I’m sure you have all heard the story about a king that had two sons and he was trying to decide who would inherit the family throne. One day he told his two sons that they had 24 hours to fill the largest room of the castle with anything. Anything that would fill the room completely. Both sons went to town to try to find what would completely fill this large room. The first son brought back straw and jammed all the straw he could in this room. The father agreed that he had done a good job. The second son brought back a candle and filled the room with light. It filled every possible spot in that room. Guess who won. Yes the second son.

So many people are looking for a quick fix to peace and happiness. The only obstacle to everyone’s candle shining brightly (peace of heart) is fear. Fear of receiving and giving love. Where love is feared, there is always uncertainty, limitation and pain. Remembering that everything changes; thoughts, emotions, our body (yes that means wrinkles…) it gives us hope. By seeking love and peace outside ourselves we will weep each time another idol falls. Looking inward for moments each day, the power to light your heart with peace is all yours.

Christmas is celebrating LIFE. Celebrating your own life every day, beholding your body with love and respect as a vehicle that will help you accomplish your life goals. Christ did try to show us what unconditional love is all about.

Welcome the effects of love this Christmas. Host the gift of a Presence (LOVE), as you choose to extend it to others with a smile, a kind word.

Rejoice this Christmas and celebrate YOUR LIFE with others.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is inside yourself. Look, listen and trust. The first letter of each word below spell CHRISTMAS…


CHOICE – I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart appoints – Ralph Waldo Emerson

HUMOR – It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves – Katherine Mansfield

RESPECT – Your body is your vehicle for life. As long as you are here, live in it. Love, honor, respect and cherish it. Treat it well, and it will serve you in kind. – Suzy Prudden

INSPIRATION – In the midst of our daily lives, we must find the juice to nourish our creative souls – Sark

SELF-ESTEEM – No one can make you feel inferior without your consent – Eleanor Roosevelt

TRUST – Trust thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string – Ralph Waldo Emerson

MISTAKES – There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from – Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

ACCEPTANCE – I find that when we really love, accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works – Louise Hay

SURRENDER – Surrender, doesn’t obstruct our power; it enhances it. – Marianne Williamson

Living in the present brings the one thing most people spend their lives striving to achieve: PEACE. Everything is there waiting for you. Peace is nothing else than having the courage to BE, with no strings attached. I am not suggesting that you float through your life, completely detached from the past and blind to the future. Only that you pause from time to time to be fully rooted in the moment and feel the peace that results.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY!

The most important life giving substance in the body, and the one that the body desperately depends on, is water.

• WATER accounts for over half of our body mass.
• Every single biological function depends upon the efficient flow of water.
• Water is necessary for the distribution of nutrients throughout the body and the removal of waste products from the cells.
• It is involved in your body’s acid-base balance and it is the medium through which hormones and other chemical messenger travel.
• Water is an important component of skin, cartilage and other tissues and helps maintain body temperature.
• It also acts as a shuttle for the electrolytic minerals such as sodium and potassium that is very important in normalization of blood pressure.
• We are constantly in the process of losing water through our skin, lungs, urine, stool etc. Your body has been engineered for survival. It will maintain fluid and blood flow to the areas most crucial for life: brain, heart and other vital organs to meet their basic needs. Blood flow may be diverted by constricting your smaller pipes, therefore raising blood pressure and maybe shutting down some of the extensions of the smaller pipes (capillaries). The longer the body is dehydrated, the longer the absence of blood and adequate nutrients to these tissues and the more bogged down with cellular wastes and so on. It is required in abundance for the arterial and kidney health.
• HOW MUCH WATER? HALF YOUR WEIGHT IN OUNCES PER DAY: EIGHT TO TEN 8 OUNCE GLASSES OF PURE (NO CHLORINE, NO FLUORIDE) WATER PER DAY. A word of caution – build this up slowly. Add one cup of water a day to what you are presently drinking until you reach your goal. If you have kidney disease or congestive heart failure, consult your doctor before increasing your water intake dramatically. Drinking it through a straw will prevent that full and bloated feeling. When water volume is suboptimal, the kidneys reabsorb more sodium which is followed by a rise in fluid levels in the body. Water is a powerful diuretic… Cut back on dehydrating beverages such as coffee and alcohol.
