Easter Wishes Sent Your Way

Smiles and Inspiration 2012

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Matthew 28: 6

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

King James Version (KJV) John 3: 16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He is Risen !  The true meaning of the Easter season.   Not the colored easter eggs, or the special chocolate rabbits.  Not the sharing of the easter baskets or the jelly beans.  No not even the ham and trimmings.  The true meaning of this holiday is the empty grave  and the knowledge that he is risen! 


How blessed we are to know this.  To have knowledge that God even after all of the transgressions and faults that we as children have chosen to fall into.  That he sent his son so that we may have everlasting life.    Awesome news : )


So it has indeed been a while since my last post.  I think of you all daily and much has been going on.  Happy to report that it is all good.... no all great.


My life has been flowing into a positive direction.  My goals are slowly starting to form into objectives, tasks, progress is at my feet and I continue to step into a good direction.  A direction for me and my family that feels and is by my choice.


Thank you for all your prayers and kind words.


Sure I know that life is a series of waves, and I am sure you know this as well.


We are either riding a wave head held high or being crashed by a wave.  But still can we hold are head high?  I say yes.  I know we can.  We can look in the mirror and know that we have all the "right stuff" to handle any and all crisis that may befall us.  We can, and we will.


We will not try to handle it.  For to try is to not even do.  As Yoda said there is no try only do or not do.


So today, this Easter Sunday know the following:


He is risen !
He is sitting in heaven at the right hand of God !
He came so we may have everlasting life !


We are created to be happy and filled with joy and love.
We are created to share in that happiness, joy and love.


We have 2 eyes to see, 2 ears to listen, 2 hands to reach out.
We also have 1 mouth to speak, and 1 heart to love and 1 mind to utilize all of our choices.


Choose wisely.
Love deeply.
Care always.
Pray everyday.
Smile forever
Live with it all.

Dream big, Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish and live with Passion :)  Smiles to you this day and everyday : )

The New Affirmation for the month of April 2012

Today I will start fresh, will look to the heavens in prayer, rise from bed with joy leaping from my heart.  Today I will take time to love a little more, be kinder to complete strangers and be a friend to nature.   Today I will be more for when I become more I will become stronger, wiser and more significant for the world.  I will ensure laughter is part of my daily routine.  I will also find something to move me to tears.  Because when laughter is a part of the day and tears are also part we have indeed lived a more full day.  I will dream more, love more and always live each day with a positive attitude.  So this month will be filled with days like this.  This pattern begins now.

Putting it all Together Day 7 of 7 Goals/Objectives and SMART ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 91 of 366 ~ 3/30/12

Putting it all Together 
 Day 7 of 7

Goals / Objectives and SMART

So here we are, day 31 of March and we covered much ground.  Today we wrap it up in a few words.  May your April 2012 be full of love, many blessings, spoken gratitude and joy. : )

It is my hope that you take the time to put it all together.  I am a firm believer in the power of love.  Love of self is the utmost love one can give and even more so to be able to give love you must love yourself first.

Live in the present, not in the past, not in the future and live in the here and now.  Don't try to do everything at once.  We must live in a task oriented life, one step, then the next and then the next.  So on and so on until our Goals and objectives our met.

Don't think about your goal or tasks as coming to an end.  For they are not, as you go on after death so does your goals and objectives as they are completed.

Believe and follow your dreams.  Turn your dreams into goals and your goals narrow down into objectives.  Follow your dreams  and your heart will always be filled with love and hope.

The process is now yours, the goals and dreams are yours alone. 

I hope you have enjoyed the last 31 days. I hope you can reflect upon your love, your beliefs, your faith, your dreams and believe in all of them.

Enjoy and I will be back tomorrow and my smiles will be back as well.  : )

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

New Affirmation for the Month of March ..... Use it daily and feel the change in you.

I walk with confidence and understanding towards success.  Born into a perfected state I strive to achieve my intended purpose, to love, to share and care for self and for others that come in contact with me.  I choose to be happy and share laughter.  Making a difference in another persons life for the better gives positive and ever flowing energy into my world.  I am focusing on my goals, the this moment goal, this day, my weekly goals and monthly goals I achieve because of my spirit and focus.

The Process Day 3 of 7 Goals/Objectives and SMART ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 87 of 366 ~ 3/27/12

The Process Day 3 of 7

Goals / Objectives

and SMART

The more you plan to succeed in your goal process the more likely it will come true.  The more you plan to just get by the more likely you will not meet your expectations.

When we get a clear picture of our goal/objective we will start to design the path to its completion and success.

Begin with the end in mind.  Make a clear picture of what you want, and what you want that goal to look like in its completion.    Make the picture or image clear and free of blur and make it have sound and color.

How would it feel to make your goals come true.

How would it sound to have your objectives met.

What would the outcome and what benefits would you obtain if you met your goals.

How would your life change.

Make this picture clear and the image resounding so you can make your future bright and full of color and results will abound.

We will go on more with this process and may your week be blessed. : )

The Process Day 2 of 7 Goals/Objectives and SMART ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 86 of 366 ~ 3/26/12

The Process Day 2 of 7

Goals / Objectives

and SMART

Yesterday we had you take your top 10 goals and align them for time bound deadlines, make them real, make them attainable and make them specific. Today we take it further.  : )

So you got your top 10 now what.  Attempt to do all of these all at once.  No but you have them so now lets take them to where you are now.  Are any of these goals intertwined.  Would it be wise to work on the objectives of 1 or 2 which would help you get to 3 and 4 and so forth.  

Try to look at them from outside of yourself.  Look at them and understand which would truly be game changers if you connected the dots.

Which require more effort?

Which require more time?

Take charge here and make time to reflect and project your success before you even begin.

Take charge of your list and break them out into smaller objectives.

Which would be best to attain first and would help you attain the next. In life much of what we do leaves a pattern and show should our goals we just need to look closer for the patterns.

Goals are like broad brushes waiting to be painted.

Objectives go after a more defined look and start to plan out in more detail the goals.

Individual tasks go into a more step by step actions that help get us even closer.

Take these steps with your top two goals that will help you go to the next goals and define your objectives and spell out your tasks.

We will go on more with this process and may your week be blessed. : )

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.
