Monday, September 14, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration and TWO giveaways!


14th Annual Fordham Rennaissance Festival

Many Ascending Butterfly readers wondered why there was no moment of gratitude yesterday, and it was because I was out following my own advice about spending more time outdoors. I attended a local 'renaissance' festival, it wasn't exactly like the 'period' type one you see advertised sometimes on TV. This is more of a renaissance and transition of a neighborhood. Our local business district turned into a very large street fair that offered live concerts, food, vendors, face painting, rides and more. I have been enjoying attending this event annually. The highlight was 'jewelry hopping' and I had the chance to meet many jewelers. There is something wonderful about hand crafted jewelry and meeting the artists behind the work that is always such a treat for me. Such creative people, with wonderful vision and truly inspiring pieces!

Meeting such wonderful, creative, and talented people, most certainly left me inspired again. (which was great because I recently had the displeasure of encountering a jewelry designer so disgusting of spirit that it truly soured me completely on the process!) I am an aspiring jewelery designer myself, so the afternoon was spent doing research, disguised as shopping! :-)

Soon the leaves will turn, the air will become crisper and days that can be spent outdoors will soon become a distant memory until spring. I'm glad I spent some time outdoors soaking up one of the last few all sunny days. Make it a point to get outdoors these next few weeks during your lunch hour and squeeze every last drop out of mother nature before it gets to rainy, cold or 'snowy' to do so.

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 will enjoy and make the most of the fall season.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about amazing, profound and powerful changes in 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.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.
