Well good morning!

My heart is full on this Christmas eve day.  It is not full in a way I had imagined it would be.  As 2013 is drawing to a close I like to think of what I have learned.  What is it I can let go of?  What is it that I can take with me?  This is what I know today.

1.  My beloved Allie and Teddy are always going love me unconditionally as long as they are here.  When they pass from this life, their Spirit will remain with me, still loving me.

2.  Time and time again I must learn to forgive.  This is not easy at all.  People fail.  People disappoint.  People don't love unconditionally.  That is where forgiveness comes in.  Forgive every second of every day.

3.  Accept that everything happens for a reason.  Despite the humanness of people there are still good people in the world.  There are still people who inspire and strive to be their best selves.

4.  There is only this moment.  What will I do with it?  What matters?  What is important?  Who is important?

5.  Love myself.  If I don't love myself, unconditionally then who will?  I need to love who I am in this moment, even my own humanness.  I am lovable.  Love makes everything better.

6.  Laugh.  Life is too short.  I haven't laughed enough this year.  I am going to laugh more starting now.

7.  I need to be outside more connecting with nature.  I think that is where I will become grounded.  I think I can find peace in nature.

8.Smile.  I need to find countless number of reasons to smile.  I think my world will be better if I smile.

9.  Joy.  I need to find Joy in all that I am.  I think my life will be better if I do.

10.  Gratitude.  I need to always be thankful for everything and everyone in my life.  Gratitude brings more blessings.

Well It's Saturday Night and I felt like I should share with my Dearhearts

Hello everyone!

We have completed another week of our Thankfulness Journey.  We are just over half way now.  I am saving my very best for the last day.  Those of you who know me well will know exactly what I am talking about.

I have to say I have had one of the most amazing weeks.  It's like I want to look over my shoulder and say is this really happening to me?  Is this my life?  Am I really getting to live my dream?

Indeed I am.  I am growing Dearhearts.  You are a part of the growing process and you may not even realize it.  I love being able to see what's happening with you on Facebook.  If you ever feel inclined, feel free to email me and share an "ah-ha" moment.  I would love to hear what's going on in your lives.

I feel even more blessed and thank God and the Universe for all that I am given.  My heart is full and even overflowing.

As we near the end of 2013, I have been thinking about all that has taken place.  I have learned so much.  I love it!  I know 2014 will be another wonderful year of learning.

And so I close with this:  Be your very best self.  What ever that is for you, just be him or her.  It is worth every single thing you must do to be her/him.  I promise you will have no regrets for rising to the challenge.

Know I love you so much
Maria

A Sunny Sunday

Hello my Dearhearts!

I hope that the last week has treated you well.  I have been blessed abundantly and feel so grateful.  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year.  It gives me a chance to see where I have been in the last year and where I dream to big in the upcoming year.

So, where have I been?  It has been a year full of learning.  A relationship ended, Teddy has surgery, I've gained a little weight, but most importantly I think of all you.  It is because of you that I am growing with unlimited potential.  This excites me and I am always surprised what what transpires.

I like to look at the lesson I can take away from any situation.  At first it may not be easy for me, but in the end I like to think I am able to see the lesson.

In life I believe there are many lessons.  It is up to us to see the lessons.  But only if we choose.  We can choose to leave the learning alone and continue on our path.  Or, we can choose to dig a little deeper and learn from what has transpired.

It is my hope that as I continue on my journey that I always see the lesson.

Anyway, these are just some of my thoughts today.

PS.  Catch us on facebook.  We are on Day 10 of the Thankfulness journey.  I am loving it!

love ya
Maria

The Universe

Hello Dearhearts!

I hope as you read this that you are well.  Truly, that you are smiling on the inside.  That deep down you know you matter.  Some times I think I feel small is this vast Universe.  But then I realize the Universe knows exactly who I am.  In fact, she watches me all the time and wants me to achieve my Highest Potential.  The Universe loves me, supports me and gently guides me on the path of self discovery.

So, what is that?  What is my path?  Who am I?  Even better, who do I want to be?  I have an inspirational lady by the name of Sandi Krakowski on my facebook page.  Tonight on one her posts she said to DREAM BIG.  I stopped to think, "What do I want to dream for today?"  I dream of a world free from fighting, illness and ignorance.  I dream I live in a place do lush and beautiful that all who know how to find this place never want to leave.  These are just a couple of things.  I could keep going, the list never seems to stop.

What is it you dream BIG for today?  Write it down and make it happen.  Keep it close to you.  That way you won't forget.

 We are on Day 2 of the Thankful 2013 journey.  Remember to check in on facebook so we can keep the thankfulness momentum going.

