Happy St Patty's to All!

Being originally from NYC, I have fond memories of the wonderful parade and festivities I would be part of with my Irish friends. The weather would almost always be perfect walking around the Big Apple. I remember many of my friends reciting Irish stories, blessings and prayers. I'd love to share a few with you and extend the blessings to all my Facebook friends.


====================
A Tidbit:

When you wish some one the "Top of the Morning" you are wishing them the best part of the morning. To which they can reply, "and the rest of the day to yourself." This is wishing you a good rest of the day.

=====================
A Traditional Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

=====================

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.


========================

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.


Happy St Patty's and namaste
Namaste,
Tina

Honor Your Path

Honor the past as your teacher.
Honor the present as your creation.
Honor the future as your inspiration.

Now is the Time

As we all make new year's resolutions, I want to share the passage below with you. By the way. Hafiz is one of the world's most beloved poets, he is affectionately known as the “Tongue of the Invisible”

Enjoy and Namaste,
Tina

***************************************
NOW IS THE TIME (written by Hafiz, from the book “ The Gift”)

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is Sacred.

Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God.

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live
With veracity
And love

Hafiz is a divine envoy
Whom the Beloved
Has written a holy message upon.

My dear, please tell me,
Why do you still
Throw sticks at your heart
And God?

What is it in that sweet voice inside
That incites you to fear?

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is Sacred.

This is the time
For you to deeply compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything “YOU” do
Is Sacred.

Happy Chanukah to my Jewish Friends!!!!

I want to wish all of you that celebrate Chanukah...a happy one! Although I am not Jewish, I have fond memories celebrating with my dear Jewish friends. La Chiam!

Here is a link to Adam Sandler's infamous song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd9p47MPHg

Here are the lyrics:
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew

You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish

Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah

O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby

Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is

Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukah

Honoring Friends by Letting Them Know They Are Gifts

Today I received this from a friend and I encourage you to take the time out and honor your friends in any way you see fit. It could be a phone call, email, text, hug, card, or feel free to cut and paste the following and use it how you see fit.

Oh, and I dedicate this to all my friends...YOU!

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.

Thanks for being my friend!


Namaste,
Tina

Attitude is Everything!

I've been noticing lately that many people have lost their positive attitude. For some people, their lives have changed due to their financial circumstances or other areas of their lives. They are forgetting that we are all warriors. We can overcome so much. We have the power to transform, transcend and transmute our situations in our lives. We are like butterflies, always in a cycle of transformation. Change is inevitable. Going with the flow is must.

I would like to share with you this story:

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in
the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she
did and she had a wonderful day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that
she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle
today?"
So she did and she had a grand day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony
tail."

So she did and she had a fun, fun day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"


Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is dealing with issues. And when you give out kindness, you get it back tenfold.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Have a Good Day!

Happy October Everyone!

I came across the passage below from the late Christian D. Larsen who was an influential new thought leader. I thought it would be great to embody it as we create another month in our lives. Have the best month ever! Namaste, Tina

"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger. "
