Uncommon Gratitude

"I am grateful for sisters!" Cher,Tess & Roe, Ann Arbor Art Fair!

Whatever trouble or problems you are experiencing today know that you will find solutions. You will survive. You have solved problems in the past and by using your gifts, your talents, wisdom and help from those you trust. You will continue to do the same in the future.

Aren't you ssssoooo grateful for that?

Be grateful for the people you depend on to help you solve your problems.

Be thankful for your problems. They help you to grow, trust, reach out and become a better person.

Become thankful for the opportunity to reinvent yourself. If something no longer works in your life you have the freedom to do something different.

Appreicate the availability of gasoline even though it's not the price you want it to be.

Be thankful for difficult people. They give you an opportunity to rise higher.

Be thankful for the elderly population. They have paved the road for you. Because of them your life is easier.

Be thankful for yourself and all you have done for others. The world wouldn't be the same without you.

Become grateful for all the love in your life and the opportunity to share it with others.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi

The economy is scary, the war is heating up and many people are depressed. It's easy to focus on the negative. It's easy to whine and complain that life's not fair.

It's easy to point a finger and blame others. And I believe that at times everyone does some of these things and that's human.

I believe the answers to our personal problems and worldly problems all come from within ourselves. There are things each and everyone of us can do. The question is are we willing to do our part?

Everyone is likely to be involved in a personal war with someone and everyone would like a better income less stress and more happiness.

The following is a quiz to evaluate how you are "being & doing" in the world. The personal changes you make within yourself effect everyone. When you are tempted to believe there is no hope for yourself or your world I suggest you make one tiny change. It will have a ripple effect.

*You can refrain from complaining most of the time

*Refuse to condemn or criticize

*Let go and let God...for the next 24 hours

*Be happy for the success of others

*Do something creative and relax

*Grieve your losses and move on

*Choose to have inner peace

*Forgive someone today

*Leave someone a generous tip

*Pray

*See the good in others and ignore their flaws

*Go out of your way to help one person today

We have the power to make the world a better place at least for the people around us.

This will have a ripple effect that will touch the lives of people we will never know.

Don't ever give up hope and have faith!

I still have a couple of dates open if anyone is interested in having a Silpada

( silver jewelry) "Girls Night Out." You can earn free jewlery for the holidays!

Or...
Are you looking for a unique fundraising idea to earn cash for your child's team?

How about your child's school?

Your favorite Charity or your church?

Rather than ask for a cash donation, consider hostessing a Silpada Show or doing a Book Show.

You can earn Cash instead of Free Jewelry!
