Gimme Some JOY! ~ Larry James
December 17, 2013 by
Gimme Some JOY! The next time you see me or any of your friends, imagine that you hear us say, "Gimme some joy!" and so, you do that. You give them some of your joy. You be the bright spot in someone's day! Don't tell me you don't have any joy because I know you do. Everyone does. This doesn't mean that you will go around joyously all the time. ;-) I doubt seriously if anyone could do that... not all the time. I don't suggest that you "fake it till you make" it because most people I … [Read more...]
Life Goes By in the Blink of an Eye!

Enjoy the blink together. Never miss an opportunity to express your love for your partner - in words and in deeds. Hugs are fun too. Say, "I Love you!" out loud at least once a day!

Be Grateful for Everything!
November 28, 2013 by
Be Grateful for Everything! We set aside November as a special time to be grateful and to be thankful for all our blessings! I'm thinking that it might be a great idea to pause for a few seconds every day to think about something for which we are grateful. Gratitude inspires kindness and connection. I am most grateful for the power of choice. Every day we make thousands of choices about our thoughts, our feelings and our actions. Each choice brings with it it's own consequences. Some … [Read more...]
How deep is your love?
November 10, 2013 by
How Far Would You Go to Prove Your Love? How far would you really go to support someone you say you love? How deep is your love? Have you ever said, "I would give my life for her or him? Would you really jump in front of a bullet for your partner? Under what circumstances? How strong is your commitment? Are you willing to put your commitment on the line? If you would, does that mean that you consider your life as unimportant next to the loved one or is it just something to say to … [Read more...]
Anger Issues?
November 2, 2013 by
Only one thing activates, then converts the negative energy of anger into positive energy... intention. The intention must be to do something different; something that works. When you discover that what you have been doing isn't working, the only logical thing to do is to do something different. We are talking about change. Yes, it is uncomfortable to change. You must decide which is the most uncomfortable. The same energy you expend on anger, when re-directed, can help free you of the … [Read more...]
Change is Good – Reasons Why
October 16, 2013 by
CHANGE IS GOOD We use reasons to explain away why we don't want to do something different; reasons why we don't want to change. If we know that doing something different might help the situation, not doing something different is called "stupid." The best reason why has never solved the problem. Often reasons why are understandable, however what is not understandable is why we feel the need to have our lives dominated by reasons why we didn't do something different instead of focusing on … [Read more...]
