The Friday Affirmation

I radiate love and positivity.

Repeat this affirmation even if you don’t believe it yet. It will come.

The Wednesday Word: Nurture

This Wednesday Word is nurture. The Britannica Dictionary defines it as “to help (something or someone) to grow, develop, or succeed.” This definition differs from others which talk mainly about feeding or providing physical care.

We can nurture our children, our significant other, talent, even ideas. At one time or another we will all need help something or someone grow, develop or succeed. May we both offer and accept help as needed.

Sunday Inspiration

I believe in the power of empathy and compassion to create a better world. 

We live in a world that seems to have lost touch with empathy and compassion and their power to create a better world. Take time this week to listen to others. Don’t be quick to judge but listen with empathy and compassion.

The Wednesday Word: Healthy

Do you do your best to live a healthy lifestyle? The food we eat, the air we breathe, every step we walk, how we manage the stress in our lives, even our thoughts, all make a difference in our health. Living a healthy lifestyle can help prevent illness and make our daily lives easier and more enjoyable by maintaining good health.

“Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” —Anne Frank in The Diary of a Young Girl

This why we must never lose hope. It is even that little glimmer of hope that can give us courage and make us strong. You can also turn this quote around and say, Where there’s life there is hope.

“I am in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing.” — Louise Hay

The Wednesday Word: Create

Now don’t you just see this week’s word and stop reading. I hear some of you thinking “I’m not creative.” Sorry to say this, but you are wrong. We all create every day with our thoughts, words and actions whether we realize it or not.

Our thoughts affect our attitude and our actions. If you we think we won’t be able to do something we won’t. But if we think and believe we can, then the sky’s the limit.

Don’t get stuck in believing you can’t do something or not seeing your abilities. We are all creative and we all create every day. Whether good or “bad” our thoughts become things. So let’s go out there and create good stuff like peace, happiness, brotherhood, love and joy.

Sunday Inspiration

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” – Nelson Mandela

Oh I love this one. I need it. During these turbulent times we need to making choices that are based in hope, not fear. If there is an “enemy” in all this it is fear. It’s not about what is happening to us, it is how we react to it and the choices we make. So as we walk through the darkness, may our choices reflect our hopes, not our fears.
