Trick or Treats,,,,,,,, Pass the Candy

Happy Halloween. Trick or Treat. Tonight was a perfect setting. The wind howling, the fullish moon shining behind clouds sweeping swiftly in the sky. The sounds of laughter and screams running down the street. It is the biggest day of the year for ghost, goblins, and witches and of course the biggest candy day for the year. (next to Valentines Day but who is counting). But have you noticed how much chocolate cost this week? $7 for a bag. Geez. Go to any store in 2 days and it will be much cheaper. (Note to self, get candy earlier next year).

I love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday of the year. Truly! I wish everyday were Halloween. Free Candy! It is also the only day of the year where you get to be anyone you want and no one passes judgement. It is the day creativity soars, imagination flies and chocolate is found in every household. I love dressing up. I have had some creative costumes in my day. I was Miss Piggy, Princess Leia, a Troll, to name a few. I currently have a hot Mermaid costume and of course a Fairy costume.

I actually bought candy this year. Normally, I would not have. I have not been home for Halloween in the past few years, so I did not know what the turnout would be. I was so excited. I bought Mini Reeses and a mix of Twix, Milky Way, Snickers and Three Musketeers minis. I waited excitedly with my candy in the bowl for the door to ring. At 6:35 the door rang and I hobbled off the couch and there was spider man, the grim reaper, a cat and a princess waiting for their chocolate goodies. And that was it. No More. Nada.

What happened to the hordes of goblins begging for chocolate? I remember going from like 4 pm until 9 ish, and sometimes would even change costumes and go back out for another round. It was a BIG DEAL. Of Course, I had enough candy for a month minimum! That is after getting rid of the yucky stuff I didn't like.

Well now I have a lot of candy to finish off not that I mind but it definitely makes my quest to cut sugar a more difficult one.

But going back to being anyone you want. Why do you have to wait for one day a year to be who you want. Be it now. I mean, I love bringing Mermaid Magic and Fairy Sparkles to my day to day life. Life is about being who you are. Every moment. It is who you are. Why wait till one day a year where you spend months or at least days planning a costume that will bring laughter as well as chills. Not saying dress up all year. But be who you are. Be who you wish to be all year. You are who you are. You don't need a holiday to be someone. You just have to create it.

Have fun with it. Dare to be someone remarkable.

Dream your Dreams

Remember when you were 5, the moon was possible. You could be an astronaut one minute and then a fire woman (or man) the next. You were going to be a big rock singer, a movie star, a teacher or whatever. Remember all the goals you had, the dreams you had, the ways you wanted to make a difference.

Remember describing your ideal house, job, where you would go on vacation, all that good stuff.

What happened to them? Did they fall by the wayside? Are they stored under the bed or in the closet with all your other childhood memories.

My guess, is you got caught up in the drift of life and stopped creating the dreams, the goals, the visions, the things you wanted. I know I wanted to be an astronaut and some boy said when I was 5, " you can't be an astronaut, you are a girl" And Whapah! There you have it. Your dream is gone! Like the wind!

So now, no better time than ever, it is time to revisit your dreams, goals and visions and the things you want in life. Some may have been childhood fantasies and others may be dreams that are still deep with in your core. Those are the ones I am talking about. The dreams that you still say "one day" or that still gets you happy when you think of it. The one day is now!

Having had Melanoma a few times, I got really clear. NOW is the time to live your life. NOW. Not next year, not next month, start living now.

Your dreams happen when you create them. YOU CREATE them. Spend some time with your self, creating, revisiting and living your dreams. If you can see it (dream it, visualize it), then you can move it. If you can move it, (actions) then you can make it happen.

Live regret free. Your dreams are yours to live. Live them now.

Time to make your dreams a reality. Dream on...........

You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'

Dancing on the skinny branches of life. Stepping out, take a risk. That is what it is all about. If you were to have everything happened with ease, life would be boring. You would be bored. You would. If life were predictable, you would be bored.

