My dear friend Karen gave me an amazing basket full of assorted teas for my birthday. The basket also had two custom tea mugs in it with my logo on them! I was blown away… what a very cool gift! The basket was so pretty with all the colorful tea bags and boxes and the “Heather Paris: Live Inspired Now” logo mugs sitting like royalty atop the admiring tea. It just looked so cool that I didn’t want to take anything out of the basket! Finally, after two days to admire my basket, I decided to take it apart so I could proudly drink from my new custom logo mug. Well, I happened to notice something. There was a secret note etched right onto the bottom of the mug that read “Thank you for inspiring me! xo!” I couldn’t believe it…it was like getting another gift! I swear all my friends are in cahoots to make me cry this month!
So today, find a way to include a secret message when you give a gift, put a message somewhere that they won’t notice right away and Live Inspired Now!
You can buy all sorts of custom gifts from my friend Karen at www.wulfcreekdesigns.com She and her husband do amazing work, please check out their site!

I love getting the mail this month! With my birthday and Christmas, most days I find cards in the mailbox and yesterday was no exception. There it was… a lumpy card from my dear friends Peg and Craig and I knew something was in it but had no idea what a wonderful treasure was hiding inside. The star ornament in the picture above was nestled between the pages of a beautifully hand made card with a note about the artist that created the star. This star was hand crafted by “Adede,” who is also known as the “Queen Bead Maker” in her village of Krobo Odumase Nuaso in Ghana, West Africa. The 72 year old woman hand crafts beads from recycled soda and beer bottles. Wow! The personal message included from “Adede” the bead maker was “Your journey starts here.”
I got all teary eyed when I read about my star. It was so amazing to me that this ornament was once in the hands of a villager in West Africa. I wonder if she sat and thought about the people who might receive her work, if she thought they would appreciate it or her message, or if they would admire her craftsmanship. Well I certainly do!
Last year around the same time, I received a package of shimmery silver stars, also from Peg with a card that reminded me that “I was a shining star!” I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends! I know how to inspire others and help them let their light shine but I often forget that I get to shine too! Thank you Peg!
So today, support a not so local artist, buy goods that will support women in other parts of the world, inspire a friend, share your light and love, be a star and Live Inspired Now!

Your human spirit is infinite so don’t do anything to destroy it. Even if you don’t believe your spirit to be infinite; you still have to live with yourself so while you are here, don’t do things that will harden your heart or create walls. Every time you practice hate, jealousy, cruelty or anything that doesn’t spread light and love, you scar yourself. Your infinite spirit was scar free when you were born and the hardship of life causes us to harden but we can focus on love, kindness, empathy and compassion and get back to our true selves. Focus on the things that will heal you and others, things that will express your inner light, avoid people and things that provoke you and encourage your frustrations. Take responsibility for nourishing your human spirit and Live Inspired Now!
