An "Attitude of Gratitude"...

How important is it to keep positive in our every day lives, no matter what challenges may come our way?  More and more schools, businesses and organizations throughout the world are promoting the idea of taking our negative thoughts and emotions we carry, and changing them with positive energy and thoughts.

How many of us spend time in our days talking down to ourselves and justifying a reason to be negative about something we did or said?  The chatter in our head can effect our mental, emotional and even physical health.

An experiment to promote negativity and bullying was done by IKEA (Swedish furniture retailer) and the following comes from www.TheHealthEdge.com:

"If you don’t believe that negative talk – or self-talk – is damaging to health and psyche, check out this amazing experiment that Ikea dreamed up. For 30 days, two identical Dracaena plants were put on display at a school to demonstrate the effects of bullying words and vocal tones.

Both plants were played looped voice recordings but one received compliments and the other was verbally bullied with hateful words. The children took part in recording the compliments and negative words.

In only one month’s time, the complimented plant was thriving with vibrant colors – while the bullied plant withered and looked very dispirited indeed:

Words and deeds do impact us all constantly. Including the centering practice of meditation in your regular regime will lead you to self-love, appreciation of life’s gifts, and empathy toward other people’s problems."

Some may dispute this experiment (saying it's the decibel level of voices that may have affected the plants), but awareness of negative thoughts, bullying,  and changing that into the vibrancy of positive energy, is what we each need...for ourselves and one another!

Sending positive thoughts your way!

Whatever your day may have you face...

Lean on one another and call out to those who may have an extra hug, meal to share or a big shoulder to count on for support.

Our days can be easier when healing is done with one another.

We can do it together.

All the best,

Colleen :-)

It’s time — in fact, way past time — to have a serious look at the toxic influence of your home. Making sure the water, air, textiles, paints, cleaning products, EMFs (and more) aren’t adding to your toxic load is one of the MOST responsible things you can do for yourself and your family.

Learn to comprehensively (and easily, in many cases) address possible toxic sources, and turn your home into the “health haven” it is meant to be: preventative, restorative and calming!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN AT THE 
Toxic Home Transformation Summit:

• Do-it-yourself “green” cleaning methods
• Health-promoting (and inexpensive!) building and decorating materials
• Vibrational frequencies that harm (and heal!)
• The FACTS about detoxification (it’s important!)
• Real-life “home detox” tips from families who’ve done it
• And so much more!

• Hope you will take a look at it!

Take in all that counts...

What has your day looked like in regards to what has been important today?

What have you done for yourself?  What sparks your heart and makes you smile?

Remember to slow down and truly live.  Breathe.  Breathe deeply.  And soak in the life you have wanted for your mind, body and soul.

You deserve it!

The Peace of Wild Things...

By Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wishing you peace in all your days,

Colleen :-)
