Kindness to ourselves has to start with us! I believe in you and all that you are capable of – the question is; do you believe in yourself? If you can, then what I think empowers you. If you cannot, than what I think does not even matter.
For some of us it is harder than for others to be kind to ourselves – what with that negative self talk and all. We have all been mean to ourselves at one time or another. I have been training myself to only say good stuff about myself. Now I can more easily share kindness with everyone around me because I live with it every day - but it had to start with me. It feels good. I recommend you try it.
We must feed ourselves kindness – then we can share our love and kindness with others. Dreams happen very quickly then.
Try extending this day into a lifetime and just watch the results in your life.
With great love, Suzanne

Be conscious
It is easy to live life unconsciously – to just go through the motions – to just do it this way because that is what we have always done …… sometimes we don’t even think – it is like we are on autopilot.
What do we miss when we go through life unconsciously? What opportunities have we missed? What pleasures have we missed? Could we even have missed an easy route to attaining our dream?
Let’s make a conscious effort to turn off our autopilot and plan to be conscious in our life every moment of every day. Yes, that means even while we are driving! Ever gotten from point A to B without remembering the details? Uh huh, me too!
We can make the choice to be conscious of our thoughts, beliefs, actions and the people and opportunities around us as we do our day to day activities.
Is it a little harder to focus on these things rather than run on autopilot? Sure – but the benefits are worth it! I’m sure we will enjoy ourselves more and I bet we will suddenly see more clearly the clues all around us for how to live our dream. Maybe they have been there all along or maybe something new is coming right this minute…… quick – be conscious!

In pursuit of Perfection
We can get caught up in being perfect and doing things perfectly. Is perfection really important though? Maybe perfection is in the eye of the beholder anyway?
Can perfection interfere with us enjoying life and even get in the way of us living our dreams? Maybe it can. Maybe it even happens more often than we would like to admit.
I know that I would rather have friends over – even when the house does not look perfect, than miss out on visiting with my friends. I would rather send out this blog with my day’s thoughts – even if it is not perfect, because I think it is important to share, and maybe it will make a difference to one person’s life.
I’m not perfect. I make lots of mistakes, but I figure mistakes are bound to happen to us all on the way to living our dreams. Take a look around you at the people you think are successful – do you think they have made mistakes? Have you even witnessed some of their mistakes? Does it really matter?
I think somebody important once said, “Perfection is not of this world.” I live here – in this world. How about you?
P.S. I think you are perfect just the way you are – in fact, I think everyone is perfect as is. That means you don’t have to worry about being perfect anymore! There, happy to solve that one for you.
With great love, Suzanne

Is the future so bright that you've gotta wear shades?
Would that be a great place to be? We can create it you know. We can start by living our lives on the bright side of the street.
Everything that happens to us, or around us, could probably be looked at positively or negatively, in one way or another. The questions are: Where is our focus? More important, where do we want it to be?
Do we want more good things to happen in our lives? Then we should focus on the good stuff. Our focus will attract more of it to us! It can be very easy to live life on the bright side. It is a choice we all have.
When we choose the bright side, before we know it, we are reaching for our shades because our future looks so bright! It’s filled with so many possibilities …. And so many dreams that we can clearly see we will be living …. Suddenly life is really exciting and feels wonderful.
We can create that! Personally, I need about 20 different pairs of shades - to go with my different outfits you know.
With great love, Suzanne

Gratitude - is it always obvious?
It is easy to feel gratitude over obvious things – but what about the not so obvious?
Last week I slipped on a slight incline and my left foot twisted backwards so that the top of my foot from my toe nail to my ankle scraped the cement. It hurt for the week – I did not think much about it – and certainly did not extend any gratitude for it. I figured I had other things to be grateful for and focused on them.
Several days after it happened, it was pointed out to me how lucky I was – I could have broken my ankle! That honestly had never even occurred to me! So I didn’t even think that was something to be grateful for! I do Yoga so it must keep me more limber – now another extension found for my gratitude.
How many times do we have something less than wonderful happen in our lives and it does not even occur to us to give thanks because it could have been so much worse? Where is our focus? Maybe the event even stopped us from being somewhere or doing something else that would have not been good for us? Sometimes the things we have to be grateful for are not obvious, but they are always there!
This week let’s try to look from a new perspective and see what new gratitude’s we will find in unexpected things.
I’ll be living my dreams one gratitude at a time. Thank you dearest foot, thank you Universe for the reminder, thank you all for reading ……..
How about you?
With great love, Suzanne

