Like Minded People Saturday February 7

Good Morning Sunshine!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Like Minded People that I have in my Life!! Ever been around people for so long that you just get used to their Normal?? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything wrong with them,  I'm saying one day you look around and think why am I only surrounded by one type of person?? This is Huge World with Diverse people all around us but sometimes we are so comfortable in who we spend time with that we don't think about trying to meet new people.  Studies have shown that we become  like the company we keep. So do you need to change your company?? Are you  surrounded by the Negative Nellys and Debbie Downers of the world?? Or do surround yourself with people who Lift you Up, Build your Self Esteem and Encourage you to Follow your Dreams?? Either way, you will be similar to company you keep.  Several years ago, I decided to Step out my Comfort Zone and do things where I can meet new people, hear different view points, expand my culture.  Guess what happened?? I have met some really Awesome, Amazing and Fun people!! Some of them have become people I call Friends!! I'm open minded enough to meet someone, hear their story and learn something from them.  Are you open minded to able to do that?? Next time you're feeling down, maybe it could be time to step out of your comfort zone and find a Positive Person to spend time with.  May your day be filled with people who lift up,  encourage you and make you think differently!! Happy Saturday!!

Time Friday, February 6

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for #Time, that there is A time for Everything!! We all have a limited amount of time here, so we should make the best of it, right?? With that said, is there something that you need to tell someone?? Maybe you need to tell someone how much they mean to you.  Or maybe you need to tell someone that you're sorry.  Don't wait, do it now before it's too late!! It seems we all think that we have all the Time in the world to get around to doing and saying the things that we really need to do and say...The reality is,  we don't!!! There is time to rest, to work, to love, to mourn, to forgive, to dance and to tell the people who are on your heart and mind that you love them and apologize if needed.  Before that time is up, I hope you do that soon!! May your weekend be filled with an opportunity to tell someone who have always wanted to say that you're sorry or that they mean the world to you!! Life is short and You All mean the World to me!! Happy Friday!!

Commitment Thankful Thursday, February 5

Good Morning Campers!! It's #ThankfulThursday What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for #Commitment!! Commitment is a pledge or promise to yourself and/or others. How many times have we promised something to another person but then didn't follow through?? We weren't committed to holding that promise.  What about the promises we tell ourselves?? Do we hold those in higher regards or are we less committed to ourselves than others?? For example, last year I promised myself I would run a 5k.  I committed to the training of running on a regular basis and eating the proper foods.  And guess what, I did it!! In my professional career, I have been at jobs where I stayed no longer than 6 months and I have been committed to a company where I stayed for 10 years.  What the difference was; my Commitment to the company and to my Goals in life. When our heart is 100% all in, we are committed to that Goal, situation and/or person. Now, I'm Committed to Making My Dreams come True which will Empower Others to make their dreams come true!! What are you Committed to?? May your heart be filled with Commitment, so you can work on your Goals and Dreams!! Then you can reach back and empower someone else to do the same!! Happy Thankful Thursday!!

Goals Wednesday February 4

Good Morning Campers from Camp Sunnyside!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for the Goals that I have written down!!  When we write our Goals down,  there is a mind body connection that happens that changes the way our mind perceives them.  They are no longer just rolling around in our head and we are wishing they come true. When we write down our Goals, they almost jump off the page and come alive, creating Action!!  Without Action, Goals can not become Reality!!  When we take Action,  the Goals will take on their own personality (lack of a better word). We will begin to Wake Up every morning focused on how can we achieve that Goal.  What Action can we do today that will be one step towards reaching our Goals??  How can we make this happen?? There is a shift in our everyday thoughts when we write down our Goals as there will always be people telling us, We can't Do it!!  However, when you see that Goal written down on paper,  you know that one day,  it will happen!! And you start to live with the Determination as It Will Happen, it's just a Matter of Time!!  So if you haven't taken the time to write your goals down, take the time and watch and see what happens next,  you might just Achieve what you want!!  May your day be filled with an opportunity to write down your Goals, an Action to make your Goals become Reality and make a Connection that will help you along the way!!  Happy Wednesday!!  

Power of Words Tuesday, February 3

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful that I understand the Power of my Words Direct where I will Go in life!! Anyone remember that saying Loose Lips Sink Ships?  It means a couple of things, Lies creates Loses. And it means What we say will Direct the Direction We Are Going!! Just as a rudder directs where the boat travels, our tongues direct where our lives go.  If we use our words for good,  we will be heading in the right direction. If we use our words for bad (to hurt others), we will be heading down the wrong direction. Ever been part of the rumor mill and watched as the words people say wreck havoc and chaos into that person's life or even destroy a business?? It happens on a daily basis!!  What if we turned that around and instead of gossip, we  speak blessings, abundance and prayers over people and businesses?? What would that look like??  I think we would have a bunch of Healthy, Wealthy and Wise people in the world,  more than we have now!! So the next time you feel like speaking bad about someone, turn it around and speak a blessing for them it might just change Your Life and theirs!!  May your Day be filled with people who Speak Positive Words and Blessings about you!! And may you have the opportunity to do the same for others!!  Happy Tuesday!! 

Miracle Monday February 2

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for All the Miracles in my Life!!  If you think that you haven't had a miracle lately,  I'm here to tell,  yes you have!! However, we take some miracles for granted. For instance, the Sun rose again today!!  We are breathing and ready to take on the day!!  How many of us were born to parents who were told they couldn't have any more children?  But here you are!!  How many of us had children after being told,  you shouldn't have any more??  Your children are proof of miracles!  And yet, we put stuff in categories!!  Big miracles, little miracles,  Big mistakes, little mistakes.  How about saying it is what it is. A Miracle is a Miracle regardless of the adjective we put in front of it!! Let's be thankful for All the Miracles in our Life regardless of the adjective we want to add.  If we expect a Miracle to happen, then maybe it will happen more often!!  May your Day be filled with Miracles and be expecting and thankful for countless Miracles to happen!! Happy Monday!!  

Generous Sunday, February 1

Good Morning Campers from Camp Sunnyside!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for Other's #Generosity!! Now when I say that,  I don't mean money!! I mean People who are Generous with their Time, with their Kindness and with their Love!! Ever have someone take an hour to sit down with and just listen?? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!  They were Generous with their Time, Kindness and Love all at the same time!  We are all busy!!  We all have Hectic schedules!! And yet we will make time for the ones who matter.  What about those who we don't think matter??  Maybe that's where we need to Focus our Generosity!  Maybe we Should spend some Time, Kindness and Love to someone who we normally wouldn't have.  Maybe if we spent time kindness and love to someone we just met, we might just change their life!!  What if it was reversed??  You meet someone new, maybe at school, the gym, or even at a networking function, and you follow up by carving out some time with this Person. How would that look to them??  Maybe you were the missing link in the Next Great Thing!! Maybe they just said to themselves 'nobody wants to spend time with me, I should just end it all' and you made the difference. Maybe they just needed to vent about something before they exploded on their loved ones. We never know the kind of Impact we will make on another person. So if we make a conscious choice to be Generous with our Time, Kindness and Love,  maybe we can change someone's life!!  And then they will reach back the next person and do the same. May your day be filled with People who are Generous with their Time, Kindness and Love for you!!  Happy Sunday!!
