wake up!
♡
You … are your own reality.
You … are your own destiny.
You … are your own future.
Inside of you is more capability than you can possibly imagine just waiting for you to discover.
So today and all of your tomorrows embrace and love fiercely who you are because you truly are one amazing and awesome person (just in case you didn’t already know this).
I’ll add one more important caveat.
YOU … YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN!
♡
Take care of you.
All my love,

It seems to me
that all we be
“The view we see”
depends upon
… me and thee! ~ Plh

Thank you. I hope your week is progressing in a most positive way and that it continues to be so in coming days. Also remember … take care of you!
With much affection,

“For me, rain brings a feeling of renewal. A cleansing, a scrubbing away of yesterday’s woes.
For a child, its one more thing of joy and wonder!” ~ Plh

Today, take some time to renew, refresh, enjoy and above all, wonder – at the mysteries of life!
Hope your week is going well, take care of you.
With affection,

“Be careful not to get lost in your own life by trying to follow ‘too closely‘ the lives of others.” ~Plh
So very easy to get caught up in events, situations and circumstances of those around us.
It is important to care and be involved. It’s equally important to recognize when you’ve become so involved that you are neglecting yourself and your own well-being.
Stay balanced and healthy my friend!
Have a happy week and as always … take care of you!

“When we hold onto beauty of life

… with thoughts & actions
and our hearts …
We light up our lives & our souls!” ~ Plh

What do you think of yourself as a person? Seriously, come on be honest here, because unless you said I’m a happy and well adjusted individual who thinks of myself as a good person then you’re probably letting the past and other people dictate many of your feelings.
Truth is the following: it doesn’t matter who you were growing up as a child, or in school, if you were viewed as or thought yourself as unliked or unpopular – it doesn’t matter now. Unless you’ve decided to make it matter.
Because who you are deep inside – is the seed of you, of your potential and the possibilities of who you are meant to be. Everything else is an outside influence, you being the one to determine how to deal with them.
Anyone who decides their own self worth is tied into what others think is not seeing themselves clearly. A foggy view at best! Your self-worth is decided by you. All other things should factor in after you realize and accept this as your personal truth.
Our experience in life shapes and molds our character, another truth, however even if your life has been filled with negative circumstances and negative verbal input, it’s still you who decides what to do.
The only person you have to prove anything to is YOU, period!
And from where I’m standing you’re looking pretty terrific. You’re a great person with a huge, sensitive caring heart. The people who don’t realize this both past and present, (because they haven’t taken the time to get to know the real you), well that’s their loss … not yours.
So take another look at who you think you are. I believe the view is pretty amazing. The view of you, as it should be!
Hope your week started off well and keeps getting better. Remember … take care of you because if you aren’t well, you can’t be there for others, or effectively accomplish your own goals.
With sincere affection,
Penny

We each know how good we feel when someone says something encouraging to us. The day seems a little bit brighter and we feel better about ourselves and what we are trying to accomplish.
It works the other way too. Each time we take just a few extra minutes to be supportive, let another person know we think they’re doing a good job, it brightens their day as well. It can mean so much more than we realize, perhaps even making that important difference in self confidence and determination at a time when really needed. Continue reading
… because I can be more than I am … BECAUSE I believe in Me! (Say mantra daily and repeat as needed.)
Life has a habit of intruding into our plans. Have you noticed this? I certainly have. You find yourself derailed from the direction you were headed by some unanticipated occurrence. And in many cases it seems to be an ongoing scenario, those unanticipated interruptions.
So what to do? Simplify your daily task schedule, (as you can) create a little spare time to handle potential interruptions. A good portion of what throws us off base are the emotions experienced (stress) with an unexpected event. Allowing for the possibility of unexpected intrusions in your day gives you a more positive mindset for approaching and resolving unplanned situations.
Work on improving your personal organizational skills. Between work and family (both young and old) and the variety of responsibilities accompanying each area of involvement, the better organized you are, the better equipped you will be for tackling your tasks and completing them.
There are going to be hard days. I’ve discovered the best way to deal with them is to Think Positive and stay emotionally in control of yourself, don’t go to a ‘bad place’. Don’t allow negative thoughts to take over. Remind yourself you can get through this latest interruption. Regardless of what it is.
There are many excellent examples of average people who manage to continue on, in spite of overwhelming odds and adversity. What they all have in common … they never lose sight of their goal, they stay determined and they … Believe in Themselves!

Have a great week ahead, and as always … take care of you. If you aren’t well not only do you have a harder time accomplishing your goals, you can’t be there for those who need you!
With affection,

Yes, today is “officially” National Hug Day for the year 2015 and while I think every day should be hug day and everyone should hug one another “frequently” for those who need another reason to hug, here it is!
Have a wonderful day everyone, filled with love and of course just oodles of hugs, because it is a very very wonderful thing!
With much affection, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
