You are One of a Kind
“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.” — R. Buckminster Fuller
Peace, Joy and Serenity
“Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

Celebrating Birthdays at any Age
I can and I will live a long and happy life.
Today is my 65th birthday. It is a happy birthday and I look forward to many more. I like to tell people I have plans for my 100th.
We live in an area where people come to retire. I live surrounded by people who do not share my positive outlook on birthdays and getting older. A common phrase around here is “getting old sucks.” I recently heard someone say “there’s nothing golden about the golden years.” I wish people would stop saying those kinds of things.
You see, we create our own reality with our thoughts and our words. If we believe getting old “sucks,” it will. Too many people choose that reality for their “older years.”
It helps if we develop a healthy attitude toward aging at a young age. The better we take care of our bodies and learn to accept ourselves and our bodies no matter what our age the better outcomes we can expect as we grow older.
Today is my birthday. I am 65 years young. I will still celebrate in spite of COVID. We are not going out to eat, but I am treating myself to gluten free Oreos and chocolate dipped strawberries. I will practice yoga, meditate and even do a happy dance. It’s my birthday and no matter what is going on in the world around me I choose to celebrate!
Never Limit Yourself
“Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.” – Mae Jemison
Live Life Creatively
“Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can’t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.” — Alan Alda
The Friday Affirmation
“My inspiration is as close as my breath and as vast as the Universe.”
Creativity Affirmations
All Creativity is Magic
“To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head – and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It’s an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that’s not the most important thing. It’s the work itself.” ~ Alan Moore
Love your Enemies
“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from “Loving Your Enemies”)” ― Martin Luther King Jr., A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
