Change

Change is hard.  French philosopher Voltaire summed it up perfectly. 

Observe how difficult it is to change yourself and you will understand how naive it is to try to change another person.” ~ Voltaire

 One of the things we can do is be the change we want to see in ourselves and the world. Leading by example is the way we affect change in others. As I say of raising children, they may not always listen, but they are always watching. So it is with all of us. 

All things are passing, God never changes. 

God Bless.

Emotional Food

 I recently had a Eureka moment. Upon waking in the morning, my cranky bride says, I'm hungry I want to go out to breakfast and I want to see Mallory our grand daughter."  She was miserable. So, being the quick thinking husband, I texted our son and asked if wanted to go to breakfast. He said sure let's meet in 30 minutes.  When I told my bride that we were going out to breakfast and seeing Mallory, she flipped the emotional switch as was overjoyed literally transformed in an instant. 

At this moment, I realized that there is this visceral emotional connection to women and food. She was beyond Hangry she was distraught and then smiling and laughing so happy.  

Now I know never come between a good woman and her meal.

Honey Bee

 Honey Bees are Life Givers.  The bees pollinate the flowers and the crops we use to feed ourselves. Bees pollinate over a 1000 flowers and produce a spoonful of honey in their lifetimes. 

Honey is an elixir and has numerous health benefits.  The best honey is raw, unpasteurized, and local. Local honey can be an antidote to allergies. Honey is an excellent energy source that includes healthy enzymes. 

Honey is an ideal treat to satisfy your sweet tooth without all the fat and artificial ingredients like high fructose corn syrup. Honey is used as a topical treatment for wounds and healing cuts and scrapes. Another fascinating fact is that honey never goes bad the natural food source has antibacterial properties that keep in perfectly preserved, no wonder the Pharaohs included honey in their vast tombs.  

The Queen Bee feed exclusively on the Royal Jelly that the bees produce in the hive that's why she is larger and lives longer. 

Follow the lead of the incredible Honey Bee that feeds and provides for all of us.  Raw, local honey does a body good!

God Bless.  

To Your Health!

Out of the Mouth the Heart Speaks

 The Biblical quote from Luke:

 "Out of the mouth the heart speaks" 

 Reminds us that if we fill our life with love, joy, happiness, charity, and forgiveness this is what we fill our hearts with and these qualities lead to a well lived life. When we live our lives with this higher Divine energy and share with family, friends, and everyone we come in contact with, we become a magnet to attract that Light into our lives.

We should be mindful of the words we use and the beliefs and thoughts we use for what we think about and focus on expands. So let's be confident, hopeful, and expect the good things in our lives. We are given the gift of Life, the sunshine, the air, our healthy bodies. 

We have so much to be thankful and grateful for and we can use our language to create a positive attitude to live the Abundant life we desire. 

God Bless.

With Love,

Coach K 

 

Perspective

 Our perspective is important.  We hear so much today about how AI will displace jobs and how high interest rates are hurting real estate, but it's important to keep a cool calm outlook. I remember 10% mortgage rates and we were happy to get the house.  Today rates are around 7%.  

We hear about world issues today like climate change and war but not long ago our family members survived a Depression and fought a World War.  Our Uncle John is laid to rest on a beach in Normandy at the age of 21.  Our perspective helps keep our challenges is check. 

The key is for us is not to get too distracted by daily events and focus on what we want to achieve.  We see it everyday how people have overcome incredible odds to make their dreams come true. 

Be an Optimist.  Know that a little rain will fall but most of the time the sun in shining. Keep the Faith, with the faith of a tiny mustard seed you achieve anything. You are alive and we need to be grateful and thankful for this day and the ability to live the life we imagined. 

 God Bless.

Sissy

 Sissy

Sissy was like every girl

That dreamed of her Prince Charming

But then one day he up and left

And life became alarming

 

She had four boys

From nine to three

Now what was she to do 

The life that she had planned so carefully

Must now begin anew

 

The house the car the swimming pool

Right down to every letter

But that had all just gone away

And now only God knew better

 

She was bent

She was broken

How was she to know

That through her Faith

The Spirit worked

To help those young boys grow

 

The path was hard 

And full of doubt

At times no food or heat

But Sissy was committed now

And would never taste defeat

She begged and borrowed

Scratched and clawed

Whatever was required

Her boys came first

No matter what

Even when she tired

Mom loved hard 

And we would fight

She called us Dirty Dogs

But all along she was there just

Guiding us toward

The Light

With Love,

Coach K

Talking Heads

Everyone has an opinion. We see these Talking Heads everyday on television and social media. Most of it is just Hot Air.  Choose your mentors and advisers wisely think of the people that have supported and loved you. 

Do your own homework and research and form you own opinions. Be open minded and flexible. Leaving the judging to others. You know what's best for you trust your intuition and surround yourself with people that encourage and believe in you. 

Seek out experts that have accomplished what you desire. The most successful are those that have helped others achieve their dreams. 

We are bombarded with negative news on a constant basis, and it's important that we tune out that noise and focus on the Positive.  If we are to accomplish our desires, we must be Optimistic and Hopeful. We know there may be setbacks, but we also know that we are resilient and determined and we can accomplish our desires with a little Faith. 

What we desire, desires us.  Keep your focus on the goal. 

And always keep the Faith.  With God all things are possible. 

 

With Love,

Coach K
