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!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Tuesday!

Today is Valentines Day. Today children will be going to school clutching their bag full of valentines to give to their classmates and their teachers. They will be eagerly awaiting all the valentines that will be given to them. When they go home they will be excited to show all their valentines to mom and dad.
In the child's view they are excited about love itself! They are excited and eager to show love simply, innocently, fully and completely just for the sake of love itself.
Today let's take our cue from children. Today let's demonstrate true love to everyone we encounter. True love is about unconditional acceptance - so let there be no judgment of self or others today.
True love is a smile and warm glow that won't go away - so share your smile and warm the soul of everyone you meet today.
True love offers compassion and melts the frigid exterior of the most hardened hearts - so offer kindness today to someone who would least expect it.
True love emanates from within so fill your own heart with love of self and let it overflow and spill out to the world.
Put no one outside your heart today. See how wonderful your day unfolds when love is the driving force. It will feel so good you may just want to do it all week!

Affirm:
Today I allow love to color my world.

Have a love filled week!

Optimism or Pessimism you can Lead the way!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

I saw a wonderful commercial again today that is the perfect example for Optimism and I am so glad that it is geared towards young people because I have tweens and teen grandchildren that need to see more examples of what optimism and a positive attitude can do.

A 12 year old boy goes to a ball field to practice his batting. Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter ever!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike one"
Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter ever!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike two"
Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter in the world!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike three"
He looks very disappointed and then suddenly he gets a huge smile on his face and says "WOW! I am the best Pitcher in the world!"

So today remember that your consistent Optimism or Pessimism is setting an example for the next generation to follow.

Affirm:
     Today I set the example for "I am the most Positive Person ever!"

Have an Optimistic Monday!

Set an Example of Optimism

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

I saw a wonderful commercial again today that is the perfect example for Optimism and I am so glad that it is geared towards young children because I have a 13 year old grandson that needs to see more examples of what optimism and a positive attitude can do.

A 12 year old boy goes to a ball field to practice his batting. Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter ever!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike one"
Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter ever!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike two"
Before he tosses the ball in the air he says "I am the best hitter in the world!" and he swings and misses and says "Strike three"
He looks very disappointed and then suddenly he gets a huge smile on his face and says "WOW! I am the best Pitcher in the world!"
