It’s done, another of my yearly traditions completed! I just finished watching the movie classic; It’s a Wonderful Life. I love this movie and each year I watch it at Christmas time. It is a great story filled with lessons on character, and the difference one person can make with the strongest message to me in how easy it is for a person to be discouraged even when they are giving there all.
That’s a major reason why so often in my blogs I write on topics of Belief, Encouragement, Going the Extra Mile, the Power of Our Thoughts, and the Power of Affirmations.
“Your Beliefs become your Thoughts Your Thoughts become your Words Your Words become your Actions Your Actions become your Habits Your Habits become your Values Your Values become your Destiny” – Mahatma Gandhi
In this week’s blog post, I have selected a few excerpts from a few of my previous blog posts to once again share as a reminder of our personal power; being real, authentic, with confidence in the belief we are enough… with the courage to shine by LETTING our authentic selves show. To be kind hearted and to be others centered.
REMEMBER to SPARKLE ……
S … Shine brightly with confidence
P … Living your life on purpose with positive energy
A … Alluring, attractive, alive, amazing and audacious
R … Radiant, ready and remarkable
K … Keen, kind-hearted, keeping up with life’s possibilities.
L … Living lively, gentle and real
E … Enjoying a life of being eager, exuberant and energized
So often we are told … To ‘Go-Up’ you need to ‘Show-Up’. I would add; To ‘Go-Up’ you need to Sparkle when you ‘Show-Up’

AFFIRMATIONS WORK!….
I LOVE AFFIRMATIONS AND ONE THAT I AM PERSONALLY ADOPTING IS “HEAR ME ROAR!”
I first heard this phrase many years ago in the lyrics of singer Helen Reddy’s song; I am Woman….Hear Me Roar. Most currently, with Katie Perry’s song, ‘Roar’ ….
Why would this be my affirmation of choice? I guess for many reasons but mainly because of transitioning to and thru the ‘retirement’ phase of my life and into another realm, I feel like I still have so much to say and so much more to do.
To me ROAR is a declaration to:
R – Dare to Risk so you can Rise
O –Realize there are Options in life and career that if taken lead to opportunities.
A – Accentuate the Positive – Eliminate the Negative.
R – Reach… Reach out; Reach up and then LEAP
