Feeling Blessed





I received this drawing from an amazing woman I met a few years ago. She comes to most of my Self Love Sister's Meetup Group events and now I proudly call her my friend! She completed a project for me I have been dreading (imputing hundreds of contacts and email addresses into my Constant Contact Database) and hid this picture inside the folder. Needless to say once I found it I was instantly in tears! I never equated sheets of names and email address to all the lives I've changed! Proof that what we do for others and how we treat them DOES indeed make an impact! How we approach those around us is vital to leaving our footprint in the world --which reminds me of a quote I love from Maya Angelou:

Takeaway: I know I've said this before but I'm going to say it again. Do your part. Spread joy not hate. Treat others how you would want to be treated. Leave a POSITIVE legacy behind you when you go! #bethelight

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!

Jackie- Uncensored

I keep seeing these types of posts on Facebook so I thought I would give you the chance to get to know me on a deeper level! LOL! 

 10 Things You May Not Know About Me:

 1. I'm crafty and creative- I love art; all kinds! I make up-cycled jewelry to wear and to sell.  I usually make homemade gifts and when I get creative it looks like Martha Stewart threw up all over! LOL! That is the only time you will see a mess; otherwise I am an OCD neat freak! I fluff the pillows on the couch in my office after my clients leave...
Here is my pumpkin I painted for Halloween! And I'm in the process of making a holiday decoration to hang on the wall behind my desk. 


2. I am afraid of drains... any type and size... bathroom, kitchen, swimming pools, you name it! My younger brother got his toe caught in the baby pool drain when we were little and I have been scared to death of them ever since! 
3.When I get excited I start talking really, really loud! And I have a unique laugh that everyone notices! I was very shy when I was a little girl. I sat with my older brother on the bus so this one girl would not pull my hair and make me cry! I was a mommy’s girl and didn't even like staying at my grandparent’s house. Now you can’t get me to shut up! :) I have become quite the people person! Making up for all those years I was quiet! 


 4. I like driving 4-wheelers, any type of ATV, jet skis, snowmobiles, golf carts, and etc . I am kind of a psycho and people do not like to ride with me! :) I would like to drive a race car before I die!  I am a bad driver.. have gotten 8 speeding tickets, 3 warnings, ticket for failure to stop at a stop sign, and got one  a few years ago before Christmas because I "turned left onto Lyndale Ave between 7 and 9 AM." It was 8:50 am… a TRAP! I also got a ticket on my bicycle in Minneapolis that is now on my driving record... (this story is really funny! Ask me about it!!) I have gotten 7 flat tires in my life total! STUPID CAR! HA! :) 
5.I read all of the time. I get my love of books from my MOM! :) 




6.My weakness is chocolate covered nuts- peanuts or almonds!
7. I want to have kids someday, but am deathly scared to gain all that weight. (because of my past eating disorder) I always thought it would be fun to be pregnant the same time as one of my friends. Kind of like Father of the Bride 2.. Twins also run in my family.
8. I wake up every day with the mission that I am changing and saving lives. That is my purpose for getting out of bed. My favorite thing to do is make people smile with random texts and photos!


9. I have been so broke that I had to pawn off some of my belongings to pay my rent. 
10. I'm also a part time model. When I first moved to Minneapolis  I decided to dabble in this and have loved it ever since! I have done the most random gigs- pillow infomercial, liquor and beer promotions, bodypainting, model for bear scent, clothing photoshoots, runway shows, hair shows, and anything crazy you can think of I have probably done it! 


Don't judge after you read this! LOL! I just wanted you to know I am a human being also! Plenty of flaws and imperfections, but that is what makes us all VIP's! ;-) 

 Be Well!

Your Story-We all Have One



 
We all have stories. Some of the most successful people in the world have gone through hell and back but they haven't let their misfortunes crush them! That's the difference! I'm honest with my clients and the people around me because I want them to know we have similar struggles. I'm not a super human. Don't judge people or be jealous. Many times you have no idea what their past has been like! We all are capable of greatness. Created to serve others and have a unique purpose in life. Don't forget your smile at home today. People made need yours to ignite their life!
