Take care of you

In our effort to do what we feel is right for our families and our friends we can forget to take care of ourselves and our needs. Who suffers when we do that?

Everyone around us suffers when we forget to take care of ourselves. We can become short tempered, lose patience, be less loving, and feel drained as well as put upon. Does that sound like a good space to be in? Not if we desire to have joyous lives full of love and kindness.

The rule: Take as much care of yourself as the people you love.
When we do this, everyone around us feels it.

Sharing the love starts with you and yourself.
Allow yourself to feel good. Then you can spread that around.
Go ahead you know how to do it.

With great love, Suzanne

Dream often ... Dream big

I subscribe to daily messages from Neale Donald Walsch and I simply must share with you part of one of his messages from last week because it is about the very dreams we talk about.

... Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.
Robert Conklin said that, and he was right.

So dream away, and dream often, and dream big.
And never let anyone talk you out of your dreams.

What is your dream today? Is it vast enough, bold enough?

Thank you for the share Neale Donald Walsch.
May your dreams be big, vast and bold so you have lots to play with.

With great love, Suzanne

What if everything is changing?

Lots of changes are happening in the world today...

The way I see it is ... when everything is changing ... maybe we need to change the way we look at everything.

Do you have assumptions of what is correct in life? What is normal? What is truth?
Are you sure all these things are correct? What if everything changes?
What if the way things have always been done does not work anymore?

Maybe we will have to create some new beliefs ... some new truths.
What works for you now? It may really be time to think outside of the box.

It does not have to be scary, it can just be different.
Different can be fun. Different can make us feel fully alive.

Maybe where we live will become different... Maybe the way we live will become different... Maybe how we earn our money will become different... Maybe what is truly important in our lives will be seen differently. These can all be good things.

If many things have already changed, maybe now we just need to adjust our thoughts to find some really awesome things.

With great love, Suzanne

Who says?

Do you ever feel like you have to live a certain way... or behave or act in a certain way because, society, your friends, your family or your neighbours expect it?

Why? Who can say what is the correct way to ... look, act, feel or do?
What if you want to do something different?
What if you want to wear rubber boots in the sunshine?
What if you want to live in a different way?
Then make the choice to be different if it is what you really desire.
Choose it if it makes you happy.

No one should dictate what is acceptable for you. Only you can do that.
Wouldn’t life be boring if we were all the same?
Shake it up, spice it up ... live life on your terms!


With great love, Suzanne

We master life by living it

Nobody has everything mastered.
It would be a mistake to compare ourselves to anyone and feel that maybe they do know all the answers or have the perfect life and we don’t.

Everybody has those moments in their lives that they would prefer to do again.
Everyone has areas they think they could be better at.
We can only do the best we can every day and in every moment.
And that is really all that we need to do in life.
Oh yeah, we need to enjoy life too.

You are a master because you are living life.
It doesn’t have to be perfect ... just enjoyed.
Go enjoy some moments today.

With great love, Suzanne

Ten things I know about life

- We get more of whatever we put our focus on.
- A doughnut tastes better than a stick of celery.
- It feels good to hug a friend.
- It feels great to get a hug.
- We get back tenfold whatever we give ... love, kindness, appreciation....
- It feels good to hear the words ‘thank you’.
- Whatever we believe becomes true for us ... but it is not necessarily true for everybody else.
- We can always choose what we think or how we respond.
- Being right is not always important.
- A whole bunch of you will go back to count if I listed 10 things. Is it really important?

Now you can add yours and we will all be really smart sharing like this!

With great love, Suzanne

I am cheering for you!

What do you desire for or in your life?
I am cheering for you and I know if your desire is strong enough, it is yours.

What do you desire?
Clarify it. Visualize it. Write about it. Talk about it. Plan for it. Expect it.
Allow it into your life. Welcome it.

Accept no worry about how, when, who or where.
Know it is yours simply because you asked and it will be.

I am cheering for you.
Can you feel it?
Rah, rah, rah!

With great love, Suzanne

Do something different

Are you feeling bored or stuck in any areas of your life?
It happens to us all at one time or another.
Sometimes it sneaks up on us...
We used to be content and then suddenly we are not.
Sometimes we let it sit with us for so long it saps our energy.
Perhaps not the best way to enjoy our life to the fullest...

When we feel bored or stuck it means it is time to play ... time to shake it up a little.
That sounds like fun doesn’t it?
What can you do differently? What new things can you try?
What little shifts can you make in your actions and in your thoughts?
How can you play with life?

Our ideas often want to take us a little out of our comfort zone...
But you know it feels great to stretch that old comfort zone.
Go ahead and give your ideas a try and suddenly life will feel good again.

I just started Zumba classes at a brand new gym where I did not know anybody.
Maybe not a big thing but ... I’m feeling pretty good ... pretty empowered ... pretty full of life...
Hmm, maybe my new excitement and joy is spilling over into other areas of my life?
My life does seem better...

Do something to shake up your world and let me know how it feels.

With great love, Suzanne

Can you enjoy your journey?

