Do you have a support network?

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today's focus is on your support network. Who are the people that you can count on to raise your spirits, that support your greatest good, that will tell you the truth, speak from their heart to yours. People that are positive, that cheer you on in your dreams and goals.
People that when you get done talking to them you feel better, you are in a better mood, you feel good about you.
Hang onto those people that exist right now for you and that you feel support you with positivity, truth and love. And then set your intention to draw into your support network more of the same.

Affirm:
Today I look for and seek out people that are positive, healthy and nurturing for my positive support network!

Have a Positively Terrific Tuesday!

the Antidote is Gratitude.

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Gratitude is the antidote to worry. Worry is fear about the future, what will happen later today, tomorrow, next year. Gratitude is about the right Now. So when you find yourself worrying about anything, STOP! and become grateful. Find gratitude in the small things, the big things, the everyday things, the simple things.
Have Gratitude for waking up today, for having transportation, for having a job, for the sun shining, for the health you do have, for the friends and family that surround you, for food on the table, a roof over your head, a pet that loves you, a child's laugh, the sun glistening off the water, the ability to think for yourself, for fresh air, for living in a free country, for your senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing, a sense of humor, that yesterday is done and today is a brand new canvas.
Today realize that you cannot be worried or fearful when you are thinking and focusing on all the things you are grateful for.

Affirm:
     Today my attitude of gratitude keeps me in a positive and worry free space!

Have a Lots to be Grateful for Wednesday!

My View is getting better all the time!

The view from my studio is getter better all the time! Grandkids, daughter in law, hubby and Me have been each adding precious creativity to the newly re-constructed picket fence. I have painted a table, bench that my grandson made, stained the deck, added colorful flower pots, got the Frog fountain going, added plants, chimes and color, color, color! I love the way it is turning out and it brings joy to my heart and bliss to my spirit to sit out here in the morning enjoying my cup of coffee or working on my schedule or doing art.
How blessed am I?!
I am especially grateful to my dear hubby who is a builder extraordinaire! His motto is "If you can imagine it, I can build it!"  And indeed I can imagine it and he builds it! Then I get to paint, embellish and light it up. You can't see in these pics but we have strung up solar lights, and put in oil lamps so the evenings become magical!
Well I am off to enjoy the view and nature while working on more invitations for my Studio Open House on the 26th!
