Put love in your heart

"studies reveal that the more social connections you have, the better your overall health."

I like that, and I think that the better you feel about yourself the more you want to go out and make connections.

What will it take for you to feel better about yourself right now?

Think in terms of happy, healthy, strong and alive.

I am still on a healing journey so my thoughts go to the healing arts. Some of the things that make me feel better are acupressure, reiki, and getting my nails done. I found a new healing therapy, polarity therapy, http://www.polaritytherapy.org/ its aims is to balance the body's energy systems. Negative thoughts, pain, tension, stress, and environmental factors that contribute to restricted energy flow. Polarity therapy gently manipulates your muscles to unblock energy flow and rebalance your body. I found someone who does this in Pocatello, ID. I plan on revisiting next spring.

Do whatever it takes for you to feel good about you, live, laugh, love, and by all means HAVE FUN...NOW.

Be You,

Fur Trapping in NV
New short film by Matt L. Hart
http://www.nyvs.com/user/MHart/watch/video/an-american-heritage

From my Book, "Imagine Dreams Do Come True"
Imagine a women who uses her dreams to create her world. A women who creates her life from her imagination. A women who comes to her challenges openly and unafraid.....
~Jean Hart

Let's get back on track...

I've been off just alittle since getting back from vacation.

There are things that have to get done each week. Yes, I too must clean. But there are also fun things that I want to do each week.

When you work at home believe me things slide and slip and don't get done. Even the fun stuff sometimes doesn't get done.

So yes, its another list, but a fun one! I have to see things written down so I can cross them off. It's a must to be able to cross things off.

I made this really fun little chart and put the days of the weeks on it. I only put 3 items on each day. Because if you can get 3 things done beside handling everyday life, you ROCK!!!

The things I write here do not change, they are must do for the week. They are the good and hard of my life. They are personal and they are for the house or the family. Just fill it in with rituals, trips, creative trips, house cleaning, erons, I even add 15 min of decluttering to mine, then add these 3 little things to your current to do list.

How about the 101 things to do this year, harder then you think. I'm up to 10!!!

There's no place like home..There's no place like home..There's not place. Now click your heals three times....
I do love to travel and now that I am officially an "Empty Nester" I find that Kerry and I like to pack our bags and hit the road more and more. Last week we spent 8 days touring southeastern Idaho. It is beautiful open land albe winter probably is not the time to see it. Most of it was under snow..
Here's the thing. When you travel you are not always on your feet sight seeing and looking at great museums and eating at fancy restaurants. My trips with Kerry are not that way. He is a geologist, so most of the time we are on dirt roads not even marked on the map, in the middle of nowhere. When you travel with a photographer and writer, there is a lot of down time. We wait for the right light, we wait for the birds, the sunsets, the sunrise's. We come back to the hotel and he writes about what we saw and critiques his photos...What am I to do during these many hours left alone???
So here we go again, another list.
"The list of things to do when left solo".
I have to be able to occupy myself during this time. This will work even if your not traveling. Sometimes days just get long and everyone else is busy doing their own thing.
Our feelings change from excitement to boredom in a second and this list will keep you calm and focused while you need to be silent or solo for awhile.
Things I do when I'm Solo.
1. Take a Walk
2. Take a Shower
3. Play Backgammon on the computer, really fun for me.
4. Read a book
5. Draw a mandala, this can take an hour
6. Sit in the sun
7. Take a nap
8. Do my nails and toes
9. Do a meditation tape
10. Order a Movie
Boredom can bring on chronic fatigue.
So be prepared have a list of things to do if you find you have time and are restless.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE....
I talk a lot about goals and making a life that you want here.
I truly believe that when you go forth and participate fulling in the things you believe in your life than truly becomes the life you want. Part of what I believe is that you must help others to achieve their dreams too. Because if you don't understand the concept "Other peoples success is your success", then how can you ever believe that there is enough abundance in this world for everyone?
Last week I helped my son with his first film production. It was a documentary of my life as an artists. He wrote the script, directed and produced this short film. I think he did a great job, and it is my honor to support his dream of becoming and scriptwriter and producer.
Please enjoy and feel free to share this link and make comments. If you liked what Matthew did please like it on facebook.

Invite the Sandman In....

