Dear Friends,

At the end of every year most of the world is reminiscing about the past year. It is sad to think about those who have left this world. Instead of crying over our loss; let’s take what we learned from those folks and make our affirmations for the New Year.

My grandmother passed away several years ago. She lived to be almost ninety-eight years old. The one thing she always taught us was to be nice. She would tell us that if you can’t say anything nice then say nothing at all. That is a very hard lesson to learn but once you do, your life becomes so much easier.

We have all mourned the loss of the precious children from senseless tragedy . Each one of those parents kissed their children goodbye that morning not knowing that it would be the last time. This broke my heart for all of us. It is so important that we not only tell our family how much we care for them but that we show them.

With our busy life-style we get caught up in the chaos! This stress causes us to be short with our family and with ourselves. We beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Our perfectionism causes us to be our own worst enemy. This has got to stop!

There is a Bible verse that says, Let all things be done decently and in order. For me this means that things need to be done and they don’t have to be perfect. The “order” is talking about routines. Take your daily habits and put them into three step routines. This gets things done. These simple three step routines will help you to release the stress that causes you to be mean to yourself and others. Write them down on Post-It Notes and place them around your home. This will help you to dance through you day with joy!

My goal for us is to find joy in our lives again!
