You wouldn’t have a glass of pure fruit juice and load up the glass to the top with crushed ice.

You get less juice ……and the greatness, the sweetness, the purity of the juice gets diluted.

The same holds true with your life: Get rid of all the junk clogging up your greatness.

Let it go!

Someone emailed this to me. I love this kind of math….

What makes life 100%?

To answer, here’s a little math that might prove helpful:
If each letter of the alphabet …
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Equals a number …
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then:
E F F O R T = 70
O N T I M E = 76
K N O W L E D G E = 96
H A R D W O R K= 98
That’s impressive and important, but they all fall short of 100.
Then again…A T T I T U D E = 100

Its spring and time to clean out the old, and usher in the new. The dead grass renews itself; the leaves on the trees begin to turn green, the flowers bloom. I love spring. The first thing I do as soon as they come out in the store is buy a hyacinth…..I have a pink one on my desk right now. I love the soft pastel colors, and the beautiful smell. Each of us has a favorite flower… A friend of mine loves red roses, another loves gardenias, another marigolds. . My favorites are Peonies, hyacinth and lilacs. Does that make my friends right, and me wrong? Does that make a Rose less beautiful, or a tulip…less a tulip? Each flower has its own amazing smell, look and shade of color. Each person has their own look, their own style, their own shades of traits and character. Celebrate your differences…..Stand proud of your body, your looks, your mind, your personality. A gardenia was meant to be a gardenia…..A Peony was meant to be a peony. They do not spend their day in the garden going: Gosh, I wish I were at tulip….. No, they grow and bloom in all their beauty. They stand out in the garden as to say….Am I not beautiful…just the way I am?
We need to stand out in our own garden, and say: Am I not beautiful…just the way I am!!!

Some will….Some won’t ..So What….Someones waiting…..

We each have a uniqueness…we need to celebrate our diversity instead of trying to fit the same mold. “Each women is like an instrument in the symphony of life…each has a different sound, a different shape, a different purpose, but together we can make beautiful music…we can create great masterpieces together.”

I watched a show today on Dr. Phil. www.drphil.com The story was about a young teen and young mom who would rather die than be fat…..my heart just breaks. We live in a world where people are willing to die, just to fit in a social society that is false. Sad…awfully sad. I wish I could inject them with self love. I wish I could help them understand how that their beauty does not lie in the number on the scale. I wish I could tell them that how much they weigh is NOT more important than their souls….their personalities, love. I have been heavier..I have been thinner. I am the same person at any weight. We need to learn to love ourselves not for our physical image…but for our internal soul. My heart just broke for both ladies. Our physical form can be changed in an instant….Why do they think they are less lovable with a change in weight. Sadly, there are definitely deeper issues here… I just wish I could tell all those that suffer with weight issues that you need to take yourself out of your size. If you are a size zero or a size 54…..celebrate the best of you. Are you a kind person? Are you an awesome parent? Do you serve others? Are you the healer among your family and friends? These are qualities of great beauty…..These are attributes to be proud of…..Let your radiance shine…..Be the best you ….at any size. Do NOT let the numbers on the scale let you believe you are less than. Each of us has amazing qualities……Each of us has abilities that are special…….You will be living your very best life if you share who you are with others…..Let your radiance shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
