Today's Words of Inspiration - Change Your Reflection!

What is your reflection saying at this moment?

Unfortunately, mine would be the reflection of my computer monitor. And that's NOT good. I've spent way too many hours burning the proverbial 'candle at both ends' lately. (and by lately I mean this entire past 12 months!) So I've decided it's time to change the reflection!

I always find peace, tranquility and harmony near the ocean, a day spent at the beach (for some reason particularly in the Caribbean) is a day spent soothing my soul. And as my soul could use some soothing, I'm off to the beach! (no, unfortunately, not in the Caribbean this time! Somewhere way closer to home!)

Is there somewhere you can go this weekend to change your reflection? To bring a better image into view?

While I do beleive we can also blind ourselves with what we choose to NOT allow ourselves to see, the things that we choose to see and to fill our waking moments with are equally as important. It's easy to find ways to change our literal reflection, new wardrobe, new haircut, new makeup palette, but it's the internal reflection that shapes the external one. Take some time this weekend to change the internal reflection, to see something that makes you happy on the inside so you can then bring forth something beautiful on the outside!

NOTE: I am OFF to take a bit of my own advice! There will  be delay in entry approval/processing this weekend. You do NOT have to put in your comments over again. You do not have to email us. Entries will all be approved before business day close on Tuesday, June 8th.

I hope you all take some time this weekend to allow yourselves to see and then reflect something beautiful!

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration and a butterfly giveaway!

WHO DO YOU KNOW?

How has the week been treating you so far? Yesterday was an exciting day here, we announced the two winners of our Tres Sleek Giveaway! I hope you took a moment to say congratulations to them both on the winner announcement thread! There is a surprise coming up real soon, so if you didn't win this time around, don't fret my butterflies, there is still hope on the horizon.

This past weekend taught me the value of the expression, 'it's not what you know, it's WHO you know.' It truly proved to be true for me this weekend and made me think profoundly on my 'who's'.

It made me realize the importance of those people in my life who I can count on. Who do you know? How well do you really know them? We often-times take the people in our lives for granted until we need them. That isn't fair to them or you. Have you lost touch with someone you now miss? It's never too late! Depending on how many 'who's' you have, this may not be feasible to do all in one day, but today, this week, this month, reach out to everyone you know. Just say hi. Remind them you are thinking of them. Call them. Email them. Pick up the lost art of letter writing and write to your 'who's'. Take time to reach out to those you hold most dear to you. Tell everyone in your house that you love them. Give them a hug. It will make their day brighter, and your life richer.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I appreciate all my 'who's'!

Let these words put you in a mindset of appreciation for all the wonderful people who are a part of your life. Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different!
