This last video is a 40 minute one, so I recommend, for those interested, to listen to this an hour or so before going to bed.  I found it very relaxing and soothing, which is why I decided to include it in this post.  Normally I post videos that are no more than 4 minutes in length, but I think this is amazing and definitely worth sharing!

When you let go of the desire to control everything, for a moment, you then really acquire control, because in that priceless moment, you experience a changeless peace, not dependent on any external conditions.

When someone says, "I don't want to burst your bubble, but..." it means they are about to try! People can have their negative opinions, but it's up to you if you let them bring you down.

One thing we know for sure, is that we all only have a limited number of days here on earth.  So each day we can either find something to complain about or something to be grateful for.  It's really up to us.

Focus on inner beauty.  People are not as beautiful as they look, they walk or they talk.  They are only as beautiful as they love, they care and they share.

Spend less time gossiping about problems and more time helping yourself and others solve them.

If you waste time today regretting what you should have done ten years ago, you'll end up ten years from now regretting the ten years you spent regretting what you should have done twenty years ago.  Start fresh today.  No more regrets from here on out.

What distracts us from happiness is the noise our mind makes.  Flowers, trees and animals are joyful and peaceful, because they are not distracted by trying to be something that they are not.  They are just being themselves.

Create a most delightful journey.  Treasure family. Aspire, inspire, share goodness.

Truly, deeply, embrance the love you are, so that each negative thought that comes to mind is dissolved by the warmth of your heart.

Tuesday Takes and What is Gimp?

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 

If you read my yesterday's post about my experience at camp as a child, I spoke about gimp.  Some of you asked what it was, so I will do my best to describe it. Perhaps it may be known by another name as well, but the only name I know for it is gimp.  It is (I think) a plastic material, it is long and thin, and comes in different colours.  You can weave it to make necklaces, bracelets and other things.  If you do a search in Google for IMAGES of "gimp bracelet" it will give you a visual idea of what it looks like.  

For those of you who may have missed my Monday post, I have a special post planned for Sunday, May 31st on relaxation.  :)

Never Give Up on Yourself

The only thing lacking in any situation is what you are not giving.

Sketches in Stillness

When you are sad or upset, always remember these points: Pain is part of growing.  Everything in life is temporary.  Worrying and complaining changes nothing.  Every little struggle is a step forward. Other people's negativity is not your problem.  What's meant to be will eventually, be.  The best thing you can do is to keep going.

Monday Picks and More About Myself

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 

Happy Memorial Day to all my U.S. friends!

When I was a child I went to summer camp.  Most children love camp but I didn't like it at all.  It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the country setting, the fresh air, the activities...it was the way I was treated.  I was treated badly by one of the counselors and some of the other children.  I was yelled at, called names, it was just a horrific experience for me.  I do have one fond memory of camp, and that was gimp.  Do any of you remember gimp?  You could make bracelets and necklaces, among other things with it.  Thanks for listening.  :)

This coming Sunday, May 31st, I am planning a blog post on relaxation.  Even though I try to put a little bit of everything in my posts, (laughter, positivity, soothing music, inspiration, etc.), I will be focusing on relaxation on that day.  :)

Acceptance isn't always easy, especially when something in your life isn't turning out like you hoped for.  However, learning to accept life as it comes, and practicing accepting yourself are you are; those are powerful tools toward a healthy, positive lifestyle.
