Where am I looking?

I’m a believer in good things and I cannot look at bad things without hurting myself. – Abraham-Hicks

Stay Happy by Choice

…the secret to all success is keeping yourself happy.

Light Seeker

There are two ways of spreading light:
To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Responsible for my joy

Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses.  - George Washington Carver

Happy Anniversary!

And we both know, that our love will grow

And I will love you so for always
Come with me my sweet
Let’s go make […]

“When you become all that you desire,
you will have all that you desire.”

Today’s joy focus is your Favorite Item. So, first you need to spend a little time thinking about “What is my favorite thing that I have?”
Last night I attended a dinner, and the hostess asked us all to bring our […]

Day 11 - Mom

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
Today is Mother’s day, so - of course - our joy focus is MOM!
We all have a mother, and many have more than one mother figure. I invite you to […]

I am in awe!

If you don’t believe in miracles, then you are not being realistic.
- Bernie Siegel
