I am always careful to see my glass half full... (Nihao, Cupcake!)

I am always careful to see my glass half full...

because if I see my glass as half empty with no hope at all, then it may as well be empty all the way.

As I begin 2012 having chosen LOVING KINDNESS as my guiding words for the year, I am letting myself be touched and inspired by wonderful role models. I heard this quote last night while catching up on Ophrah's last season. Seeing how Mattie lived his short and challenging life, I have no excuse but to live my life with enthusiastic gratitude every single day.

Thanks, Oprah & Mattie! You both inspire me sincerely to be a better person tomorrow than I am today.

EXCITING GIVEAWAY...

Before the end of the week I will be giving away one spot in Ali Edwards' ONE LITTLE WORD class at Big Picture Classes! Check back soon (later today or tomorrow) for details.

Oh my, that would be a great class to win. I've never chosen a word for the year, but have so enjoyed seeing how it's affected other's lives. Maybe this is the year!?!

I chose my first word last year and was a little hesitant about the whole thing, to be honest. It wasnt the most inspiring word for me in the end, but I really enjoyed the exercises Ali provided us and already this year my word is doing so much for me. I bet youd really like the class.
