Want to look prettier? Want to feel absolutely stunning? Want to turn heads with your beauty? Want to have many friends and be surrounded by people who really care about you? Who wouldn’t right? It is simple, worry less about make-up, clothes and the latest trends and focus on what you can give to the world. Kindness is the most beautiful thing you can wear and thinking of others is the most attractive thing you can do. Be kind and considerate, never talk badly about people, do not judge, put others needs first, offer to help someone, be nice to or stand up for someone who gets picked on, start a kindness campaign and vow to be compassionate to everyone you meet…. THIS will make you more beautiful! BE the type of person you wish you had around you. BE the person that people look up to. BE the compassionate friend that everyone counts on. BE the one who sets a standard for kindness and generosity. BE beautiful and Live Inspired Now.

“Like happiness, beauty is a choice, not a result. It comes from an inner desire to put others first, to never judge and to offer kindness even when it doesn’t come easy. You can choose to be beautiful and that choice shines through for the world to love.”

While I was home with my sick daughter last week, I caught her cold and thus this week I am home with a sick me. I do tend to push it and not let myself rest when I get sick but not this time! This time I promised my husband I would get plenty of rest and not work. Knowing that I would need SOMETHING to do though, I created a “What to do when you are sick” list! There are so many tedious little things we never get to, they are perfect activities when sick because they require little energy, you can do them from bed and are super useful to have completed! Can you think of any more to add?

I had my first art class yesterday and it was really fun! We are working in acrylics and painting a farm scene with a red barn and a horse grazing in a field. I thought it was going to be really difficult since I have only painted one other time but that was in oil paints and following a Bob Ross video guide. It was pretty easy though and in the first day I already drew the image, primed the canvas and started to put color on! I will post the finished product here in a few weeks… even if it’s ugly! lol.
So today, I would encourage everyone to try an art class. Every town has local artists and many of them offer classes at reasonable prices. Take a class, find your creative outlet and Live Inspired Now!

Did you have a bad start to your day? Start again! Sometimes we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed, but you have the option to start again. Take a deep breath, let go of the missed bus, torn stocking, lack of coffee, dog pee on the floor and tell it all to STOP! Then, smile, tell yourself that from this point forward things will go your way and start again! Our days aren’t just happening to us, we are fully participating and we have the power to start new at any time. So today, or any day that starts on the wrong foot, start again, make it better and Live Inspired Now!

Do you know someone who is always talking about problems, about what needs to be done, about homelessness, poverty, civil rights, drug problems, politics, etc…. but never does anything? Ugh! This is one of my biggest pet peeves, STOP talking about the problem and START doing something! If you see a homeless person who is hungry, don’t go and tell 20 people about it, then post about it on your facebook, then write a letter… just bring the guy a sandwich and an apple! Help a single mom find a job by scanning online postings and offer to babysit during the interview. Hold a blanket and coat drive and deliver them to the homeless in your town. Invite people to dinner that don’t have family to eat with. Visit the elderly at a retirement home, they love to have people listen. Join big brothers, big sisters or mentor a child. Send Christmas presents to a struggling parent. Be polite and friendly to other people in a store or on the street. Pay for the coffee of the guy in line behind you.
There are SOOOO many ways in which you can DO instead of talking about the problem. Yes, Thad and I have done all the things I mentioned and many many more things and we will always do things to serve our fellow humans. So today, stop talking about the problems of the world and think about what you can DO to make a difference and Live Inspired Now!
