Juggling glass balls in a quest for balance

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

 

·       Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

·       Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

·       Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

·       Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

·       Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

·       Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.

·       Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

·       Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

·       Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

·       Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

·       Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

·       Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.”

This article was so good that it stands on its own.  There are some truly great lessons to be taken from it. I love learning from inspiring words and thoughts of others.  I highly recommend keeping your own book of motivational quotes and stories to read whenever you are having a difficult day.  They work wonders for lifting you up and getting you back in a positive mindset.

Need a wedding planner

Mandy got engaged to her sweetheart and the date is set for August 10th. After much debate whether Mandy should get married in October or August, the decision was made to get it done before school starts and we are now in full blown wedding preparation mode.

The engagement is short compare to some that prepare for a year. There are so many things to think about and so much to do: invitations, picking out the colors, venues, booking photographers, flowers, music, decorations, favors, photo booth, food, registering for gifts, the reception, the honeymoon, where to live, and all whole nine yards. No doubt it's going to get crazy!

Mandy and Spencer were a little surprised to find out that weddings aren't as easy as planing for another event, say a graduation or a birthday celebration. They had no idea of the chaos they would be stepping into the next few weeks. The time has come and the clock is ticking. Just a few more weeks and the big day is approaching.

Today she found her dress. She has so fallen in love with this dress and even though it is strapless the way most wedding dresses are now days, it will have to get altered. She loves this dress so much! She sent me a picture over the phone and she looks so beautiful I could cry. My baby will soon be known as Mrs. Morrison.

From the time you hold that little baby in your arms, you dream of this day when she will find her soul mate. Someone who will cherish her and love her forever. This is what every mother wants for her child.

Con amor,
Vero