Procrastination may be good for us
Procrastination is usually considered to be a negative or a bad thing, but what if it is really a good thing?
Maybe when we feel the need to procrastinate, it means we should not do this thing we figure we need to do, or maybe even that we don’t need to do it. Really, have you ever let some things sit on your "to do list" so long that you decided to just cross them off? I rest my case.
Our time may be better spent on doing the things that really get us excited – doing the things that we just can’t wait to do has to get us to our dreams faster than trying to do the things we hate or dread.
My secret is: if it feels good to do something and I am inspired and motivated to do it - I do it -no questions- and I do it as soon as possible. If I’m not inspired or motivated, and I can live without it being done, I cross it off the list. Why waste our energy on stuff like that? If it is something I am not really excited about but it needs to be done; I delegate it, decide to do it on my own time (next Tuesday for example), or do it really quick so that it doesn’t interfere with the fun stuff I’m inspired to do.
Really, it is all about energy, positive thoughts and the Law of Attraction. The faster we deal with anything we want to procrastinate on, the sooner we clear that negative or heavy energy away so that the inspirations and feel good thoughts can come into our lives.
We live our dreams faster when we spend our time doing all the things we are inspired to do. Procrastination may just be a way for us to guide ourselves to the good stuff that life has in store for us.

What fear?
Get this – experts actually talk about both fear of failure and fear of success. Can you believe it? We can be afraid to fail and afraid to succeed? Maybe we should just add fear of life and never leave the house! Are we actually being held back from living our dream life by fear?
What will people say? Will we be rejected? Will we look foolish? Will people talk about us behind our back? ..... The list goes on and on.
Let’s look at Donald Trump. Do you think he has any fears?
Let’s see, he already lost all his money once and came back even richer, he’s been divorced and found love again, invested in all kinds of real estate – in all kinds of markets (making money and losing money), written books, made TV shows, does public speaking engagements … and feels confident to wear his hair any way he chooses. I’d say - no fear.
Maybe that is the secret; try everything and when you live though it – you discover that there is nothing to fear. Do you think he always knew the outcome of his actions? Nope. But it all seems to have worked out.
What if we decided that everything in life always turns out perfectly and that we are perfectly safe in this playground called life? What if we decided we could do no wrong because the only person to please is ourselves anyway? All of a sudden it becomes; fear of what? There is suddenly nothing to fear.
I suggest that by taking the action to live our dream, the fears will disappear. They were never real to begin with anyway.
Look mom – here I go – watch me - no fear! What a dream!

Anticipation
When we anticipate beautiful things will happen in our life – they usually do.
We can anticipate good things happening in our lives and experience joy ……. or anticipate bad things happening in our lives and be afraid. By choosing our focus – we ultimately choose our end result. This is the Law of Attraction showing itself once again.
Do you know what the ultimate combo for living our dreams is? It is to find what we are grateful for now in our lives, while we take it even further by anticipating our glorious future.
What good things are you happily anticipating for your life?
I anticipate joyously celebrating you living your dream!
By the way, that means I’ll be living one of mine! Don’t you know? One of my dreams is to help you live yours! What a team!
Live it! Live it! Live it! Live it! Live it! Live it! Live it! …………. Oh yes!

Money is a beautiful energy
Sometimes the dream is to have more money; to accumulate more wealth in life. It can be a very worthwhile goal as money can help give us more freedom and choices in our lives.
It could be noted however that; the singular pursuit of money – just to accumulate money for moneys sake usually does not buy much happiness. We can always have happiness without money. In fact, it is when we find our happiness that the money usually flows to us more freely.
Have you ever thought about money as simply energy? After all, everything in our life is simply energy – or what’s called a vibration. We just need to align ourselves with money energy to attract it.
What do you think about when you think about money? Do you have positive thoughts and expectations or feelings of lack? Do you cheer when someone comes into a lot of money or grumble because it is not fair? Do you feel that you are capable and deserving of having an abundance of money in your life? We need to look deeply within ourselves for these answers because often what we say – is different than how we truly feel. Our answers start to tell us if we are aligned with the energy of money or not.
When we feel good about money, it will flow into our reality as if we were holding a magnet out to it! It can also come from sources we would never have imagined. Happy aligning!

