Here is something you might not know about me:
I very much dislike hamsters! I had hamsters as a kid and they ate my favorite shirt! It was sitting next to their cage and they pulled it in and chewed holes in it. My dad then made them an amazing plexi-glass home, it was very large and had 2 levels. I did a report on the hamsters for science class and I brought them to school in their new see-through home. During my report, in front of the entire class, the hamsters DID it… yes IT!!! Let me tell you… that is something that could ruin a 7th grader! Then, a short time after that, a few weeks or months… I came home from school and heard an ominous sound. I looked all over the house for this noise that sounded like cereal crunching…. I found the sound. It was the hamsters, they had babies and were eating them. OHHHHH MY GOSHHHHHH!!!!!!! That was IT! I was so upset, I had no idea they would have babies, let alone eat them. It was one of the most disgusting and gruesome things I had ever seen. Well, after that, the hamsters were re-homed. I love animals, but I am NO fan of hamsters!

Very often I hear people say “What am I going to do with all this extra….” or “I have so much….. and I have no idea what to do with it.” So why not share it? In my house, we always have extra fresh eggs because we raise our own chickens, so I share them with friends, neighbors and even a few students. If you have an extra amount of goodies because you baked too much, or you got a bunch of extra “something” because you hit a good sale, just share it! You can always store things for later, but sharing feels so great and sometimes you could be sharing with someone who is in need and you don’t even realize it! So today, share the extra, see how great it feels to give beyond self and Live Inspired Now!

Whether they are step kids, foster kids, neighbor kids or just kids that needed guidance and you took them in…. they are still our kids in our hearts. So today, call your Mom and/or your Mother figure, wish them a happy day, let them know they made a difference in your life and Live Inspired Now!

How much magic do we miss each day because we are not present in the moment. We might be thinking about what we have to do later when we get home, or thinking about the grocery list. So many thoughts occupy our mind that we often forget to look around, observe where we are and enjoy the moment. If you stop, breathe and take an inventory of your surroundings, it puts you in the “now.” Do this and see if you notice anything new. Notice how you are feeling in the moment, notice what sounds you hear. Isn’t it funny how some of us have to practice “being present in the moment” and not getting caught up in the past, or future? So today, enjoy the present moment, try to remain in the now as much as possible and Live Inspired Now!

Kids (grown ups too) need boundaries. You must know what your boundaries are and stick to them. You know what you will allow and not allow, hold true to that. Kids especially will try to push the limits and the best thing you can do as a parent is to draw the line and hold your ground. Kids will grumble and complain but the fact is, we set guidelines to teach and protect them. It doesn’t always feel good but nobody gets into parenting just to feel good. It takes a strong and loving parent to draw the line and hold a kid to it but in the end, a healthy well adjusted adult emerges and thanks you for all that you did (eventually!) So today, don’t be wishy washy, set the guidelines and stick to them and Live Inspired Now!
