DISQUS

I am amazed at how Carrie answers the Daily is nearly exactly my own answer. Your answer today is my own feelings and thoughts, as was your answer yesterday with creating the house of my dream.

My auto coffee maker? LOL! I'm not much of a gadgeteer. but I am all about razor sharp knives, (and lots of very careful practice).

Impetuous, determined, youthful, fun

My childhood was the one you did not want to have. How ever, there was this story book I was given when I was 5, that I loved to read to my little sisters. Forty years later, one of my sisters found a reprint of that book and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. The memories of reading that story warm my heart and put a smile on my face.

I was one of the Tuff kids - S.E. Hinton style.

My grandmother Evelyn. She was angel even before she left this world. Her words to me have literally kept me moving forward in my life. She stil serves me with little things. My grandfather passed away this summer and as I was going through the file cabinet that as theirs and now mine, I found one of my grandmother's all occasion cards she kept handy. This one says "Thinking of you and wishing you well" on the outside; "You're often on my mind, especially when I know you're not feeling well... Please take care, and feel better soon" on the inside. The envelope is pink, the card is pink, I love pink! Two nights ago, as I lay in bed I suddenly could smell the scent of Dove soap - the pink colored bar, the one my grandmother used.

I also get to recognize my father and two sons who are Veterans and served to keep me free from tyrrany and terrorists.

Wandering around little shops in quaint towns. Wandering around quaint towns.

One of my sons is ADD. He can't even be still and quiet in his sleep. That isn't a joke. Since he was three, he has walked and talked in his sleep. When he is awake, he is non stop on the go. All I can say is thank goodness for computers, clay, prepackaged cookie dough, bicycles, roller blades and balls. There is hope. He is now a Medic and loves saving lives.

I love playing in the dirt via planting flowers, trees, and weeding the garden, and playing with my potted house plants. It's heavenly! Since I live in Central Texas Hill Country, we are still having daily high's of 80' plus weather, and over night lows are only in the mid 40's. I've got a limestone planter I am building. To me, this is all kinds of play and fun!

In the past I equated my value with what I am able to do, so really I was not valuing me, but rather my abilities and what I accomplished. Over the last 11 years I've had the opportunity to revise this thinking. My value, my self worth, now comes from the perspective "I am valuable because I am me." This gives far more meaning to anything I say, think, or do.

Good leadership creates an environment for the higher good of all he /she leads. By nature, this requires a leader to be intune with those who are led, often requiring sacrifice of ones own personal comfort, wants and aims. A good leader - a fabulous leader, knows that some times what is over all best for every one may not necessarily be the most favorable for a single individual or group, and chooses the whole rather than the part. This same leader also knows that what works for one can completely undo another but that also what lifts one will lift all. The best leadership is tolerant , patient, seeks wisdom from a higher source, and expects those whom are led to be self-principled, self-governed, and self-responsible. My grandmother taught this to me.

When I find myself dwelling on the past or wondering about tomorrow, the easiest thing I've found to do is toclose my eyes and breathe slowly, focusing on every breath. When I feel relaxed, I then intentionally focus on what I would most benefit me at that very moment. You've got to have a resource of mind shifters that can get you out of the negative and back into the positive; a personal deck of cards that's all Aces. I find repeating "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, happy and joyful" reminds me that all is well.

I agree. There is no ceiling to shatter. The only barriers and those we believe to exist. Believe something new

What is Conscious birthing?

Hey there! How are you?

Starting tomorrow a change is taking place in my life. That change is the beginning of some long awaited peace in my life. I know I will literally drive away in euphoria.

Worry about tomorrow.....

Gerbera Daisies and Zinnias Bright, colorful, lively with a touch of the unexpected! ;-)

Honest, straight forward, accepting and non-judgemental, caring, and empathetic. I am dependable and wouldn't think twice about doing what ever it takes to help a friend out who is in need. I am also smart, saavy and never allow people to walk on me or take advantage of me - I know a soap box story when I hear one.

Having three sisters who were models and two of them who won muiltiple Miss or Mrs, pageants, you would think I would at least care a little bit about fashion. If it is comfortable and I like the way I look and feel in it, then I buy it because then I will wear it. I really honestly do not care what any one else thinks. I believe in the rule of one in one out. I wanted a new pair of black pumps so I tossed the old ones and went searching for the perfect new pair.

definitely know that feeling......

The ability to create change. If I don't like it, I can do something about it!

You know, I don't have a wish that is secret, unless the giant vision board in my office is some how classified.

watch The Moses Code - claim oneness with all and with that feeling of oneness, feel love for all and state I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, happy and joyful. By elevating the self, you elevate the one, which we are all of.

Clouds. That was the first thing that came to my mind.
