Good Deed Challenge!
I would like to make a challenge to all my facebook friends. On September 11, let's all send a card or package with homemade treats or other things they would need, to someone serving in the military. If you don't know anyone serving, let me know and I can help. Pass this on to your friends. Let's try to make this a nationwide mailing.
This was posted by my friend on Facebook. Please consider doing this, it would be an awesome gift to the loyal troops fighting every day for our continued FREEDOM!!! Thanks in advance for your consideration! Love to you all!

Face Your Troubles With A Smile!
Hello all! Today's post will be short due to heavy organizing and cleaning going on in my house! I just wanted to remind my lovely friends and followers that smiling at your troubles is a great way to make them easier to deal with! Don't get caught up in allowing troubles to rule anything in your life. Work on a project or organize something or whatever you can do to chill and work through whatever's troubling you! It really does help! Make your troubles work for you! You can do it! Even if it seems huge, remember, there's always a solution!
Have a great day and smile! Love to you all!
Have a great day and smile! Love to you all!

My Day of Rest
Hello everyone and a good day to all! Today my day of rest will be one of organizing and trying to finish up a few projects that I have put off for way too long. I'm not good at just sitting around and resting, for me I rest better when I'm active and accomplishing things. Accomplishment is my brand of "resting". I love to accomplish things that roll around in my head because then I have more room in there to start new thoughts and projects. Not having anything to do is not good for me. The more I accomplish, the less I dwell on things I have regrets about. I could run myself nuts dwelling if I allowed myself to. I am aware of this weakness and strive to overcome it and be victorious every day! It's always an uphill battle for me and I'm almost always up to the challenge! If we allow ourselves time to dwell on the negatives, we can't accomplish the positive goals we all should have. Make it a point to overcome the negative feelings, the "little voice" that tells us we can't do anything, that we are failures. Truth is,we all fail at some things. The key to this is to try again, just choose a different method of accomplishing your goal! It really works! It's all a matter of choosing to be victorious in our daily struggles. There will be days when the clouds in our minds threaten storms and sometimes, the storms are really hard to avoid. However, with positive thinking, making the decision to not allow those storms to take us down and lots of faith, we can and will be victorious!
I really have to get busy now and avoid the storm clouds today! I had an unusual night of too much thinking about things in the past and today I am determined to accomplish a few things and be victorious over the storms and see my bright sun come out and warm me with it's comforting, positive rays, metaphorically speaking of course! I hope each of you have a comforting, warming day of goodness and positivity! My undying love to you all!

Tonight I am simply going to post another one of my poems. Enjoy!
Just Say No
In a world full of hatred,
In a world full of greed,
In a world where there's always
A great deal of need.
Children are dying,
Parents have no hope,
No one has the time
To sit down and cope.
Fear in the eyes
Of the ones left behind,
Violence occurs
In the daily grind.
We can turn it around
If we tap the desire.
STOP throwing sparks
Into the fire.
Take control now,
While we still have time.
Make a better choice,
Get into the rhyme.
It's all up to us
To create the better way.
It's as simple as that
And that's all I can say

Live Fully!
Live Fully!
And sieze every single moment!
Make your mark in this world!
Go above and beyond every task set forth!
GET OUT OF THAT BOX!!!!
Think as your true conscience dictates,
While never treading on friends or foes' toes!
Be kind to yourself in word, thought and action,
It makes it easier to be kind to others!
Live the best life you can achieve,
And never, ever stop reaching for the stars!
It is your God given right to leap for your highest goals,
So leap high and leap proud!
When you fall, and you will,
Pick yourself up, dust off and look for the next leap of faith!
They are always there to be found!
Love one another and be unconditional in your love!
Life will be so much more beautiful that way!
Have the courage to find your one true love,
Your soul mate,
Your best friend,
And hold them sacred and in highest regard!
They are a true gift from Above!
Just love, live, have peace of mind!

Today Is The Day!
Good morning all! It's a beautiful morning, it's going to be another hot one but beautiful nonetheless! Today is a very special day for me! Earlier this year I became a ViSalus distributor and half heartedly started using the product. Today is the day to truly begin my 90 day challenge and start transforming my body into who I see myself in my mind! I will stay with it, I will promote this product as I have researched enough to see this is not a scam, nor a fly by night company or product.
I will begin by telling you lovely people a story. I am 49 years old. I have 5 kids and as of the end of January 2012 I will have 11 grandkids. I am very family oriented and one of my priority goals in my life is to help others become healthier, happier and wealthier in life and finances. I have been overweight since before I was a teenager and I will NOT be overweight when I turn 50 in March 2012. My father will be 75 in September and is Type 2 diabetic. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March of 2001 when I was diagnosed with fybroid tumors and had to have a hysterectomy. The past 10 years I have struggled with diabetes, sometimes doing the right thing, sometimes not. Last June I went to the doctor and was put on 2 diabetic meds, a high blood pressure med, a cholesterol med and was told to start taking low dose aspirin. I was not a happy camper with myself about that. I have been gearing up since then to lose this weight, get off the meds as fast as possible (I was threatened by the doc to be put on insulin if I don't change my lifestyle) and I intend to realize my goals by the end of January 2012.
My motivation is really quite simple. I watched my mother struggle with Type 2 diabetes for many years. She was good at preaching at me about what I needed to do, but not so good at her own personal follow through. In June of 2006, my lovely mother passed away due to complications of diabetes. When she died she was on kidney dialysis 3 times a week, she was bedridden after going from a walker to a wheelchair, diabetic retinopathy (basically blood vessels pop in the retina causing loss of sight and blindness due to very high blood sugar) and had been in 6 different medical facilities over a span of 4 months. I watched this, begging her to keep a positive attitude and to make a serious change in her life, but to no avail. All of this because she was unwilling to motivate herself and make the necessary changes. Our entire family went through much grief and sorrow as a result of her actions. I WILL NOT DO THE SAME THING!!!! I will use her example as my motivator and make this change and become healthier, happier and able to enjoy my older years with my lovely and beautiful grandchildren, looking forward to the great grandchildren! I will eat to live, not live to eat! My life is full of beautiful family and friends and I want to stay alive and healthy to witness all I can before my time here is over!
I do have 1 request. Please encourage myself and others who have a struggle. It's important that we help one another in our daily struggles to become better, healthier people. It's a goal I have had for years and now I will completely dedicate myself to this goal. I have come clean about my failure to do it sooner and let everyone know where my mind set is now. If there is anyone who needs an encouraging shoulder, I am here. I will help in any way I can and in doing do, I can better help myself. I can't justify speaking it if I can't live it. In other words, I will walk the walk as I talk the talk!
Since this is my personal blog page, I am not going to promote my ViSalus business on here, but I will post updates as to how my my goal is becoming reality and how my business is doing. If you would like more info on my ViSalus business and the product, visit me on Facebook and I will have a link to my ViSalus web page there.
I see that I have been receiving more page views and to all who have visited UpWords, a huge thank you! Please tell your friends and family about my site and remember, I welcome, with an open heart and mind any and all comments! Thank you everyone, love to you all and have an absolutely gorgeous day!
