Isn’t God amazing? Look at the artistry in His creations. Listen to what they say. In nature is uniformity, originality,perfect law, perfect peace, and indescribable beauty. All one must do is notice it.

Did you know that next week is the “Random Acts of Kindness” week? Yep, it is. Tie a ribbon, wear a ribbon, whatever works to remind you to do something extra ordinary for someone else next week. Really, we should do this daily, especially since it has been proven that compassion expressed releases specific endorphins that are equivalent to a drug response…a sort of “high”, if you will. Wow! Have you every noticed how good you feel when you do something nice for someone else? You get a really great feeling inside don’t you? Well, there it is.
Visit http://www.randomactsofkindness.org if you need some ideas…but I bet you can come up with some all by yourself!
Show some love.
You may not be an animal person and even more likely, you are not a horse person but I am going to tell you some things you probably didn’t know…then you can say you’ve learned something new today.
Horses have been a very important part of my life since I was 7 years old. My first horse taught me about responsibility and compassion. They are faithful friends and reliable listeners. For the times in my life that I didn’t feel like anyone understood me…my horse was always there to lend a willing shoulder to cry on. I will always admire, wonder, and love the beautiful animal God made.

Its the time for thoughts again…
Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Years. This time of year can bring Appreciation. Praise. Resolution. Sadness. Frustration…
For some the season is a well spring of new beginnings, new hope, new dreams.
For some the season brings frustration. Am I going anywhere? What is all this for?
For some the season brings pressure, the feeling the whole world depends on their strength.
For some, the season brings the overwhelming feeling of being invisible.
For whichever scenario best fits your inner thoughts, my wish for you is to find that wonderful place of self sufficiency, self love, self strength, self determination.
Happiness does not depend on others.It depends on you. Find a dream. Find a hope. Find resolve.
Find the power to enjoy this season of magic.
Sometimes there are so many people trying to give you advice and instructions that you just want to scream SHUT UP! already. There are times when the only answer to our frustrations can be found by our own determination to FIGURE IT OUT.
Good Luck.
Everyone has creativity. A teacher is creative because she finds new ways to entice children to learn. A surgeon is creative because he creates a healing solution. A plumber is creative because he creates ways for us to deal with water. A secretary is creative because she creates organization out of chaos. Don’t say you are not creative…. Everyone is creative. Believe in yourself and create something wonderful with your life. Go on!
