write your way…think positive 30/11/10

Hello friends. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend (if you were celebrating) and that it was filled with good food, fantastic family and many new memories filled with those you love.

As the New Year quickly approaches and 2010 winds its way down, I came across something that I wanted to share. A little piece of perspective to those in need of some, as well as a dose of much needed positivity…

Think Positive Thoughts Every Day…

Have hope. Because it works wonders for those who have it. You can be optimistic. Because people who expect things to turn out for the best often set the stage to receive a beautiful result.

Put things in perspective. Because some things are important, and others are definitely not.

Remember that beyond the clouds, the sun is still shining. You can meet each challenge and give it all you’ve got.

Count your blessings. You can be inspired to climb your ladders and have some nice, long talks with your wishing stars. You can be strong and patient. You can be gentle and wise.

Believe in happy endings. Because you are the author of the story of your life.

Over the past few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to connect with several amazing new friends who are not only inspirational but supportive and on their own journey’s to health and well-being personally, professionally and in general overall. They’ve touched my life and this post is dedicated to them. Also know as my amazing team the “Holiday HotBodies” over at the Shrinking Jeans challenge. You can also check out their sites by clicking on their twitter handles @ro23ro, @sweating_it_off, @rachelsteffen, @KarlaBond, @PaulyBeariver, @bah, and my “IRL friend” Jaime.

Also a special shout out to Donny over at “The Adventures of Daddy Claxton” who surprised me with my very own mention on his blog that made my entire week. I’m glad I could touch someone’s life without even knowing it! He has had his share of ups and downs this year and I’d love for you to stop by his site and say hello.

With that all said, now IS the time to begin writing your way. Write your story. Become the main character in your own amazing story and don’t forget to be positive, be compassionate and count your blessings each and everyday.
