When You Are, Proclaim It!

My short time thus far here on Earth has been eventful to say the least.  I've done things that I don't think I'll ever whisper aloud, even to the darkest of night.  I've endured incredible bouts of tribulations.  I've lost, I've hurt, I've hit rock, rooock bottom.  My life transition over the past year certainly is not the worst thing I've ever endured, but it's been the most eye-opening.  Somehow I've learned to give pause to remind myself of how blessed I am no matter how many aches and pains I continue to endure.  As I sit here, exhausted already from overwhelming myself with my typical "stuff-the-pot-full" antics, trying to finish a big client project, stress over getting my critters in order for my first company trip, my packed week of endless event preparation aaaand get more than 4 hours of sleep, I am smiling.  How...why?  Because I am BLESSED!  

Sometimes you have to just sit back and ignore all of the noise.  Too often we get stuck in fearing the results of a challenge or an opportunity, rather than proclaiming how blessed we are to receive it.  I am a perfect example of someone who allowed the noise to affect me throughout all of my previous struggles.  Allowing myself to be dragged further down by my own thoughts and anxieties was what kept me stuck and in anguish for way too long.  And nothing is worse than a life of regrets for lost time.  So let it go, turn off the noise, buck up and focus on movin' on up. 

How?  It's easy!  When you are - Proclaim it!  When you are happy, say it!  When you are excited, feel it!  When you are giddy, giggle!  When you are blessed, SCREAM IT!  Feed yourself with the positive vibes that make all of those wonderful feelings and more possible.  Let those feelings of joy and happiness drown out the noise.  Stop letting the noise take over everything in your life that is good.  Shut it up, turn it off, let it be gone!  No matter what you are going through, what you have gone through, what you may or may not have, no matter what, YOU ARE BLESSED!  Count your blessings, each and every one of them!

10 fingers and 10 toes?  You are blessed!  
A roof over your head no matter the condition?  You are blessed!  
A thinking head between your shoulders?  You are blessed!
Can you laugh?  You are blessed!
Are you reading this right now?  You are blessed!  

Need more help?  You just let me know!  If you have an open mind to receive them, I PROMISE we will find everything that you are blessed with.  When you can focus only on those, then move forward.  After that my friends, the future is brighter than bright.  So get your shades on.  You ready?  Join me, feel it, believe it, proclaim it: "I AM BLESSED!"

Forgive and Let Live!!!
