Life Well Lived
I coincidentally read the spine of the Reader’s Digest (large print mind you) for the first time at the same time I was recalling how fantastic my life is and noticed the tagline for the magazine “Life Well Shared.” What an awesome way to mark our purpose in life – to share and share well. My life has been shared with people and animals who have enriched my soul, without which I would not be the woman of care that I am.

Are You An Action Addict?
It was tempting to write another title headline: Are You an Addict? I decided against it for it is not my intention to highlight the word addict; instead my intention is to inspire action. So, to be clear the word ACtIOn is the operative meaning. What does it mean to be an action addict? That is a curious question that deserves a ten minute time out. Maybe it would be helpful to think about the words separately and then create your own connotations.

Bliss Equals Joy
I just found two websites, serendipitously, while researching inner happiness for an article I am writing, and just had to share them with you: http://www.oneletterwords.com/bliss http://www.blissology.com Go to these websites and use the interactive compass tool to rate your level of bliss. I did it and my results affirmed my inner “bliss” but clued me in to an unclear professional “bliss” whenever I spun the wheel while concentrating on my work. I pledge to work on that until my bliss is congruent both inner and professionally.

Feminimity Is Back
Femininity is Back – I am woman! Femininity is more than the dress or skirt that ladies wear. It is more than the glamour she exudes. Female allure is more than hairstyle or body size. It is smartness which balances the inner and outward harmony.

Acceptance
There are times when you must say I accept – as it is. It does not matter what you nod your agreement of acceptance to, the pivot is that you simply accept. No valuation. No evaluation. No nothing, only acceptance. Acceptance, really of ALL things, is the staff of a happy, serene life. Grant yourself permission to accept the things you can or cannot change. The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr asks us to live one day at a time, to enjoy one moment at a time and to accept hardships as the pathway to peace.

Take the Risk
LeBron James, Mr. Millennium Basketball Star, is having his challenges with his current team the Miami Heat. I suspect that he knew challenges would come as he learned to gel with his new teammates this first year in Miami, but he risked it and left the Cleveland Cavilers with a smile.

Do You Care or Curse?
Do You Care or Curse? Ultimately, that is the choice we make with our feelings hundreds of times a day-care or curse? The difference between the two often means happiness inside or despotic misery. The choice is real, most of the time automatic and situational, but once you begin to pay attention to your feelings and thoughts you will begin to realize that yes you do make one of the choices.

Getting to NO
NO. One word, two letters often stop the faint minded right where they are and they give up often never to try again. What makes this scenario so damaging is that those around them hear the story over and over again as they repetitively re-play their NO and what happened and how unfair it was like a iPod stuck on repeat. That one red letter word, no, becomes the rationalized excuse over a lifetime for not getting to yes. Enough already-move on. “You’ll never see the great things ahead of you if you keep looking at the bad things behind you.” ~Alvin
