This Famous Surfing Dog Rides the Wave to Helping Others
Mom Creates 'Chemo Ducks' to Help Kids Feel Safe During Treatment
Reitmans - Date Night (I have shared a few of the Reitmans TV commercials in the past, because I love the humour in them. Reitmans is a Canadian ladies' clothing retailer). Enjoy! :)

Today I wake up with a grateful heart. Count my blessings. Help someone in need. Share kindness. Let go of what I can't control. I'm grateful.
Think about what could go right.
Let's rainbow this moment. It's not like we have forever. - Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel
Beauty starts in your head, not in your mirror.
Two simple principles for a happy life: use things, not people. Love people, not things.
There is so much clutter in our live, so many to-do lists, so many tasks! Try to simplify a little, unclutter inside and out. Make space to breathe and to be with yourself with nothing to think about for a moment.
View your life with 'kindsight'. Stop beating yourself up about things from the past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, "What was I thinking?" breathe and ask the kinder question, "What was I learning?"
At your absolute best, you still won't be good enough for the wrong person. At your worse, you'll still be worth it to the right person.
You are more than the mistakes you've made. You are the wisdom, love, strength and compassion you've gained from all you've been through.
True story - as time passes, you'll not only be able to see a growth opportunity in whatever is stressing you out right now, you'll also be able to find a bit of humor in it all.
Stop being so tough on yourself.
Even the tiniest ray of hope is a very powerful thing.
Helping children feel safe during treatments is such an important thing! Great to be reminded of what wondrous people are out there.

Surfing dogs are new to me. I do love those ducks for the kids, though. Cancer patients need all the help they can get. The Reitman's commercial is a fun experience and your posters along with Raphael's art made my day. Merci beaucoup !
ReplyDeleteBeing in Metro Detroit, we can tune into Windsor TV and radio stations...I may do it, just to get those Reitman's commercials!
ReplyDeleteThat surfing dog is really awesome!
ReplyDeleteLinda, Love that Reitman's ad! Creative and funny... Most retailers wouldn't take the risk involved and that's a shame. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Hi Linda! I watched the Reitman's commercial, and it brought a smile to my face :) I love the meme's about being positive instead of always thinking about what could go wrong. I need to be reminded of that a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
