March Madness Got You Feeling Overwhelmed?


When you are feeling overwhelmed take a break and start doing one thing at a time. Whether at home or at work concentrate on one job at a time and complete each one. Learn to walk away from your desk and take a five minute break.

Time away whether for a five minute break or a full week will give you a new perspective. Sedona, Arizona was voted most beautiful place to visit in USA News, and for good reason. I have lived in Sedona for five years and the beauty continues to keep me breathless.

When is the last time you stopped to see a sunset? Yesterday when we drove home from work I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Red Rocks I have ever witnessed. Each day is a miracle as long as we hold that perspective. Do you feel the winds of March and March madness has you in it grips? Take a break and watch a beautiful sunset. Take a few deep breaths and hold gratitude in your heart for each blessing. You will find your heart feeling lighter.

What is the most beautiful sunset you have observed lately?

St Patrick's Day Luck or Miracle


Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here is a field of green four leaf clovers for your week!
Are you walking in a field of four leaf clover? It is all in our perspective. If we feel as though we walk in a field of clover we attract luck and miracles into our life. On the other hand if we feel that our world is void of luck we attract disaster.
When is the last time you had a miracle happen in your life? We had a miracle recently when we drove to California. We thought our wheels were out of alignment. We had a terrible vibration in the tires. When we took it in to Big O Tires we found that the tread on the tires were seperating. We drove through the Desert and the Bad Lands enjoying the beautiful wild flowers and were protected with a safe journey. We were especially grateful for that safe journey.
Share you special luck or miracle.

March Craziness--Snow in California and Tornados in Atlanta


March has brought weather madness and deepens our concerns regarding global warming.
Follow these easy to apply steps to stay centered during March madness.
1. Take your emotions off auto pilot. Enroll in a yoga or meditation class. Learn to stay centered no matter what is going on around you.
2. Breathe deeply and learn to release your stress. Most people tighten up as a result of stress and breathe very shallowly. This becomes a endless cycle of deepening stress. Stress can make you sick and causes 90% of all illness.
3. Are you stressed over things that you cannot control? Remember the affirmation let go and let God. Decide to let go of the things you can't control and stay centered. Your breath can assist you to relax and let go.
4. What is your favorite way to relax?

Cure Your Depression with Music Not Pills

Dread waking up in the morning and would rather stay in bed? Instead of reaching for pills to numb your emotions turn on some music you love and move your body.

Recent research has found that Prozac has little effect on its 40 million patients. This research found that Prozac and other seratonin inhibitors are no better than sugar pills. Music however did prove to be effective in releasing the symptoms of depression.

So rather than reaching for a pill to numb your emotional pain turn on some music and move your body. What is your favorite music to lift your mood, when you are feeling blue? I personally love drums.
