When You Do Foolish Things......

Do them with enthusiasm!!

(Taken from Suzy Toronto at www.suzytoronto.com)

"In our effort to masquerade as people who really have our acts together, goofs, blunders and faux pas often slip out. Sometimes these missteps are so unforgettable that they start to take on a life of their own.  We get our feet stuck so far in our mouths that the spectacle is simply hard to miss.

This is where laughing at ourselves becomes a lifesaving virtue....because when we embrace our mistakes and make the best of the situation, we can just move on. (After all, if there is going to be a big, goofy elephant in the room you might as well introduce her!)

So next time your inner "goofball" slips out,, muster up all the wild energy you possess, throw your arms in the air, and give the world a cross-eyed smile!

After all we may do foolish things...but at lease we do them with enthusiasm!"

Don't forget to acknowledge your blunders with loving thoughts towards those involved along the way. Forgive them and yourself and move on.

Here's to being human!

Planting seeds...

As warm weather touches some of us today, I glanced out into my garden of weeds and realized that not only do those need to be pulled, but seeds of growth and joy need to be planted.

We also can plant seeds of kindness, compassion, forgiveness and love within ourselves.  With these seeds planted in our hearts, we can then nurture the love we have sown as we relate to others. This in turn brings peace and further love to ourselves and helps us to forgive the hurts along the way, or in our past.

From today on, make a choice to look beyond the negative experiences and see Divine Love in all you do. And share your "bouquets" of love and kindness in each day with those who come to your mind and heart.

Wishing you sunshine and warmth,

Colleen :-)
