On Selflessness

“Sometimes when you’re feeling helpless, the secret is to help someone else. 
Get out of your own head. Trust me. 
Next time someone asks for help, say, ‘Yes.’”

It's Never Too Late

1.13a.png

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, 
too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. 
We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. 
And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. 
I hope you meet people with a different point of view. 
I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, 
I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Last Quote of the Year 2019

12.30.png

"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. 
Only dreams give birth to change."
Sarah Ban Breathnach

Getting ready for the Word for the Year 2020 Project?
Perhaps Janus can help you choose one! See below!


janus.png
A fresh new year offers everyone the endless possibilities of positive change and new beginnings.  Perhaps Janus, the Roman god (after whom January is named) had two faces, can help. He presided over new beginnings as well as endings. He reminds us that we can successfully build a future with a reflective nod to the past. This can serve us well for our annual opportunity to start fresh with our word for the year!!!

So what will be your word for the year 2020??  Let me know!

 A smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment...  

12.16.png

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, 
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, 
or the smallest act of caring, 
all of which have the potential to turn a life around."     
Leo Buscaglia

What's your # 1 Intention for this Holiday Season?

12.9.png

"If you were going to make this the best holiday season ever, how would you do it? It won't happen for most people, because most people won't have that as their #1 intention.  And it's unlikely that you'll have the life-changing holidays that you could have if you don't create a powerful intent."

Finding Joy | Bringing Joy

12,2.png

“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death.
'When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions.
Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not.
‘Have you found joy in your life?’ ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’”  

Carter Chambers

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me,
 "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." 
To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and 
I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – 
so many caring people in this world.”
Mr. Rogers
