Every person is responsible for all the good in the scope of his abilities and for no more and none can tell whose sphere is the largest - Robert Schuller

Gratitudes and Celebrations - Face your fear
Face your fear, name it, and then move on...
What is your biggest fear that stands in the way of your creativity, that you know you should be doing, but for some reason you always talk yourself out of, saying that next time you will get round to it, but you never do and time is ticking?
We all have something that we put aside for one reason or another, and before we know it a few years have passed and we don't know were the time has gone, but gone it has.
Our fears are 'False Expectations Appearing Real' and are usually without substance, and if you actually examined where the source of the fear stemmed from you would be surprised. I was thinking today about those experiences that we had in our childhood and which now have an impact in our adult lives. Many things that went unresolved, unsaid, and every so often come back to haunt the adult you. Stepping back and giving the child in you the care that it needed at the time of the event will impact greatly on how you feel, and the things you do tomorrow.
Those unsaid things and incidents form clutter in our minds, hearts and spirit and weigh down on our today, making us feel less than, unable to move forward. So today, make one action of self care, it doesn't matter what it is, but that you have taken the time out to notice. Show some love to yourself and start clearing the mind clutter that needs to be shown the door.
I am grateful today and celebrate facing those things that I was previously fearful of, looking forward to getting rid of those thoughts that bear no fruit in my life.

Smoothie Love - Day 30!
Well, it is the last day of the 30 days of change - Smoothie Love, and I have been making a smoothie each day with a host of delicious fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
I have managed to get my routine sorted and it has become like second nature, along with drinking more water each day. For the exercise part of the challenge I had been doing gentle exercise, but for the next 30 days will really get going and focusing on making sure that I get out and about. I wanted to incorporate creativity it may either be photography or art journaling.
Here is the ingredients for the smoothie for today: Carrot, Pear, Banana, Mango, Cashews, Almond Milk, Kiwi for the garnish.
Whatever you decided to do for the next 30 days here are a few tips to keep you going:
- Take one day at a time;
- Follow through;
- If you have an off day don't just scrap the whole thing, but start again tomorrow;
- Don't be too hard on yourself, change takes time;
- Enjoy yourself!
The smoothie is part of the 30 days of change, click on the image below to see what it involves.