Who do you hang around with?
It is a good idea to continually look around at our friends and who we surround ourselves with. Are they empowering and uplifting us? Do we feel good when we are around them? Are they cheering for our success and we for theirs? Do they talk of positives or negatives in life?
One very fast way to living our dreams is to surround ourselves with positive and uplifting people. Can we also be the same friend for them?
If we and our friends drag each other down, it takes much longer to be able to live those dreams – if ever. An easy way to figure out if each relationship is positive or not, is to ask ourselves if we feel better or worse about ourselves and life after we have been with them.
When we are uplifting friends, and we have uplifting friends, those dreams hit fast forward. They can zoom in faster than we could ever have imagined.

What if there was no tomorrow?
If there was no tomorrow coming, would the things we are worried about today matter? Would we even bother to worry about them?
If there was no tomorrow, would we be sad about things we did not do today? Would we be disappointed about things we did not say to loved ones and friends today?
What would happen if we all lived like there was no tomorrow? What would be important today?
Let’s live each of our days to the fullest and enjoy each one for the special gift that it is. I believe that we have the power to make every day into a dream day. What does your dream day look like?

The circle of love
When we give with love, we feel good. What else happens? Many we gave to want to give back to us with love. Then they feel good and we even feel good again and want to give more love back to even more people.
When we receive with love – people are grateful because we like their present. Then we are moved to give back ourselves.
The giving and receiving can consist of things, a gesture, a kind word or even a smile. Sure you can give and receive those things without love, but then you are missing out on the best part.
The giving and receiving of love becomes a never ending circle and life becomes filled with gratitude. It’s a very nice way to enjoy life and another great and easy way to start living our dream life.
Go ahead and show your love today. We’ll never feel empty as long as we are giving away love.

How will our dream happen?
It is not our job to know. That makes things simple doesn’t it? We don’t have to figure that one out! Let’s face it; figuring out “how” we are going to get or achieve something is the hardest part. That is what always stumps us. In fact, that is what usually stops us from even trying. We can be heard muttering, “How would that ever be possible for me?” Stop! Because the “how“ is not for us to figure out!
Our role is to decide what our dream is and to focus on how it will feel for us to live it. Our job is to picture the end result. What happens next? We will receive ideas and inspirations of little things to do every day – our only job is to do them - no matter how insignificant they seem. When we do all these little things that come to mind, we move closer and closer to that dream.
One day soon we will be living our dream and as we stand there in the middle of all the beauty that surrounds us – we probably could never have imagined it would have happened like it did.
Staying detached from the “How” allows our dream to happen faster.

Beautiful moments for life
A good life is made up of a series of beautiful little moments. Can you recognize them all when they happen? We can wait for these moments to happen to us or we can start the ball rolling.
Could you offer thanks to someone today?
Could you play with someone today?
Could you hug someone today?
Could you stop and admire something beautiful?
When we offer beautiful moments, we not only get to enjoy them ourselves but we start a process where we receive the gift of more than we can count returned.
Our life is the sum of our moments. Let’s choose to make them beautiful and worth remembering. May the road to living your dreams be filled with beautiful moments.

Smile - it's contagious
Smile and the world will smile with you. Well, I bet that the majority of people you encounter will smile back, and will probably be found paying it forward to the very next person they meet.
When we smile, we start a chain reaction. First, we feel happier - sometimes for no apparent reason but for that we are smiling. Maybe it is because it makes us look for reasons we can smile. Next, when we smile, we interact with other people in a happier and more positive way which usually makes them feel happier and more positive. Then, they want to return that to us and others. A smile is capable of feeding itself and that makes it contagious. It really is so much fun to spread a smile.
If you are not smiling already, turn the corners of your mouth up and make a smile. Are you feeling its power?
Maybe we can start living our dreams one smile at a time! After all, the Law of Attraction states that when we are feeling good, we attract more stuff that makes us feel good into our lives …. enter our dream.
A smile is a small and simple tool that can be used in the quest to live your dreams. It is so small that it is often overlooked. Try it and it may just pay off in big rewards, for you and everyone around you.
With great love, Suzanne

