Do You as Only You Can

Hey world, How has everyone been? WOW ... Spring will be here in a matter of hours. Do you have your spring cleaning To-Do List out with red marker in hand to check off the completed tasks like, "Vacuum up dust bunnies that have hibernated and multiplied under the bed all winter", or "Clean green moldy thingy that has sprouted legs in veggie bin of fridge" ? Is there any "Do Me" on that list of yours? Sooo many times we esp. we women have everyone else's needs on our minds and in our hearts except our own. Yes, we are care givers and nurturers by nature, but why do we find it so hard to give ourselves some much needed TLC ? In order to fully give to others we need to give ourselves full permission to love ourselves freely and without the guilt trip that we should reserve for our children and forgetful hubby's. Can you give yourself permission ... maybe? ... no? ... Well then I will give it to you ... I, COACH BLISS, being of sound mind ( ?) GIVE YOU HELEN HOMEMAKER & ELLA THE ENTREPRENEUR AND YES YOU, BETTY BUSINESS WOMAN FULL AND COMPLETE PERMISSION TO PUT "YOU" FIRST ON YOUR PERSONAL TO DO LIST. BY ALL THE POWER INVESTED IN ME HERE IN THE STATE OF PA. Any violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law . So watch it. Don't know where to begin with all this new found power ? May I make a suggestion ? Make a personal to do list ... List all the things you would do if you new you would not fail.

1. Write children's book
2. Throw a girls only getaway with your best gal pals
3. Return to school for that degree
4. Start that career
5. etc.

These are just some examples to get the creative juices flowing. Cut out some me time in your schedule ... Find a quiet place ... Grab some of that special herbal tea you have been saving for a special occasion (like now !) ... Pray ... Get a notebook & pen and release those creative dreams that you have had bottled up for various reasons. Now, don't worry about why or how long they have been bottled up, that is not the purpose for this exercise. I want you to dream ... Dream ... DREAM BIG & IN LIVING COLOR ! Sweep out the mental dust bunnies along with the doubts that have blocked your progress. Endless ideas have been deposited in you by the MASTER CREATOR HIMSELF and only you can bring them to fruition.

Let me let you in on a secret ... Time is going to pass by anyway. Whether you live you dreams or not. So why not live the rest of your life on your terms and by your rules ?!!! OK ?!

~ Homework Assignment ~ Set up three to do lists ... 1. Short term goals (goals that can be completed in 3 months or less) 2. Mid term goals (goals to be completed within a year to two years) and 3. Long term goals (goals that are just as important but may take longer than two years to complete).

Share some of your goals with us ... just have fun doing it.

Love your family everyday like you will never see them again ...

Plant seeds of love and watch them grow ...

And let GOD do the rest.

Blessings of BLISS
