Wednesday

Good Morning,
As the New Year approaches... we get to reflex, and plan how we want are year to go.I want to encourage you to keep the same excitement that you have on New Years Eve. Everybody gets so excited, and starts there New Years Resolutions, and then as the months go by they go back into there old ways of being..forgetting that excitement , and Joy they felt about the New Year.

I encourage you this New Year to focus on resolutions that you intend to keep. Write down in your Journal everything you plan on getting, and doing this New Year. How can you make this world a better place? How can you be a better person? how can you be the light that God created you to Be?Figure out things that enhance lives. Instead of all these shallow resolutions that you never keep, and then you feel guilty, because once again you set a resolution that you didn't keep.

Start this Year Amazing, and Powerful by... being an positive role model, and making a difference in yourself and others. Be genoureus, and thoughtful, and a giver of Love. Unconditional Love is the only thing that will make you happy. It is not a bigger House, a nicer car, more stuff does not make you happy. You have to create your own Happy within yourself. Some of the Richest people in the world are miserable, because all they have is stuff, and they don't love themselves. So please start this Year looking deep inside yourself, and become a greater, Better person it starts with you. You are the Leader, and you deserve to have as much love as Possible. Remember" Positive creates Positive," and " Negative creates Negative." You get to Choose your perfect Life.

This 2010 I'm allowing... Positive flow in mine, and my family's life's, and I choose to live in Abundance... of love, and Finances, Great Health, and I intend to be even a greater more powerful woman.I choose to be the light that God created me to be... everyday from this day forward.
Love and Peace to you, and your family's this New Year, make it the best ever,Ursula

Good Morning,
Wow, what an exciting time to be alive....Its almost 2010. We made it to see modern technology.
How exciting... things have really moved forward. Everything is high tech. in smaller packages. I got my kids MP3 players that are crazy small, and they do everything , camera, web cam, recorder, you name it it does it. Times have really changed. Then you have to figure out how to work all this high tech stuff that you get , and receive...Crazy Right.

I feel like as a mom living in this world of High tech. Computers, and I Pod's, and video games, and Facebook... that I some how have to know how to relate to this generation, so I'm trying to keep up with it all to communicate with this younger generation. they are way smarter than I am. My kids are so amazing with the computer, and all there gadgets.... it amazes me. If I have any questions I just ask them, and they always no what to do.

Pretty soon we are all going to have plug in cars, and using Bio fuel. I'm so grateful to be going green with as much as possible. My family has been green for awhile we use all Eco-friendly products, and green light bulbs, and as much solar as possible,and Organic,and recycle.

WE can make this the best 2010 ever... embrace this New Year, and make it the best year Ever. Celebrate all the new, and exciting changes that are happening with this New Year...And, Yes even Celebrate all the High tech things that we don't know how to work, because our kids do.Our kids our our future so stay close with the younger generation they have alot to teach us, and we have alot to teach them.

Blessing and Love Always,Ursula

MONDAY

Good Morning,
My kids were home all last week, and this week as well. Last week was all about getting ready for Christmas, and spending quality time with my kids,and now this week its about them playing there new games, and seeing there friends that they miss.

My Jeep broke down the last day of school so its been parked in the garage for a week,tonight it goes to the shop to get fixed, so that it will be ready before School starts. Always something going on that's for sure.

I am so very grateful that I work from home... so that I don't miss out on the kids when there home. I can just rotate my schedule, and spend as much time with them as possible they are growing so fast, and before I know it... they will be off to College.

I wish you, and your family a blessed week, and remember slow down , exercise, and take great care of yourself, and now that Christmas is over its time to start eating healthy again, Love Always, Ursula

Thursday

Good morning Friends,

Its starting to look alot like Christmas.

Everywhere I go Christmas lights, Christmas songs, and presents everywhere, and everything says its on sale. This time of year can either be filled with joy or pain for many it can be a time to reflect on family, for others it can be stressful...do to money, and having to buy extra stuff, and there living pay check to pay check. Make sure you make the smart choice for you, and your family. Live within your means even at Christmas time.

I encourage all of you to get creative in your giving this time of year, and only give what you can give, even if its just your time or your friendship... share kind thoughtful words, exchange cookies with your neighbors. Whatever you can do, do it today it will not only get your mind off of yourself ... it will lift your spirit. Sometimes people think they have to spend alot of money on someone to show how much they love them. Some of the best gifts I have been given during the Holiday season where gifts of Love that where hand made, and powerful words in a card, or actions that show you they love you. So remember don't stress out about spending alot of money this year...instead remember JESUS and remember to treat people the way that you want to be treated, and slow down. I see so many people over booking there schedule,and feeling very frazzled... it does not have to be this way, and what you cant do, don't do. There is a powerful word that I have learned and that is "NO" Only do what you can do to stay peaceful everything else someone else will have to do.

