Solitude Sunday May 17

Good Morning Campers from Camp Sunnyside!!

What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for the Solitude that I can take!! Some people call it "Me Time". Others call it "Retreat for One". There is a difference between taking a moment for yourself and isolating yourself. Solitude will refresh, renew and rejuvenate you.  Isolation will hurt, destroy and break down your Spirit. Do we go through times where we want to isolate ourselves from our friends and family?? Absolutely!! Its in those times, that we beat ourselves up, focus on the negative aspects and go through a deep dark depression.  And its in those times that we believe that we are worthless, unloved and unhappy!  We end up in a situation where we hear that Negative inner voice so much that we start to believe it!! Do Not Believe it!! That is where we can kill our spirit. 

Knowing the difference between these two will Empower you to focus on just taking a moment in Solitude to rest and recover. Then you see the first signs that you are isolating yourself, you can reach out before its too late!! As we learn what our early signs are, we can will learn how to redirect those times to make it our "Retreat for One" time!! We can cultivate time into our busy schedules to have down time, reflect, have some fun, wrap our arms around the people that we love, relax and enjoy just the simplest of things. In this time of Reflection, we have to breath in the moment and appreciate everything that we have. Give Glory. Pamper yourself. Be Mindful of your accomplishments, big and small. Then when the time is up and we have to join the rest of the world again, we will be Brighter, Happier and have More Energy!! Likewise, when you see someone else going through their isolation time, you can reach out and empower them to focus on the positive!

May you use your time of Solitude to ReFuel, Rejuvenate and Renew your Soul so you can accomplish what's coming next!! Happy Solitude Sunday!!

Time Heals Friday May 15

Good Morning Campers!!

 What are thankful for today?? I'm thankful that Time Does and Will Heal Almost  Everything!! Let's face it, we All go through difficult times!! And those times can be so agonizing to get through!  However, a year  or ten years from that time, You will Be Better!! Nothing is Permanent! Hard times are Temporary!! It might not seem like it at the time but they are.  Do you have a goal in mind?? You Project what it will be like achieving that goal...in Time increments. In one year,  Five years and so on. So think about the tough times the same way.  Yeah right now it may be the worst thing you've ever experienced... And in a year from now or five years from now.... You'll have gotten through it!  Don't Give Up!! I can speak from experience! Six years ago today, my life had an  unexpected event that Changed My Life forever!! It was one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through... And now I am Beyond relieved that it happened!! Now on the other hand,  today is the Graduation ceremony for a friend's son who passed away recently.  It will be a difficult day for them and I pray that Time will heal them.
May you look at your circumstances a little different and think about where you'll be in the upcoming years.  I have surpassed anything my imagination thought I would be from where I was. May your Goals Surpass Your Wildest Imagination!! Happy Friday!!

Happy Mother's Day Sunday May 10

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for My Mother!! **Happy Mother's Day to All the Mothers!!** A mother is the one who loves you unconditionally, even though she might not like you at the moment. A mother stays awake worrying cause she cares for you more than you'll ever know. A mother will nurture you in a way that only she knows how. A mother will put a band aid on your ouchie, cook dinner for you,  help you with homework... all while talking on the phone!! She is the Original Multi Tasker!! There are many people who fill these shoes... Even a Non-Mom will be a Mother Figure to someone else. And maybe you have been blessed by having many Mothers!! So this goes out to All the Mothers, StepMothers, Aunts, GrandMothers, NonMoms and the Fathers who are like a Mom... May your day be filled Love, Laughter, Peace and Happiness!! Enjoy your day and Every day Loving on your kids!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Guard Your Heart Saturday May 9

Good Morning from Camp Sunnyside!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful that I learned how to "Guard My Heart"!! Not just in Relationships, also my Business Endeavors!! Let's face it,  we have to be careful of the company we keep... Period!! They are Negative people whose whole purpose in life is to drag others down.  Learn to Identify these people quickly and then Run!! Would you want to be in Business with that person?? Hell No!! Would you want those people as Friends?? No Way Jose!! Would you want to Fall in Love with someone life that?? Absolutely NOT!! So Guard Your Heart and don't let the negative and ruthless people enter into your life.  Keep them from coming in!! Guess what their purpose is... To Sabotage You!! You must protect all that you have worked for!! Stay Positive, stay on Your Course so you can be Unstoppable!! Then when you see someone going through the same thing, share your story and empower them to Guard their Heart!  May your day be filled with Loving, Positive and Inspiring People!! May they love on you, be a positive force and inspire you!! Happy Saturday!!  #guardyourheart #knowyourworth  #entrepreneur #positive #inspiration #empowerothers

Tulip Time Sunday May 3

Good Morning Sunshine!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for TulipTime every year!! Even though they only are in Bloom for a short period of time, they are Beautiful!! Did you know there are over 3,000 different varieties of Tulips?? This got me to thinking about how many varieties of People there are in this world.  We come from different countries, economic background, religions etc. When we look at the Tulips when we can find the Beauty in each individual flower and when they're all together.  So why can't we do the same with People??!! Let's find the Beauty in our Differences!! Just like the Tulips' time of Being in Bloom, we only get a small window of time with some people in our lives. And sometimes we get a small window of opportunity at work, during the "busy season". And then there are circumstances where We are only "In Bloom" for a period of time. Don't waste Your Season!! Make the most of it in a positive way!! Admire each others' Beauty!! We All Bloom at different times, so Encourage those who need it!! Appreciate the people in your life for Their Beauty!! May your Day be full of Blooming Relationships and Blooming Business Endeavors!! This  Is  Your  Season!! Happy Sunday!!
