Dedication:  To commit, pledge, or bind to a cause or goal.

Re-dedication is often done when a commitment has been broken, a path has been blurred, or a goal has been missed.

Entering into any commitment or re-dedication should always involve a focused intention of what you're committing to.  What are the steps involved and boundary lines so that you don't miss the goal.

Going into a new commitment or pledge is basically clearing the slate and seeking a "Fresh Start". By taking a moment to look at what went wrong, prepares us for letting go of the old.  Letting go of the old will allow us, with clarity, embrace the new,

Where do you turn when you discover you've been deceived?

When you trusted a person, group, cause or even elected officials who said they have your best interest in mind - only to find out the only interest they had in mind was "self interest"

I know it's painful to realize that you were deceived.  You placed your trust in another, and they told you lies.

When this happens, there's a few things I think you should keep in mind

1)  You're not broken, and you will recover

2)  It is far better to know the truth, no matter how painful, than to keep living in a deceitful system.

3)  By working with the truth, you can move forward on solid ground and make logical plans.

4)  By seeing through the illusion, the only thing you really lost....is the Illusion!

Don't look outwards to others....look inwards for your truth.  Does this feel true, or false.  We were created with far more abilities than we are using.  So look inside for your truth, your dreams, and your plans.

Perception is a funny thing, you can have a glass of water filled half way.  Some people will see it as half full, while others will see it as half empty!

Whatever people perceive and believe, will become their reality.

The people who view things negatively, will blame other, blame the environment, or blame the world for their lack.  Yet in truth, it is 100% on how they perceive what is happening to them.

When things become confusing, focus ALL of your attention on your DESIRED outcome. Hold that desired outcome in your thoughts and in your heart!  Hold it steady!  FOCUS on it!

Allow your body to relax into that pictured outcome.

Hold It.....Relax into it

That's how you control your life.

Moment by moment you are creating your tomorrow.

Fear Not.  Focus on your Desires.

Wherever your Focus Goes....Energy Flows!

We are fully in Spring and the evidence of new growth is everywhere.  A New Season!

Some people go through the house doing their spring cleaning. Others go through the garden and clear out the old to make room for the new growth.

How about you?  Are there old things, habits, or beliefs you need to clear out and let go of?  Have you made room to welcome new dream and desires?

You are the designer of your life. 

Live with Passion.  Live on Purpose!

Every 24 hours begins a new day.

A day to try a new adventures. 

Make plans.  Change plans. 

Change the way you look at things.

Start new friendships.  End unhealthy relationships.

Appreciate things that are going well in your life, and changing the ones that aren't.

Notice and appreciate one new discovery about yourself.

WE ARE CREATING SOMETHING NEW EVERY 24 HOURS.

Did you ever give a thought to where April Fool's Day came from?

Actually the first day of the calendar year was always April 1st, just after the Spring Equinox.  In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII started the Gregorian Calendar.  This calendar switched the first day of the calendar from April 1st to January1st.

This was quickly adopted by much of the Catholics, but not by the Protestants within Europe.

People who were resistant to embrace this new calendar change became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called "April Fool's".

Random acts of kindness are unselfish, unexpected gestures intended to make someones life easier, or the world a better place.

Simple acts, like volunteering, paying for the person's order behind you, giving a person a compliment, or even hold the door open for a stranger.

While these kind actions feel good to both the giver and the receiver, what most people don't realize are the residual benefits.

Acts of kindness not only boosts happiness, reduces stress, strengthen community bonds, but as a bonus, it has an affects your brain's chemistry.  These kind actions releases dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin in the person's brain of the Giver, the Receiver, AND anyone that Witness the action.

Now that's what I call, an Influencer!

Remember when things used to be simple?

Just because we're adults now, with responsibilities, doesn't mean we have to be stuck in the challenging part of life.  Actually, it's quite the opposite!  The more challenging life is, the more we need those refreshing breaks of sitting in nature and laughing.

If we don't have some resemblance of balance, then we really aren't any good to anyone!

Make a list of things you enjoy doing.  Make sure it offers a variety of time duration and cost.  Some days you'll be able to take a full day, while other days you might only have 15 - 20 minutes.

It doesn't have to be elaborate, it just needs to be a regular practice of feeding your soul some joy.

This is a powerful tool to teach your children.  Teaching by example is always the best way.

Make life worth living!!