There's no ZEST FOR LIFE without sleep. Constant sleep deprivation can depress your immune system. No excuses, find time to give your body the time it needs to recharge, energizer and heal itself.
Sleep gives your heart and vascular system a much-needed rest.
Evidence is growing that sleep is a powerful regulator of appetite, energy use, and weight control. During sleep, the body’s production of the appetite suppressor leptin increases, and the appetite stimulant grehlin decreases. Studies find that the less people sleep, the more likely they are to be overweight or obese and prefer eating foods that are higher in calories and carbohydrates. People who report an average total sleep time of 5 hours a night, for example, are much more likely to become obese compared to people who sleep 7 - 8 hours a night.
Study found that women who slept less than 7 hours a night were more likely to develop diabetes over time than those who slept between 7 and 8 hours a night. Deep sleep triggers more release of growth hormone, which fuels growth in children and boosts muscle mass and the repair of cells and tissues in children and adults. Sleep’s effect on the release of sex hormones also encourages puberty and fertility.
So I'm going to take a lesson from my cats
and sleep more, stretch and relax.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART...
One of the reason my list for the new year is sooo LONG is that I am a true Empty Nester and I am just starting to find out what I really want to do, what I really want to learn. Meryl Strep said something very interesting "I know who I want to be but I had to do research to be that person.", by the way I am a big fan of hers. My favorite movie was "Julia and Julia".
So on my list for today, Follow Your Heart, I am asking myself to follow my heart without asking whether it's okay to do so.
I'm starting with what I like and I'm going from there. Researching Myself!!
Who, What, Where, Why....did I enjoyed that? Just beginning questions.
It's my life and I want to embrace it, enjoy the abundance that comes from taking full responsibilities for all my experiences.
So as I release 2011 and celebrate 2012 I will be writing a list, yes a huge list of 100 things I want to do this year. Not everything will be big...some will be simple, easy and creative. But I want them all to be possible..no failure here. No regrets. Just amazing , fantastic experiences.
Just now I'm wearing purple nail polish (not my normal light pink), I spent the extra 5.00 for a flower and sparkle. Amazing how much better that made me feel!!!

"Here's the nutshell version of what’s happening… On top of our Full Moon in Cancer, the planet Mercury is sextile (a happy aspect) with the planet Neptune, fueling intuition and spawning big ideas. At the same time, Mercury is also moving into methodical Capricorn, making sure those big ideas don’t get too unrealistic. Add a dash of innovation from a Mercury-Uranus square and a harmonious Jupiter trine and you've got a recipe for success! " tarot site.
CELEBRATION TONIGHT
I can hardly wait for tonight. I am having a full moon celebration. I have made a meditation tape and an activity of writing out my intention. There will be music, food, wine and family.
Because I am filling my life with intention my affirmation for tonight is simple.
"I speak my truth in clear and confident tones. I express myself and ask for what I want, know that I deserve to be heard"
January is a time when we start adding things to our life's. Remember, that it takes time to make changes and that it will take 28 days to make new change a habit. So be kind to yourself and patient. I have make a little heart felt chart for myself so that I can color in each heart for each day that I have been successful on my journey of change. It's a great way to see yourself staying true to yourself.
believe in yourself, feel strong, feel confident, that if this is something you truly want you can achieve it by setting you intentions

Aroma Therapy
Remember, You Rock!!!
Sometimes when you start making New Years Resolutions you start filling in the the pages with all the things you think you need to change. It's hard to remember that you ROCK already. The new list is for you to add to and improve not to make you feel bad about yourself.
So start that list with this thought in mind.
YOU ROCK ALREADY,
you have talents and ideas that are unique to you,
You touch many peoples life, so be kind,
You are loved and you love others,
Your choices are limitless, choose wisely,
Try something New this year.

Day 2
Aroma Therapy,
Essential oils.....so exotic.....so much fun to experiment with.
for a quick energy boost, the best oils are peppermint, cypress, eucalyptus, spearmint, or geranium . Essential oil are NOT ingested they are for inhaling deeply, place a few drops on a tissue and inhale. Or pour a few drops on palm, rub and inhale and rub on to hair..
You can find them at more health stores, ask question, experiment and have fun with them.
I have Incorporated them into my ritual when I meditate.

I took a brain test!!!! And think it's pretty COOL!!!

AS IT turns out I am a "visionary and self sufficient Green Brainier, who values knowledge and efficiency..........Yes I Like This,
Here is where you can take the brain test too.
