Calories

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself!

Do you weigh yourself by a calorie and define your career by a salary?

Does a scale decide your day and give you what you weigh?

Do you worry about each bite you take and allow that to determine the mood it’ll make?

How do you weigh the words you say, do you make them matter in your day?

How do you measure the time you stay, is it decided by the clock display?

What determines your worth is it numbers and in girth?

A calorie is not just a calorie when you define your day by the numbers you play?

What if you decided your day by the factor of what you say?

What if you decided what you weighed by the density of your day?

What if the numbers on a scale became just an old story to tell?

Who you are is not a number to see.

Who you are is worth more than weight will ever be.

What if you defined the food you eat by the density of the nutrition instead of the weight?

What if you defined your life, by how you lived it and took your own advice?

What if you decided that a calorie is simply just a word and life was going to be lived not just heard.

Live your life with density, and feel the intensity.

Be fearless and wonderfully made, get you’re a@@ out of the shade.

Stand tall with shoulders back, speak with confidence and a matter of fact.

Take the time to eat what serves you, challenges you and moves you.

Stop complaining about the result you get when you base your life on a number bet.

The choice you make daily will show up without a maybe.

No matter what you sneak the person that matters most is always watching up close.

Shining sunshine on you today, live your life to win it not to just be in it!

Smile

Keep smiling and one-day life will get tired of upsetting you!

Smile

S- Sharing

M-Moments

I-Influences

L-Loving

E-Energy

What if you woke up every morning and put a smile on your face?

What if every person you came across you could embrace?

What if you helped someone every day?

What if you remembered it’s another day?

What if you walked with only confidence and lived your life with significance?

What if every word today sounded like a smile and you kept that for awhile?

What if you held that smile all day and challenged it to not go astray?

What if you received every smile your way and didn’t push it far away?

There is always something you can do to change your day and someone else’s too!

There is someone that needs your smile, are you holding back and waiting awhile?

There is a heart struggling to open, your influence and energy can  be unspoken.

 There is a mind struggling today, will you be the one to encourage their day?

Share a smile with every face, start with your own and practice the pace.

You got this challenge, I’d love to hear, how did you feel, what did you say, how many hearts did you touch today?

Share the Sunshine on your face, today is a beautiful day to embrace!

Let me know how you applied this today, I would love to hear how it changed someone’s day!

Communicate

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

The most important part of communication is to listen to what is not being said.

Peter Drucker

What do I say?

How do I say it?

Will I say it right?

 The heart beats faster, palms are wet, legs are shaking and your mind re-invents.

Breathing becomes secondary and panic sets in.

All of the sudden you realize the reality can win.

Mind has the thoughts, heart has the pace, soul is ready to take its place.

Communication starts inside, listen to the conversation, it is your guide.

What if the conversation inside you said this?

All that flows from you is peace, love and joy.

You have everything abundant inside to enjoy.

Breathe in and out the very best, this moment is yours I’m so impressed.

When the conversation inside leaves no room for fear and doubt, the communication outside moves lovingly out.

Its starts inside the communication guide, read it, it’s all supplied.

What would you tell someone else to do if they were struggling to say something too?

Remember every day that you are the communicator of your way, this lesson is now underway.

This is a gift its part of you, all you have to do is remember you’re important too.

What drives the decision between yes and no is the conversation you have somewhere between your head and your toe.

Let go of the blame the shame and the doubt and converse with the person you can’t live without.

What do you want your walk to talk?

Think about the conversation inside, it is the communication that reflects outside.

Sunshine on your shoulders!

Confidence

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud!

C-Continuous

O-Optimistic

N-Never

F-Failing

I-Intentional

D-Determination

E-Exceeding

N- Numerous

C- Courageous

E- Events

Confidence to stand with your shoulders back.

To walk with purpose.

To consume the best ingredients of life.

To live with an abundance of happiness.

To love, live and laugh.

To cheer for your fellow man.

To grab a hand and lead.

To be a good student

To be a good teacher.

 To listen to your heart and educate your mind with knowledge.

To meet people where they’re at.

To honor and be honored.

To believe that, every day is your day.

Confidence is seen, honored, respected and contagious.

Stand with it, receive it, notice it, own it, be it.

Confidence is a posture of who you are, you possess it by default, and there is no debt to own it or share it.

Stand with the courage to believe it is in you!

Don’t wait for a bill to charge for it, it’s a gift and it’s YOU!

A reminder that you own your own confidence free and clear, quit charging others for it!

If you have been trying to find it, remember that trying is a great way to escape ownership.

You already own it, take responsibility for it, shake the dust off and shine it up!

SUNSHINING ALWAYS!!!

Observe

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

To acquire knowledge, one must study, but to acquire wisdom one must observe.

Marilyn Von Savant

Pouring down rain was calling her name.

The thunder was rolling, her heart was controlling; the rain was calling her in.

 The drops were flowing and the wind was blowing, she heard it and it called her in.

The freedom in the rain silenced any pain it was still calling her in.

 Her clothes were soaked, her curls were gone, drops of water dripped from her head.

The puddle below was a gift to grow, it reflected an amazing glow.

 She stood outside for hours and hours dancing to the sound of the rain.

 Every drop was amazing, she couldn’t get enough; it kept calling her out of the pain.

A hand reached out and said,” MOM lets jump and be glad for the puddle stomping game”.

 They jumped and they jumped and splashed and laughed, they giggled and loved and had a blast.