By putting yourself out there, life becomes exciting. That means to take a risk. Ooooooooh scary. What if I fail, what if the branch breaks, what if I look bad............ What if, what if , what if! If you lived in the world of 'what if' then you would always be wondering what if rather than what could be? Yes, there is a difference. What could be creates a whole world of unlimited possibilities. What if, leaves you in a fearful place from the past. It is an avoidance of doing something wrong, making a mistake, or taking a risk because of 'what if' it doesn't work out.

What if Aliens or giant tomatoes take over the planet? What if we get eaten by man eating plants? That is as absurd as What if he doesn't like me? Well, what if he does!

Unless you step out onto the skinny branches, you will never know. The branch may break, you may stumble but then you catch on to another branch. If you happen to fall, you get back up, brush your pants off and try again.

Life is an adventure. Not a safe haven. Live Life Now.

Come on Indiana Jones and go forth and live adventurously. Yee Haa.

F is for Forgiveness

I heard this today on TV and was reminded of this. (Since I am home recovering, I am watching way too much tv. More tv in the last week than the last 6 months put together, but that is another topic).

Forgiveness, it is not for the person, country or situation that you are forgiving, but for YOU. YES YOU! You are the one harboring feelings, resentments and regrets. If you are waiting for someone to apologize so YOU can forgive them, they never will. You have to let go. Harboring upset, anger and resentments, create Dis-ease and dis-harmony in your life and your body. It is a proven fact. (I am living proof) When you hold on to things, it builds as energy in your body, mind and spirit causing dis-ease and dis-harmony.

When you can let it go, then and only then you have freedom, power and peace of mind. The more you forgive, the more you can live in harmony instead of dis-harmony. When you forgive someone or yourself, (YOURSELF IS ALWAYS HARDER BUT THE MOST REWARDING) you are free from the chains that bind you. Forgiveness is for you. It is a gift you give yourself,

Accepting love and contribution is for them. In fact when you forgive, you are able to give and receive love and contribution at a whole new level. When you forgive, even if you never speak to them again, you have a ton of weight lifted off you.

Hey, this age defying process is cheaper than any that you will buy in the store and it works instantaneously. Try it today, free.

Free Samples of Forgiveness.......... Try it then get it in Bulk.......

Just goes to show, you are only as young as the weight lifted off you. Forgiveness, priceless......

Let Yourself Be Loved

Letting love in is not the easiest thing to do. I have just had surgery and am home recuperating. The surgery went fine. The harder part is letting people love and take care of me.

While I know people do love me, letting them take care of me is a whole different story. For instance, my father stayed with me until yesterday and my step mother came yesterday afternoon after my father left to help quicken my recovery. She has been amazing, cooking my favorite foods, helping me do what I need to do to get around the house. She even bought a new mattress, her insistence, so I can rest better. I fought tooth and nail to not receive a new mattress but she insisted.

Now it may be the pain pills talking or my lack of being able to be in control but why would anyone turn down a brand new mattress (FREE) unless they were out of their right mind. After arguing, I caved in and let her get the new mattress. She is so happy. I am sure i will be too after I sleep on it.

I have people wanting to come see me, cook for me, even pamper my cat for me. It is great feeling loved but not so easy to let the love in.

The thing that is the most important is letting people love you and letting them in. It is for THEM not YOU. The more you let people contribute, the happier they are. You think that it is for you, but it is for them. Just like you like feeling appreciated, so does everyone else.

Next time someone wants to love you, let them. You may feel awkward but in the end you are actually contributing to them more than you know and that is the best gift you can give.

Don't be selfish, let the love flow. You will be glad you did.

You Can Do It...... You Can Do It

Yes you can. And That is That! I feel like one of those 60's super moms with her arms up showing some muscle saying that but that is the truth. You can do anything. Yes anything. The more you say you can, you will.

It is like this, if you say you can or you say you can't, either way YOU ARE RIGHT! Now I know how much you love being right, all humans do, but now you get to say what you are going to be right about. Look at all the times you use "can't" as an excuse. Daily. Numerous Times.

