The sooner we realize that we control nothing in this world except ourselves, the sooner we find happiness! People spend so much time in their personal relationships trying to change other people. Trying to change the feelings of their lover, wishing their boss would be more appreciative, attempting to prove to co-workers that they know better, manipulating friends out of guilt, or even using emotional blackmail against children or parents. NONE of these behaviors will truly change another person, it will however damage or in many cases, sever the relationship.
If you don’t like the way things look, change the way YOU look at them. You are the only person responsible for the way you view things and the way you treat other people. If you are constantly trying to change others, you can’t truly appreciate them. Change the way you look at things, find ways to appreciate and encourage. Find ways to look at things in a new light, with a new perspective. You have a lot to offer the world and so does everyone else. If you can’t find a way to appreciate another person, walk away, it is not your responsibility to change them. Change the way you look at the world, find ways to be appreciative and Live Inspired Now!

My whirlwind life has not slowed down at all…. lately, busier than ever! Summer is here, 4 kids at home and we are in the process of moving to a new home. I have been thinking a lot lately about the process of getting things done and how stressful it can be… if we let it. Hectic doesn’t have to mean unhappy. You can survive and even thrive in chaos if you get your attitude straight about it. So in the midst of moving, MOMMMM….., dog surgery, new goats arriving, MOM I NEED THIS……., packing, cleaning, MOM I NEED THAT…….., serving clients, laundry, MOM MY FAVORITE SHIRT IS AT THE NEW HOUSE…….., driving kids around, organizing and donating, working with my book publisher……… OK OK… you get it… it’s busy! lol. All that chaos would have killed me years ago but I am doing pretty well staying present and enjoying the process.
As I pack, I think about being one step closer to living in my new dream home with my family. As the kids beckon me, I think about how much space they will have once we have moved. As the dog recovers, I think about all the acres he will have to run around on. As I drive to see clients, I think about the new home office that will allow me to see clients in my home. My mantra these days is “Enjoy the process; otherwise, you are living for the future and missing the present.” The process has become much more enjoyable knowing that I am happy in the present while I am working toward something in the future!
If you are doing something you just can’t enjoy, acknowledge it but stay present in the process, knowing that it leads you to something better. The process of getting to your next goal or step in life is often more fun than arriving so enjoy the process and Live Inspired Now!

My Grandma Bea used to say “Every day that I wake up and have a dollar for a cup of coffee and gas money… I am good!” She loved to wake up early each day and drive to the cafe to have a coffee with her friends; she did this until her last day. I loved hanging out with my Grandma because she was crazy!! lol. She knew how to have fun, she made the most of every moment, and she was never embarrassed to be herself. I always admired her and probably got some of my zest for life from her.
My grandma loved extravagant furnishings… gold wall paper and white furry rugs. She also loved to drive and never missed a chance to take a road trip… long or short.
What have you always wanted to do? What excuse is holding you back and are you ready to let go of it yet? The fact is, the only guarantee in life is death so make the most of it while you can! What have you been saying “no” to? What have you been too embarrassed to try or wear? LIVE IT UP MY FRIENDS!!! Take a lesson from my Grandma…. live life to the fullest and never let anyone tell you what you should wear, say, think, believe, feel, or do!
Today, I am off to finish painting my office. I am entering a painting contest and my office wall is my creative submission. My wall has hot pink, black, the word INSPIRE, waves and stripes… and, why not! I LOVE it… so what if it’s a little bold! (I will post a picture here when it’s done.)
So today… I hope you will be creative or do something you have always been too shy to try or too intimidated to pull off. Life is short, live and play like it’s you last day! Do things you love, enjoy every magic moment and Live Inspired Now!
