First things first….purge those old files and unsubscribe from email lists.  Remember to simplify and unclutter so you can make room for the new.  I started my day by eliminating two dozen email subscriptions and every time I was tempted to just have a peak I refrained.  Then I turned to my files and it felt great to do the big file dump, if you know what I mean.  I then went to my day planner and started to tick off all the things that I had accomplished.  IT FELT GREAT.

Got up today full of life.  Not sure who or what flipped the switch to ON but it has been a great day.  My hunch is that I worked on forgiving myself and did exercises to help process this.  Much to my delight my creativity sprang forth and I hand painted 10 Christmas cards.  That felt great.  I also did a Christmas craft to give to my pals.  Perhaps it was the positive frequency of giving that flipped my switch.  To top off this great day I won $21.00.  Yahoo.  AND the best

And the war goes on, despite everything I know my inner child won in search of comfort after an 18 hour grueling day yesterday.  I was up at 6:30 to catch the ferry over to the main land for my beautiful cousins celebration of life.  I had the courage to get up and speak in front over 200 people.  The whole day was walk, talk, walk and talk.  Finally arrived home at midnight.  This morning woke up with a huge hunger.  So instead of wrestling with the sugar bear I chose passio

Show the love to yourself.  You are important and your health and happiness depend on your responsibility to take care of yourself.  Give yourself permission to take time to assess your needs.  Have you even taken the time to know what your needs are?  You are an expert at caring for the needs of others but if you have depleted your compassionate deposits it is you who will pay the price within the quality of your life. Love does heal, love fosters connections and love breeds