Well, what if you started replacing 'Can't' with 'CAN', see what would happen. Now, it doesn't mean become a YESSIR person, (A YESSIR person is a southern term for someone who says yes to any and everything), But to not use can't as an excuse for you not to live, be or have the life you want. YES YOU CAN! YES YOU CAN!

Remember the 10 most powerful words in the English Language are "If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me!" there is no can't in that.

A mantra my mom used to tell me- Can't never could until could would. Meaning how do you know if you can or you can't until you do it.

Food for thought- do one thing that you thought until this moment you could not do, and see what happens. Whether it is walk a mile, not eat sugar, ask someone out, ask for a raise what ever. DO one thing you thought you couldn't do. You will either do it and be pleasantly surprised, or you will not succeed but you will have taken action. And if at first you don't succeed, do it again. It is about going beyond your cant's and having your can's.

The dance of the day is of all things CAN CAN. See it is everywhere!

Go forth and turn your can't to can's.

Here Chicky Chicky

Chicken soup may be good for the soul but it is not so good when you are on a liquid diet. Yes. Liquid Diet. Whoever invented a liquid diet should be shot. This is not a diet by choice but by necessity as I am having surgery (minor procedure) in the morrow. So not only do I only get clear liquids up till midnight tonight, but I don't have surgery until around 1 pm. Don't they know I am hungry?????

It seems that if someone were having surgery in the afternoon, they would lift some of the stipulations some. I mean, jeez, I can only have clear liquids all day, can't eat after midnight, and I have surgery at 1pm meaning I can't eat all day. What were they thinking???????

So I am already looking forward to a nice steak dinner after my surgery. Can taste it.

So, when you are eating your delicious meals tonight, enjoy them! Savor each moment.

I am making a list of yummy foods to eat after during my recovery.

So when they said Chicken Soup for the soul, was not on a liquid diet.

Cheers!

The Gripping Sound of Fear

Fear. False Evidence Appearing Real. That is the best way to sum it up. Now it doesn't make you feel better when you are experiencing fear, but it can give you a new perspective the more you practice it.

If you can really get that fear is false evidence appearing real, then you have alot more freedom to take risks, to live the life of your dreams, and to make things happen.

Fear feeds the ego and then the ego runs full force. When the ego is running, you can not create. All that is there are the reasons why you can't do, be or have something. Ego is your worst enemy. It will always tell you something is not possible and it will always be there but you can gain dominion over it.

Being unstoppable, unreasonable and fearless in the face of fear will have you leap forward in bounds. The more risk you take, the more you are fearless and the more you are unstoppable, then you can begin to put the ego at rest for a moment.

Face it. Fear is a part of life. It is going to surface at the most inopportune moments. There is nothing you can do about that. But you can go forth and move beyond it. Courage is having fear and acting anyway.

Fear is always going to creep in but you do not have to let it grip you like a constrictor. (Given Halloween is approaching, gripping fear is part of the fun)

So go forth, be fearless, footloose and fancy free. (how is that for a mouth full of "f" sounds) and have some fun while you are at it.........

Hiccups are not a bad thing..

A very wise person recently told me that "hiccups come without warning, strike with an abruptness that is jarring and uncomfortable, and before you can finish contemplating the fact of the surprise of it all, it's gone." How very very wise and very very true. No matter what area you are encountering a hiccup, whether actually physical or figuratively speaking, it is exactly how it happens.

Now in perspective of your life, your path, your finances, relationships etc, this is HUGE. From time to time, we come across hiccups in our life path that temporary provide stress, discomfort and confusion. Most of the time we get upset about the hiccups that have come over us, (striking without warning and with an abruptness that is jarring and uncomfortable and then it is gone) but like taking a spoonful of sugar, it goes away in a moment.

So when life has you frustrated with hiccups, know that it is only temporary and look for the bright side around the corner. Know that energy is always moving and therefore so will your hiccups. Before you can really dwell in why you have the hiccups, they will be gone.

And if that doesn't work, remember to take a spoon full of sugar........

Live Life-------- Be Strong---- WHOO YEA!