What if we look at life as a journey ... a wonderful adventure?
Would we do things differently?
Would we look at everything differently?

My friend, Maria Tripaldi recently posted the following thought in Facebook:

“The journey has always been about laughing together, loving each other, seeking adventure, believing in our dreams and making a difference...but sometimes we forget.”

I like Maria’s adventurous journey.
Maria, I will try to always remember.
Love you.

PS. The beauty of the journey is that we each get to explore life in our own way and in our own directions – and we can change it at any time. What and where do you choose to explore?

Choose today

What will you choose to do with today?
It is always our choice what we do with every day.

Will you go to work? Then do it in joy because you chose to.
Will you be taking care of your children?
Will you be working out?
Whatever you choose to do...
Do it with joy because you chose to do it.

What we do with today is always our choice...
Even if we pretend it is not.

With great love, Suzanne

You are loved

You are loved.
You are.
You are loved unconditionally.
You are.
You are divinely loved.
You are.
By many, many, many.
You know it.
Instinctively you know it.
Are you feeling loved yet?
Envelop yourself in the feeling.
It is how you are supposed to feel.

End in mind

We can spend all our time reacting to everything going on in our life ...
Or we can choose to create what we desire to have happen in our life.

It’s not so complicated.
Visualize or write about what you desire for your life.
What is the end picture?
Get it to the point where you are excited.
Do you have it?

Now work/play your way back and purposefully choose the steps that will create it.
Choose to make order from what may seem like chaos.

Life won’t just happen to you anymore and on occasions where it feels like it does ...
You can make your own choices with your end in mind.

With great love, Suzanne

More happiness is ...

One can never have too many thoughts of happiness is ...... with their life.

Happiness is ... allowing myself quiet time to reflect.
Happiness is ... allowing myself to fully enjoy the beauty in each day.
Happiness is ... a swim in a cool pool on a hot day.
Happiness is ... a child’s arms around me.
Happiness is ... the hug of a good friend.

Now it is your turn.
Happiness is ...

Find the happiness’s in your life and celebrate them.

The power of one

The power of one is the power of ourselves.

We tend to look outside for our answers and our truths.

We must look inside.

The solutions, the answers ... we have it all.

We simply have to sit quietly and allow it, and accept it and trust it and know it is right.

We cannot decide what may be right for the whole world ...

But we certainly can know and trust that we know what is right for us.

With great love, Suzanne

Loving Life

Do you love life?
There is always something to love about life.
In fact I bet you can find many, many things.

Sometimes I want to focus on the little dot I find that is not to love.
And frankly that is just plain silly because it will become bigger with my focus wont it?

The question is where do you choose to place your focus?
A focus on loving life gets you more to love ...
That is where we want to be!

In fact it’s possible nothing else but what we love really matters.
Focus on what you love in life and life will focus on you with love.
Life can often surprise us with its simplicity.

Share love and appreciation

Share love and appreciation

You never know when someone’s last moments of life in this world are going to be.

How many people can you think of that are important to you and when was the last time you told them so? I hope you have told them recently and I hope you tell them a lot because it is important to them and you.

Let’s never miss an excuse to brighten someone’s day with love and appreciation.

Love and appreciation are meant to be shared - so let’s share some today.

It feels like a great way to live don’t you think?

With great love, Suzanne

Do you love you?

Do you love you?

Who is the most important person to love you?

You are the most important person.

So allow yourself to love yourself.

Go ahead and try it.

Forgive yourself for everything.

Come from your heart.

Enjoy yourself in the now.

Appreciate you.

Appreciate the good in your life.

Appreciate the fact that you deserve all that good stuff.

It is perfectly okay to feel love for yourself.

In fact it is very healthy.

What are you doing, thinking and saying these days?

Is it showing your love for yourself?

Go ahead and love yourself all day long.

It will make you feel very, very good...

And is there any better way to feel?

Keep on loving you.

We make our day great or not

What are your thoughts about today?
What is your expectation of this day?

Our thoughts and expectations have the power to make exactly what we desire or exactly what we don’t desire happen in our day. So what can we do?

We can start the morning thinking of the best.
We can continue the day looking for the best.
We can end the day giving thanks for the best.

And you thought anything was out of our control?
We make our great day or not.
Expect a great one!

I took a break

Haven’t heard from me in awhile huh?
I guess I needed a break.

My computer blew up and then I just didn’t feel like writing anything even though I could have found a way.

So as I always try to practice what I preach – I didn’t try to write anything.
Because what do I always say? Go with the flow.

Don’t try to push yourself in a direction you don’t want to go.
Life feels much better that way.

Now I’m back and I just might have something more to share with you tomorrow.
Until then don’t forget to enjoy life and take your breaks when you need to.

With great love, Suzanne

Gratitude

Gratitude gives us the basis for our life.
It costs nothing but means so much.
No matter where we are in our lives at any given moment …
Gratitude makes it better.

What are you grateful for right now, right this second?
It feels good to think about doesn’t it?
Our best lives flow from gratitude.

With great love, Suzanne
