We promise you Dear One, that no matter what is going on in your life, that no matter what is going on within you and around you, that the second that you choose to put a smile on your face – the kind that blossoms in your heart, and grows and grows, and grows, up, and up, and up, until it pushes up the corners of your lips – things will start changing for the better.
You’ve got nothing to lose.
Why not give it a try?
Your body is talking to you all the time Dear One.
Make a point of listening to it today, trusting its wisdom, and taking action on its behalf.
Do this and you will start to feel a whole lot better, a whole lot faster, then if you continue ignoring its cries.
If someone that you love Dear One, is not living up to your expectations of them, instead of being disappointed, instead of trying to change them, instead of trying to fix them, instead of trying to force yourself to stop loving them in order to put an end to your unhappiness, why not simply change your expectation of them instead?
Now, wouldn’t that be easier?
There are few things in this world that are worse for you Dear One, that hold more potential for disaster, then moving forward in fear, then doing something that you truly don’t believe that you are capable of doing, then doing something that you are afraid to do, that you don’t want to do, that you believe is going to harm you.
And accepting your fears as reality, allowing them to define you, to restrict you, to tie you up and chain you down to one place, to one mindset, to one set of limiting beliefs, for the rest of your natural born life, is one of them.
Don’t miss them Dear One.
Close your eyes, open your heart and connect with them instead.

I specifically chose to re-post this one as a reminder just for me today.
Happy Birthday my Dear Sweet Rebecca.
Loving you today and everyday, with my whole heart wide open, just like you taught me to.
When everyone around you seems to be doing a lot of pushing and shoving Dear One, trying to keep up, trying to get ahead, trying to win, here is what you should do to make sure that they do not get the jump on you: Step aside.
Let those pushing, push along without you. – – Let those shoving, shove right by.
Believe us when we tell you, that you do not want to go where they are going.
The best way to get more of what you do want Dear One, is to give none of your attention to that which you do not want.
Do you want to make a difference today Dear One? Do you want to do something significant, something that really matters?
Take really, really, really, good care of yourself
The best way to take care of your heart Dear One, to strengthen it, and protect it, is to open it, trust it, and use it, as often as you possibly can.
Closing it off, shutting it down, or trying to shelter it from unwanted feelings will only serve to weaken it in the end, cutting you off from your source, leaving you far more vulnerable to hurt, deception, and negativity, than you would be otherwise.
So the next time you are in a situation where you feel like your heart needs protecting, remember, there is only one thing that you need to do; open it wider.
You try , you think about, you make every effort to watch what you eat Dear One, to exercise, to get enough sleep.
You do all of these things for the benefit of your health, for the benefit of your body.
And yet you still allow yourself to think, to indulge, to swim in negative, damaging, and unkind thoughts, about yourself, about others, about the world around you, all the time.
Your thoughts have just as much of an impact on your physical body as your diet, activity level, and sleep habits do.
Even more so actually.
Just a little reminder Dear One, not to leave them out of the equation, when trying to create good health for yourself.
