How Are You Acting Today?

"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others." Plato

When people are nice to us we usually respond back in the same manner. Not always! I often notice my surroundings and have seen more "Empty Behavior" as I shall call it, when people are communicating in every single way.

On example is :

Sitting behind a car in a fast food drive-thru and waiting my turn. I listen to the car ahead of me.

The employee takes the order and I pull ahead to the next window. Where was the please and thank you? Why did it seem like it was a factory window and I was going to see the robot from Lost In Space there? Ok, showing age....moving on...

It seemed so robotic in nature, that I wondered where the people have went? Have we left our bodies while working and we are just physically present? Do we even car about the other person we are interacting with? 

Don't get me wrong here. I understand people have bad days and we do have a lot on our minds each day. Blah, blah, blah,... 

We have got to be more kind to one another.

We have got to remember that everyone is someone's child that God is letting us interact with for a reason.

What reason could you possibly have for not trying to be just a little more aware of good old fashioned kindness for just being present?

Have a wonderful start to a week of trying to be more aware of good old fashioned manners. Besides, when you smile we all see a window of hope for survival of Good! 

Clean Your Brain While You Exercise It

To strengthen your inner well being, you have to exercise your brain.  I know... exercise is not at the top of everyone's list on a daily basis. 

Everyone is getting much better at it though! 

So just give it a whirl~

Make a block of just 5 minutes today and tell yourself the good things about how you live your life. You will find things that have been dormant for quite some time...

Wonderful things about you have been sitting in your brains attic and it is not so clean in there! The dust need cleared and it is time recognize the qualities that make your spirit show who you are! 

Everything should not be tucked away and forgotten. Your life is part of who you are and the lessons and recognition should start within yourself. 

Clean out the old dusty stuff that does not even deserve the space any longer! Let the good things start flowing to the center of your mind and watch how fast it flows in...

You are responsible for showing your spectacular art to the universe! 

Remember your spirit and display your art to us! We love your creative energy, so let it out of the attic!

5min, that's all, I triple dog dare ya!

 

All Pictures Move

"Look through your eyes today as though everything is a picture. You will see the art in the photographs moving before you". Val~

Are we really looking at things we see before us or is it the same as saying, "I hear you" when we are not truly listening? Easier said than done in today's fast moving world. We can get scared when we stop and think of how quickly things are moving and changing.

One thing we can never forget is that we are valuable!

We have a reason for being here and it's not all about us! If we believe in something more powerful than ourselves, then we need to "Pay Attention Out There"!

Life has such a grand scale of unequivacal artwork that was created by something. We can argue about what, but the facts remain it was not us...

We are all important and need to appreciate everything that is out there.It could be taken away in a millisecond! 

Use your seconds wisely. You don't hold the timer to the clock...

A Universe Above The Coulds. 

This is as high as I go but I can only imagine what else is out there...

WhatAre You Going To Do With It?

This bright, new day... complete with 24 hours of opportunities, choices, and attitudes… a perfectly matched set of 1440 minutes.This unique gift, this one day, cannot be exchanged, replaced or refunded. Handle with care. Make the most of it. There is only one to a customer.

Author Unknown

There is no arguing over fact! 

We are all guilty of procrastinating. 

Let us all take a moment to think of ways to embrace the gift of a DAY!

Enjoy yours, remember the days are just as important as you are! After all, we are all connected through the earth and universe. The time here was created just for us so get busy!

I Triple Dog Dare Ya!...

Stop Wasting The Gifts Of Life! 

Smile walking out the door and watch the day be wonderful...

The Screech In Your Violin Can Be Annoying!

 “Don’t find fault, find a remedy.” -- Henry Ford   

Stop complaining and do something about it! 

So many times we complain about what is happening or what has went on. The list is endless of our moans and groans about things not being good or perfect. It is time we stop making white noise and refocus on making enjoyable blends of the sounds in life.

