- Claim the Blessings!

Claim the Blessings! - I thrilled at a talk I heard in church today, by one of my favorite speakers.  It really resonated with me.  I do believe that God wants to bless us and our families in so many ways -- He has all blessings right here for us, if we only step up and claim them!

Claim the Blessings of good health - by taking care of yourself! - We all know what we need to do: eat healthier, get more sleep, exercise....but many of us just don't step up and claim the blessings!

Claim the Blessings of Loving Relationships - by taking care of yourself, setting healthy limits and boundaries, seeking first to understand - then to be understood, hanging around good people who edify and bring out the best in us, and serving others!

Claim the Blessings of Prosperity and Wealth - by working an honest day's labor for an honest day's pay, Magnifying the talents and gifts God  has given  you, seeking out a good education, paying a full and honest tithe!

Claim the Blessings of a closer relationship with your Heavenly Father by attending your church meetings, temple, synagogue, read the scriptures EACH day, and spend some time on your knees in humble prayer.

I just loved the simple truths shared with my church group today! - So simple, and really, aren't the greatest things in our lives really simple - when you stop and think about it.  We are our own worst enemies and biggest stumbling blocks! - It's time we get out of our own way! - Help ourselves! - Love ourselves and look for the very best in ourselves and others!

We are all beautiful and whole and perfect  ... and that in no way means that we are the same or have equal circumstances in this life....but that we each have the right and the God-given ability to do our best in whatever situation we find ourselves, trusting that a loving Heavenly Father is watching over us and wants us to learn and grow and become our very best selves...and then help each other to do the same!

This is YOUR time to shine!  This will be your BEST year yet!

I believe in YOU and your greatness!!!

Love,

Preserving memories...

There is something about a photograph -- can bring us back to an earlier time, send a rush of emotions, and help us capture a moment in time, cataloging our lives and history.  I love how a good photographer can really bring out the best in us - capture us in our best light and personality, and even change how we feel about ourselves - making us feel more beautiful, more connected, more....lasting. 

I love creating and making wonderful memories with the people I love the very most!  Photos are such a great way to remember a time, a season in our lives, and the people we love so much.  And no one knows this more than someone who has had someone they love die and move on ahead.  After my brother died, those few photos and the sound of his voice preserved on someone's old camcorder were all we had left, and our memories.

In my years in the beauty industry and makeovers - I loved working with photographers to help 'capture' the new sense of beauty for my customers....it was a way to show my customers how much I appreciated them, and create some synergy with a complimentary business - a photographer.  I have worked with many, but I'm about to introduce you to my favorite - of all time photographer.


I think Jackie, owner of Jax Creations is such a magnificent photographer because she has such a depth to herself, and she brings in all she has when she is working with her clients.  Not only does she have a skill and talent, but she has such a depth of understanding...especially the mamma-heart and soul, that it really comes through her work as she brings into focus the BEAUTIFUL - in her subjects.

She has a beautiful bog-- check her out and keep creating and preserving beautiful memories!

Want something different out of life?!

So true.  You know, oftentimes we know we want something different! - Want to lose weight, start our own business, make our current business successful, find our true love..... but we keep eating the same junk foods, keep NOT working out, we say NO to a new opportunity, we continue to NOT make those calls and we don't get out and meet people.  

I think we all cognitively know that old saying: "You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result" - but when the rubber meets the pavement, we just aren't sure WHAT to do. - Or worse, we are to afraid to step into the unknown.  So, we stay in the same old patterns and then we start to soothe our disappointment with falsehoods to quell the desire still within us with words like: "I never wanted to move up anyway."  or "I can't sell and don't like salespeople."  or "I don't need a man/woman/relationship" or  "I need a steady paycheck" and "I'm not disciplined enough."

Well, keep telling yourself those things, and it will become your TRUTH!  It's time to fill your head with words that give birth to confidence, self-esteem, personal power, and love!!!  You see the subconscious can't tell truth from fiction -- it just operates like a computer - doing whatever you say!  So be careful what you are putting in that BEAUTIFUL head of yours!

We all have old tapes, and scripts that play.  Sometimes we can even hear the voice of someone from our past speaking doubt, fear, lack and limitation.  BUT, we all choose what radio station to tune into!!!  Be sure you are programming yourself for success.  TURN of the negative and replace it with POWER, Beauty, grace and POSSIBILITY!

I believe in you!
