Using time wisely
Posted by: | CommentsToday we are talking about time. How are you using your time? Wasting it or using it to help others or even your self. Here’s a short video, about 2 minutes that may shed some insight into the world of “time.”
I am mainly writing for that special women 50ish and above but whatever age you are I hope it is beneficial.

Smiling through storms
Posted by: | CommentsStorms of life happen to all people. Sometimes they happen whether planned or not.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”

How are you responding through your storms.
Here’s some words I would love to share with you today. Hope they inspire to looking at life through different lens when they happen.
The choose is yours of how you respond.
Leaving a legacy – remembered by your past
Posted by: | CommentsOh, before I forget. Have you gotten my free report on giving. See the gold box and be added to my mailing, not spam list, too. Share me with others. Looking to get a tribe of women 50ish, mid 50 an above banning together–celebrating life–second by second and aging too! Half of our life may be over, but it’s built us up to move ahead stronger with decades behind us! Yeah!! Your BEST days are STILL ahead!
Today’s blog was prompted by my elementary schoolmate Chris Clarke. I am talking about decades ago even seeing him or the rest of elementary or high school kids I knew. Here’s what he wrote me today based on this website and probably my About video:
“”just happy go lucky— I saw your website and it was excellent- your voice sounds so good and you look like I remembered you- “
So as I reflect on these kind words, what kind of legacy are you being remembered by? I give his words high praise as I want to stand out from the crowd, not be boxed into any mindset that doesn’t enhance helping others and then myself. I want to make a difference in this world and not just settle back in my comfort zone, behind a computer, or in front of a television monitor. I don’t want to be talk and not action.
So where do you begin to leave a legacy? Here’s a few pointers I would consider:
1. Know what you love doing. If you love making fishing poles, perhaps this skill to others who are perhaps less fortunate to pay for the class, so offer it. It may be a way for them to supplement their income or even eating sources for finding fish. If you love writing, perhaps teach a writing class, write a book, speak to groups. If you are a good basketball player volunteer. If you have carpenter hands, give a helping hand to an organization such as Habitat for Humanity. Use your gifts and spread the word.
2. Live to enjoy life. Attitude plays an important role in everyday living. You can see the glass half full or empty. I see my glass half full whereas I know others who need to have the proof that the glass is half full so they see it half empty. It’s a mindset. How do you see life? Great, sucks or just okay
I think I am going to quit here as I feel like I gave lots of meat and potatoes to chew on but for me it would be a hearty salad with a flavorable vegan raw dressing.
Go out and reflect of how you want to be remembered today. Yesterday is “gone”, today is here and tomorrow may not arrive. When you reach your last breath it is over! Over–the end–gone–finished!!! No return!!
Words to chew on that I totally embrace by Jim Rohn, excerpted from “Twelfth Pillar of Success: Legacy, Part Two”
“Don’t ever stop in your pursuit of a legacy. Many people have accomplished tremendous things later on in life. There is never a time to stop in your pursuit of a legacy. Sometimes older people will say, “I am 65. I’ll never change.” That won’t build a great life! No, there is always time to do more and achieve more, to help more and serve more, to teach more and to learn more. Keep going and growing that legacy!”
Cheers, till we chat again soon.
Last change reminder: Your free report is waiting for you. The gold box is what you are looking for on the right side of this screen. Gotta it–get it now!

Living life on purpose or just coasting by or through?

Is your life leaking, roof, ceiling or other circumstances caving in? Just believe!
Posted by: | CommentsWasn’t ready to write so quickly, but here came another post due to tonight’s “flood.”
Are you wondering what happens when your whole world seems like it is leaking or caving in? What would you do? Cry, scream, grow angry or just laugh and know new beginnings are happening?
Tonight I experienced a leak that could change directions tomorrow in my bedroom tomorrow. My hubby is in place, not leaving for any reason, but my roof decided it was time to “take a leak.” The bed is flooded, the mattress drenched, the wood floor wet and the ceiling is damaged. All this needing immediate attention as well.
What would you do if you life changed suddenly in minutes, days, weeks, months or years? Things happen and for me I grabbed a towel, wiped up the wood floor, snapped pictures of the wetness and wrote insurance company. I ran to twitter about it too.
Where will I sleep tonight? I’m going to be camping out on my wood floor that has a yoga mat waiting for me in the living room. What else can I say, but things happen sometimes beyond our control.
The sad thing is a few months back we had an insurance claim and had adjuster out who didn’t see reason to replace the roof. I wonder what he’s thinking now when he sees the ceiling, the roof, etc. Will it be more costly to his company?
Oh, to top it off, our spare bed and bedroom is taken over by my pregnant daughter and hubby who are visiting for a few more days. I am headed to the floor in a few minutes. My hubby is sound asleep already.
Is it true where there is breath there is life and where there is life there is reason to find excuses to laugh at challenges? Not all challenges are funny at the time, but still sooner or later they can become that way.
How about this quote to close out this post?
“We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.” Epictetus

So what’s leaking in your life and can it be fixed? Does it feel like he room is caving in? All things are possible to those who believe. “Just Believe” is one way and phrase David Neagle is known for. I agree!
Cheers till we share again,
