Ray Of Light Edited

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well with you. This is how I'm feeling today! Feeling like a ray of light, full of positive energy, because I think I have finally beaten my worst addiction, cigarettes! It's been two weeks and I feel better every day, I have tried to quit before, quite a few times, and have always gone back, but this time it feels different. I have not bought a pack of cigarettes like I use to to have in case I need one,(and I love all the money I am saving!) I actually feel more calm without them, that has never happened before LOL! But I think most of all I feel like I am just starting my life over and I want to live as long as possible, especially for my kids and grand kids, and feel good while doing it! Each year it seems my universe has gone by more quickly! I'm going to do my best to carry this feeling with me every day to help me keep winning my battles. So I wish for you today that you focus on the positive in some aspect of your life, and pass on that energy to those around you, be a ray of light for others, only good can come from being positive!
Thanks for visiting my blog,
Love ya,

And I FEEL!!


Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying!!

Had a great sleepover this weekend,
with the kids, it's so much fun being Mimi!


Bri's first snowman this year :)


Too cute huh!


Speaking of flying, don't mind the video is sideways,
no fear kids, no fear!

Clear Your Heart

Clear Your Heart

Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well. Forgiveness can be a difficult emotion to give out freely for some of us. Even when we tell ourselves we will a better person in the end. Maybe using this loving kindness meditation could help you forgive in a better state. We have all been hurt by someone, past or present. Many of us carry that hurt around longer than we should. When we continue to carry this pain, anger, resentment with us, we are really hurting ourselves. It can really keep us from living in the present and moving on. When we forgive that person, we will have more room in our heart to love. Weather you chose to meditate formally or informally bring to mind that person who hurt you and the feelings that come along with that memory. When you begin to feel the anger, the pain, notice how it makes your heart feel. Not forgiving this person can constrict your heart like a Brier growing around your heart shutting out the light. Begin to say to yourself, I forgive you for whatever hurt you may have caused me, intentionally or unintentionally to the extent I am able to. As you forgive this person you will begin to feel a weight lifted off of you. Your heart will begin to clear and make more room for the light to shine in. And where there is light, there is love and that can only be a good thing.

Melt the Ice

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are doing well. I am doing good. Today I wanted to share
another loving kindness meditation with you. The next time you can't
stop thinking that you're a terrible person who hasn't contributed
anything of worth to the world. As we often are our own worst enemy
and put many expectations on ourselves. Chose either a informal or
formal way of meditating and notice the painful or uncomfortable
thoughts that are vying for your attention. Let them pass through
your mind like clouds. Begin to think of someone from your past who
loved you. For example a school teacher who recognized you had a gift
for language, or a mentor who helped you develop a craft for art. Picture
that person sitting in front of you smiling. Feel this person extending
love and care to you in the form of radiant light like the rays from the sun.
Let your heart open up to receive this warm light. If your heart feels
blocked imagine this barrier as a thin layer of ice melting to make room
for this love. As you let this warmth from this person into your heart
let it overflow with love and gratitude. Let this feeling flow throughout
your entire body, filling you with the sensation of peace and ease.
After feeling this way for a couple of minutes bring yourself back to
your day. Try to hold on to these feelings and as you go about your
day and share them with the world. You will make it a better place.

How Blessed Am I

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are doing well, I am doing good. Now that spring has arrived, I feel a sense of wanting to renew myself as everything else around me is. So I wrote a little poem about how I am feeling. Hope you like it.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.
Take Care,
Janet :)

How Blessed Am I

How blessed an I to be alive,
with you by my side.
I am so blessed to have my
health, no need for
wealth.

How blessed am I to loved
the ones who have traveled on
to the other side
They are my Angels and
my guides.

How blessed am I to feel
the sun rays on my face,
Each time pain will be
erased.

How blessed am I
to look at the stars
at night.
Their light embraces
me and there is no need
for fright.

How blessed am I
that I have friends like
you. No price could
be placed on jewels so true

How Blessed am I
to walk through the waves
as the sun enters another
phase

How blessed am I
to feel the breeze
of a willow tree
My spirit is renewed,
My light shines through

How blessed are we
to be a part of life's journey.
Each day, feel, embrace,
walk or run like you have
just begun. Blessings will
follow one by one.
