Most do not want to think about what they will leave behind. So instead of looking at it from death, ask yourself are you living your legacy today? Are you doing what you desire to be remembered for? Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, death is inevitable. It's going to occur at some point in your life.  And what's interesting is how we perceive ourselves after death...the legacy we leave behind. The question comes up, how do you want to be remembered? Here in the United States we are mourning the passing of Former First Lady Nancy Reagan (1921-March 6, 2016), wife to President Ronald Reagan. She was a classy woman who loved and served with passion. And her greatest passion was her husband, President Reagan. They fell in love in Hollywood, and life was never the same. In fact, she was truly living her legacy! Now with her passing, we celebrate her legacy! What if we turned the tables and asked ....  What is your living legacy? Would you even know how to respond? Or are you simply going through the motio

There are so many choices in life. And when it comes specifically you, you must make some decisions. How to be a leader in your life?

Do you see yourself as a leader? You are! Yet for some reason, we don't always see ourselves as such unless it is followed by a title. You are a leader! As a mom, a teacher, an attorney, a physician, a day care provider, as a wife, as a woman. You are designed to be a leader in your life.  "In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.

Bad days happen whether you wish them to or not. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to change a bad day? Then you would change a bad day into a good day. What is the definition of a bad day? It is different for each person, each family, each situation. There is no set definition as to why you have a bad day. Maybe it's in your genes. Maybe it's a choice.  Regardless, having a bad day is no fun no matter how you look at it. So whether it is split milk, the children who set you off, traffic, a disagreement with your spouse, a bad hair day, a missed bill payment, or an unexpected incident, you can turn it around.  So how do you change a bad day into a good day? The K.I.S.S. ~ Look for the GOOD in the opportunity of the bad! GIVE. Go give a hug. Reach out and touch someone. GRATITUDE. Be grateful for what you have, where you are. GRACE. Give yourself grace. You are not expected to be perfect. GO. Go groove and move your body. This moves you forward. Would love to hear what you are working on. Send your challenges

How would your schedule reflect what is important to you? Practice makes you everyday. So what are your practicing? How are you living? Welcome to Sweet Spirit, a self-reflective day just for you! As your day gets more jammed packed with stuff to do, when do you give yourself the reflective time you deserve to see if you are living the life you desire? Take some time for you. The CHALLENGE: Are you living the life you want? Are you leading the kind of life you desire? You have heard the statement, "practice makes perfect". There is no "perfect". Instead, practice makes you! Are you practicing what kind of life you desire on a daily basis? You don't have to be perfect; you just must be willing to practice! It's easy to get consumed by others expectations, influences and choices. Then the decision and action is made based on their expectations.  How does this make any sense? This is YOUR life! When you stop dreaming, you stop living. So what are you dreaming for your life? Practice makes you. This is your time

As your day comes full circle, there will be moments when you don't know what to do. Give your day a wink!  Challenges, whether good or bad, do not always give us a happy feeling. It can put you on edge and send your nerves into overtime. What can you do to slow down and breathe peace into your moment? A strong woman (or man) looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink. You can handle any challenge. It's allowing yourself the path to calmness and a "wink" of solitude to absorb the challenge and take the next step.

When the moment comes and you aren't sure what to do, be your sunshine. Smile and then respond.

You feel like screaming, pulling your hair out, crying and even laughing hysterically. And who gets the bite, the hurt? The ones you love most. Frustration can be dreadful to anyone and especially the ones receiving the wrath of the frustration. Busting through frustration can happen and you can stop the cycle.

What if you had one more day? Today, you have an extra 24 hours to do what you desire. How will you spend that time this year? The most complaints in scheduling is having no time or not enough time in the day. The other one is, "I'm too busy.". With the gift of a leap year, you have a bonus of 24 hours.  How would you like to spend those extra 24 hours over the rest of the year? What dreams do you have that you want to revive and renew? Most of us do not see a leap year as BONUS. But it's just that, 366 days in the year. So by the end of the year, think of how much more you can accomplish.  This is you year to...

Today the question is ... What are you holding on to? What burden are you carrying that needs to be surrendered? When you hold on to things, situations, and moments that we don't have control of, but we THINK we have control when we hold on! However, it's holding you down. The ball and chain effect. You are drowning in your own situation. What must happen as strange as it sounds, holding on only stifles living. You need to live in order to grow, prosper and flourish. And yes, God desires that for you! You must be willing to do the work. So what are you holding on to that must be let go? This is your life. Would you rather hold on to the good or be shackled by the bad? It's your choice. What do you choose today?

Have you ever had the urge to eat a certain food at a certain time? Or maybe do an activity specific to your interests? What cravings and habits have in common will surprise you. Not only does cravings not just deal in food, but habits are more than brushing your teeth twice a day. A CRAVING is a powerful desire for something. And it does not have to be related to food. A HABIT is a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up. Can a craving be hard to give up; is a habit powerful enough for you to continue to do it?  YES! YES!! YES!!! Both are controlled actions, reactions and responses by the mind. It's a pattern (a loop) that puts much of what we do on autopilot.  Are you living your life on autopilot?

Did you wake up feeling beautiful? And not from the outside. Embrace your beauty, the beauty of your heart! "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." ~ Jim Rohn What do your reactions reflect behind closed doors? Does your heart shine, or is it an area that you need to work on? For some, it's an area where we are quicker to spew words of outward reactions, not inward ones...the heart. "But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his heart, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." ~ 1 Samuel 16:7 Allow your heart to shine through. This is your time! The K.I.S.S. ~ Heart Check!