May your dreams be unlimited and abundant.
love you

Good Morning Dearhearts!

It has been a while since I wrote.  Life always seems to be so crazy.  I am working on that.  I am learning what is important and what I need to let go of.  Some things are easier than others to let go of.  What I know is that when I am ready to release what no longer serves me then I allow for space for something new to enter my life.  When I think about it this way I am excited.

Today I would like to talk to you about kindness.  I have been thinking about this for a while now.  I have decided that we can never have too much kindness in the world.  In fact, I think we need more kindness.

That is where you and I come in.  We can decide to be the kind of people that when we walk in the world we are kind.  At the end of the day we can know when we walk with kindness as our companion we have lived up to our Highest Potential. 

We can choose to be kind.  We can choose to be be our best selves.  When we make this choice it separates us from the norm.  Life would tell us we are too busy to be kind.  Life would tell us that others are not kind so why should be kind.

That is exactly the reason we should be kind.  By being kind we can become our best selves.  By being kind we can let our light shine in the world.  By being kind we can share that light with others.  It becomes the domino effect and pretty soon those we share kindness with are sharing kindness with those they come in contact with.

What would the world be like if all of us here were kind?  As I strive to be even more kind Dearhearts, I challenge you to be your BEST SELVES and be KIND.

Love you
Have a great weekend
Maria

Good Evening Dearhearts

I hope you are well and are enjoying an Abundantly Blessed week.  So much has been on my mind.  My goal to lose 1 lb still stands.  I didn't make it --Yet.  I am going to get there.  Unlimited Potential is on the horizon.  I just know it is.

So I was thinking today of a topic to speak about at my Toastmasters group next Wednesday.  At first I thought it would be about how Teddy is healing from his surgery.  That didn't seem to flow.  Then I thought it would be about speaking to others with kindness.  Something that is very important to me.

I decided on "What Does Leadership Mean to Me?"  I came up with several parts of what I desire from myself as a Leader of my Young Living Team, Unlimited Potential.  The parts are as follows:

Welcome
Inform/Educate
Communicate
Motivate
Support/Encourage
Inspire
Gratitude.

I was pretty happy with the 7 parts I came up with about how I feel about Leadership.  I have seen some really great leaders.  My friend Barb S.  is a great leader and is continually motivating her team to continue to follow their limitless potential.

Unfortunately, I have also seen leaders that seem to have missed the mark.  I realize, I can learn from them as well.

There is always a lesson for me, regardless of the situation I am in.

So as I get ready to dream magnificent dreams tonight I may suggest to you that you continue on your path, whatever that may be to reach your unlimited potential.  And, if you find road bumps along the way, keep moving forward.  Those bumps are there to teach you too.

As always know that I love you

Your Story

Hello again

It has been quite the day.  I will be honest and share that my unlimited potential mindset wasn't quite what I hoped it to be.  What I did think about was how precious our life is.  That absolutely everything in it is a gift.

I thought to myself that I am one blessed lady to have the life I had.  I am not even quite sure how it all happened to be this way.  I am grateful for each day I wake up and have the chance to write my own story.

What do I want my story to be like today?  Who will I allow in my story?  Where do I want to be?  These are things I think about.

Well as you head to sleep dear ones dream off all you desire and keep those dreams close to your heart and as the story you write unfolds may it be all you desire.

Be safe and know that I am thankful for all of you.

Good Night Dear ones

It has been an interesting day.  So much going through my mind.  It is like I am watching a movie.  Yet I wonder where do I fit in?  Where do I want to fit in?  Who am I in this movie? 

Who is the the star in your movie?  In my heart, I am the star of my movie.  It is my hope you are the star of your movie.

As you lay your head on your pillow dear ones, dream of all the wonderful things you desire in your life.  As you replay your day, see yourself shining.  You deserve to shine.  You are the star in your movie.  Remember that.  If nothing else stays with you about your day, remember to shine brightly.

You were made to shine with your unique and beautiful gifts.  Those gifts are yours.  You can decide to keep them hidden or share them with others.

Good night my dear hearts.  Know that I am thinking of you and wishing you love
Maria

You are amazing! Nothing and I mean nothing can stop you now.

So I was thinking that no matter how hard others in the world try to knock you down, you let nothing stop you from achieving your potential.  There will always be others out in the world trying to make you feel like you don't matter.  I am here to tell you that YOU ARE AMAZING!  YOU..YES I AM TALKING TO YOU ARE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.

Love ya!

Healthy Weight

Good Morning Everyone!

I have decided to start a blog on unlimited potential.  I am super excited about all the things to share on this topic.

Let me ask you this:  What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the words "unlimited potential?"

Have an unlimited kind of day
love
Maria