Relax
Take time to relax today and every day. Take time for yourself. Everything in our life flows more smoothly when we relax. We can live all of our dreams more easily when we relax. Trust me on this.
Breathe in, breathe out – sounds simple doesn’t it? Do something or do nothing – do whatever brings you feelings of peace and joy. Do it for a few minutes or do it all day.
Every day we have a multitude of things that need to be done. We all seem to have “to do” lists that never end. We stress over things. I know all about it as some of my “to do” lists run into next year! Let’s stop. Stop and relax and enjoy life. Are we here on planet earth to accomplish a list of things that need to be done? I think not.
So, breathe in, breathe out – and think about what you would like to do to relax. It is simple really and it’s a great way to start living your dreams. You’ll see.
With great love, Suzanne

Living the Marathon dream
I have had several posts of my 62 year old friend who has been training for a Marathon. A few weeks ago he did it! Here is the story in his own words .......
The gambler said, “Every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser, you gotta to know how to hold ‘em, know how to fold ‘em the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep!” (or something like that!!) The marathon runner says you have to know how to pick up your feet and put them down for 26 and ¼ miles, [42.2 km] and very one that finishes is a winner. The best you can hope for is to be able to walk sometime in the next week!
Victoria, Oct. 7th, 8.30 am. I find myself in amongst nearly 10,000 others who will take part in the events here; marathon, 1/2 marathon, 8k, etc. I hear the mayor giving us a big welcome to the city as the starting clock is ticking down. Last minute check… shoes tied and knotted? Do I have enough clothes on? It’s sunny but cool. Maybe too many clothes on? Yep, I’m taking off my sweats top and bottom.
Bam! We’re off! This mass of runners is moving! The street is lined with supporters, moms, dads, wives and husbands, friends… all cheering as we run out under the balloon arch. Truly awesome!
At the half-way mark my time is 2.17.25; 25 seconds behind Alta. I’m enjoying watching Alta, my daughter run. She is just seconds ahead of me.. pony tail swinging side to side Right there is the reason I’m in this race. About 6 months ago she said, “Dad, I want to do a Marathon. You did one 18 years ago and I haven’t done one. I think I can. Train with me, keep me accountable.”
Having reached a weight that I’d never thought I would, why not… might take off these added pounds! So some 5 plus months later, after running training runs in four provinces of Canada and 1 state in the USA of approximately 575-600 miles, in nearly every kind of weather (except a real down pour), and reducing my weight by 20 pounds…. I’m chasing her pony tail!
There are not only good runners here, there are great runners here. It was somewhere about this time I met the first returning runner. WOW I’m not even at the half way mark! Man is he moving! No doubt going faster than I can ever sprint!
I’m still feeling good at the half way point and I have even managed to pass a few runners, some who have picked up cramps and a few that are really slower than me, surprise, surprise! Now is where things start to change. A light rain has started. Good, no problem, I’ve had some runs in a light drizzle. We’re on the return, running along the bay and a wind is coming up and the rain is no longer a drizzle, it’s raining! There are a lot of runners not dressed for this and soon we start to see the effects when some of them are put into the ambulances. Some are in quite bad condition. The road is water all over. The rain has become a downpour. The wind, while not real strong is making this run a real challenge. At about this time in this mess I have lost sight of that pony tail swinging up ahead. From this point on, she’s running her own race and I’m left to run mine! Some well meaning person has brought out a kayak and placed it along the road! I find it amazing to see a few locals shivering under their umbrellas trying to encourage us as we splash down the streets.
Soon after I lost sight of Alta, the left side of my brain, (or is there anything left of my brain?!), started telling me, “this is just a fun run that has turned into a not fun run so why don’t you just walk? You’re cold, this is stupid.” I tell the brain it’s right but I’m running any way! Slower, mind you, but staying in the run. There is no more sightseeing. It’s just… have mercy; don’t let it be much farther!
With about 4 miles to go, a couple of policewomen came along side me. “Are you ok? Talk to us.” My mind is screaming.. go way, I’m trying to run. They won’t go away, so I tell them I’m ok! But they say you don’t look ok. They decided they better call for help. I don’t want help, I’m so close to the end I just want to finish. So I say, “Hey girls, you want to go dancing afterwards? They assure me I won’t be doing any dancing afterwards, so I tell them “If I didn’t pretend to run like this I’d never get to beautiful police officers escorting me down the road!” Got a laugh and they decided to let me continue on!
I really was hurting, though! My muscles were so cold they were contracting and pulling me forward. I’d become what is referred to as a “leaner”. You can see that in the picture taken of me when I crossed the finish line. Fact was, I was leaning forward so bad that I had to keep running or I’d fall forward. I could not slow down to walk!
As soon as Alta crossed the finish line (at 4 hours, 28 minutes, and 41 seconds) she returned to meet me. She ran the last mile in with me. I remember her saying, Dad, I did it, you can too. I tried to straighten; up but for all the world I could not. Alta on the other hand, really had a great run sprinting the last few hundred yards then, returning to run in with me. Wow! Little did I realize I was only 32 minutes (three miles) behind that wet pony tail! I was very grateful the aids caught me as I crossed the finish line and took in to the medical tent.
I know never is a long time, but if it takes me another 18 years to get ready for my next one that’s probably never! This is the third day after as I write this and my recovery has been phenomenal. I walk normally and plan a 4 mile run for tomorrow.
I now have the medallion and the tee shirt and a time of 4 hours, 50 minutes and 22 seconds!!
Thanks for running with me, The Marathoner
Way to live the dream Clifford!
With great love, Suzanne