Things are going to happen. It is just part of a process. Take note on how many times we whine or get frustrated over things that are not earth shattering. 

Make your first response to things all about the approach! 

Have a great week and approach it with an attitude of a carpenter.

You Can Fix Things! 

Choices....

Animal Art

All of the animals except for man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it. -- Samuel Butler


As I sat down to post on another topic, my cat climbed onto my lap. Her name is Splash. In the beginning we thought she was a he! Splashes as we adoringly call her or my preference is "the baby", is all white with a splash of black on her head. One could imagine a kitten in paint. : )

All of the sudden as I start my work it has became obvious that she is sound asleep in my lap. What do I do now? She is quite adorable curled in a half circle with her paws over one eye. I find it interesting that she is in such a deep sleep so quickly. I hate to move her but this could be very uncomfortable trying to work like this. Then it dawned on me that I was getting one of the best gifts right in my lap!

A Masterpiece of Animal Art. The closer I looked and the more I took it in, the more exquisite the whole moment was. This was my cat from day after day behavior and I was taking a closer look to her soul through her art.

Be it God, the Universe or whatever your spiritual belief is, something more powerful than ourselves is an amazing artist...

Look closer at things today for their artwork in the world. I. May ask questions later!

Audio coming soon...

Have a great start to a new week!

Bricks And Stones May Break Your Bones....

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. -- David Brinkley

This quote helps us to remember that we can take something from destruction and flip it to move forward. No matter how many bricks may come your way, just keep building!

The smartest carpenter would not waste the material that could strengthen the foundation...

Have a day filled with beauty and design through the eyes of your buildings...

Are You On The Back Of A Shell?

“Behold the turtle. He only makes progress when he sticks his neck out.” -- James Bryant Conant


Are you able to move? Can you go forward at all? If not, you must be stuck on the back of your shell! You know...upside down on your back.

It can be really hard to feel as though there is no way to go but around in circles or stationary. There is always something that can be done!

You have to believe that there is "No Way" that you are going to allow this to be all there is! You may have to work harder at it than anything before. However, it is possible!

If you can not seem to get off the back of your shell then it could be time to change your approach in doing so. " If you are having trouble reaching your goal, you may want to change your approach." You know yourself better than anyone.

Be honest with yourself in some quiet time. Reflect and contemplate the future. The sweet thing is that when you meditate it starts to come easier. You have answers within yourself. You just have to hear them.

Your shell has a beauty of artwork that the world to see and appreciate. You can get to the same finish line if you just don't stop...

Have a great week!

Grabbing At Your Collar

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told, ‘I am with you, kid. Let’s go.’” – author Maya Angelou


Do you feel it? Do you feel the tugging around your collar? It is not just stress. It is also life bursting at the seams to get moving! The spirit inside your soul is wanting to paint with you. It wants to take advantage of everything out there that was not available to our ancestors.

How do you think the souls of all ancestors are reacting to being so complacent in the world? Think about the gift of breath and energy you can even send or receive today! The world is full of great things that outnumber the bad. You just need to be responsible for your own light!

We are a cluster of light that outshines any darkness that the world has to deal with! As a whole we can minimize the shadows and shine more often than not. It is all about choices...

Is that a tug at your lapel?
What are you going to do about it?


Choose light! It's good energy for the soul ~

Plant Your Bulb

All it takes is one bloom of hope to make a spiritual garden. -- Terri Guillemets

Spring is the time of year when many see growth from the universe. It comes in so many luscious forms! What ever the hopes and dreams you carry inside, nurture them. Care well for them. Love and honor the desire it brings you. You will notice a new side of life when you follow own self.

Let yourself have a place in line of need and grow inside and out.

Now start working on your own garden and be ready for the magnificent process that will unfold before you. The end of it is endlessly beautiful and the growing in life is the blooming that amazes us all.

I wanna see bulbs everywhere!

Bloom out, Girl Scout~ :)

(Thank you for being patient on my blog and tweets, due to the death of my father.) I'm back!
