Thought of the Day - Happiness

I subscribe to this website called TUT, thanks to a cutie patootie friend who told me about the daily inspirational messages they send to your email.

I look forward to each inspirational message every single day and today's was an interesting one... I liked it.

Here it is:

Neither a promotion, losing weight, finding a soul mate, writing a book, nor becoming a billionaire, GiGi, will ensure happiness. Nothing ensures happiness. No destination is great enough. No dream come true will do. Because happiness, dear GiGi, that's not present at the start of a journey will not be present at its end. Après vous, The Universe

Somethin' to think about...

Have A HAPPY DAY!

Soul Beads - Bracelets of the Day - PEACE

Peace: a state of harmony characterized by the lack of violent conflict and the freedom from fear of violence...

That's peace according to Wikipedia... but what is peace according to you?

Silence in my mind. Calmness in my heart. Being completely in the moment. Worries washing away with the tides. Warmth in my soul. My feet in the earth. Fear so far away I can't even grasp it. That's my peace.

I realized after a creative spurt came over me yesterday that I was gravitating towards creating bracelets that represented peace and happiness... This is what came out of those juices...

ENJOY XO

Soul Beads - Bracelet(s) of the Day...

So, in my spare time, I've been making these bracelets for my friends and fam... The idea initially was to make bracelets with Elephant Charms to help raise money to get me to Thailand to volunteer on the Elephant Refuges... and it's ended up me making these beautiful, meaningful pieces for my friends and family with all sorts of charms and stones... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MAKING THEM!!!

Bracelet on the Left - Angel Skin Coral with Tree of Life - Coral represents emotional/spiritual balance and protection against evil eye. The Tree of Life signifies that every living thing in the Universe is connected.

Middle Bracelet - Turquoise with Buddha & Karma - Turquoise is a healing and strengthening stone. Buddha signifies enlightenment, love, presence & Karma signifies what we reap we will sow.

Bracelet on the Right - Rose Quartz with Triple Feather - Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love and infinite peace. The three feathers represent Hope, Faith & Love.

I make every bracelet with the highest intention of positivity and good fortune for anyone who wears it and I love every single piece with all of my heart :)

Honestly, I wish people would really understand this... I really really wish... It's the food we eat that makes us ill OR cures us...

And on that note I need to throw out my whipped cream... and my gelato...

Something I've been thinking about... Success is not always having any job that makes money... It's not working your ass off to pay your bills... It's not taking whatever you can get to get by...

It's doing what you love. Being with people who love you. Waking up everyday with a smile. Sleeping through the night without anxiety. Feeling peace in your heart. Having absolute perfect health. That, to me, is the success I strive toward.

Don't judge me or anyone because we don't fit your version of success... Help them reach their goals and support them through their own journey.

Feed Your Spirit - Awaken

I'm drawn to this site called Soulseeds, which I read almost everyday, and today I read a really amazing post on Spiritual Awakenings. I read the symptoms of those who have had an awakening and can only dream of one day feeling the same way....

Check out the 12 symptoms of a Spiritual Awakening... I love these........

1. An increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.

2. Frequent attacks of joy, unexplained smiling and random bursts of laughter.

3. Feelings of being closely connected with others and nature.

4. Frequent overwhelming, almost dizzying, episodes of appreciation.

5. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears based on past experience

6. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

7. A loss of ability to worry.

8. A loss of desire for conflict.

9. A loss of interest in taking things personally.

10. A loss of appetite for drama and judgment.

11. A loss of interest in judging yourself.

12. Prone to give love without expecting anything in return.

Sounds pretty amazing eh?

Now, to only figure out how to get there........... Hours of yoga? A ton of meditation? Lots of prayer? Always being aware of my thoughts? Whatever the path is, I hope we all can find it.......

I was resting in my final pose in yoga class today and my teacher read this beautiful Apache Blessing... I loved it with all my heart....

"May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life..."

They say you should do a daily Karma Cleanse (*adds to my list of cleanses)... But in truth, it makes sense....

All the things you want in life, give to others... GOOD WAY TO LIVE...

I'll add to this amazing list:

*show compassion

*be honest and truthful in all you do and say

*give something to any living thing in need

HAPPY MONDAY XO
