May any negative energy trying to bring you down come to an end.

May the dark thoughts, the over-thinking, and the doubt exit your mind.

May clarity replace confusion. May hope replace fear.

May blessings fill your life.

Here's What May Be Good For You

This is how I see it. Doing things for you is good for you. No eye rolling with the 'ya duh' I knew that kinda sound either please. I'm serious. I have something you can do for you and it won't make you gasp or freak out because it's one more thing added to your calendar ... every day! It's so good.

It's Calm for you. That's right. It's Calm. With a capital "C" (another 'C' word I love). 

Consider using this amazing piece of "Calm" as a means to what may help you be good to you. It's free!

ps: Consider signing up for the free monthly subscription calendar, that auto-populates your calendar. I DID! I'm loving a calendar entry that's good for me every single day.

❓❓   Did you know  ❓❓      Stress is good for you!

Have you read that quote already? Yup, you did. I shared this quote in last month's newsletter. It's so good I wanted you to read it again.

Thank You Thank You Thank You to those who have submitted your Deerdra colouring pages! The inspiration is over-flowing. Do you suddenly have FOMO? Or have no idea what I'm talking about? I introduced the opportunity to "Let's get colouring" in my last newsletter.

What Not To Do.

To balance all the good things you will do for yourself, it's just as important not to do some stuff. Especially for good mental wellness. Here's a wonderful piece on how to keep mentally strong by NOT doing a few things. I hope you check it out - save it - print it - and remind yourself of these 13 things every single day!

The 9th of May is Mother's Day!

I have wisdom and I have means

All because I have Mom’s genes.

You know Mom is happy when she laughs out loud

And I’m her daughter … couldn’t be more proud.

When adversity hits sometimes with a blur,

I dig for her testaments ‘cause of her character.

Determined, stubborn, whatever it be

All of it has rubbed off on me.

WOW is Mom - upside down.

Mother is a verb, not just a noun.

Valuable lessons come from all that you do.

My drive to succeed rest assured is from you.

With courage and strength that I have come to be

Sourced from a strong woman, who loved and raised me.

Mom cares for many people who need it the most,

She has a heart of gold, I admire and toast.

I am who I am, Mom planted the seed

For growing and learning, I take her lead.

Wise, perceptive, no problem too big.

When you got Mom on your side, one can zag and zig.

The biggest treasure of all is my face with a smile

From her laughter and happiness, when it carries a mile.

From times that have been good through storms to the calm

I’m lucky and fortunate, she’s the MOMent ……. my MOM.

Two good reasons to leave you with a smile

Never stop being a good person,

FAWNdly & inDEBted ...

Will you pay-it-forward?
