‘Tis The Season to be Jolly falalalalalalalala
This is the time of year that everyone seems to enjoy the gift of GIVING!
There is just something magical about Christmas. I don’t know maybe it’s because we all revert back to our childhood when everything seemed so much easier and we were so much happier.
I think we could all take a few lessons from children.
You see children know the true meaning of manifestation…They know that if they want something bad enough and wish hard enough for it then that wish will somehow come true. Why do you think they have a wish-list and then send that list to Santa??? Because they know Santa delivers….all they had to do was ask and believe.
The funny part of that is….that we (as parents or adults) are the ones that told them that all they had to do was believe…….so what happened to us?? Why did we stop believing yet still tell our kids to believe?
When we become older our wants and wishes might have a tendency to become a little bigger and harder to get because we now have to WORK for the things we want and that takes the “magic” out of them.
It seems like when we become adults and stop believing in Santa then other things we believe in…such as ourselves…seem to just get harder. We begin to hear our parents say things like “DO you think money grows on trees?” or “If you want something bad enough you have to work for it”
Why do we have to make things harder?? Things shouldn’t be harder just because we are growing up. Maybe we should start thinking like a kid again.
We need to put the magic back into our lives and start dreaming again…..make life exciting again… Dare to Dream and Dream BIG! If you can believe it you can achieve it.
Never give up on your dreams….better yet never give up on yourself….you have the power to make it all happen. Don’t let anyone tell you that your dreams are stupid or unattainable because they are not! They are a part of who you are….special and magic.
Take time this Holiday Season to put the magic back in Christmas and back in your life. Make this a time of giving and gratitude and see the change it makes in you and those around you.
Giving doesn’t have to be hard or costly, it can be something as simple as a smile or lending a helping hand to someone in need.
Remember no matter how bad things in your life may seem, there is always someone out there worse off than you…So be grateful for what you have. Develop an attitude of gratitude and feel the magic begin to grow.
God Bless You and keep you safe as you celebrate this Holliday Season and don’t forget your wish list
;)
You are Awesome!

Did you get everything accomplished this year?? Did you follow through on all your New Year’s Resolutions? I know I didn’t…..because I didn’t make any lol.
I figure “why make a resolution and set myself up for disappointment?” lol Have you ever felt that way? How many people do you think manage to accomplish their resolution anyway?
Well I’m sure not many, and why do you think that is? I think it’s because they aren’t focused or truly committed to fulfilling the resolution in the first place. They just as well wish it.
If you really want to make a resolution then be committed to making it happen. Set a goal and get a clear vision of what it will be like “after” you have achieved it. Yes you read that right…”after” you have achieved it. Imagine that it has already happened, what’s it like? Is it everything you thought it would be? If the answer is yes then figure out how to get there and go for it!
Get excited about it. Tell someone you know so that they can hold you accountable for following through on your goal. It helps to have a support team because there may be time when you will feel like giving up and your team will help keep you on track.
Make sure your goal is attainable and that you are ready to do what it takes to make it happen. You can’t just say “I’m going to lose 40 pounds this year” and then sit around and eat everything in site or say “I’m going to be rich and famous” and then do nothing to move toward that goal, you have to have a plan.
Ok so are you ready to make this resolution a reality and make next year the best year ever? Then now is the time to get started. Get a clear vision in you mind of what you want and take the appropriate action to get you to your desired destination. You will be glad you did.
Don’t surrender Your Dreams….Surrender Your Control! You can do it!
You are Awesome!

I got some great news today, I think my dad is going to be ok!!! He went to the Dr. the first of the week for some test and at first they said they would have to do them over because they were inconclusive, but then later they said that they had several different Dr.’s or whatever look at the results and came to the conclusion that the growth that was in his heart was all but gone.
If that is true That’s GREAT News!!! That means that he won’t have to have the open heart surgery. WoooHooo
This has been a long battle for my family but the power of prayer is a miracle.
Situations like these make you realize just how precious life truly is and how quickly it can be taken away from you.
That’s why it is so important to live your life with a purpose! Believe in yourself and Never Give Up!
Life is too short to spend it or should I say waste it on things that have no purpose. Don’t live your life in the negative or in the past….it serves no purpose….you can’t change the past but you can design your future.
Live a life of Gratitude, be thankful for the things you have.
Just think about it, there are a lot of people worse off than you! Right?? Just think about what my dad has been going through. Can you imagine thinking that you were going to die or feeling bad enough that maybe you wish you could? I’m sure those thoughts crossed dad’s mind a time or two, yet he didn’t give up!
Never give up on yourself or on your dreams, Love your life and yourself and you will be the success that you were created to be!
You are Awesome!

Have you recovered from Thanksgiving yet? I ate way too much but it was absolutely a wonderful day.
The Greatest blessing of all was that my Father was home with us.
He has been in the hospital since September 10th and through the power of prayer they have released him on an out-patient basis where he has to still go to the hospital everyday for atibiotic treatments that take aprox. 90 min.
We are continueing to pray that the infection in his heart caused from the staph and the prolonged excessivly fast beating, will become responsive to the treatments and shrink away so they don’t have to do the open heart surgery.
The odds were great for surviving the surgery itself but if an infection sets in the artificial valve then there will be nothing they can do……not very good odds to go from 90 to nothing huh?
It was so nice that we all just spent the day visiting, taking a few pictures, laughing and just enjoying our time together…after all that’s what it really is all about right?
You Could Feel the Love!!!
I hope that you had a very special Thanksgiving as well and truly realize all that you really have to be thankful for. Life is way too precious to waste way on regrets and bad feelings.
Love yourself and then share that love with those around you…..you will be amaized at what can happen and how good everyone will feel.
I know this year is almost over so don’t look back to where you have been but keep looking forward to where you are going and create the life of your dreams.
It’s all about you!
You are Awesome!!!!
