OM.2 Day 5

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” - Coco Chanel

Day 5 will encourage us to look at our daily habit of how we get dressed for the day. Today I encourage you to make some changes to your appearance in perhaps one of the following ways:
1 - Wear something you have never worn before
2 - Style your hair differently
3 - Wear something that you have been nervous about receiving criticism from
4 - Change your routine, and perhaps take time to get dressed slowly and pay particular attention to your clothing (i.e make time to iron or steam clothes)

I am a firm believer that the person makes the clothes, and the clothes do not make the person. I also think that because we make the clothes, we must acknowledge that our appearance is wholly based on our choice of priorities. If you ever feel not 100% satisfied with your appearance, let Day 5 be the day that you proclaim satisfaction in your appearance and that you take the responsibility and the time to create the appearance that you feel right about.

Thought of the Day: Giving

Thought of the Day:

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." - Luke 6:38

I want to thank all of you who have shared with me your opinions, honesty, gratitude, and criticism with me thus far.  Particularly I am thankful to be able to share with you all and work as a community on strengthening and building our faith, confidence, love and all that good stuff.  

I have a yoga teacher who often during our practice will remind us that yoga is a practice that shows that you truly get what you give.  She always says that the practice of yoga wants you to give as much as you can, but it will never ask more than what you have to give.

Similar to life and with your affirmations and the new transformations that you all have decided to work on, you must continue to give all that you have.  What you have may change daily, but give all of it, give all of your heart to your practice of life and your practice of affirming.  All that you give out to the world and to yourself you receive instantly.  So give to your spirit and soul - nurture and spend time building this true and beautiful part of yourself that wants for you to be free and a joyful being.  And give to those around you.  We all have something so special to give and share - don't be shy with it, it wants to come back and give to you!