Today I went to the New Life Expo in NYC. It was an awesome, fun and lively experience. Given my upcoming surgery, I am open to any and all healing environments and situations.

I had samples of raw chocolate, many samples of super food in many and every forms, chocolate that makes you lose weight, alkalized water, and more. I had my feet ionized and detoxed and an infrared laser shot into my body. There were 30 psychics all begging and vowing that their psychic readings were life altering. (Except, they were not thrilled when I told them I also do readings.) There were crystals in every form you could imagine, crystals that sang, crystals that balanced negative energy, and of course there was 100 healers offering healing of every type.

Did you know that there are 6 million products out there that promise it is the only product you will ever need??????? That would cut back on a lot of shopping time and but would create a lot of useless energy spent on trying to figure out which one is the only one YOU need and why.

Who knew that super food came in so many varieties. Powder, Liquid, Nuts, Chocolate, Powdered Nuts and Chocolate, sprays, and more.

What was going to be a 2-3 hour journey, ended 8 hours later. I came home expo-ed out with many items that promised longevity, detoxification, and various types of healing.

I am now shielding radiation from my cell phone and sporting a pendant that shields radiation from your cell phone as well as drinking lavish alkalized water and munching on raw/super food snacks. NICE!

While giving it a hard rap, I can honestly say, the expo was great. I learned alot, healed alot, ate a lot and obviously spent alot. Like any expo, some things stand out as really really great and others you just walk on by.

When there are so many choices, choose the ones that work best with you. There are many 'cheap interpretations' out there and many products that are the real deal.

Don't be fooled into something that doesn't jive with what you need or want. Trust your guidance. Needless to say I am very happy with all my purchases but it is easy to get enamored and overwhelmed with all the super this and that out there. (However, I almost purchased some way out there things that I really don't need, thank God for short memory spans)

Trust yourself. Life is good, health is great and fun is even better.

Treat yourself to something fun, educational and health enhancing.

Be open, Live, laugh, and don't forget your super-food (for those super human types)!

Something for the Sweet Tooth

Today, believe it or not, is National Cupcake Day, according to the Today Show. Who da Thunk? There is actually an entire day, devoted to cupcakes. Now I have heard everything. Not that I mind. I love cupcakes. They are my absolute favorite and I often enjoy partaking in them.

I mean you have, Mother's Day, Father's Day, President's Day and now Cupcake day.

So today, you can have your cake and eat it to. Chocolate. Vanilla. In NYC, they get creative with flavors: Smores, Oreo, even Peanut Butter and Jelly, to say the least.

Cupcakes are good for the soul. They always seem to cheer up even the bluest of beings. I never met a cupcake I didn't like.

Whatever the flavor. Treat yourself. Have a cupcake. Or two! Sink your teeth into a ooey, gooey, delicious cupcake.

Sweet Dreams...........................

Simple Simon Sez...........

Notice the simple things in life. Friendship. Kitty Cats. Cupcakes. Warm fuzzy blankets. Hot Chocolate. Hot Apple Cider.

These are the things that make life simple, happy, fun.

Simple. Life is simple. We make it hard. Simplicity is the key. The more simple you have life, the more life is simple. Simplify life.

De-clutter your mind, your house and your fears.

Keep it simple. It never was meant to be hard but we as humans make it that way.

Stop making it hard! go for the simpler finer things in life.

Live life proud!

Life is for people.

People.
People who need People.

Face it folks. We can't do life alone. We need people around us and they need us as much, to fulfill life, our dreams, goals and destinies. You may have the most brilliant idea but if left to your own mind and own devices, you will kill off any possibility, dream, goal or idea in a heartbeat.

If you have people around you, not just any people, empowering people, then you can create, mold, build and thrive in your dreams. And So can they!

Let go of negative people. Yep, just cut the cords. Let them go. In the long run you will be happy you did. Negative people bring you down. Positive people help create magic in your life.

Regardless, you want to create a team of people around you, to help fulfill on life (as you are helping them fulfill). It is pulling together. People who will support you, will have you win, will have you be unrecognizable to yourself and have you expand. People who you can contribute to.