Also remember this time of year if you over book yourself then you will not be able to take great care of yourself, and if that happens nobody will be happy "IF Moms not Happy Nobody Is" So make time for yourself even when the kids are home for the Holiday Break. Exercise daily, eat right take your vitamins, and surround yourself with positive people, and be the light that God created you to be. Thursday is one of my favorite days,and tonight my daughter gets to dance.. as she loves to do, and I get to go to Yoga class. life is good you just have to make it that way you are in control of your life... be a leader. Peace,and Love always, and I wish you a blessed weekend, Ursula

Tuesday

Good morning,

The Schools here had a two hour delay, because of snow and freezing rain. So I decided to exercise as usual downstairs, and my daughter made breakfast for her boys... as she calls her brothers. I started out feeling tired and stressed about the holidays, and about them having a two week vacation. After I exercised I realized that as long as I keep taking great care of myself it makes my energy level increase and I no longer feel stressed, and tired. It is like a miracle , so I encourage all of you out there to keep with an exercise routine because it will not only jump start your metabolism it will make you feel so much better, and then you will be able to deal with anything that comes your way.

I started yoga last week Thursday evening I had heard it was wonderful for your body mind and spirit, so my friend invited me. I have to tell you it was fabulous. I was sore for two days your body gets stretched into places its not use to. I workout at home on my elliptical, and Pilate's, and bands, and weights. This just goes to show you how wonderful Yoga is.

How great it is to do wonderful things for yourself, and others. look around this Holiday season, and find out who you can be a blessing too. When you do great things for yourself, and others how magical your life becomes. Because I decided to get excited about my kids having two week vacation, we are going to have an amazing time. Retrain your thoughts and emotions today to be positive, and live your best life always, Blessings Ursula

Monday

Good Morning,
This is the last week of School, before the Christmas Break they get two weeks off of School. Today , and the rest of this week is rapping presents, and enjoying my nice quiet time while I can. Having three teens can get pretty loud, and crazy. Oh and I will be grocery shopping to fill the freezers. My kids panick when there convient food is out. I make homemade healthy meals, and they would prefer Hot pockets, frozen pizzas, frozen burritos, and anything they can warm up fast.

It snowed a couple of inch's this weekend so the my kids got to play out in the snow...which they love to do. It may snow again today the weather man said, so we will see. My Garage is fixed just in time for the snow. Life is good I just have to get my Christmas cards done.

I have to confess that I have been putting alot of pressure on myself about getting all the Christmas presents that my kids want, and stressing out about the cost of everything, and It is not working for me to feel so much pressure, so today is a new day, and I'm letting it go. They will get what we can afford with cash money, and nothing else. I want to encourage all of you to remember what Christmas is about, and don't let greed get involved. Please do not get yourself in credit card dept for Christmas... that is not what Christmas is for. We need to teach are children that they cant just focus on Material items over the holidays, we have to give back. may your day be blessed and full of love always, Ursula

Wednesday

Good Morning,
This week has been a great week. I got my spring for my garage... so the garage will be working soon. It has been nice, and quiet, and peaceful. Tomorrow I get to take a day off with my wonderful friends, we will finally all will be together, there has been so much going on in every ones life's that it doesn't always work out that we can all be together. I am looking forward to great friends, and great laughter.

Today as cold as it is the lights go up on the house, great exercise climbing up, and down the ladder in the cold. There is so much to be grateful for this time of year. I do believe in miracles, and I am so grateful for them. When you live your life focused on the positive everything is a gift, and a miracle. Look around and find out who you can make a difference with....just by being the light that you are. Allow your light to shine bright so that everywhere you go people feel it, and it changes them just by being in your presence...WE all have the ability to make a difference. Slow down and take the time this holiday time to pay attention to the people around you. set realistic goals for yourself so that you don't have to rush around everywhere you go. that is how I plan to spend this holiday season, just being grateful for my health,family, friends,animals, and the people I come in contact with. Doesn't it make you fill good when people you don't know take the time to compliment you,smile at you, and say Hi to you. I know for me it makes me feel good..so you can also make someone feel special, and loved by kind words and actions.

Make today a great day, and remember slow down take a deep breath, and relax this Holiday season, and see if it makes a difference in how you feel, and makes a difference with people you come in contact with. We do have the power to change our lives, and people around us....Be the light of the party. Peace and love always, Ursula
