I know I talk about giving all the time and I am going to mention it yet again!!! People ask me “how do you live in abundance?” To which I reply “by giving what you want!” So if you want money, don’t horde it, be more liberal about giving it. If you want love, give love to everyone and anyone, especially people you don’t like. If you want more joy, spread more joy to others! Whatever you want more of, give more of! Kinda sounds counter intuitive I know, but trust me it works. Thad and I are givers, we give time, money, resources, love, support, guidance, friendship and whatever else we can offer. You can give smiles, hugs, encouragement, inspiration, money, love, passion, enthusiasm, gift cards, school supplies, warm clothes, blankets, organs, hair, prayers, meditations and sooooo much more! When you give abundantly and focus only on what you can offer rather than what you need or are lacking, your life becomes overwhelmingly abundant! So today, think about what you have to give, give it freely, accept a life of abundance and Live Inspired Now!

School is almost here and many kids will go to school without the supplies they need. There are lots of ways to donate school supplies but my favorite is to just buy them and drop them at the school. You can also send them in with your kids and let them know that we are sending in all the extras for other kids who might not have what they need. That is a good opportunity for the kids to make a contribution and learn the gift of giving. So however you do it, buy a bunch of school supplies and donate them to under privileged children and Live Inspired Now!

Life is about discovery! Be a conscientious observer of life and your surroundings. When Thad and I were in Montana, I discovered so many things, both serious and some really wacky but I realized that it is fun to make clear observations and really understand the environment around you. So these are a few of our observations from our 10 day honeymoon in Montana:
1 I love huckleberry pie
2 Black bears love peanut butter
3 Vortex’s make me vomit
4 It is totally fun to heckle goats
5 Mountain goats are really brave
6 Trains in MT look just like trains in NY
7 I want to start collecting meditating frog statues
8 Bear spray is really expensive
9 Mosquito’s are a much bigger threat than bears and the store won’t give you a refund on unused bear spray
10 At 5050 feet, roads are still snowy and impassible in June
11 Wrong turns take way longer to undo in MT
12 Homeless rams know how to panhandle tourists for food
13 It would be nice to have a muscle on the back of my head that allowed my hair to swat flies
14 There are still payphones in MT and many places with NO cell service
15 The people in MT think they are the only ones who have huckleberries

Touch is so important, every human on earth needs to be touched, to have a sense of closeness and to stimulate the tactile sense. Scientists have found that regular physical touching can lower stress, high blood pressure and cortisol as well as boost the immune system! There is also the research from the 40’s that proved when infants are held and cuddled they thrive but when they were in an over crowded orphanage and didn’t get picked up and held, they often died.
Touch comes in many forms; massage, hugs, intimacy with a partner, snuggling, holding hands, foot rubs or even exploring your own body. So today, touch your partner, hug or snuggle your kids, get a massage or just rub you own feet, enjoy the tactile sensation and Live Inspired Now!

Last night I hosted a Women’s Empowerment Workshop with a firewalk at my home. It was amazing and my 2 older girls (Mattie 14, Madison 17) participated in the workshop. They broke boards with their hands, snapped arrows with their necks, they did a trust fall where they fell off of a table into the safe arms of the group and then walked on fire! My amazing husband Thad was a “crew member,” he ran the music and set everything up. My son Ethan was also crew, he helped pass out materials and showed people where the bathroom was.
The girls were so beyond proud of themselves for doing the challenges! They had a whole new perspective on life after the workshop! They were full of love and gratitude and very empowered! We all really bonded even more as a family. We all supported and encouraged one another through really scary challenges which is always good for team building. It was a truly amazing night!! I would suggest to everyone that they engage in activities that can create even stronger family bonds. Go zip lining together or do a firewalk, or even go on a long bike excursion, but spend time doing things together. Things that you have to encourage one another to get through and spend time caring for each other. So today, find a family bonding activity to engage in and Live Inspired Now!
