I am promoting creativity, style, and purpose today. Below are two exquisite abstracts recently painted by creative and talented artist Anthony J. Parise from Los Angeles, CA. Of course, the photographs do not do justice to these two pieces. If you’re interested in his artwork, please get in touch with me.
I am sharing another quote from well-known spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson. When you notice something specific about someone, then it must be within you; otherwise, how would you see it?
Today is 11/11. Many people have been seeing the number 1111 everywhere, and I am included. I get a good feeling when I see this number, because I believe it’s a sign of a spiritual awakening. A shift is happening in the world of increased awareness, and it is changing for the better.
Why are we so hard on ourselves? Sometimes we treat other people better than we treat ourselves. At times, we may feel we’re not good enough. We need to focus on progression instead of perfection. Accept yourself, be kind and gentle with yourself, lift yourself up, respect yourself, believe in yourself, encourage yourself, be grateful for yourself, and love yourself!
Spread your light all over the place. There are many people who are struggling with life. Reach out to them, offer your support, be the inspiration for them. They may need a little encouragement, and it might be just enough to make a huge impact in their lives. I am where I am today from being inspired and motivated by many wonderful people. Be the positive influence for someone today and keep the ripple effect going!
Yaay! This free 21-day meditation experience, Energy of Attraction, begins today offered by Ms. Oprah Winfrey and Mr. Deepak Chopra. So far, I have completed four of their other 21-day meditation courses available, and I can honestly say, I’ve learned so much about manifesting the best life ever. Here is the link to sign up:
I love to laugh! Did you ever laugh so long and hard that you forgot what you were laughing about in the first place? Kids are so amusing. My three-year-old grandson says and does the funniest things. He sure does brighten my day when we’re together. My favorite movies to see are comedies. The next time you are feeling down, go see a funny movie. Laughter is truly the best medicine for the mind, body, and soul!

Everyone has a story to tell. What you have done, where you have been, where you want to go, etc. Have you experienced a life-changing event? Did you lose a loved one? Are you divorced? All of our decisions have brought us to this point in life. We survived and we are all okay, because I’m typing these words and you’re reading them. Our experiences made us who we are today. Maybe it’s time to write a new story and make it a good one!
The most important time in your life is the present moment. It’s what you are doing right here right now in this moment and every moment in life. The past is gone. You made memories and some were good but some were not-so-good. Cherish the good and erase the not-so-good. Don’t dwell on the past and what you should have done. There is nothing you can do about the past. I’ve heard so many people say I wish I knew back then what I know now. Okay now is here and your chance to shine. This is your moment. Three is no need to worry about what lies ahead of you and what ‘might’ happen. You will only be wasting valuable time. Yes, you can make plans and establish goals for the future, but you do that in the present moment. Focus on the here and the now. It’s where you need to be all the time.
