made of resentment and anger leading to bitterness is hard to get down from.  It is a sticky web one must try and pull away from.  

There is no denying that some of us have had life experiences that leave us scratching our heads wondering what we did to deserve this pain and sorrow but if we let ourselves get swallowed up in bitterness we close the door to laughter, joy, hope and love.

Leave bitterness behind and make room for the sweetness to come back into your life.  The sweetness that you deserve.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

WE ARE A MIRROR

 Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  It would be wonderful to walk around happy and cheerful all the time but we don't.  We are thinkers and obsessors. We are ten steps ahead of ourselves at all times, planning and worrying.  Even when we run into a friend the thought pattern remains the same as we exchange pleasantries and commiserate together on our stressful lives.

What if you stopped obsessing.  What if  you stopped planning and worrying and were in the moment.  The very moment of now.  There is no doubt in my mind that you would not only feel better but attract smiles in your direction rather than grievances.

Today's quote is, "Our internal world is mirrored all around us."  When we feel insecure, defeated and inadequate we don't need to wear a t-shirt to let anyone know.  We wear those feelings in our movements, actions and expressions and when that is what we wear, that is what we attract.  

Will there be days when we feel utterly hopeless and miserable?  Where you feel angry and annoyed?  Of course there will but before you give in to those feelings take a breath.  Write down your upset and then write down your blessings.  Let them be a reminder of all that is good in your life and walk out that door with confidence clarity and hope.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

OPEN YOUR HEART - Thursday, 9/30

 Good morning and happy Thursday.  Languid and lovely is how love should be.  Countless songs have been written about love.  From Love is a many Splendid Thing to Love Shack.  Who doesn't want to be loved?  The problem comes when we have been hurt because we loved too deeply and too passionately.  When we experience that kind of hurt we never want to feel that way again and so we close ourselves off to love afraid of reliving that very same pain.

WHAT?  NEVER LOVE AGAIN?  If you fall down do you not get up?  If you burn the roof of your mouth on a slice do you never eat pizza again?  Today's quote is, "Leave room for love behind the shield you hold so closely near your heart."  No one enjoys getting hurt.  No one wants to feel the pain of a broken heart.  

I was 15 when my heart was broken for the first time.  Was it awful, painful and miserable?  Of course it was but can you imagine a 15 year old closing themselves off to love forever?  To think that you will never find love or be loved is to think the sun will never shine again.  While there may be rainy days ahead, the clouds will part and the sun will come out again.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

HOLD YOUR POWER

 Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  Is there such a thing as trusting too much?  I think it depends on who you are referring to.   There are people in my life I can definitely depend upon.  People who have my back and ones that I am free to express who I really am when I am in their company.  

We all want people like that in our lives but sometimes trust is broken.  One of my favorite quotes from Benjamin Franklin is, "Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead."  Telling a friend a deep dark secret is not always such a great idea.  Sometimes a secret is just too juicy not to share even if you have been told not to utter a word to another soul.

Few people have that capability.  Few people can really honor what is asked of them.  When the cat is let out of the bag you are left feeling utterly exposed.  Today's quote is, "Is it betrayal or have you trusted too deeply."  I am not saying to be leery of everyone you meet but unless you feel that immediate soul connection it is ok to be a little guarded.

I have a card that I purchased many years ago that says, "If you want to find a girl's faults, praise her to her friends."   Beware of the green eyed monster that lives within you.   Treasure your friendships.  Treasure your soulmates.  Be happy for them as you would for yourself.  Trust deeply but with the right people.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy
