Its the last day of the April. Take sometime today to write down your success and lessons learned for the month. Be proud and grateful always of yourself and everything that you did. You may have many ups and down but give yourself a pat on the back.
Write down all the things that you are grateful for.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

You made it through the week. Now give yourself a pat on the back. Take a deep breathe at the end of the work week and let it go.
The week is done and now you can relax. As Byron Pulsifer says:
"Friday is the day to finish your goals for the week. It is to celebrate that which you set out to accomplish at the beginning of the week. Well done".
So I repeat, well done! Now go relax and enjoy the weekend.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

I read a great quote today that says "Its's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated"-Black Francis
Adults have such a hard time to keep things simple since we have such complicated minds due to events that happen or the environment we are in or the way we were raised.
My kids have not problem keeping things simple and its learning to keep things simple that is not an easy thing to do. We do tend to over complicate things and I keep practicing to keep it simple, but its not easy.
Keeping things simple requires daily practice. You can always ask yourself questions such as, how can take this in a simple way or live my life more simply. Then you take the steps to do that. It could be as simple as reorganizing the main areas you live in so things are in its place or it could be journaling every night to empty your mind and asking yourself, how can the day's events be looked with a simple mind?
Life is not simple, but it takes work and dedicated to look and work at it to be simple. What choice will you make?
Hope you have a great day!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Its hump day! You made it through mid-week. What are you doing to find your mind this evening. You have a choice to let the day events play out in your mind and please do if you have some good news or had a really happy day, but if you did not have a happy day, then what are you going to do to help you unwind instead of repeatedly playing the events.
For me, when it is a not so happy day, I try to unwind by taking a walk, repeating to myself that the day is over and to let it go, read a good book and most importantly get a good night's rest.
So do what you can to unwind, take a deep breathe and just let it go. LET IT GO!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Robert Rabensteiner said "The ultimate luxury in life remains nature".
If you are feeling happy, overwhelmed or stressed, go out and be with nature. We heal when we connected to nature. Spend time and notice how you feel.
It does not matter if you are feeling happy, go out and just let your happiness be one with nature. You will end up smiling the rest of the day!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Just today, focus on this day. Last week is done, this is a new week and a new Monday. No Monday is ever like, just like no day is alike.
Try to let go of last week and think about what you need for your mindset this week. What's done is done. Today is just today, this week is just this week.
So just today, is my mantra. One day at a time only.
Have a fabulous day!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Good early Saturday Morning!
I somehow still love waking up really early on a Saturday and sitting in the peace and quiet enjoying my cup of coffee.
Its so nice and relaxing to just be in the quiet and enjoy the time to yourself. If you don't already schedule sometime on the weekend to just sit with yourself and your cup of coffee or tea (whatever else you like to have in the morning) and just be.
I usually take an hour, sometimes longer to just sit. It truly feels so good. Give it a try and note how you feel.
Enjoy your weekend!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Here is a great quote from Frank Langella:
"I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody".
Watch your actions and words and see who is that you are trying to please. Are they worth it? Know that you can't please everyone, just please yourself to start with.
Happy Friday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

If you have been having a rough week or day or month, just look at yourself in the mirror and smile. Yes we all have long, hard days but there are good moments in them to. There are also good days so lets not forget that.
Today, just smile even if you don't feel like smiling. Smile at yourself, at your family and even a stranger. Wear your smile wherever you go.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

You are half way through the week. Hope that the week is going well so far.
Winter seems to want to hold on and we have had a few really cold days even though it is almost the end of April. But winter will eventually end and we will have warmer days.
Know that the time will go by and things will continue to change. Sometimes we forget that. I know that I have recently given how stressed out work has been. But like all things, this to shall pass.
Don't give up hope. Hang in there and take a few deep breathes!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Sheryl Sandberg said: "The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have".
If you are at the top of your organization, its humbling to know that as a leader, you can listen and learn.
A lot of times, I have seen leaders have the know it all attitude and can't seem to listen or learn what someone else is saying.
Even if you are not a leader in an organization, you are the leader in your own life so never stop learning. Keep growing, learning and listening. You lead your own life so never forget that.
Hope you have a great Tuesday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

