Social media -- I'm G*L*A*D* (see, SARK!)

Social media can be fun, playful and innovative. SARK, the author of "Glad No Matter What," posted a social media activity on her website:

"Be GLAD No Matter What - Give Lovingly And Daringly

This does NOT mean feeling glad when you don't - how annoying. It means finding the glad parts in as many of your feelings as you can and then finding ways to help the world with your GLAD heart. Blog or post your GLAD offerings on social media. It might be large or tiny, common or uncommon. One of my GLAD heart gifts was singing Amazing Grace in the DMV office until everyone joined in!

Write or post a video or art on your blog or social media about your GLAD heart gift and be entered to win a signed copy of the book and a 15 minute Scoop of SARK"

So...here's my artwork--the footprint of "Creating Love and Joy." I'm GLAD social media has come about--it brings the world closer together. It's fun to piggyback on each other's ideas and share our creativity. Hugs--tc

Creating lasting change in our life....

"One of the most powerful ways that we can make permanent changes in our life is to take 10 minutes to read the 33 affirmations in Creating Love and Joy each day when we wake up in the morning and before we go to sleep at night. If our mind wanders to specific life instances as we read through them, we can simply replace any negative thoughts and feelings with pure loving light, and continue reading from where we left off. It is important to be gentle with ourselves. We are learning, we are learning, we are learning. If we review the affirmations at least once each day for 21 consecutive days, our subconscious begins to absorb our new perspective. We begin to see positive, joyful changes in our life (Creating Love and Joy, p. 79)."

Meeting my own needs...

"I trust that I am meeting my own needs, in the perfect manner, and in the perfect amount, at this moment. (Creating Love and Joy, p. 51)."

Rays of Sunshine Radiating Outward....

"I know that, like rays of sunshine radiating outward, we are all unified parts of a larger whole (Creating Love and Joy, p. 73)."

We reap what we sow...

"I trust that the universe is impartial, allowing each of us to experience the consequences of our unique thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions (Creating Love and Joy, p. 49)."

Simple concepts are often not so easy to implement. Think of the simple concept for making money in the stock market: “Buy low, sell high.” It’s not hard to understand. Well, then, why aren’t we all millionaires? Because implementing the concept is not easy.

“We reap what we sow” is also a simple concept. In varying language, this concept is at the base of almost all the world religions. Why is it, then, that even the most spiritual among us take actions against others that they certainly wouldn’t want coming back to them? Perhaps one reason is that employing this concept in EVERY aspect of daily life is not easy. It takes constant vigilance and determination.

Also, we sometimes forget that we have both conscious and SUBCONSCIOUS thoughts. Both influence our actions, feelings, and choices. We may be unaware of the underlying assumptions or judgments that we harbor in our subconscious belief system. When we can raise our subconscious beliefs to our conscious awareness, then we can make a free-will choice about whether or not we choose to continue to employ that belief. It’s important to be gentle with ourselves—we are learning, we are learning, we are learning.

"Creating Love and Joy: Uplifting affirmations to strengthen your spirit" is now available on Amazon.com: http://amzn.com/098186130X !!!

Each of us shapes our lives through our thoughts. When our thoughts are focused on positive relationships, abundance, love, patience, and all the key affirmations presented in this book, our life becomes rich with positive energy. By reading "Creating Love and Joy" each day, we can develop new mental habits to help us break out of the cycle of negative thoughts.

As we begin to focus our thoughts on the positive aspects of our situation, it becomes easier and easier to attract more positive opportunities. We no longer spend our time worrying; instead, we now experience all the abundance, vitality and joy we choose to create in our life.

Most people TRY to remove negative aspects of their life. To better understand how we get stuck in in this unproductive cycle, simply "try" to sit in your chair. You are neither standing or sitting, you are "trying" to sit. Your arms hold your body weight, your legs are bent, your backside is unsupported, and you find yourself uncomfortable in a short period of time. It is better to either sit or stand--and commit to it--than to "try" to sit down.

People who TRY to remove negativity from their life don't realize they simply create more hardship by focusing on what they don't want. Their own conscious and subconscious thoughts are blocking the way to the easier life that they desire.

The positive affirmations presented in "Creating Love and Joy" are extremely powerful tools to develop new mental habits and help us see and implement positive opportunities in our life. Suddenly, we are experiencing healthy relationships, abundance, and joy. Those who brought negative energy into our life seem to fall by the wayside, allowing us to enjoy the flow of positive experiences.

These powerful affirmations are accompanied by beautiful, inspiring photographs that take our mind to a place of relaxation and joy. The photos enhance our ability to visualize the life we choose to create.

This life-enhancing gift can be appreciated by anyone who is facing a challenge or looking to make positive changes. Order your copy today!
