Angelique – Sooo Happy and Excited!
I’m sooo freakin happy and excited! It feels like I’m climbing a mountain. Elevating myself to a new higher level of awesome. Yeah sure I’m really sick right now, completely single and things are perfect or exactly the way I wish them to be but feels like so what cause right now everything feels perfect and only getting better. I’m living in the now. I started doing stuff off of my Bucket List I’ve always wanted to do. I have my dog who is my bff. A job I enjoy and isn’t perfect and I don’t know whats gonna happen but I’m so focused on enjoying right now that I finally found a way to shut up my over loaded overly analytic brain. I’m enjoying making myself happy cause first and for most thats what matters most. Everyday I go to work and leave with a giant smile on my face and I totally mean it! I feel like things are falling into place I’m focused and in control, making stuff happen. I’m creating. I have clarity. I’m brave enough to take the leap not knowing what will happen. I know exactly specific what sort of life I want, who I aim to be and what sort of people I wish to share my life with….In short LIFE IS FREAKIN’ AWESOME…WHY? because thats how I feel right now. I could think it to death focusing on the pros and cons but I won’t because it feels like my Heart is finally leading the way and my heart just says climb, jump and enjoy no worries. I am alive and blessed with many gifts. I love myself, my family and friends and my many blessings. Sometimes it’s the small things in life that makes you smile. Like I said LIFE IS FREAKIN’ I don’t need a reason to feel that way :o) I’m worthy of greatness because I am full of greatness.
Heather: Football, Family, Food!
Went to a sports bar with Arden, Julianna and John. It was a celebration of three fs: football, family and food! (I must confess, it was mostly about the last two f’s for me. lol) I ordered an awesome arugula, dried cranberry and goat cheese salad, a souped up tex mex veggie burger with mozzarella cheese, avocado, jalapeños, ranch dressing and BBQ sauce which paired beautifully with a glass of Chardonnay! Both my heart and belly are full! Life is good! 🙂
Heather: Charm & Romance
Saturday night -Romantic dinner at a charming restaurant with my beau; Sunday night – a short, yet intimate visit with his parents ; This morning- ab workout to Chopra Meditation, then, after conferring with my ex husband, mother and sister, finally hit submit on a multi item, holiday order; Just now – a tasty and nourishing lunch of vegan, savory, fall stew, sun shining on my face through the kitchen window. I am thankful for the all the rich flavors and colors and the warmth of the sun in the quiet of my space. ♥

Heather: Thanksgiving Sizzle
Mom put everything but the kitchen sink in a bag for me to take home from Thanksgiving! I was surprised and thankful upon unpacking all the goodies! Today, I am thankful for the left over chocolate chip pumpkin cake that my sister made. It went from being a proud offering at our family Holiday dessert buffet to a special little breakfast just for me! My own piece of Thanksgiving to start the day! Delicious! 🙂 ♥
Debbie: More Sparkles
James: The Secret
I have read a few pages of the book 《The Secret》
I did not buy it.
All the stories in the book were about the same – You think about what you want, and you get it.
I went to a training session to sell retirement plan. I was asked to talk to strangers without fear.
I was walking on the wooden beach board this morning as usual. Today I felt lonely when I saw people passing by talking to each other. When I sat on the bench at the end of the beach board for a break, I was thinking about getting a walking partner but did not think of any possible person. When I stood up to walk back to the entrance, I saw a lady turning around and walked in front of me. Her walking speed just matched mine. She was the perfect candidate. Others may walk too fast for me to catch up with, or too sexy for me to approach, or too old to sell retirement plan to… I wished I could talk to her but I did not know what to say.
I was just thinking and had no intention to take any action. I thought the thought would be gone in a few seconds and made no difference in life. Obviously I was wrong because I forgot about the book <The Secret> Suddenly a sound like explosion happened right in front of me. A heavy shell was dropped by the two seagulls fighting for it. I was scared and made a noise. I don’t know who sent the seagulls here? I don’t know who read my mind? Anyway the lady turned around and talked to me. And I will walk with her when I see her next time.
The theory in <The Secret> seemed to be true. I just got what I thought of without making any effort.
She said that I should buy lottery ticket since I had special luck. I won’t do that because all the wishes in my mind that morning had already come true.
Cory: Warrior
Everyone struggles in life, but it is how you handle those challenges that determines whether you are a survivor or not. Those struggles test your strength and resolve, and offer growth opportunities as a person. It’s one thing to be floored by a major catastrophe, but whether you choose to remain down, and play the victim, or get back up and fight is true a testament to your character.
Are you a warrior, or will you accept defeat on the battlefield of life?
Debbie: A Torrid Love Affair (A Riddle)
On Tuesday morning, I engage in a torrid love affair with you. Â Â Our interaction is a tornado of intensity, a whirlpool of emotions, all swirled into a cup of chocolate love. Without you, my eyes become dull, and my back becomes hunched. I am nothing but a girl who has lost the livelihood from her very eyes. This trail of loneliness is too much to bear; it is then I long for the juices of creation; I sing a silent song for you in my head, a dim melody of dread. Â When the kiss of your bitter sweetness reaches my lips, I become a Christmas tree that lights up – you are, Â again, back in my arms – Â my charm, my lover, my magic potion of winsome love. Without you, my trail of giggles are nothing but an effervescent addiction to transience. The weekends are a different love story. I rendezvous with other elixir-like passions, concoctions of berries and sherries. However, the man of my dreams is right beside me, there to cater to my every whim. It is on that fateful Saturday morning that I learned to let you go…fully realizing all over again, that I no longer long for you, no longer need you… I am finally free from your possessive grasp.
Unexpectedly, you come alive in my heart again on Monday morning.
(This is a riddle)
Steve: Fountain of Youth!
Another day or year older tomorrow doesn’t make a difference to me. As long as you maintain a proper diet and exercise regularly, anyone can defying the aging process. Words to live by…”Live Life to The Fullest!!!”