Game to take on: Only creating things being possible. Only being around empowering people. Only focusing on what you want. News Fast. (No News) Letting go of all fear, negative thoughts and doubt and living a complaint free life. For 7 days!!!!!!!!! If you can do this for 7 straight days, you win a prize bigger than you can imagine. A life of Freedom, joy and happiness. You miss one item or day, you have to start over.


Grab your team. Let them know the game and the rules and you're off!

See what fun (and mischief) you can create with this. This will alter your relationships and your life.

Remember........... No Negative (Cranky, Unruly,) People allowed. Clubhouse Rules!

Go forth Mary Sunshine!

Synchronicity is not just an album from The Police

Synchronicity. Signs. Coincidence.

Whatever you call it, there are signs all over the place. Sometimes they are blatantly obvious and sometimes they are hidden. Sometimes you just have to notice them. But they always come at the right place and right time. I have been going through alot lately like most people and from time to time want to give up hope. Get discouraged. Want to quit. Ask the angels for help. Wonder. Create. Empowered. Disempowered. LIFE LIFE LIFE.

I have known the powers of synchronistic events for a while. I had not been looking for anything but that is usually when they show up.

Like today, I was on the way to the gym and happen to look in a window and saw four stones with the words, believe, hope, dream and live. Hmmmm

Well that is a good way to start the day. Then I looked up and saw 444, which means the angels are with you. Hmmmm

Then, I saw a ton of white feathers which means the angels heard your prayers and are here protecting you. Hmmmmmm

Then I heard a song, with the words, never give up. Hmmmm

Then I stumbled into a bookstore I had never been in and saw they were doing free mini healings so I got one. As a healer, sometimes even healers need to be healed. I just sat and let the energy run through me.

On the way out of the store, I picked up a flyer that was for a healing modality I had never heard of and one that seemed appropriate for me right now. This class was coming up this weekend and works with light and healing especially cancer patients. As a cancer survivor, this is perfect. There was one spot left. Hmmmm

Everything is falling into place.

These little signs showed up today in perfect timing. It was exactly what I needed to hear, see and feel. Perfect little reminders.

Sometimes life does not go our way (or so it seems) but when you can pay attention to the signs, you know that no matter what you are dealing with, everything will be ok, and no matter how bad it looks, the angels are always there.

This is food for thought. Never give up hope, there is a sunnyside to every situation, always look on the bright side of life, every little thing, is gonna be alright, signs signs, everywhere there's signs, .......... the signs show the way.

Live from Bliss Street

I saw the movie today "Whip It". It is a fabulously done movie about following your bliss. Ironically the main character is named Bliss in the movie.

It shows no matter how tough life gets, following your bliss will always pull you through. Bliss is a very powerful word. Bliss is a high point on the emotion scale and therefore helps create things at a faster pace.

Bliss is a good thing to have and a good thing to seek and act on. Bliss is something that is given to you to fulfill. Create your bliss rather then always trying to find it. You know what makes you happy and blissful! Most humans try to spend time finding it, looking for it or wondering when life will be blissful. Life is short.

You are never to old or young to be living a life of bliss. Bliss does not equate materialistic endeavors. Bliss is the state of pure joy, harmony and happiness in ones life.

Bliss is all around you. Look for the constant reminders of Bliss in your life.

For me it is easy, I live on 'Bliss St' (in Sunnyside no doubt). Every time I walk outside I see Bliss (literally).

It is a reminder to have bliss be around you.

Never take for granted that which makes you blissful. Go for it now, while you are still young and lucid enough to care.

There is even chocolate named Bliss. (Hey if a chocolate is named after it, it has to be good)

Go forth, be blissful, eat chocolate, be happy!

That's what it is all about....................

Oh, and go see the movie "Whip it" ............ It is worth it......

Eat Your Veggies.

I had this thought. Chocolate. I mean I always think about Chocolate, but this is a different thought.

