A Thanksgiving To Remember

Remembering Your Departed Loved Ones

As we enter this day of Thanksgiving and we count our blessings,  there may be people who have passed on from our lives that we deeply miss.  Although we may feel sad, we can still honor them with the same joy of Thanksgiving as if they are still here.Here is an excerpt from James Van Praagh’s article – Remembering Your Departed Loved Ones During The Holidays that you may find helpful:

When you are enjoying an almost perfect holiday event this season and think to yourself “I wish Dad was here to enjoy this” comfort yourself with the knowledge that he is closer than you think!
*    Acknowledge those who have passed in a special way – display a favorite holiday photo of that person, make their favorite recipe, or use a serving piece that belonged to them during the meal. You can even set them a place at the table- any small gesture that brings them closer will be appreciated!
*    Encourage family members to share a memory. Pick a time where everyone can share a memory or story about the person who has passed. Let the dead know that they are loved and remembered.
*    Be open to signs. Be open to subtle scents, sounds, and thoughts that signal the presence of your loved ones – and respond to them, “hi mom!” so Spirit knows you are aware of them.

HOLIDAY STRESS

HOLIDAY STRESS
Did you know that holiday stress has a particular impact on women?
According to a US Holiday Stress Report, “Women generally take charge of many of the holiday celebrations, particularly the tasks related to preparing meals and decorating the home.In addition, they have a harder time relaxing during the holidays and are more likely to fall into bad habits to manage their stress, like comfort eating.”
The report also revealed that the holidays have an impact on lower middle income individuals. “This group feels the weight of stress from work plus the seasonal rush to find time to get everything done.In addition, their worries about money are heightened by the commercialism of the season and the pressure to spend a lot of money.”
Last week I offered a tel-class that covered holiday stress and I mentioned that I would be offering a follow-up workshop.
The goal of this workshop is to keep you mindful of your emotional triggers and  financial budget so you can enjoy the season without the additional stress and worry.
THIS IS AN ON-LINE EVENT THAT WILL TAKE PLACE ON:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH,
7:30-9:00 PM ET
INCLUDED IN THE WORKSHOP:
  • PowerPoint Presentation
  • Workbook
  • Q&A Time
  • Recording for Future Reference
As my way of giving back to you during this season, I have priced this event at only $69.99
It is jam packed with incredible value that will keep on giving way beyond the holiday season.
I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.

Monday “Isness”

/in , /by

It is Monday morning and my very first email I read was about Gratitude.  Now, I must admit, it not only soothed my soul but it was exactly what I needed.

You see, as of late, I have had some “things” on my mind that have been weighing me down.  It is easy to lose sight of all the good “things” that are right in front of us when this happens, as we tend to forget about Gratitude.

Gratitude arises from the understanding that life is truly a gift.  That perhaps we are part of something bigger and greater we do not fully yet understand but we believe in.

We also realize that our life in its current state is a gift.  Each day is a unique gift that we can give back and contribute to. This appreciation of life helps us to value what “is” right here and now and the life of others.

Therefore, trust the “isness” of life and allow it to hold you – without will or want, struggle or planning.  Embrace and love what is and come to know the humbling feelings that are associated with this.

We are all searching for meaning and purpose on this planet. But for today, this Monday, try to sit back just for a moment and ponder how awesome it is that we have the privilege to be part of life.  That all is well, right now, as it “is.”

Allow me please to share a beautiful Prayer with you.  My hope is that it will bring you the peace and comfort it provides for me.

Praying-hands

“Thank you, God, for helping me to know that all that I seek is coming to me now. Thank you, God, for allowing me to feel, right now, the peace that comes with gratitude for what is, replacing the yearning for what is not. Thank you for bringing me the understanding that from the isness comes all that is now not, but will surely be. Let me stay, then, in the isness.”  ~ Neale Donald Walsch

PROCRASTINATOR

Do you postpone “things?”

We are all guilty of it at one time or another, but…If you realize that you are putting things off more often than you are getting things done, then it is time to pay attention. You may have fallen into the cycle of procrastination.
What is procrastination?
Procrastination is the avoidance of getting a task accomplished.

What are the effects of procrastination?
Procrastination can lead to feelings of guilt, self doubt, depression and also lead to chronic procrastination.

Why do we procrastinate and what can we do about it?
I’m sure this is what you would like to know, yes?

I am a firm believer that in order to change something, we must first understand why it is happening. When change is centered around awareness, you are more likely to be less overwhelmed and successful with your results.

This is why I will be presenting an on-line workshop next Tuesday, November 10th at 7:30 – 9:00 PM (ET) on possible reasons why we procrastinate and tips on how to conquer the postponement of “things.”

My goal is to make this event informative and also provide one-on-one support. Therefore, this workshop is limited to the first five (5) people who register. Upon registration you will receive a workbook to enhance your awareness and a 30 minute private coaching session to be scheduled following the event.

The workshop I can promise will be jam-packed with value and practical information you can apply immediately.

Here is what the workshop includes:
• 1.5 Hours of On-Line Learning
• One-On-One Support within the Group
• Detailed Workbook
• 30 Minute Private Coaching Session
This all inclusive event has a price value of approximately $500.00. However, for the five lucky people who register now, your cost to participate is only $79.99.

(I know, it is outrageously, ridiculously priced, but I’ve been known to do this from time to time!)
This amazing opportunity is time sensitive and available to only 5 people, so you must act fast if you want in. Good luck!