Vision
Sharing a few words on vision today .........
"Visionary people are visionary partly because of the very great many things they don't see."
Berkeley Rice
"Isn't this so true! Visionary people don't seem to see obstacles - or at least, they don't see them as obstacles, maybe just as challenges. I've heard so many successful business people say that when going in, they didn't even know what could go wrong. They were so focused on looking at their vision that all the obstacles were a blur. They were so committed to following through with their vision that they couldn't even imagine anything stopping them so they turned that vision into a reality. " Lissa Coffey
It is all about choices - we can choose our focus. If we focus only on the goal (and of course on enjoying our journey along the way) and not the obstacles we can live all our dreams. What's your choice?

FUN
I figure life is supposed to be fun. If I don’t have fun and love in my life, why bother with it?
It is simplistic, but it works for me. It has made for a pretty interesting life because if ever I didn’t like my job, I quit it. I have a whole history of many different jobs and careers. Interestingly, nothing in my life suffered. In fact, I have enjoyed my life immensely.
Our life is a testament of our choices. For me, if something is not fun - then forget it. What is the use of doing something that you don’t enjoy doing?
What is fun for you? What do you choose? We always have choices. If you can’t see them, ask a friend or a life coach.
When we live life with fun as a goal it becomes much easier to see the way to our dreams.
With great love, Suzanne

Who are you?
My husband and I went to see a movie called, The Genius Club, yesterday. I will not even go into the story line. Suffice to say, it was interesting.
A question that is posed in it is, “Who am I?” It is a question that cannot be answered with what you do, the sports you play, the grades you get, or the fact that you are a wife, husband, mother, father, grandma or grandpa. These are all the things we use to label ourselves but they are not really who we are.
Think about that for awhile. What would you answer?
I would say, “I am love.” For me, if we cannot give love and feel love, what do we have to live for? What is the meaning of life without love? I strive to do everything I do with love because that is all I have. All I do is with a goal of feeling love – even my own love. Love is what gives my life meaning - so that is who I choose to be. I am love. Who are you?
There cannot be one correct answer because we are all different. There may be as many answers as there are people in the world, but our answers may help us live with more happiness in our lives and certainly clarify our dreams and then help us live them.
Go ahead and introduce yourself to the world and tell us who you are. I, for one, love you. Unconditionally, just as you are because that is who I am.
With great love, Suzanne

Dream - Dare - Do
If we can dream it – we can dare to do it! If we can dream it – we can live it! There is always a way, even when it does not seem obvious to us. How is that for a belief?
In my world anything is possible. How about yours? Our possibilities start with our beliefs. When we change our beliefs, we increase our possibilities. Ooh, I see another possibility coming your way now!

Affirmations
I think we would all agree that what we affirm to ourselves during each day plays a very important role in how our life turns out. So what is your self talk? Is it positive or negative?
I am not even going to state what any of the negatives could be because quite frankly, none of us need any help in that department!
I’ll give you some ideas for positive self talk though. Start with these and add on – the more the merrier. Say them to yourself until they become second nature.
I am so good at ___________.
I have great visions and I am making them real.
I always do ____________ well.
I deserve abundance.
Everything happens for me easily.
Every time you say something to yourself – your mind wants to prove you right, so you might as well be saying positive stuff and then when your life is sailing along you can tell yourself – see? I told you so!
I can hear your dream life knocking on your door already! Enjoy living it!
With great love, Suzanne
