monday motivation -good energy

How is your energy today?  

Is it good or does it need a little motivation to make it better.  Is there an accessory that makes you happy?  Do you have an "amulet" or a sort of lucky charm that you wear and notice it brings good luck where ever you go?

Take the time to set up a little table top with items that will bring you good energy.

It could consist of found objects that are meaningful.

Light a candle.

Is there a sprig of some sort of living energy?  A green plant or a bowl of fruit?

Does it have heart and soul?

 It all starts with you and you can create the sort of shrine to good energy in your home.

I am adding this work of art to my "good energy" quotient.  I cannot wait until it arrives.  I am going to share more about this special artist in a post on tuesday.

I am also in love with this work of art found here -and the arrangement of books, files and lamps.

Notice that the shades are not the same size, nor are the lamps a pair.  I think it adds to the collective energy of the space.

Take a look around you and create good energy.

smoothie sunday

Inspired by my dear friend Victoria, I welcomed my desire to increase my energy and vitality for life so I have challenged myself to be more committed to my most optimum health.  For the past year, I have watched a wonderful transformation in my friend by her dedication and passion to eating and drinking her way to good health. Yes, I eat healthy but after winter, I feel like I need to shed that winter coat for a leaner and lighter cloak for spring.

This morning I took our dog for our morning walk then came back home and created the most wonderful fruit smoothie after having a lovely glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon.  Took my walk and morning vitamins too.  As I walked, I breathed in and out and realized each of us deserve to find our best health and creative flow.  It all adds up to a smoothie Sunday.  You owe it to yourself to create peace and tranquility in your own sacred body every day, but Sunday seems like a perfect place to spend a smooth day.

monday motivation - massage

I am motivated by a massage appointment.  I was given the gift of a massage in the form of a gift card to use at any time.  There is truly nothing better than taking time out for a little personal spa treatment.

If you have never had a massage, I encourage you to book one now.  Did you know that a massage can drain your body of toxins and stress.  One walks away feeling refreshed and grounded.

A hot stone massage warms one up as well as balances one's spirit.

"An ancient technique performed using heated stones of varied temperatures placed on the body…a modality for spiritual balancing. Stone massage is very effective as it creates harmony and a positive energy flow promoting a sense of balance, energy, and peace."

The massage rooms always make me wish I had a room like this in my own home.  Do you feel motivated to make time for a massage?  Make time during the holidays for a little time to pamper yourself.
