Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did.
Know when to let go and when to hold on tight.
Stop rushing.
Don't be intimidated to say it like it is.
Stop apologizing all the time.
Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.
Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down.
Stop giving your power away.
Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting.
Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it.
Finally, know who you are.
Good stuff right there from Kristin Armstrong.
Good stuff!

A Little Retail Therapy
You!
You are so special!
You are spectacular!
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything
that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
If you aren't being treated with love and respect,
check your price tag.
Maybe you've marked yourself down.
It's YOU
who tells people what your worth is.
Get off the clearance rack!
Get behind the glass where the valuables belong!
Sparkle!
Shine!
Glow!

In honor . . .
To honor the passing of the incredible Nelson Mandela, I will use one of his quotes today.
It is one of my favorites and something I believe in strongly.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid,
but he who conquers that fear.
In fact, I was speaking with a good friend last night who sent me a great little snippet that I will also add to this:
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Today, as Mandela lived every day, let us seek and practice peace.

Four Rules I Live By
1. Learn to love without condition.
2. Talk without bad intention.
3. Give without any reason.
4. And most of all, care for people without any expectation.

Peace
Peace on Earth! Good will toward Man!
I really should not have to elaborate a whole lot, but it would seem in this 'I want it NOW' society, we've sort of displaced this notion. The fist fights for big screens, the stealing of Salvation Army buckets, the 'discussions' of nativity displays.
People . . . did we lose sight of what this holiday is about?
Remember the Reason for the Season.
Show a little compassion, a little understanding, a little good will.
Peace!

Twinkling
I literally spent all day yesterday cleaning my house and then Christmas-izing my house.
Nearly every room is touched with some sort of seasonal surprise and hubby even put Christmas music on the TV for me so I could dance and sing all day.
Every year, I find just the greatest joys in unwrapping each packed Santa or Angel or snowman or Snowbaby or whatever might come from the crates. Each item draws with it the memory of who gave it to me or where I got it from.
These are not just items placed randomly about my house.
They are memories - twinkling - for the whole month for me to share the holidays with those who offered a piece of themselves in each gift I received.
Hubby was so excited when he got home that he went straight to the garage and grabbed the outside lights. He climbed up on the room, in the dark, and we lit up the night.
Each light - twinkling - in the darkness. Each light offering a glimmer of the Reason for the Season and each light a reminder of every blessing we have shared. It's very bright over here.
And, in that cold, clear night, all those stars - twinkling.
Some say those stars are just those that have gone on before us - lighting the way for others and giving us hope of a brighter tomorrow.
Oh - it's the holiday for twinkling!

The stage is yours
Your worth
is not a product of your intelligence,
your talent,
your looks,
or how much you have accomplished.
It is, instead, measured by what you do
with that intelligence,
that talent,
those looks,
and what you have accomplished.
To help another human being
is one of the grandest acts you could ever perform.
