Confidence comes from Knowledge and a sense of Self-Worth.

Good Cheer comes from Self-Worth and a Positive Attitude.

Enthusiasm comes from Self-Worth, a Positive Attitude and a Thirst for Knowledge.

Success comes from all of the above plus Willingness and Spirit.

Where do all these abstract states stem from?

The Inner Sanctum.

Do everything with JOY today… Have the intention to move with purpose, to act with goodness, to think positively, to speak carefully, to write with care and to create an authentic life.

Even though your energy may be low today, circumstances may be upsetting or disruptive and people dismiss or perplex you, make the best of it, tread consciously and you will get through this.

I know this to be true even when I am feeling blue because…

Successful, happy people who are always striving to reach their highest potential are like beams of light and attract an abundance of wealth, health and friends. They manifest positive outcomes and they live from a place of joy. They keep moving forward with confidence, determination and hope, no matter what. They re-invent, re-ignite and re-claim themselves. They empower, embolden and embrace others. They don’t limit themselves.

Successful, happy people are grateful, creative and energetic. They glow from the inside. They soar with compliments, ideas and encouragement. They generate higher wavelengths of vibration in a room. They know about potential, productivity and results. They know how to ask for help, bring in the right people and the value of collaborating. They use varied sources.

Successful, happy people visualize and realize balance in their lives. They nurture deep, personal relationships and weave harmonious souls into their textured lives. They cordially bow out of situations, occasions and events that may sap their energy, unless it benefits a loved one. They are balanced, centered and know how to revitalize when needed. They remember to breathe profoundly into their lives and exhale with gratitude.

This is an aspiration. By affirming you are already this person, you become it.

After an emotional, intense and grief filled weekend, we are picking up pieces and moving forward. I am sure in different ways and at separate times we will all experience moments of sadness and melancholy.

Service for Nana was beautiful, simple and true. Her two sons spoke and our daughter V and nephew F also eloquently and authentically spoke with candor. In their own way, everyone rose to the occasion.

My cup does truly runneth over.

Intend to awaken with positive energy. Project your goal to do the highest good today and be Peace. Remember that Love is at the Center of all things.

Love is what we need in order to survive and evolve as a species; in order to protect our habitat and in order to respect Mother Earth and its creatures.

Love is what drives, motivates and inspires inventions, the arts and leaps of knowledge. It is what tames anger, fear and insecurities.

Evaluate the importance of having the intention to love and nurture yourself, first. From there you will be balanced enough to create loving boundaries for yourself –  for having none helps no one. When you allow anyone to treat you poorly, you are both not serving your higher purpose or honoring your highest selves.

Love is what transmutes, transforms and evolves everything to a higher level.

Love IS the missing link; it is the spark of creation, it is where everything good and right manifests from.

Who do you guide in this lifetime and whom do you follow?

What stages of life have changed you and which ones have easily shifted you to a whole new level?

What gives meaning and purpose to your existence?

How do you interact, teach and speak to others?

Which tools and techniques are you willing to share and which do you feel possessive of?

What would you like validated and by whom?

Who reminds you of yourself?

When you encourage others or create anything, what is your motive and what is your inspiration?

What do you look forward to and what would you like to forget about?

Answering these questions is an eye opener and an exercise in introspection.

Instead of working tirelessly, maybe work diligently. Think about your vision, acknowledge your success and make your life your vocation.

Help others and see yourself as helped. It takes a generous, big-hearted person to volunteer but it takes a humble person to accept, and a gracious person to do both willingly and with gratitude.

There is no right way or wrong turn – There is only very me and authentic you. There is no better or worse for everyone. There’s only what fits for me and what works for you.

Thank all the people whom have supported, encouraged and lifted you.

Apologize to all the people you wish you could make amends to.

For there is but a short visit to this planet, before our timed departure.
