Today a child is born. Today a person transitions. Today a couple gets married. Today a marriage ends in divorce. Today a person receives a promotion at work. Today a person becomes unemployed. Today a person is given a clean bill of health. Today a person is told they have a terminal illness. Today a person receives great news. Today a person learns of a tragedy.

Today, whether you are celebrating life, or in a moment of sadness, you are not alone. Whether you are overcome by overwhelming happiness or sadness, there are others out their sharing in their own happiness or sadness, you are not alone. Whatever feeling you have at this very moment is shared and hopefully by knowing that, the happiness will be heightened and the sadness will be lessened.

Affirmation: I give and receive support easily

For the next week, I invite you to feel the oneness by:

Appreciating what you have in your life while seeing the appreciation in others

Loving you, others, and the world

Being grateful for this very moment whether it be happiness or sadness as you are a part of a collective feeling and at any moment can choose to reach for a better feeling…yes, happiness can be even happier

Mostly, my wish for you is to feel supported regardless of the experience by knowing you aren’t the only one. Know that others out there, even if you don’t personally know them, feel as you do. Know it ok to reach out when you are feeling alone. Know that YOU are an amazing person filled with love, laughter, and happiness whether you sit solo or in a stadium filled with 60,000 other people.

Until next time, know you are a shared experience bringing your unique twist to it.

Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.

It had to be you: Through you, I saw what grace and gratitude looked and felt like. For that I thank you.

It had to be you: You allowed me to experience forgiveness by creating a situation in which I needed to forgive you and to forgive myself. For that I thank you.

It had to be you: You brought such joy to my life and opened my eyes to new adventures and journeys that I might have missed out on if not for you. For that I thank you.

It had to be you: You are the purest example of love of self, love of others, and love of life. For that I thank you.

I invite each of you to look at all of your relationships in your life and see the key roles they play. Each person whether it’s a loving relationship or someone you are at odds with (or perhaps choose to hate) are part of your life to allow you to live, love, and grow.

Affirmation: I am surrounded by loving relationships.

“He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love.”  ~ Martin Luther King

“Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.”  ~ Gary Zukav

For the next week, I invite you to see the importance of all your relationships by seeing through the eyes of:Forgiveness: When you are able to see with forgiving eyes, you move through conflict, hurt feelings, and resentment while inviting in a state of peace and allowing.

Appreciation: When you are able to appreciate everyone in your life for who they are and not who you want them to be, your relationships become gentle and relaxing.

Love: When you see through the eyes of love and can look into a person’s heart rather than their ego, life becomes a fun playground that is filled with people and events that you couldn’t have dreamt of had you not chosen to look at life through loving eyes.

Mostly, my wish for you is to see all of your relationships as part of your journey in becoming who you are today. Whether it was a loving experience or a contrasting experience, you grew with it, learned from it, laughed at it, and continued to love.

Until next time, thank you for being YOU!

Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.

Today I will be aware of my feelings and take ownership of them. Rather than seeing others as making me happy, mad, or sad, I will see my own power in them and see that I I have a choice in how to feel regardless of the circumstances. By feeling good the majority of the time, where I once flew, I can now soar.