 Now when it rains it reflects the letting go of the pain.

 The days and years go by, the moments pass your eyes, is your heart in the game or do you stay tame?

 Let go and have fun, jump in the mud, your life has truly just begun.

 When was the last time you truly let go and enjoyed life’s adrenaline run?

 Walk outside and truly decide what will you do today?

 Give to your life your own advice and loosen that invisible vise.

 Observe your life, is it all about strife?

 Do you laugh and play and give thanks all day?

 Do you worry about what others think and allow yourself to become extinct?

Are you holding back what you own, giving your power to the unknown?

 Your day is a mixture of rain and shine, when the puddles show up, don’t ever give up.

 Look at the reflection the puddle gives you and take the risk to be more of you.

 Happiness is inside of you, joy is abundant and proud of you, love is free to give and take, don’t hold it in just begin again.

 Every day is another day to observe and reflect a better way.

 Sunshine and rain are in our days, just shout out, ”I AM SO AMAZED!!!”

The Voice

“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.”
― Spencer Johnson

YES OR NO (or do you hear, you can’t or not sure?)

I WILL OR I WON’T (or do you hear I think I can?)

 I AM A WONDERFUL PERSON (or do you hear I used to be?)

 I CAN AND YOU CAN TOO (or do you hear, ya right she can but you can’t?)

 I KNOW AND WON’T EVER FORGET (or do you hear, you forget everything?)

 I WILL FIND OUT, I WANT TO KNOW (or do you hear I could never figure that out?)

I LOVE NO MATTER WHAT (or do you hear, I used to love all the way but I was hurt and now I can’t.)

 I LIVE AND LEARN (or do you hear I live but I’m not living ?)

 I LAUGH AND LOVE EXCITEMENT (or do you hear I used to laugh all the time?)

 IT’S WONDERFUL AND YOU WON’T CHANGE MY MIND (or do you hear I think that’s wonderful but..?)

Do you hear the constant voice that argues with what you really want, and who you are?

What if you stopped arguing and just showed that voice the truth?

What if you joined arms with that voice and showed it you can too?

What if instead of fighting you just said,”I love you and I’m sorry you were hurt, but you’re safe with me now?”

What if you screamed at the top of a mountain to that voice,“I will grab your hand and show you it’s wonderful, glorious and amazing here?”

What if all you had to do is join together with that voice and give it a yes or no and be clear and concise?

What if all you had to do is teach it to love no matter what?

How do you feel when you’re left behind?

How about if you honored that voice and cheered it on?

I LOVE THAT VOICE THAT CHALLENGES ME.

I LOVE THAT VOICE THAT PUSHES ME TO DO MORE.

I WILL NURTURE THAT VOICE AND STOP TALKING BEHIND ITS BACK.

I WILL LOVE THAT VOICE AND HONOR IT AND TEACH IT WHAT THE TRUTH IS AND STOP LEAVING IT MAD.

I WILL SHOW THAT VOICE AND LEAD THAT VOICE AND GIVE IT A SAFE PLACE TO BE APART OF MY LIFE.

I WILL GRAB A HOLD OF THAT VOICE AND LOVE IT AND HUG IT AND TEACH IT, THIS IS A SAFE PLACE TO BE.

There is always Sunshine, be the solution not the problem!

“Life isn’t about getting and having, its about giving and being”

Kevin Kruse

Inspired

By the sun

The moon

The stars

The clouds

The rain

The trees

The flowers

The bees

The birds

The frogs

The fish

The fire

The flames that ignite our heart mind and soul, feel it, know it, live it, and don’t forget it.

The sounds that cheer us to the finish line, keep them, hear them, know them and reach for them.

The scents that remind us of something wonderful breathe it and remember it.

The beauty of a hug that lasts long enough to exempt any anxiety, this is a gift, take it, hold it, enjoy it and receive it.

The wonder of the ocean, hear the majestically magnificent sounds, powerful and amazing shaking up your soul.

The miracles of a baby, love them, teach them, kiss them and share your heart with them.

When a wounded heart opens up, the flood gates of inspiration pour out, be open, be kind, and listen to the sound of healing.

A wave good-bye that says see you soon, there is no goodbye’s when a heart is attached, it keeps you forever touching each other’s path.

A kiss thrown across the room, catch it, hold it, it has weight and volume, you must know it.

A look that can’t be put into words but says it all, eyes speak a million words, share it, believe it and know how to read it.

A letter written with a pen and paper, send it, give it, take the time to live in it.

Inspiration is everywhere, look around, soak it in, and let the sunshine shine in.

Remember Who You Are

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Never forget who you are.”

Lion King

Remember when you start your day that smiling is okay.

When the sun rises and shines on you, don’t forget you asked it to.

When a child smiles and laughs near you, don’t forget to laugh and smile too.

When a stranger looks at you, don’t forget you’re a stranger too, smile and say, “Have a good day”.

When you are blessed to eat a meal, don’t forget how good that feels.

When you make a new friend make sure you don’t forget you’re on the other end.

In the cracks and crevices of the day, don’t forget to play.

When your heart is telling you to do something more, remember it’s an open door.

When you promised to let it go, remember the person you have to face daily knows.

When you’re given a chance to rest, remember you asked for that when stressed.

Remember the little things around, and life will be profound.

Remember who you are today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not come, today is a chance to overcome.

Shining sunshine on who you are, a reminder you have come so far.
