Your mind is an easy place to escape to! Give yourself some time to escape, think about a fun vacation, get lost in a romantic memory or recall that time you felt really confident. Set an alarm on your phone to snap you out of it so you don’t spend more time than you have, then enjoy the brief respite. When the boss is cranky or the kids are whining, set sail on a little mind excursion to escape for a little while, enjoy the break and Live Inspired Now!

I often hear people remark “this or that would make me happy” but will it really make you happy or will it provide comfort? Things do not make us happy, shopping does not make us happy, food does not make us happy, even people do not make us happy. These things do provide comfort though. I catch myself saying it sometimes too. The other day I said “A chocolate brownie would make me so happy.” I quickly retorted with “No, it will not make me happy, I am already happy, but it will provide some comfort right now to my sweet tooth!”
We all know how powerful words are and people talk themselves into believing that they need things to make them happy because they are using the wrong words. Using the right words can help us remember that we ARE happy but as humans we also love to enjoy comforts. So today, use the proper words, don’t give happiness credit to things that are just providing comfort, choose happiness and Live Inspired Now!

We got home last night from our vacation; we had an amazing time with the entire family down on the beach in Outer Banks, North Carolina! Now that I am home, I realize I need a vacation from the vacation! lol. We had so much fun and did so many things that today, I plan to spend the entire day in rest. A day to reflect and enjoy all the memories of the past week. To think about the interesting conversations that I had with family. To smile and wonder how that kite didn’t launch me right off the beach! So many fond moments and I just want to spend the day in quiet gratitude and reflection! So today, or soon… take a vacation from your vacation, spend the day reflecting on your family vacation or your summer fun and Live Inspired Now!

Asthma, Allergies, Hormones, Mood swings… Does someone you know suffer or experience these things on a regular basis. It’s most likely a result of chemicals in your home. Now not all chemicals are bad and often people interchange the word toxic and chemicals all the time. What we are talking about are simple cleaners that many people use each day, products like window cleaner, general purpose cleaner, tub and tile cleaner, laundry products. Many of these cleaners contain ingredients that are linked not only to asthma and allergies, but also some cancers, learning disabilities, ADD, ADHD and other concerns parents have today. The good news is there are products out there that you can not only eliminate the exposure to these toxins/chemicals but also save money. The product that I have been using for over 30 years is Basic H, originally introduced in 1960, it was one of the worlds first biodegradable cleaners. In fact if you compare the cost of a window cleaner, general purpose cleaner and degreaser, the cost would be over $10.00… The cost for those three cleaners using Basic H is less than $0.25.
