Today’s message is in honor of my dear friend Kare…you will be missed and your joyful energy and the message you demonstrated with your entire being will live on. It was her life’s mission to remind us all that JOY IS OUR NATURAL STATE.

We can self sabotage by gathering evidence from our experiences to the contrary, and then allow it to become habitual by fueling it. Collectively we have been experiencing a scary, every changing and uncertain world. When this goes on long enough, we can start to believe that we have lost our joy.

Reminding you today, that you can never lose your joy, you can bury it, but it is always there waiting for you to ‘remember’. Let go of the outside and feel your natural joy-filled inside. Let your inner child out to play, he/she has been waiting long enough.

Find all the ways to remember your joy today.

The word ‘Mistake’ carries a lot of baggage and goes deep into our psyche. We play a lot of mind games with it and it chips away at our self confidence. Sometimes the fear of making a mistake keeps us stuck. We can be so hard on ourselves, beating ourself up for what is or was essentially a choice.

Reminding you today, of a new perspective surrounding what you perceive as a mistake. There are no mistakes, only lessons. You learned from it and did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time. Let go of it. A mistake is only a choice you made and you can make a new choice based on who and what you know now.

We have the power of choice, and that feels better, right?

Complaining doesn’t change anything – it actually puts a focus on what you don’t like or want. We all engage in it from time to time, kind of a venting thing, but there’s no productivity in complaining, no solution, no moving forward. All that moaning and groaning changes nothing and can keep us stuck.

Reminding you today, to keep the energy moving, stay in the flow of being pro-active, problem solving and with solutions. Communication and positive thoughts are not only inclusive but create change, growth and opportunity.

Independent – to be free from outside control, not influenced or affected by others or depending on anything outside of yourself for emotional happiness. Continuing to hold on to resentments or hurts is allowing things ‘outside’ to harness our true potential.

Reminding you today, to be guided by who you are, not what others put upon you. You are in control of your inner freedom.

Here’s a great quote from the dynamic Tina Turner that fits perfectly today: “Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything…whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”

Love it! By letting go you take your power back and have the unbridled freedom to BE.

We were born in astounding perfection. As a child we had an innate trust and belief in ourselves, guided by instinct and an insatiable curiosity of what we could do next. We didn’t know we couldn’t do anything, so we – tried – everything from the innocence of what could be.

We didn’t start comparing ourselves until we began being around others outside of our nucleus family. In comparing, we started a new internal dialogue and gave away our power of our trust of self, (Are they better or do they know more?).

Reminding you today, to release any judgment of self and explore all of your diversities. There is no comparison because there is only one you! Reinforce your self trust in the knowing you are so many beautiful, wonderful things, defined ONLY by what you give yourself permission to explore and ultimately believe. Trust everything you are.

Such inspiration from today’s quote. A new day and 1,440 minutes to decide where our attention goes and how we are going to make an impact on ourselves and those around us. Every thought we have has an affect on us and every action or re-action has an impact on others.

Reminding you today, of this mindful thinking and the power you have to decide who you want to be. Think of all of the opportunities you have each day to be kind, encourage, inspire, compliment, help, hug and love, all while joyfully smiling, knowing the affect you have by just being YOU.

Do we KNOW the truth about ourselves? The truth is that we are connected to the infinite wisdom of the Universe. Are we listening? Are we trusting it? We are part of it and it is part of us. Are we standing in the power of our truth and challenging the random negative thoughts that pop up trying to tell us otherwise?

Reminding you today, to trust your inner brilliance, your purity, and your innocence.  Hush the confusion and practice tuning your instrument (your mind & body) in the silent connection with nature to allow and explore the place of knowing what the truth is for you.

There is an unbridled confidence and extraordinary peace when you trust yourself and know the truth of your magnificence.

What you feel inside is what you experience outside.