Chocolate, is essentially a vegetable and therefore is good for you. Chocolate comes from the cocoa bean. Bean is the key word here. Beans are a vegetable (in some cases) and vegetables are good for you right? So the more beans you eat, the better. (Ignore the rhyme from grade school, 'Beans, Beans, good for the heart')

So Chocolate is a bean and is a vegetable. If you eat 5 servings of Chocolate, are you then eating 5 servings of vegetables?

Hey, I kinda like this vegetables idea.

Go forth and eat your veggies, lots of them :)

Chocolate, the real food.

The Game of Life.

Many this life happening is really hitting us hard. Life is happening all over the place. People (you, me, your cousin Fred, your aunt Patty, everyone) are really dealing with things. Life.

Life is always going to happen. You do not have any control over your circumstances, but you do have control over how you are going to deal with your circumstances. You can be powerful or you can be a victim. You can thrive or you can shrink. You can live, or you can suffer.

It is up to you. Every moment you have a choice of to live powerfully or not. Every moment. That means this one, the next one, the moment after that. It is up to you!

Life is what you make of it. Being a Cancer survivor, I do my best to only focus on the thoughts I want to bring in or manifest. Sometimes I succeed at that and sometimes I get scared. I am human after all.

But when I get scared or fall off the wagon, then I brush my self off, and get back on. Even when it doesn't seem possible.

Life is a creation. Life is a game. Life is your canvas and you have the brush. Life is a playground. Life is an adventure. Where the dice rolls, you get to create and play again and again and again.

Life is love.

Love is life.

Life Happens (and it is not your fault) :)

Go forth and have the best life you can, because you said so!

Love Love Love - Love is All You Need

The Beatles are on to something. "All You Need Is Love". Love, is a many splendored thing. Love makes the world go round.

Love is a powerful word. If you think about it, Love is what makes life work. Love and Fear have the same experience it all boils down to what you call it or how you label it. The more you come from love, the more love you will have, experience and and receive.

When you can love your self, you emanate a light that shines and others are drawn to you. You can only love in others what you love in yourself. You are the key, the light, the missing piece of the puzzle. It all boils down to you. You You You. Yes You.

The more you give love, the more you get it. The more you create love, the more you receive it.

Love thyself, Love thy neighbor. Love all, serve all. Love is all you need.

The Creation Station

You are the creator of your life. That is it. Period. Everything that has happened, is happening or will happen is because you said so. Probably 96% was unconscious, there for came about by accident or chance. But you said it or thought it none-the-less.

Why should you be shocked? You are that powerful. Now if you can really truly get that you are the source of your life, you will really truly get you can create anything in your life, in your health, in your relationships, in your finances. Anything. Without Question, Every Time.

We relate to life as it is happening to us rather than we are the co-creator in our life. Life happens. I know I do. Having Cancer twice is definitely life happening to me. Who would have created cancer??????? Not me for sure. But when I look back at the areas of my life where I held in anger, fear, sadness or resentment, I can see where over time I created it. Not consciously of course, but I did. Not like I am at fault, or to blame but as I am responsible.

Now, I have the opportunity to create something else. I am creating a life full of happiness, wealth, health and wisdom. Much different context.

What ever life hands you is an opportunity to grow, create, learn and transform. You are not stuck with anything nor is everything finite. The more you create, the more you have the life you love. The more you let go of anger, fear, resentment or regret, the more you can grow. Life is after all about growing and learning.

You are in a lifetime training and development program called "your life". There will always be obstacles to overcome, lessons to learn and ways to grow. It is called being Human.

So give yourself some room to be human. Watch your thoughts and notice where you have fear. let it go and create something more flattering on you.

Go forth, shine your light and live and learn.


Let there be light.............. and there was............

Life Happens...... What are you doing with yours?

What do you do when things don't go the way you want? Most people run, cry, throw temper tantrums, get angry etc. I am inviting you instead of running away from life, Create something new! Notice where you are, it is fine where you are, but don't dwell on it, create a new experience.

Life happens. Sometimes it is for good and sometimes it is not so good. Sometimes you are experiencing abundance and other times experiencing lack. Sometimes you are experiencing power and other times you are experiencing fear. It is all a part of life.

