Welcome to my blog! My name is Mary Ellen Pierce and I want to invite you to Get Jazzed & Joyful about who you are, every day in every way! I believe that no matter what you do in life, it is important to believe in yourself and your goals and to realize it's okay to enjoy the journey and have fun along the way!
Along my journey I have discovered my inner artist to help me create expressions of myself using collage, altered art, mixed media and scrapbook techniques. I have enlisted the aid of my inner cheerleader to keep me motivated to be the Best ME that I can be!
And I want to inspire others to realize that when you get Jazzed and Joyful about being You, then what you do will turn into success, prosperity and happiness!
Believe in Yourself, Anything is Possible!

Let's follow Art's example!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

"Things turn out best for the people that make the best out of the way things turn out."

I first heard this quote from Art Linkletter and it has stuck with me for years.

And Art Linkletter should know. He was abandoned as an infant and later adopted. He literally took the phrase "when life hands you lemons make lemonade" to heart. As a young boy he used to take the best of the discarded lemons from a fruit factory and sell them to help raise money for his adopted family.

He was two months shy of his 98th birthday when he passed away this past May, of simply old age. He had been married for 75 years, wrote several books and he still traveled all over the world as a motivational speaker and advocate for living your best life after 60 and ran 4 businesses!

When a reporter asked how he did it he responded:
"Do the best you can every day. Help someone else whenever you can. Communicate the truth from a grateful heart and always keep a sense of humor. And exercise your mind, spirit and body on a regular basis."

So today let's follow Art's advice and his life example!

Affirm:
    I keep the clear intention of being the Best Me today and I use Grateful thinking, a Helpful Heart and a Sense of Humor to communicate my Best to all I encounter!

Have your Best Tuesday yet!
