MONTH OF MAY GLOBAL LOVE CELEBRATION



The official Global Love Day is celebrated on May 1st every year. But as we all know Love is not just for a day. Love is eternal.  Marking May 1st as the official celebration of Global Love is just the beginning.  If you missed the official celebration of global love on May 1st don't let that be an excuse  to not make today the beginning of your celebration of global love.  Beginning today right this moment you can begin the practice of unconditional love and pass it on.  It begins with you and is as easy as making the decision right now to first open your mind and your heart to the spirit of  love. Allow yourself to be open to the spirit within you that will show or give some sign of  love every day.  if we open ourselves to it.  It begins with one single individual filled with the spirit and that individual could be you  who just by one single act of love allowed the spirit of love to flow from yourself out to the next and they passed it on to the next and the next until the spirit of love bcomes global.  Think on  'giving' rather than receiving.

 Did you know 'gratitude can change things'?  Yes, gratitude has been discovered by many to have amazing power.  It can shift your daily focus.  November has been designated as

This is the season of resurrection.  Just as  the signs of new life, as in the changes of season, that are appearing all around are beginning to show, so too now is a good time  to allow the good seeds that have been planted within all of us to blossom.  Just as Mother Nature is revealing her new life for all to see its a good time for us to do the same. Just as nature  allows the darkness and dead of winter to pass away so too we should attempt to let new life blossom within us.  Let the light, 'your' light that is within you shine forth.
Searching within yourself may be necessary to find it,  but once found your efforts will gain you great reward as well as allow you the opportunity  to positively affect and  inspire others to do the same.  A priceless asset  that  can't be bought and which can give happiness, peace, balance.  All rewards that can be gained if you just....

HOLIDAY CHEER..GETTING AND KEEPING IT

http://www.clker.com/cliparts/u/F/v/2/t/9/gift-box-md.png
www.clker.com/


"The Holidays" are here ushering in  the season of goodwill and holiday cheer.  A time of giving and receiving.  Holiday cheer a time to be glad,  a time to be festive and  joyous.  Living with and maintaining holiday cheer is not always easy especially during these times we are currently living.  But it is a state of being we should all strive to reside in. A mood, a way of thinking to practice daily throughout the day.  Notice the word "practice" because gaining and especially maintaining joy and  gladness is not a quality that always comes naturally during the course of every day living.

We may not all have the means to give the tangible gifts that have become synonymous with the Christmas season but we all have an innate ability to give the intangible gifts of the season -joy, peace, hope, love, forgiveness,  goodwill, all of which give and spread 'Holiday 'Cheer.


 Here are a few thoughts to remember to help you get and maintain your true sense of the meaning and spirit of the season.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Heard Steve Harvey say:  "Fill your day with positivity".  When you have an idea think of How it can work not on how it won't work. Focus on How You Can make it work.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

CHANGE YOUR FOCUS THROUGH GRATITUDE

GIVE
Thank You, Letters, Thank You Very Much

We are approaching the half-way point of fall, that is Autumn, the season of change.  The signs are all around us including the change in Mother Nature's color palette.   The fresh, renewing colors of green have been replaced with the burst of bright yellow, red, and orange energy.  Just as there are signs that the season is changing, gratitude can be a sign that we too are changing too.

When we focus on being grateful we enter a process of change.  Gratitude changes our focus, it changes our mindset, gratitude changes our life.  When we become thankful for the things we have, however small or meager, our thankfulness changes a negative into a positive.  And being and staying positive is one of the first steps to inner growth and life improvement we all desire.


Below are some thank you gratitude  affirmations to help motivate, inspire, and lift your spirit to help make your world and space in it a better place.
