What Keeps Me Going

Not many more words are needed. I was sent here to be the light for others. This is why I get out of bed each and every day! You also have a life purpose and a special gift to give away! It's your time to shine!

Living a Long Life

Finished another book this past week! 

The Blue Zones: 9 Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest. 




One of the best take aways! So simple! 


Kamada, 102 year old woman from Okinawa, "Beauty is within. It comes from not worrying so much about your own problems. Sometimes you can best take care of yourself by taking care of others. "Eat your vegetables, have a positive outlook, be kind to people, and smile."


Be Well!

 Jackie Edition:

 1. Smile. And Wave. At Everyone. This includes while you are driving. Maybe even honk at that cute guy or girl jogging! :-)

 2. Send a random card out of the blue to thank someone for all they have done for you and being a part of your life. (Not an Ecard; an actual snail mail card!) (Make a homemade card; that will mean even more!)

 3. Call them. Not text. CALL. It always feels great to hear my family or friend's voice! Sometimes just hearing my Mom's voice will calm me down. AND actually listen to them. Let them do the talking! 

 4. Let someone go in front of you. In line at the grocery store, at the bank, at a stop sign, at the gas station, and hold the door for them! (manners-use them)  

 5. Send a thoughtful gift out of the blue or if you know what your coworker likes in the morning at Starbucks buy them their speciality while you pick up yours! (send a dozen homemade cookies to a friend, a gift card, cooking class, movie or concert tickets, or color a picture)

 6. Hugs- give them out freely. ( I am known to do this-watch out!)

 7. Give genuine compliments all day long. I feel as though people are in such competition with each other that these fall by the wayside frequently!

 8. Put random messages around your home for your loved ones. I have done this quite a bit for my parents, husband, and sister. I used to write "I love you" and other things in lipstick on the bathroom mirror for my ex-husband. He loved it! Or do this for strangers: Operation Beautiful

 9.Volunteer your time. To a cause, person, business, or organization. You have specific God-given skills no one else does. Share them with others! Help others succeed! 
Spread joy wherever you go! You have a light within you! RADIATE!  :-)
Be Well!

Hope

Last night at church the sermon was about choosing happiness and finding your life purpose- right up my alley!  One of our purposes as Christians is to lead people to Christ. I just wanted to thank Michael White for taking a chance on me 4 years ago and inviting me to Eagle Brook Church - SLP. This is one of the reasons I am still alive today and able to help others! It just takes one person to start a movement and one small step in the right direction to change your whole life around!
