Fill Your Cloud

It's been quite some time since I have posted here on the blog. I have seen a lot and learned alot since beginning this journey with you. One lesson I have learned and would love to share with you is the act of filling up your cloud.

When you think about a cloud in the sky, it starts off as small. As it fills with condensation, it gets larger and larger. Eventually it begins to get full and starts to drip water. This is the rain that we don't see. Some call it fog or may be morning dew. But then, once that cloud can't take any more water, it will burst.

Think of your praise could the same way. The more you send up praises and show your appreciation for everything in your life, the more your cloud will begin to fill up with blessings. Eventually, your clould will get full and your blessings will begin to drip. Keep sending up praises, thanksgiving, good vibes, faith, hope, and even love. Your cloud will soon become so full that it will have to burst, releasing abundant blessings upon you. What a wonderful feeling.

After all is done, start filling up your cloud again. You can't loose, you won't fail. Just keep trying.

If you are religious, send up praise and thanksgiving to the lord. If you are spiritual, send up good vibes and positivity. If you are just trying to make it day to day, you too can be grateful for all that you have.

I'm filling up my cloud. Are you filling yours?

Be Blessed!

The Inner You... Can You Hear It?

There is a still small voice that lives in each of us. It is there to guide us and help us not to make regrettable mistakes. It can improve our lives if we let it. What is this voice? Some call it a conscious, I call it the "inner me".

Often we are so engulfed with the different things we are experiencing throughout the day that we don't hear the voice or we don't take the time to acknowledge it when it speaks. How many times have we missed out on a blessing, because we didn't take heed to the voice? Ok, so some of us are in denial. How about this... how many times did you get locked out of your house or car, because "something told you to grab the keys" but you didn't? It happens more often than not.

Lets not confuse this small voice with the evil one that tells you to slap the lady that won't tell her child to stop screaming. This is not the voice that tells you to do to treat others badly. This is the quiet voice that calms you when you are mad, comforts you when you are sad, hugs you when you're all alone, that makes you feel like it can be trusted. This is the voice that always has something positive in store for you.

Remember, this voice would never ask you to hurt anyone or yourself. Always treat others the way you would like to be treated. I challenge you to pay attention when your inner you speaks, you just may experience something new.

Be blessed!

Stop It!

The first time I heard my coworker sternly say "stop it" to another coworker, I cracked up laughing on the inside. Have you ever heard a mother or father say those words to a child that was acting out of character?

Today when you go through your day and someone cuts you off in traffic, before you yell at them (you know they can't hear you anyway) or cuss under your breath (you got caught, LOL) I want you to say these words to yourself... "Stop It!"

The next time you feel like acting out of character (because I know you are a loving person), tell yourself "Stop It!"

Why should you do this? Why not just release your feelings? Well, because you don't know what people are going through. Sometimes we do things without realizing the impact it will have on someone else. How would you feel if the person in the car you gave the finger to pulled over and began apologize. During the apology they began to cry while telling you they were on their way to visit a dying loved one who may not make it through the day, how would you feel?

It is true that some people do things with the wrong intentions, but until you know this is the case, lets give each other the benefit of the doubt. Lets have the forgiving heart of a small child.

It's the first step in having a better day. Tell yourself "Stop It!"

Be Blessed!
