Are You Living Your Life Like It's Golden?

It seems everyone I talk to these days is experiencing some bumps and bruises of life. While the economic downtu is causing widespread financial difficulties, fear is all around, and more and more people are searching for ways to get their lives in order and find peace. But know that what determines the outcome of your life is not what's happening around you but what's happening within you. I believe that all change, power, and solution comes from within you. The key to designing for success is to change the negatives and fears within you. So how do you change what’s within you?

Right Mind, Right Design

Most often at the onset of the spring and summer months with winter being behind, people generally are geared-up to get in the creative mode. The beginning of a new season in some way incites creativity and motivation for change. Included with the desire to change may arise enhancing our lives; more outside activities and the best vacation spots. Much the same comes about for the home. Refreshing and renewing worn places ranks high on our to-do list. For many of us, we seek to get our home in order and finally decorate those neglected and tough to tackle areas. Ready for a Change!

Life at Home: Where's the Hospitality in Entertaining?

Along with listing and writing Christmas cards is the list of guest we’re inviting over during the holidays. “Gee, this year the Butterfields and Hamburgs are coming. I must put my best foot forward. You know everyone will be talking about how lavishly I entertain my guest. Have to make a grand-slam first impression! Oh, I almost forgot; I must pick up those silver candlesticks at Bloomies while they’re on sale.” Wow. What happened to the hospitality in entertaining?

The Power of Decision

It's Spring! Generally in my neighborhood the walkers and joggers are out and about. This is a great neighborhood for outside exercise. But I must admit many days and throughout the summer I watch them from my office window thinking I have to get out there myself. Then I see all of the work I need to accomplish, and before you know it, another day has come and gone. And guess what. Seeing the forest and ignoring the trees, I hadn’t exercised. But yesterday was different. I made a decision of quality to begin brisk walking again.

Know The Unsighted Truth About Nutrition

Question: Are Nutritional Supplements Necessary For Healing And Health? Yes! A well controlled study performed at the Shriners Burn Trauma Center at the University of Cincinnati Medical School demonstrated conclusively, that burn trauma victims (children experiencing severe burns over 60% of their bodies) fared far better when given extra nutritional supplementation over and above the normal "well balanced diet" generally prescribed by practitioners.

Designing Life: One Layer at a Time

Lately I've been diligently thinking about making a conscious effort to think and say only the things I want to really show up in my life. It isn't a difficult process. Challenging, well perhaps. It's similar to replacing a recipe with a new one for a favorite dish that's been used all of my life. Here is how it is done: 1. Write it Down. It helps to write down all the "good and wonderful" things that are important to you. These are the things you aim to achieve in this life’s journey. 2. Add a Visual.

25+ Simple Touches for Selling Your Home

So you want to sell your home and get the best return on your investment? From my experiences, buyers are looking for a well maintained home. Studies have shown that most buyers make a decision about purchasing a house within 15 seconds of walking through the door. Many buyers have made a decision before getting out of the car! Your furniture and personal décor style are not important to a potential buyer. For that reason, home staging is on the rise.

Designing for the King -- Home Contents: Spiritual or Worldly?

… and do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live …rn —Ephesians 4:30 (nlt) The topic of health and the environment of our bodies gets big press today and rightfully so because our bodies are the temples of... the Holy Spirit.

What's Yours is Yours

This morning I received some news that left me feeling as if I’d been kicked in the stomach. Although a misunderstanding occurred, I didn’t know how to fix it. As a matter of fact, in my own strength I couldn’t fix it. I began praying about it and got the notion to call a partner ministry to pray the prayer of agreement with me. I knew what’s mine is mine. I share this with you because sometimes we take the circumstances of life as another bump in the road. We too often succumb to situations as if they are merely a part of living. A win some, lose some attitude.
