Today’s Mantra

Today’s Mantra is “Free Yourself”

This weekend the USA is celebrating the Fourth of July - Independence Day.

Start some fireworks!

Whoever you are, where ever you are,  start today, and “free yourself”.

Only you can “free yourself” from your “prison” in life.  No one else can.

So start now, free yourself, be independent!

AND SET OFF THE FIREWORKS!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Today’s Mantra is “Stop & Smell the Flowers”.

We need to take the time to just be still and “smell the flowers” of life.

We miss out on so much because we are so busy.

Tuesday Mantra was “Slow Down” and there was a photo of a Black-eyed Susan getting ready to bloom.

Here is what it looks like today!

But how many people would even notice that this flower even exist, let alone WATCH the progress it made!

Take the time to “Stop & Smell the Flowers” that the Universe has for you.   You’ll be surprised at what you really have!

Today’s Mantra is “Today is a Beautiful Day!”

Today I want you to say “Today is a Beautiful Day!”

No matter what kind of “mood” you woke up in, what problems you may face, say to yourself “Today is a Beautiful Day!”

Even if you don’t feel you mean it at first, keep repeating it!

You will soon find that “Today IS a Beautiful Day!”

Have a Beautiful Day!

Today’s Mantra is “Slow Down”.

Everyday most of us, if not all, hop out of bed and rush to get ready for work.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, rushing around like it’s the end of the world!

“Slow Down”!

Take a breather!

Do something that will recharge your “battery” (and I don’t mean coffee).

Take a few minutes to meditate, pray, or relax with your animals or loved ones!
(Fluffy and I have an agreement - She sits with me before and while I do the mantra, so I am not bouncing everywhere)

And take some advise from this flower.

It takes it’s time (sometimes days) to open into something beautiful for us to see!

Start today and “Slow Down“.  Things go a lot faster and easier if not rushed or forced.

Share with us how YOU “Slow Down“!

Today’s Mantra is “Miracles”

We all experience miracles, even though we may not recognize them.

It may be that you are missing someone, and the phone rings, it’s them!

You find something that is lost (or so you thought), and it reappears.

Have you ever seen a newborn kitten or puppy?

A baby bird learn to fly?

These miracles bring a smile to your face! and lighten your heart.

These flowers are called “Star of Bethlehem”.

And the neat miracle about this flower is that we actually got to watch it close in the evening!  I read that it opens at sunup, and closes at sundown.    So we wanted to see it happening in real time!   And we did.   What a small miracle to witness of mother nature!

Think about the last “miracle” you had and share it with someone!

Today’s Mantra is “Beating the Blahs”

We’ve all had one of “those days” now and again.  Even when we wake up to a beautiful day!

You don’t want to get out of bed in the morning, “because I have to do extra things today.”

You don’t want to get up and go to work, “my co-workers aggravate me right now.”

You really don’t want to “get that task done”.

Etc., Etc., Etc.

We are feeling “blah”, we have no energy to do the things we need to do, or should be doing, or want to do.

What shall we do?

Face it head on! Get up on your feet! Go for a walk!

Play your favorite song and sing along (or dance if you prefer).

Call up a friend who makes you laugh!

Anything to chase that old “blah” feeling away! You can do it!!

NO MORE “BLAH” DAY!

Start ridding your life of the “blahs” today!

Check out how a dear friend of mine, Joan Adams, suggests!

Beats the Blues!

and have a wonderful “blah-free” day!

Today’s Mantra is “Be YOU!”

“Be YOU!”

What do YOU want people to see in YOU?

Do you want them to see what you were in the past?

Or do you want them to see what you are becoming?

The past is gone. That is history.

You are evolving into something wonderful, and wouldn’t you love to have others see you NOW.

“Be YOU!”

When they hear your name, see your face, or meet you for the first time, wouldn’t you love them to reference what you are doing NOW, for the future?

Start today and “Be YOU!”

Today’s Mantra is “Notice”

How many “kool” things can you “notice” in one day?

Instead of hurriedly walking somewhere, take a little extra time, and “notice” what is going on around you.

You may see the first robin of this year.

You may see squirrel or chipmunk running around, happy that the weather is warmer.

You may see a butterfly that is like no other you saw before!

If you live near the ocean, you may even see a dolphin!

Or in the desert, you may see a roadrunner (fast little guys)

Look up!

“Notice” the pattern of the clouds!  Do you see any shape of animals like when we did when we were kids?

If it’s nighttime, you may even see a “falling star” and get to wish on it!

We recently camped at Ohiopyle Campgrounds and late one night we decided to take a walk under the stars!

I heard some water running, and the “nosey” person I am, flashlight in hand, I went to investigate!

This is what I found hanging around the storm drain!   He let me take his photo!  He trusted that I was not going to hurt him!

Take the time to “notice” today, and everyday!  And if you are able, get a photo!

Today’s Mantra is “Reflecting”

This one is worth repeating, because I have a surprise at the end!

Starting this week out, I want you to do some “reflecting” on what amazing things happened to you this past week.

What inspiration came to mind that totally transformed a project for you?

Did someone call you “out of the blue” that you wanted to share something with?

Did you have some extra unexpected time to spend with someone?

Here is a beautiful sunset we saw last night.  We had dinner with some very dear friends.  We decided to go to this little lake near our home.   This was the scene we saw, and it reminded me to do some “reflecting”.

About family, about friends, about loved ones, everything.  All the great things that happen and keep happening.

Share some of your “reflecting” moments with us!  We’d love to hear how blessed you are!

Now go to the link in my signature, there is a gift there for you!

Today’s Mantra is “Forgive Yourself”

We are taught to forgive others, but we need to learn to forgive ourselves too!

Sometimes we do things that hurt others, and they forgive us.

But you also need to “forgive yourself”. And even if they don’t, you still need to “forgive yourself”.

Sometimes we do things that hurt ourselves, and we need to forgive ourselves.

This helps clear you mind of the negativity that can ruin our day, week, year, our whole lives. And lift a burden you didn’t know was holding you down!

So today, “Forgive Yourself”!

See how much lighter you feel!
