Simple Things

          ​"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise see them." (found on Pinterest)
This year I decided to record the simple but special moments that happen each day.  I thought it would be a good reminder of what is important and what makes me smile or laugh or think or cry throughout the year.  The days go by so quickly and I believe it is important to find ways to help them to slow down and this is one that is working for me.  

This habit has helped me to remember that it is the simple things that bring me happiness. If I only wait for the big moments (and I do hope to experience them) I will be missing so much of what is important.  It is the laughter of friends, the sounds of the voices of loved ones, the simple questions of concern and caring that matter to me.  It's the sunlight on the kitchen table, a beautiful sky, or the flowers that I never thought would grow beginning to thrive.  

Yesterday was a very ordinary day.  No great highs, no great lows and to be honest I was not really looking for a special moment.  But it found me.  As I went to turn out the lights to go to bed, I took one last look at the newly organized pantry and feel a moment of great satisfaction.  It was a simple but special moment that I'm not sure I would have recognized if it had not been for my greater appreciation of the simple but very special things that happen throughout the day.

I hope that you will join me in appreciating the simple things each day.  It truly makes each and every day special.

It is amazing how fast the time goes.  Another year, another birthday and lots of time to reflect upon what's next.  This month I had one of those big birthdays.  One that you are glad you reached but on the other hand one that makes you think this can't be true.  It was just yesterday that I was a teenager.  But I know that in fact it was a lot of yesterdays.

I believe in looking for the positive and I've begun to really search for women who are older than I am who are living a full happy life.  I was watching a video the other day of a 96 year old woman who just won a swimming competition in the over 65 age group.  She was not only physically strong but she had such a good outlook on life just as she should. She said that one of the things she does every day was look for life's "little miracles" and she said that she always finds them.

I call them special moments.  She calls them little miracles.  No matter what we call them we will know them when see or feel or touch or experience them.  It's fun looking for and embracing the special moments each day.  It's fun sharing them with others as I do on my Facebook page.  And if it helps me to win life's competitions until I am 96 or older it is just that much more important.  I hope that you will experience your own special moment or little miracle today.  And I hope you will share it with us.

            When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin.

Keep It Simple

 I began the new year with lots of projects and ideas.  But I forgot one thing.  What works for me.  It's keeping things simple and completing one thing before moving on to another. So after just ten days, I'm stepping back and reevaluating all of the goals I have set for myself.

 It's good to remember what has worked for you in the past.  For me it is keeping things simple, appreciating the small steps that I have taken, and then celebrating the finished product or project.  What works for you?

           When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!

If you are curious about working with a creativity coach, now would be a good time to see what it is like.  I always offer a free session so we can get to know each other before we start. Send me an email today and let the magic begin for you.

Happy New Year

 I thought it would be fun to begin the New Year by writing and posting something on my blog.  Since this is the year of writing my book, I thought it would be appropriate to start off the year writing something at midnight.

 Last year I chose a phrase for my word of the year.  It was Living Joyfully which has served me well.  I looked for joy each day and found it in the most surprising ways.  I am not ready to give up that phrase but I have added something to it.  This year’s phrase will be Living Joyfully with Courage and Confidence.  This was a year of learning about my new life.  Next year will be about moving forward with courage and confidence.  It will be a time to continue to try new things and to move out of my comfort zone more and more.  Writing a book will be just one of the new things that I will tackle with joy, with courage, and with confidence. 

I have enjoyed choosing a word of the year.  It is something that I can go to when making a decision.  Will this (whatever this may be) bring more joy into my life?  Does this take courage?  If so, how can I do it anyway with confidence?  Small questions, just like small steps, can lead to a world filled with adventure and opportunities.

Do you choose a word to act as a touchstone?  If not, it may be something that you would like to try this year.  If you do, I would love to know what your word is.  The best thing about choosing a word is that you can always change it if it does not work for you or if you need to use something else.  Living a creative life and creating the life you want to live means you are in charge.  What a great way to begin the New Year.

I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year.  It will be wonderful to see what exciting adventures 2016 has in store for all of us.
