Every time I walk out in the rain, I remember Gene Kelly SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. 
 
The song brings so much joy and love to my heart, and yes I even danced it a number of times.  Never able to dance like Gene Kelly, but my heart does it perfect.  I was just thinking about that song with all the rain we have had the last few days.  I know for some they feel sad and upset with the rain, and I always ask why. 
 
Its just like all of life, we can get upset over stuff all the time or look for the good in events.  I see it all the time, the people who always talk about issues seem to get more issues.  I have issues too, but I work hard to resolve them and focus on joy and love.  This does not stop the issues completely, but it sure does change my joy and love in my life. 
 
Now back to that wonderful song… Look at these lyrics
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain
 
Now go out there and sing in the rain..
 
Much joy and love to you and yours

Don’t just dream about things, set new desires and push to reach them.

What amazes me is how as children we raise the bar every year.  In fact I have heard older children tell younger ones that is baby stuff wait to you get to my level.  Every year they set new desires in all areas of life, and truly believe they will reach them and they do.

​Then you have adults who push the kids, but stop raising the bar.  They settle for what they have or even sink down to new levels.  They settle into a job and just work their 8 hours, they settle in their relationships and accept the way it is.  Why.

Let’s raise that bar and reach for the stars.  Let’s push to be the best.  Let’s celebrate life, and stop setting and complaining.  Oh the days maybe hard and you feel like giving up, but don’t.  Find that one bright spot in the day and celebrate it.  Set the bar high in all parts of life and move forward.  I do believe the key to raising the bar is to start with joy and love.  I know for a fact when you find joy and love you have more energy and can reach our new desires.

Now let’s get out there and do it.

Much joy and love to you and yours 

Yes, 26 years ago my son Ryan came into this world.

​Just to think when I brought Ryan home he had four older brothers, and two were very close to his age. 

They were just 2 and 3, now I had another baby in the home.  Talking about taking over, Ryan was so quick to get noticed.  He grew up quick and was never worried about talking to people or putting things into action.  One summer the three boys decided to make some money, so they let Ryan go to the door ask for a job to cut grass or wash the car.  How could you turn down such a cute boy.  When he got the job the other boys jumped to action. 

That is always the way of Ryan he is always willing to help in any way.  I believe he has given more rides to the other kids, than I have.  He is just there to support everyone.  He helps them, he plays with them and together they all have so much fun.  He is such a wonderful son, not just from what he does, it more about watch how he gives his love and joy to everyone he meets. 

Happy Birthday, Ryan enjoy the day. 

Much Joy and Love to you and yours

Right in this very moment exist infinity.

​We have all been told for years to focus in the Now, but for most they don’t understand what that really means.  Let me share with you the very first time I was in the moment.

For me this occurred as I was meditating one morning.  I was relaxing to some music and closed my eyes and tried to seek the moment.  As I tried this voice in my head keep bringing up so many things the past, the future, my worries, and the list goes on.  Finally I just said, shut up I am trying to hear nothing.  I wanted to hear the sound of silence.  It was kind of funny, it was like I was talking to a child and telling them to stop talking.  Finally the voice stopped, and I was not hearing anything or thinking about anything.  Visions of joy and love opened up for me and I was looking at another world.  It was like watching a movie, I felt loved and welcomed to this new space in time. 

After that first time I have repeated this experience and often created new stories to share with others.  All of my books are written from those visions of the present moment. 

Give it a try it truly is an amazing journey and eye opening moment.

Much joy and love to you and yours
 

If you get what you focus on, focus on fabulous.

​Clear your mind and home of stuff you don’t want. Then fill it with wonders of joy and love.  Let your fabulous dreams come out and fill your life with joy and love.

The other day everyone was talking about what they were planning for the three day weekend.  Some were going camping, one guy said he was going to sleep the entire weekend, and another was not sure what he was going to do he just knew he would be too busy.  I had to stop him on that one, let me see you are single, not dating, still living with your parents, don’t work two jobs, or taking courses, how in the world can you be too busy. I stopped myself there and said you don’t need to tell me anything, however, let me give you some advice. 

Start out your day by quieting your mind, meditate for just 15 minutes.  He yelled I don’t have time to meditate.  I told him he needs to remove that word busy from his vocabulary.  You are so busy doing things you don’t get anything completed.  When you clear your mind of the talk and allow joy and love to come in, your world will change. 

Then I told him the next step is to remove junk from his life.  Clear out the junk to make room for new wonderful things.  When you only focus on the current stuff you miss out on the fabulous joys coming your way.  Open your mind to having it all and enjoying every day.  Just look at nature and you will see fabulous and yet it never works on it, it just is.

Much joy and love to you and yours
