Time for A NEW YOU

Life gets Better the more we Grow

I've shared many posts about how Yoga started me on a totally new path in life full of new experiences and personal challenges.  

Awareness and intention have repeatedly been my companion throughout this journey. 

We each can stay in stress and keep choosing the same battles, or we can start to find ways to move in a different direction. 

Both can be challenging but the second one holds the gifts that will improve our Future.

Simple little changes can have huge results.

As Spring begins and we get outdoors to breathe in the fresh air, 

maybe it's time to make a fresh new plan for YOU. 

Invest in You ...

The lymphatic system in our body helps us to rid ourselves of toxins and other waste materials through vessels that are connected to hundreds of lymph nodes. Our tonsils, spleen and thymus gland are also lymphatic tissues.

The system doesn't have a pump for circulation so it requires us to Breathe and Move our muscles. Yoga really helps and legs up the wall a favorite pose of mine lets you relax while gravity is reversed to move the fluid from the lower limbs.

Watch this video for simple & easy ways we can help our body and improve our health.

I Love this photo of the Kingfisher sitting in the tree watching the pond - looking for a fish.

Or maybe he's just resting and thinking about where he'll go next.

Does winter get you down in the dumps occasionally?

Our weather is quite rainy so it is a good time to plan a vacation to somewhere Warmer and Dryer where the Sun is Shining.

We often need a little extra motivation (kick in the butt)

to get out of bed on these dark mornings.

I'm not sure about you but I also need to observe my thoughts more at this time of year as they can get me grumpy, depressed, sad or wanting to sit like a lump in the chair complaining about something.

I really need those Wellness Minutes

 I mentioned  in this post

We sold our little motor home so we won't be travelling to a warmer, drier, sunnier place so I am being more aware of how my thoughts play a huge part in how I spend my days.

One thing I'm doing is to get out more even if it is raining.  The dogs don't care if it's raining so an extra walk or some kind of outing is good.  Often when I get out I find that it is nicer than I thought so I feel much better after.

I also use Meditation, my writing and several other activities that take me out of my head which really helps pass the time in a good way.

I've been working on trying to present my best self wherever I go, so I decided that this is also just as important to do at home.  Mood Changer.

This little message from my book Moving Forward from the Heart  helps.

"Surround yourself with what you love,

and what you love and give out,

will be what comes back to you ..."

Unleashing a bit of Frustration

This is a powerful video.

Many things to think about.

Some Depressing.

Others Hopeful,

If we work together and make Changes.

Sorry Video is not working.

So after watching this and thinking about all the chaos and bad things happening right now I wrote a little Rant here.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX !!!

Then the next morning, I decided to keep it to myself as each of us who see this video will come up with our own Rant that affects our life locally and globally.

Yes, the World is connecting on a new level and this is huge.

But while we're connecting through our little screens, sometimes we're also disconnecting by not paying attention to those around us, creating walls to keep ourselves feeling safe & separated from others.

Perhaps we're also Staying by ourselves with misinformation, judgments and our individual approval processes, scared to open our doors, go out or travel as our fear mounts.

When this happens - we all suffer together.  

I don't know why countries have been at war for years, or why people don't have clean water or are starving when so much food is thrown out, or why people go out and kill others or animals for sport.

But let's not forget there are thousands/millions of good people out there working very hard to make a difference in whatever way they can by protesting, marching, teaching, building things, giving out food & medicine and so much more.

If you had a Rant  - find something in it that you can do to help make a positive difference to help others, your community or if you want go BIG!

Even visiting someone, making a new friend, giving food away, volunteering, helping someone clean up their yard, smiling and laughing and the list goes on and on makes a difference. 

thanks....

I guess I did end up having a bit of a rant after all.

Lives Got Changed

Making the World a Better Place

One Rose Wellness Cards

Dona Anderson

A few words Can make a Difference ...

One Rose Wellness Cards 

At the festivals/shows I attend each year as a vendor I offer out a version of my One Rose Wellness cards to those passing by.

The idea of the cards actually started when I did a library reading years ago and I made a few cards with short messages to hand out to those who attended.

At the end of our time together I asked if anyone wanted to read the card they picked and many did. It was really a special time for all of us to absorb the nourishment each card had to offer.

That idea grew and became the set of 105 messages all taken from within the pages of my book Simply, One Breath At a Time.

The messages in the handouts are the same but I put them on colored paper and include my blog address so they can find me later if they want.  Some people love to dig in with eyes closed and some like to pick from the colors.

I love watching my visitors read the cards and immediately take a breath or a big exhale.  Some get a softening on their face, many say it was just what they needed or how perfect it fits with them.  A few even had a tear as it said something they really needed to hear. 

And I love when a group are all
reading & sharing theirs with each other.

I get lots of people returning for another message each time they see me and they love telling me where they keep the ones they have, and others like to read the message and then place it back in the bowl for someone else to pick.

How many have I given out so far??

Over 10,400

Why the over  - for the many who recycled theirs to be offered again to someone else.

My Mom's old brass bowl gets to come along and has the special honor of being extended out to thousands full of wellness messages.  (She would never have imagined that but I think she is smiling)

Angels overhead Applauding.
