It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
~Walt Disney

Seriously...what a great quote!!! So true! It is so much fun to do the impossible, prove people wrong! And you can do the impossible! Thoughts become your reality! Work, think, and stay positive!!! You can do it!

Dream Big

Everything starts as somebody's daydream ~ Larry Niven

Its no secret that I love quotes. I send them out every day to people, I read them, I say them out loud like affirmations. Love them! My friend Jessica gave me this book called Dream big starring Olivia.

It is a sweet little story of Olivia the pig and her dreams. Its art and motivational quotes together! A must read and its not just for kids! This needs to be in the adult library too!


I love it!

Thanks Jess.

I know...

We should be recapping are awesome experience in London at the Jeffrey Gitomer Workshop! It was amazing, but this weekend has been hectic for both of us. Shannon has been running a scrapbooking retreat weekend (she is a CM rep) and I've been in the rink from morning to night! A life in balance right? hehe

Instead we are changing gears for a day! The recap will come!!!

I wanted to talk about some health self help! As most of you know I am a reflexology practitioner! You can check out an interactive map for feet and hands here! Its a great way to learn some self help!

One of the best tools to help yourself is grabbing a golf or tennis ball and simply rolling it on the bottom of your foot. All the way from the heel to the tips of the toes. Sit down on a chair to do this (just to be safe). It will help promote your circulation and just feel relaxing.

If your sinus's are acting up, grab a pen and roll it between your finger tips. You will feel a "crunch" happening and that is your sinus reflexes! It does really help!

Lastly, if you have a headache. Press the "v" webbing between your thumb and forefinger. Press right back by the bone area in that web, pressing both top and bottom. Yes it will hurt. Hold for about 30 seconds, then moving to the other hand. This should help take the edge of your headache!

All these are cool little self help tips to help you become more in balance.

There will be more to come!

Fall

It feels like the perfect fall day out there! Sunny, crisp and just a gorgous day!!! We're back from our workshop... inspired and full of information to share!!!

More about Attitude

The book and author that we were talking about, Jeffrey Gitomer, has a free webcast happening RIGHT NOW on the Success Magazine Blog! He is offering a great 10 week challenge on how to succeed in this economy. Even if you don't sign up for the rest the first lesson is all about his Yes! Attitude. How perfect!

By now you know we love this guy and feel that his message of attitude, gratitude and responsibility are very important. If you are feeling out of balanced, stressed about finances, relationships or your career, there is just something about this gentleman's charisma and passion that can get you motivated. He shoots from the hip, calls a spade a spade, and somehow helps you find the confidence to be able to say I CAN DEAL WITH THIS. The time is now!

We all need a little bit of that kind of mojo don't we. Its a great 10min video and/or read! Go check it out!!!

You can find it by going here to watch and read about it!

Tickets are still available to see Jeffery in London, Ontario this Thursday! We are going and would love to see some familiar faces there. www.buygitomer.com

Have a great day and remember this is a SHORT week!

Thankful...

That is the topic for this weekend.

For us here in Canada, this is our Thanksgiving weekend! We celebrate it with friends and family. It is a time to reflect and realize the abundance that we are so blessed to have around us! From food, shelter, material things to family and friends, we are truly so blessed. Its a time to give gratitude and love.

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” — William Arthur Ward

“Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.” — The Hausa of Nigeria

“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?” — William A. Ward

Some great quotes on being thankful!

What does thanksgiving mean to you? Is it a time to celebrate with family and friends for what you are truly thankful for? Is it just a time together? Do you take the time to realize how blessed we really all are?


I leave you with a poem that sums it all up!

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.
