Picking up on yesterday, with a shorter post. In yesterday’s post I said this: We tend to think a lot about what we perceive we have done wrong or what wrong has been done to us, and a lot less about all that we have done right and all the good that has been done … Continued
“Make the past a blessing.” Zvi Ish-Shalom This was something I heard this morning and it really struck me. As I write this in the late afternoon, it is still with me. This year I have dug deep into the past- way past, and am now weeding through my more “current” past. A couple of times … Continued
What do you BELIEVE in? Again, like yesterday, a multi faceted word. We act on what we believe. Some beliefs are helpful to us and empower us. Some are what we refer to as limiting beliefs.

Zest is described as approaching life with excitement and energy, not doing things halfway or halfheartedly, living life as an adventure and feeling alive and activated. “Zestiness” may not be your natural state of … Continued
I read this in Louise Hay’s book- Gratitude A Way of Life- a book I take out to read every year at this time. “What does saying thank you do for you?

I love making up words! I shared my new word, thanksbeing in my newsletter last week. One thing I can tell you- spell check HATES it! 🙂 This month, there is so much going on that I wanted to combine this season of gratitude (in my world that is what November is all about) and … Continued
