It just takes one person to make a difference in someone's life.
Why not each of us?
Reaching out to those who need it most,

Keep your mind open to being creative....
Our minds can be open to anything as long as we believe in ourselves and live without fear.
What can you do to open your mind to being creative as possible?
Currently, how do you use your mind? Maybe these are some ways:
* To make decisions
* To inform, teach, share
* To absorb further learning
* To keep track of dates, events, appointments
* To stay healthy
With the above, creativity can develop when we expand on what we learn and experience.
How would you like to use your mind better? Maybe for the following:
* To see things clearer and know what you would like for yourself and others around you
* To reassure yourself that everything will be okay and share your knowledge with others
* To gain more pleasure from reading, the arts, and share that with your community
* To be more creative in ________ (you add what you would like to do)
As an exercise and an example, choose one of your senses to expand upon and get creative.
First, how do you use this sense daily? (I will use Taste as the example)
* For survival and to keep my health up
* To make sure I get the nutrients I need
* To eat a limited diet for health reasons
But how could you use this sense better with your creative mind?
* For pleasure and to enjoy tastes that I have not experienced through new recipes
* To share these new foods with others and cook them together with friends, family, etc.
* To get a better sense of eating healthy, that is also creative and varies tastes and meals
Try this with your other senses on different days and start getting more creative with your daily experiences!
Have fun!

Heavy Sighs...
We often will hold in those things that bother us throughout our day. Keeping emotions inside and not venting, nor releasing these stressors or irritants, can effect our health and our thoughts.
However, in Qigong, it is encouraged that we actually let out heavy sighs during our days, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth and making a noise to go with it (moaning, grunting, soft sighs, etc. with whatever feels good and comfortable for you)
This release lets us "empty" our bodies of the emotional toxins we keep in and you are encouraged to do this 10 -15 times a day along your daily routine.
Give it a try and you will begin to see the difference in your body (less tension and possibly aches) and your mind will start to feel clearer as well. Another way of taking care of yourself with your own energy.
Happy Sighing!

Planting Seeds of Greatness in Others...
By Joel Osteen:
"Very often, we see potential in other people that they can't see in themselves. When you speak vision into them, when you tell them what they can become, you can help set the direction for their life. Your words have the power to push people into their divine destiny.
I believe that the reason some people are not living at their full potential is because no one has ever spoken faith into them. No one has taken the time to say, 'Hey, you're great at this. You've got a gift here. You're going to do something amazing.'
I believe that one of our assignments in life is to call out the seeds of greatness in other people. Look around at who God has placed in your life. They're not there by accident. Take time to study them. See what they're good at. What are their gifts? What do they excel at? Don't just think about it, speak vision into them.
Tell them what they can become. Let your encouragement ignite greatness on the inside. Help them rise up in confidence so they can be all God has called them to be!"
We are all born with the ability to change someone's life, so take the opportunity to do so now!

Warning on Sprouts' Organic Flaxseed...
This is not something I usually would post, but just the other day I purchased this product and when I went to use it I happened to see the warning on it. I was shocked to see this on a food product!
I brought it back to Sprouts and the manager had no idea what chemical could possibly be in there, especially since this is labeled "organic." She was going to research it further.
This is a good lesson for all of us to read the labels extra carefully.
Wishing you a happy and healthy day!

Recharging your kidneys....
What is one thing we can't live without? You may have thought water, food, etc.
But truly, one thing we can't go without for longer than possibly a few minutes, is oxygen.
And our kidneys contain cells that produce oxygen for our red blood cells (along with producing the hormone EPO. Once made, EPO acts on red blood cells to protect them from destruction).
In Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the Root of Life and contain storage cells for longevity, resilience and health, including our energy levels.
So how can we recharge our kidneys every day?
There is a deep breathing exercise that anyone can do, any where, each day that will bring in more oxygen to the kidneys and here are the steps:
1. Through your nose, breathe in your deepest breath. Fill your chest cavity and with this your spine will straighten and fill even more.
2. From this breath, as you stretch your chest area and back with this new fresh air, now continue to fill your belly area beneath the belly button. Let the air expand your stomach area. In turn this expands your lower back.
3. Breathe out from your nose so that this healing, healthy air stays within you, emptying out the air from your belly area once again.
4. Repeat several times.
This recharging exercise can be done throughout your days and is a healthy benefit for everyone!
Happy deep breathing!

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time....
-Bertrand Russell
Colleen :-)
-Bertrand Russell
Whatever it may be that makes you happy, relaxed and gives you time to catch your breath, enjoy it! So many times we think we are not being productive and are wasting time because we didn't get one more thing done on our forever "to do" list.
But how precious is our time......too precious not to enjoy putting our feet up, taking a long, warm bath, sitting at the beach and just staring at the horizon to daydream, calling a friend to just laugh an hour away, napping in the afternoon, and so much more.
Enjoy your days with relaxation intertwined in each of them!
With my feet up and sun shining on my back,
Colleen :-)

Love Heals Us All...
Healing.
I relax into the infinite stream of divine life, and I am healed.
(taken from the Daily Word for today)
Healing.
I relax into the infinite stream of divine life, and I am healed.
There is a universal flow of wholeness, an inexhaustible and irrevocable stream of life, in which I live, move, and have my being. As I close my eyes and relax into the remembrance of this Truth, I feel the sweet ecstasy of bathing in divine love.
The indwelling Presence of God is my true identity. As waves of well-being gently wash over me, they draw out any anxiety, sadness, fear, and all beliefs in lack and limitation that have been cluttering my perception. My mind and heart are restored to the awareness of divine life.
Love heals.
Love frees me from any suffering that I might have been experiencing in mind, body, or spirit. Love restores me to a deep faith in God’s infinite presence, power, and peace. Resting in Love’s curative, life-giving waters, I am refreshed and revitalized.
I am healed.
With love,
Colleen :-)

The Simplest....
Colleen :-)
...most ordinary things make life extraordinary!!
In helping and healing, take time to enjoy all the moments of your life, with gratitude and love.
Bring laughter, music, nature and everything that makes you smile & glow into your life.
Extend it to others through prayers, support, calls, emails, etc. so that we all stay connected.
Love is all there is.
In peace,
Colleen :-)

So few words....
With tragedy coming so very close this week (a very young friend of a friend is gone), it is an overwhelming feeling for all of us to think we are on a planet of beauty and love at this time.
But our hearts always remain with one another no matter what we may go through and more than ever, it is up to us to reach out to help in any way, with anyone, who may need our support, near or far.
With the pain our country and communities are experiencing, may you and your families be safe. May you find peace in much of the kindness that truly continues to surround us in all our blessings.
With Light and love,
Colleen :-)