The universe does not give you anything you can't handle but sometimes in the moment, it definitely has you question your own ability to handle what life throws at you much less anything else.

You have to experience all the emotions, fears, etc for them to disappear. If you suppress them, they will only show up later, in some form or fashion. Sometimes they show up in the form of a physical illness such as cancer or the sort, other times they show up as an emotional outburst. But they show up, without question. Guaranteed. When you suppress the emotions, remember it is only temporary, the lid will blow eventually.

Speaking your truth, letting the fear go and moving forward; it is what it is all about.

You will experience an array of emotions and feelings throughout the day but you do not have to let it get you down. You have the power! And the great thing to know is you always have...........


So when life gets uneasy, always remember, you can handle anything life throws your way, and this to shall pass.........

Life is short, emotions are temporary, this too shall pass, live forth and be loud.

Remember, he who has the most breakdowns has the most breakthroughs!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Some say Chicken Soup is healing, I say spending time with your friends is more healing. No matter what you are dealing with, and we all are dealing with something of some sort, true friendship is more healing than any amount of chicken soup you could consume. True friends, don't let you down, they see you bigger than you see yourself and encourage you to be powerful, even in the face of untimely circumstances.

This weekend I had a girl's weekend with my two best buds. We are all very different yet very much the same. We laughed till we cried, we made a delicious home-cooked meal, we watched funny (Chick flicks of course) movies, drank a great bottle of wine, we shopped and found great bargains, we beaded necklaces, we ate cupcakes, most important we were with each other.

All of us needed the down time, and all of us needed the laughter. Laughter is by far the best therapy one can have (and it is really cheap). Everyone needs to take time out of the busy and hectic (sometimes significant) lives we lead to embrace fun, play and friendship. Never be too busy for your friends, it is the best and most useful therapy one can have.

True friendship is a gift; it is a gift that you give yourself and a gift that keeps on giving. Choose your friends carefully and they will last a life time (better than a hand bag or a pair of shoes). Choosing a great friend is a totally empowering way to live you life. Choosing friends who do not complain, commiserate with your complaints, or leave you dis-empowered is a must! Only choose the friends who empower you to be the greatest you can be. ) Choosing friends is like choosing fine wine, never settle for a cheap substitute. Good friends age better than wine or cheese and they last longer too.

Most importantly, you age better with true friends. You see the mirror, the gap and know where to grow.

Life was not meant to be lived alone. It was meant to surround yourself with people you love and people who love you. Choose wisely.

And the Academy Award goes to...........

With all that is going on in the world, Make time to play. No matter what is going on around you, play is always a good thing. Play hard, like when you were 5. That youthful innocence and wonderment.

We 'forget' when we get older that we love to play and have fun and our world becomes a world of significance and drama.

Our live is a living soap opera and we are the star. We are the writer, director, actor and even producer of our version of "As the World Turns".

If you are going to play out the part, make sure it is a good one.

When you have fun and 'live' life, you are not stuck with the drama. Drama and suffering are optional. They only exist if you allow them. The more fun and play you have the less drama and suffering. There is a connection.

Since you are the creator, you can create a life without drama.

Now how's that for freedom!

Feelings, Whoa Whoa Whoa Feelings...................

You are not your body. You have a body, but you are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You have thoughts, but you are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. You have feelings but you are not your feelings.

Get the point? Then what are you? Whatever you create yourself to be!!!!!!!

Thoughts, feelings, are going to come up, even things with your body (ie cancer) but it does not mean that that is you. You can have your thoughts, but you don't have to be them. You are pure light and pure creation. There is nothing in the way of you having, being or doing what you want, except you (your thoughts and feelings).

If you had free reign to go, do, be or have what you want, what would you create. Are you waiting for someone to tell you?

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! This is the creation fairy, I hereby dub you the capacity to do, be and have what you want.

Is that better? Well is it?

Go forth and create! Leave your thoughts, feelings and in some cases, bodies behind.
The world is waiting for your masterpiece.
