“May the road rise” Irish Blessing

Carol 8 Comments

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields,

and until we meet again, 

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Keep Kindness In Your Heart Printable

Carol 12 Comments

I like to do inspirational prints as it helps me stay focused on what is important in life.  The last two years have been crazy. It is amazing the irrational way some people act with so much anger.  I try to stay positive and centered, and I wish the same for you.  Today’s printable is on one of my favorite topics, Kindness.  I made it several years ago for my email subscribers.  Today I am sharing it with everyone.  I think all of us need a reminder to be kind. It costs nothing and can make a huge difference to someone else’s day.

Small Things Become Great Inspirational Printable

Carol 12 Comments

Today’s inspirational quote is from Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910 to 1997). During her lifetime Mother Teresa became famous as the Catholic nun who dedicated her life to caring for the destitute and dying in the slums of Calcutta – now known as Kolkata. She set up soup kitchens, a leper colony, orphanages, and a home for the dying destitute. She treated the lepers, educated the poorest of the poor, and fed the homeless. She treated them like her family.

 

Her message to me was that you don’t have to do big or great things to help.

Small things become great when done with love.  

I love to surround myself with words and images that embrace positive attitudes and foster peace, love, and kindness.  Today’s printable is sized 12″ x 12″.

Give Thanks

Carol 12 Comments

We’re in the holiday season, and for the next few months, our lives are packed with activities. Today I’m asking you to stop and take a minute to be grateful.  It’s good for your brain, body, health, and for everyone around you.   Studies show that practicing gratitude releases positive neurochemicals, like dopamine, and engages the reward system in the brain. Your attitude of gratitude builds long-lasting reward circuits that are coupled with positive behavior and thought patterns developed through meaning and intention. The simple act of gratitude strengthens positive brain circuits allowing for greater brain power and prosperity.
