Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
You got up on this cold winter morning and started your day. Whether you drove to work, got the kids off to school, fed the pets, started some laundry, checked your email, went to the gym, made up your to do list, you were in action mode.
Every day is made up of small successes so make sure you acknowledge each and every one. Every action step-no matter how small or seemingly insigificant takes you into the Success arena.
And that makes you a Success already today!
Affirm:
I am a Success just for showing up for life today!
Have a Success focused Tuesday!

Let the Universe Know you're ready.
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
The Creator, the Source of All, wants the absolute best of everything for each of us. If we do not have the best of everything in all areas of our lives our ego (Edging Good Out) tells us it must be because we do not deserve it or are not worthy. And many times we buy it because our history-our story seems to support that.
What if we considered for just a moment that perhaps what is really happening is that the Universe has been trying to send us the best of everything all along and we have been blocking it from coming into our lives because the story we tell ourselves is that we are not worthy.
Become like the scientist- conduct your own experiment. Write a new story for yourself.
Your new story is that you are wonderful, worthy and deserving of all the best that the Universe has to offer. Further, that you are OPEN and WILLING to RECEIVE all the best that is already on it's way to you.
Whenever the ego tries to tell you the old story emphatically proclaim your new storyline:
"I am Worthy and Deserving of the best of everything!"
The only way to rewrite your old history is to create and live today a bold new story that in a week from now, month from now, a year from now will become a positve history to reflect on. The ego won't like it - but I guarantee you will love it!
Affirm:
I Allow myself to Receive the best of everything!
Have a New Story Monday!

A to Z I am Free to Succeed!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Many times when we make our New Years Resolutions we do them on automatic pilot. Just stating the desired, wished for result and thinking hopeful thoughts like "I really hope I can do it this time, this year ...."

Do we stop to consider all the talents, skills and abilities that we already possess to assist us in achieving our resolutions? I think not. So today let's go through the alphabet and list A to Z what you are capable of doing to be Free to Succeed! (And then you can use some or all of these as your daily affirmations to cheer yourself on in your goals)

STOP! and Breathe in Serenity
Whenever life throws me a curve ball or gets too overwhelming, all I need to remember is that I can STOP! take a deep breath and center myself in the fact that my serenity is always mine unless I choose to give it away.
Then I can simply choose to reclaim it and let the peace I feel anchor me until life stabilizes again -as it always does.
This was the positive thought today and how appropriate! Life did indeed throw me a couple of wicked curve balls today and really the past couple of days and I have been plodding through. However reading my daily thought reminded me to take my own advice. (you know how sometimes you catch yourself and realize that you might just as well say "Here take my advice: I'm not using it!")
Well I practiced what I preached and did STOP!, take a deep breath and say to myself "I Choose to reclaim my serenity now!" And then I went into the kitchen where I have a magnet that has this quote on it "Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace within it"(by Anonymous) and read it several times, took another deep breath and went back to my studio.
Sometimes the Universe makes it crystal clear to me that I am powerless over everything except my thoughts about what is happening. At those times I do have the power to adjust my thinking, accept reality for what it is and just breathe my way back to inner calm. Once there I can focus my thinking on a possible solution instead of the discomfort of the problem.
And quite often, as was today, the solution is to accept that I do not have the answer, I do not have the power to change what reality is and therefore the best course of action is to maintain inner calm while reminding myself that the situation is a "God job" and that the Universe is already in motion with the Divine plan.
The fact that I am not privy to all the details is as it should be. I have more than enough to keep me busy adjusting my own thoughts on how I think Life should be working - for Everyone.
So I am STOPPING! and breathing in peace and serenity- for me.

Word Art
Was just doodling the other day and my grandson asked me if I would do his name for him, then of course the other two wanted the same. So I doodled their names in the colors they wanted and decided to use them as templates for a room door plate for each of them. I used art markers and Sharpie permanent markers on small watercolor art paper. Now I am going to talk to my hubby about cutting some wood decoratively and then cutting out the names on the paper to paste on and redoing the scroll work and hearts in paint on the wood plates. Since they have bunk beds in their rooms, name plates will be a great way to identify their space for each of them. AND since I have a total of seven grandchildren I am already working on the rest of their names-don't want to leave anyone out! I will post them as I do them as well as post the door plates when they are done.
Well I am having the darndest time trying to get all three photos on this post so I am going to leave the two on and post the others later. And apparently the two photos even though I see them on my draft as across from each other-show up on the preview as on top and below each other! Well enough time trying to figure it out- I will go with the flow- More later!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
There is a tendency to avoid pain at all costs, deflect it, distract from it, suppress it, medicate it so we don't have to FEEL it.
However, pain is a sign to us that there is an imbalance calling for our attention, for us to learn from. Pain is a signal that our body, our mind, our spirit are not aligned and is actively working on some kind of healing.
When we can focus on the pain to ask "What are you trying to teach me and how may I assist in my own healing?" we make new awarenesses, the biggest of which is Postponing Feeling is Postponing Healing.
Affirm:
Whatever I can Feel, I can allow to Heal.