For those of us on vacation last week, its always hard to return to work. Today is my first day back and I was already dreading to check my emails this morning.
There is so much going on that trying to keep my head wrapped around it has been hard. Its a bit to much and stressful.
But you have an option as you start the week. You can let it completely take over you or you can think about some positive affirmation that will help you get through the week.
The option for me is to stay positive and I know that this week will eventually pass. Its like any other week so why let the additional stress of catching up affect me any more.
Its truly not worth it for me or you to let the return of work consume you completely. Take a few deep breathes and just know that one thing, one step is all you can do to move forward, one small step this is.
So my phrase for today is "Just one thing at a time".
Have a great Monday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

For those of you celebrating Easter, I wish you a very Happy Easter. Hope you are with family and loved ones on this special day.
As I end my vacation, I think about this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Life is a journey, not a destination".
Life is not about getting to a specific place but a constant evolvement our ourselves. For me, its never about arriving at a certain place and remaining there but a constant movement from one point to another.
I am referring to more of the internal growth then external events. The external will keep changing but its the journey within that matters the most.
Think about how your life is a journey and will always be one. Its always a good idea to write what you would like for yourself on this journey.
Have a great Sunday.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

" Don't quit your day dream"-Anonymous
I have had recent turns down for a few jobs that I was really interested in. But as the quote suggests never quit your day dream.
So while I am away, I am not going to stop day dreaming to be in a new one maybe not now but hopefully one day soon.
I am also not going to stop day dreaming to visit as many places as I can and to expose my kids as well.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Today is the only day that I am going to get internet for the next couple of days at least due to travel. I love quotes and since I am away this quote is great:
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"- J.R.R Tolkien
So for the next 2 days, with hardly any internet, I am going to decide to just enjoy in the jungle and not think or worry about anything else. There is no other option and the only option is to truly just be present.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

I know so many are on spring break and yet so many of you are working. Remember to write down your weekly positive affirmations.
Since I am on vacation this week, this is my quote of the day:
"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited of what could go right".
Have a great week!

I am so excited that this is my 100th post for 2022. I am travelling and having a great time.
I love this quote from Jo Walton:
"There's a sunrise and sunset every single day, and they are absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them".
You don't need to travel to see the sunrise. Wake up and see it everyday where ever you are but don't miss it.
Hope you have a great Sunday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Been travelling for spring break and its has been nice to get away although it has been really long and tiring days. Lots of sites to visit and things to do.
Its nice to be away but it is also very hectic. As when anyone who goes on vacation we always take a lot of pictures. It reminds me of a quote below:
"We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone", Katie Thurmes
Whenever you want to relive a moment, look at the picture.
Hope you have a great Saturday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Its always fun to go away but it can be stressful as well. I am hoping to be able to still post everyday but realize it may not happen.
Spring is here and she always comes every year. If you are going away on spring break, let yourself have a good time. I need to keep reminding myself that but I know that my work has been so stressful that it has been hard to just let go and say have a good time.
Nevertheless, the mantra that I will keep repeating to myself is "Let yourself have a great vacation and really enjoy it".
So if you are going away, come up with a mantra and keep repeating it and most importantly, let yourself experience a great time.
Have a great Thursday!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Learning to relax is one of the things that is a daily practice for me. Its hard to relax when there is so much going on in our daily lives.
One way is to throughout the day, notice how you are feeling, like is your shoulders tensed or is your neck hurting. We do tense up in our bodies so by noticing it you can relax to relax your shoulders and ease the tension on your neck.
Things become more manageable when we can relax. The goal is to keep noticing how you are feeling throughout the day and keep practicing to relax.
Taking a few deep breathes every hour also helps to relax you. Set aside some time to take a few breathes throughout the day.
Find your own ways to help you relax but really put it in practice.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Another start to the week. Time is really going by fast and its already April. This week shall pass to and I am really excited since we leave at the end of the week for spring break vacation.
Write down a few positive affirmations to get you through the week. Remember to also get out as much as possible and take in some fresh air.
Enjoy the week and always give yourself a pat on the back for doing such a great job.

Here is your Friday's quote:
"Don't try and figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say"-Barbara Kingsolver
This quote says a lot about using your own voice. Speak your truth and don't speak what you think others want to hear.
Its your voice and your life. Use it.
