It is finally here I am so excited and jumping for joy.

As I get up early to preparing the stuffing and turkey I dance around the kitchen in joy and love.  Yes, I pour the magic of the finally key of the holiday.

​The final key that sums it all up is Love.

Yes, my magic with cooking is to pour all my love over the house as I prepare the meal.  As I put the turkey in the over I get excited with watching the parades.  I dance and sing along with them as people start to show up or wake up and join me with the parades.  As the day continues to grow I am greeted by more family and friends as they arrive and I am surrounded with love.  Soon enough the table is set and all the food is ready.  We join together at the table and give thanks to our meal and gathering of everyone.  Then I stop and look around the table at real love and say thank you for this wonderful day.

Oh we don’t stop there, we chat and clean up some just to get started on the pies, ymmmm.

Some will continue talking and others will watch a game of football.

The party of joy and love goes on into the night.

At the end of the day you have a new memory and joy in your heart of the love you shared.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Wow I can’t believe it in just one day it will be Thanksgiving.

​Today we will focus on spirit, yes the spirit of the day and all the magic coming together to enjoy the day.

Now you have the meal in your mind, the people around you, we get together to watch parades and for some Football.  Yes, the spirit of the day is so exciting and building up for one full wonderful day.

I just love preparing for the day and I am so full of joy and love it is pure magic waiting for one amazing day.

Relax a little today and remember all the exciting times from the past and what will happen tomorrow.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Yes, now we are just two days away from the wonderful day.

​Oh and today is something wonderful to think about.  Yes, family is making their way to your home or you are traveling to somewhere.  Yes, the second key area to focus on is Family and Friends.  Some of these people you only see a few times a year, some could be college students who have been away and you get to see them.

Oh, how wonderful it is to bring everyone together to enjoy a wonderful time of year.
Over the years I have seen people come and go but whenever we do meet up and enjoy thanksgiving the conversation always comes back to meeting up with all the people on thanksgiving day.

Take some time today to greet all your times you enjoyed with family and friends over the years.

Much joy and love to you and yours

In just three short days it will be time to enjoy another Thanksgiving day.

​There are so many wonderful parts of this holiday, but I will focus on just three key areas.

Today lets focus on the meal.  Yes, that wonderful meal with a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, yams, veggies, salads, and don’t forget the pies.  Ymmm  I am getting hungry just thinking about all those wonderful items.

I know my refrigerator and pantry is full of items just waiting for that special day when I will apply my magic to mix it all up and serve a wonderful meal.

When I think back over the years it brings up memories of Mom’s wonderful meals.  Just for the day bring up one of your wonderful memories and relive it in your mind as you prepare for the day.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

​Have you ever stood still and watched a sunrise or sunset and say wow that is beautiful, but the person next to you said no big deal it wasn’t that great.

Here is the secret you can see beauty in everything or nothing, it’s up to you the beholder. You can stand in front of a mirror and see beauty or not.  I have known some very beautiful woman who told me they were ugly or fat and I said you just don’t see you as I do. 

Let’s move beyond the beauty we see with our eyes to the beauty of life. Feel the beauty all around you be it people who care for you, the sun’s warmth, a fresh breeze, the smell of flowers or food cooking, it’s all around you.  Open up to the feeling of beauty and you will truly experience beauty.

You see beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder, it’s in the mind of the beholder.  The more you focus on seeing and feeling the beauty the more you will experience beauty. 

Most of all remember you are beautiful.

Much joy and love to you and yours

You can create and live your story.

One of my favorite times was when my daughter and I would sit in the car while her brother had soccer practice.  We had this game we played with making up a story.  I would give a sentence and she would add another sentence.  At the end we would laugh about the crazy stories we made up.

We all do this all the time in our lives.  We are either living with a story we made up or someone told us who we are.  We limit ourselves with these stories and at times even feel bad or afraid of life.  We let our gender tell us a story, we let our bodies tell us a story, we let the color of our skin tell us a story, we even let other people tell us a story.  Enough is Enough time to change that story.

You are very powerful and can create your own story and create a new life for yourself.  Take some time today and dream up that story, add some funny ideas and some amazing successes to your story.  Hold that story in your heart and start believing it is true.  Over time you will discover the person you dreamed up is you.

Much joy and love to you and yours

​The past is just the past. It doesn’t do anything for you today.
 
The good ole days can excite you or drive you crazy.
I once meet up with an old friend and all he wanted to talk about was the past.  He even had a image of who I was back then, he had no idea of who I have become.  When I tried to talk about today or our future he just wanted to continue talking about the old days.  I thanked him for the great time and went on my way. As I walked away I laughed about those times, but opened my mind to my plans for the future.
 
It is true your past created your current image of life, but it doesn’t need to drive your future.  Change your thoughts and create a new vision of the life you desire. 
 
PS.  Someday in your future you will be living your new vision and you can laugh how you dreamed and took action to a wonderful life.
 
Much joy and love to you and yours
