Simplify....

S I M P L I F Y..........ahhhh.........
Slow down,
Imagine doing less,
Make time for loved ones,
Practice patience,
Learn to gently say no,
Increase your quiet time,
Follow your heart,
Yield to Life, Yield to Peace, Yield to Joy....

Inhale Beauty today!

Inhale Beauty today - have you ever thought about how to do that?


First, sit down in a comfy place, relax your mind and body and think about the most beautiful place you have ever seen........do you that image in your mind?  Now, take in a deep breath to the count of 5, then, exhale to the count of five.  Try this five times in a row........ahhh.........feel better?  


Try to focus on beauty today - even if it is raining outside!  Look out the window and watch the raindrops fall on your window pane......what do you see? Is the sun trying to peek out from behind a cloud?  It is there even though we cannot see it today!  Are you feeling kind of cloudy inside?  If so, imagine the most beautiful sunset you can, then imagine just sitting enjoying the warm glow of the sunshine........take five deep breaths again and inhale beauty as often as you can remember to do so!


There are so many wonderful and beautiful things all around us if we will only open our eyes, our minds and our hearts to see it!


Look for beauty today everywhere you go!!!
