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!

Gearing up for the New Year

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today is the tween day. It is after some holidays and just before another big one- New Years. It is also after all the hustle and bustle, high frenetic energy, the fast pace of all our recent activities, the peaks and valleys of interactivity with family and friends-

NOW, take a deep breath in - and let it out- do it again - releasing all the stress and emotional back up. Now breathe in peace, serenity, love and joy.
As we gear up for New Years, let's remember to take a little break in between, to break the momentum of stress and high tension and emotionality. Remember to give yourself the gift of a mini retreat simply by just sitting right where you are now and breathing IN - peace, serenity, love and joy - and breathing OUT all stress, fear and negativity.

However you travel these holiday times whether by car, plane, train or BRAIN -Remember - Enjoy the trip!

Affirm:
   Today I generate positive energy for a peaceful and pleasant up coming New Year!

Have a peace and joy Mindset Friday!

Counting your Blessings

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There are many holidays celebrated in December around the world and right here in this country; St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Boxing Day are just a few.

So the holiday season is in full swing. Our to do lists are full of things like gift shopping, going to the grocery store, making travel arrangements, decorating homes and businesses, baking and cooking, scheduling holiday and office parties to celebrate.
How much time will be spent on Thankfulness, Gratitude and Counting Blessings? When was the last time that you told a friend, co-worker or family member that you are Thankful for them? When was the last time you actually wrote down a Gratitude list for this time of the year? When was the last time that you asked others to share one of their Blessings with everyone?

What would your Holiday season be like if the Focus was on Gratitude, Thankfulness and Blessings instead of worrying If there is enough time to get everything done? Or if you have enough room for the family and friends at the holiday feast?
What if you just relaxed, slowed down a little and enjoyed the Holiday season for what it is supposed to be about- thankfulness and sharing bounty with all. What if you counted everyone that crosses your path today, tomorrow and all of December as a Blessing sent to you this Holiday season as an opportunity for you to say "Thank You" and share your Blessings with them all?

What would that Holiday season be like? Find out for Yourself!

Affirm:
This Holiday season I let go of stress, worry and perfectionism and I keep my focus on being Thankful, Grateful and Counting all my Blessings.

Have a truly Thankful Holiday season!
And Thank You to each of you for being a Blessing in my Life!

Relax & Be Yourself!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
It is very stressful to try to live up to everyone else's standards for you, to people please, over commit because you're afraid to say No, do things out of guilt rather than free will, hold back your own thoughts and feelings because someone may not like or agree with you.

Just for today try something different. Be your version of you, please yourself, commit only to what you really want to do, speak your thoughts and share your feelings with truth and love.
Just for today - relax and Be You! After all no one can tell you you're doing it wrong because you're the expert on you!

Have a Be True to You Monday!

Find a Reason to Laugh!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

An average five year old child laughs more than four hundred times a day. An Adult? Fourteen.
Do you think that's why so many adults need laxatives? Loretta LaRoche

Your mission today and this week is to find reasons to laugh. Lighten up and enjoy yourself. Find the humor in the little things. Laughter is not only good for your soul but is healthy for your heart. Laughter de-stresses our entire system not to mention providing a wonderful attitude adjustment for ourselves and those around us.

So go for it! Find a reason to laugh!

Have a laughter filled Tuesday!
