This is probably one of my favourite sayings - I use it much more often at the end of the year, in Christmas cards, wishing people Happy New Year... Because I believe it. I believe that there is far better ahead than what you'll leave behind, to roughly quote C.S Lewis. (My Mom always says to me, don't look in the rearview mirror, you aren't going there!) So onward! Forward! Chin-up Butter Cup- The best is yet to come!

Today I'm experimenting- I'm uploading from my ipad- so I'm hoping this works!

In case you need the perfect last minute gift for someone, I thought I'd share...

A Seasonal Frame:

1.Choose 4-5 printable from different seasons (christmas, new years, easter, Canada Day, Indepence Day, thanksgiving, etc.)
2. Print them off and put them all in 1 frame- make a little note that explains this is a seasonal decoration, it comes with festive prints for each season.

This makes a great gift for teachers, dance teachers, bus drivers, mail carriers, co-workers (because this awesomeness gets to sit on their desk all year long!)


You can do this with :

1. Seasonal Prints
2. Inspirational quotes
3. kids stuff (great for new parents)
4. Coffee Prints (for us coffee lovers, yes please!)

You've still got time to do this tonight for your kids teacher's tomorrow :)

Links for the above prints:
Valentines: Wood You be Mine?
Easter: On a Hill Far Away.
July 4th: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
Thanksgiving: Eat Drink and be Thankful
Thanksgiving / Christmas : Merry Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas
Christmas: Oh Holy Night

Yup it's that time to celebrate, love, joy, peace... hopefully those are values we celebrate all year-every year!

This morning, the coffee is on, Christmas lights are on, I am enjoying the peacefulness this morning...    (I interrupt this blog post for a conversation with the hubby) Well it was peaceful, isn't it crazy how a little spat can change the course of a day?

But I'm choosing to refocus-  I've got too much do be thankful for, I've got too much to do, and there is just too much goodness around me!

When you choose to focus on positivity, hope, gratitude and love, you will always be met road bumps - that is natural, but what isn't always natural, is making the choice to refocus on positivity. It is easier to wallow in pity, frustration, anger and well... basically pout. But you know what-  You've always got a choice. You choose what you focus on!

So today, I will refocus, again, and again, and again- and it will be hard, but it will be worth it!

So here's to Focusing and Refocusing on the important things in life; love, joy, peace, gratitude, hope, and everything else that is positive and refreshing and beautiful!
Merry Everything & Happy Always!

Christmas! Yay! It's coming faster than ever, and I feel like I am missing it... and it hasn't even started!

So today, I am going to focus on the wonder of the miracle of Christmas, I am going to focus my heart and my gratitude on this wonderful time of year, the amazing people in my life, and tracking it all creatively :)

Is there really anything else I can do? What are your plans for this holiday season? how will you make sure it doesn't pass you by? Any ideas, suggestions, thoughts? Please share, I'd love to hear them!

Share the love,

It's a Winter Wonderland out there, but I just might have the solution.
Hats, Soup, Mitts and boots, they'll keep you toasty warm out there so you can enjoy the weather!
Happy Snow Days! Just think there are so many more to come!
