Hey, happy belated summer!  

So sorry I’m late with my summer wishes.  Summer kind of started without me.  My daughter graduated from college last month and my son graduated from high school last week, and my life has not my own for past few weeks.    Whoosh…deep breath and relax. 

This morning, when I thinking about what to write today, I, honestly, couldn’t come up with anything.  I’ve been so busy with everything else that I couldn’t come up with something new, fresh or exciting.  So I took a few minutes to evaluate how I was feeling, what was happening right now to me that I can share with you… 

I’m feeling good, I’m feeling fresh and I’m feeling EMPOWERED!  Okay, I’m feeling a blog coming on. 

Empowered to me means to be awake, alert and having and holding the power of my life in my hands.  Opposite of empowered…powerless, listless, inactive, lack of purpose or drive.  Empowered also means being in sync with all the good, limitless, enchanting energies available to us everyday. 

Let’s take a look at what we can do this week to embrace our empowerment, our zest for life, our search for our passion… 

First, and most important for me, is I feel very energized when I’m making healthy choices which would include making time to prepare healthier, new and exciting meals, taking time to visit the gym, choosing my clothes instead grabbing a pair of black pants and a top, going outside for a walk appreciating what I see, simply grabbing a book and reading in my backyard.  Putting my needs on the front burner truly empowers me and it keep me focused on my health, my importance and my value. 

Then, we must recognize we have everything we need to embrace the good stuff inside us.  No more searching for answers from the experts.  WE are the experts – we have the answers, the solutions, the power to make a difference. 

Next, we must enjoy what we do and if we don’t, then we shouldn’t being doing it… 

I love what’s happening right now – having the time to concentrate on my business, blogging regularly, having more time preparing healthier meals, reading, enjoying some much needed time with friends.  As I mentioned before, this is why I’m feeling so good today.  I have the time to spend with and for myself. 

A few weeks ago, when I was running from here to there, doing this and that for everyone else, I was completely drained, powerless and so fatigued.  My external world was depleting my inner world.

Moving on… 

We can’t keep putting off the good stuff until we are thin, happy, rich, fill in the blank.  No more procrastinating…the fun begins today.  Yesterday, I bought a bathing suit (first time since forever ago), and I have a date to go to the beach with my 37-year-old, sized 4 friend (I’m sure this experience will be an upcoming blog, stay tuned.)

I’ve spent waaay too many days in my past life sitting inside while the whole world was having fun outside.  

We can’t keep staying within our own limitations while our whole life is waiting for us to catch up.  It will never happen – We will never catch up.  It’ll be gone forever. 

Change our vibration…Immediately…like attracts like, doom attracts doom, lack attracts lack…abundance attracts abundance. 

Empowerment is standing up tall, concentrating on what’s working, claiming our abundance, slowing down to enjoy what we have not only focusing on what we don’t.  

Empowerment is grabbing onto the brass ring with both hands, proudly showing it to everyone, feeling and appreciating the power of it and then going out there and sharing it with the universe. 

I’m not going to lie – just writing this has empowered me even more…I hope it does the same for you! 

Remember it’s about time we return to the heart,
