I'm in Vancouver right now and they just lit BC Place blue and orange the day before the Cup Final. The Oilers are really uniting the nation💙🧡

The house feels too quiet, a hollow echo where once tiny feet danced. I miss the sticky fingerprints on the fridge, the whispered stories before bedtime and the boundless, joyful chaos they brought .My heart aches for their giggles and the way they’d climb into my lap.

Every action is either weak or strong. When every action is strong, you are acting in a certain way, which will make you rich. Every act can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while you are doing it and putting the whole power of your faith and purpose .

We all need to align with our true calling and feelings. When we tap into that power, we unlock our true potential embracing that power takes self reflection and courage. A really great book by Jalene Murphy is “Modern Day Courage” Where she talks about looking deep inside!

Questions are a very good beginning. They often challenge us to think and to live in many new ways. Sometimes another person will pose a query. At other times, we asked the question, and still at other times, the question seems to have a divine origin.

Unconsciously, we are forming habits every moment of our lives. Some of these habits are of a desirable nature, some of those are of a most undesirable nature. Some, though not so bad in themselves, are exceedingly bad in their cumulative effects, and cause us at times much loss, much pain, and anguish, while the opposites, on the contrary, bring as much peace and joy, as well as an continually increasing power. have we it within our power to determine at all times what types of habits shall take form in our lives? In other words, is it habit forming, character building, a matter of chance, or have we It within our own control? We have, entirely and absolutely.” I will be what I will to be.” can be sad and should be said by every human soul.

Everybody dreams, even people who claim they don’t. Often, dreams are related to what the person did during the day before falling asleep. These dreams are usually unimportant, and the person forgets them within seconds of waking up. Other dreams are more important, especially if they reoccur. These come from the dreamers subconscious mind and provide insight into the person and their life. Dreams speak to us in symbols, which is how the subconscious mind expresses itself. Sometimes the symbols are obvious, but they usually need to be interpreted. And paper, or some form of recording device, beside your bed. This enables you to record your memories as soon as you wake up.you need to do this before you even get out of bed.

“At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.” Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo has always inspired me whether it was her self portraits, her flower crowns, her tumultuous but resilient history, course, those clothes! With her colorful style, dramatic, self portraits, painful, backstory, and her verve for life, Frida Kahlo remains a modern icon, captivating And inspiring artist, feminist, art, lovers, and me for more than 60 years after her death. She endured her stormy marriage to the love of her life, Diego Rivera. she also had strong political views, and a deep belief in the healing power of art. I always found her spirit showed her fascination with nature and the popular culture of Mexico. There is so much we can learn from individuals that have so much turmoil in their life.” nothing is absolute, everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” Photography @grantolsenphotography

One of my favorite ways to show trust every day is to notice and recognize when somebody follows through on a promise. Often, we reward people with thanks and gratitude when they surprise us with a nice gesture. When your partner prepares you a delicious dinner that you really didn’t expect and you keep on the gratitude. We do, the same when they do something that they almost rarely do. But trust comes with quiet reliability. What about the partner who makes us dinner every day regularly we should show our appreciation then for the effort that they make every single day. Because the more you rewarded, the more they’ll repeat it. And in building their trust in us, it’s the same thing as showing up.

When there’s a disparity between what attracts your partner and what you love about yourself, you may struggle to live up to your partners vision First, you need to make a list of what you love about yourself and the qualities you are most proud of and try to steer clear of the opulences. Do you find that you’re kind, caring, hard-working, creative, grateful, honest, flexible, and reliable. Then define your long-term definition of a relationship and the qualities that you think another person would see and appreciating you. It’s important that you build a relationship where you are loved for what you love in yourself.

We tend to base success in relationships on how long they last, but their actual value lies, and how much we can learn and how much we can grow from them. If we understand that, we can examine the choices that we’ve made, and figure out why we picked a person, And then decide what went wrong, and develop a better sense of who we would pick and whether we need to change anything for the next time What energy were you in when you chose to be with your ex? Why did you end it Learn from it, because you need to do something different the next time

Did you ever notice that in general, grateful people are happier, healthier, less stress, less depressed, and more satisfied with their lives and their relationships. Grateful people sleep better worry less and more.

A big mistake. A lot of people make while of suing their dreams is living in looking out for number one culture instead of serving others. I’m not saying that we should all be philanthropist and fly off to save the whales or rainforest, but there’s something very very powerful about helping others along your journey. In my own right, I found that this approach to success is incredibly empowering and highly rewarding at the same time. You see I’m a great believer that whatever energy you put out will come back to you sharing positive energy creates ripple effects in the world. If you’ve got something valuable to offer the world that improves a lot of peoples lives in someway, then your success is in evitable. When you add value, people will literally path to your door and practically be you take money. I guarantee it.

How do you raise your vibrational energy? The world around you, even the universe itself, is humming, pulsating, and reverberating with a secret melody. And it’s this inherent rhyme that’s the essence of vibrational energy Everything including the chair you’re sitting on, the air breathing, every selling your body is in perpetual motion, vibrating at different frequencies. It’s one of the 12 universal laws, the law of vibration. And it’s what we recognize as energy Quantum physicists have long argued that everything, at its core is energy. This energy this vibration, has both high and low frequencies, each impacting us differently. Tuning into this higher awareness, gives you a very awesome guidance. They are not miracle coincidences. They are your bodies way of acknowledging and resonating with the positive positive and negative energy frequencies. You can use vibrational energy to attract what you want in your life. Self healing and spiritual growth have a lot to do with vibrational energy. But that’s not all it’s also a powerful tool for manifestation. After all the universe response to frequencies. And by aligning yourself with your desires, you set the stage for serendipities.
