"...make the daily 95 percent of your life wonderful." - Alexandra Stoddard. Living a Beautiful Life.
This wonderful lady has written a whole book filled with ideas for making everyday life wonderful and beautiful. She suggests creating "rituals" for patterns we can create in our daily living that uplift the way we do ordinary things. Here are some of her ideas:
- Line the inside of your closet door with art postcards. Get dressed with art.
- Mark new seasons with childhood reminiscences: In spring, fly a kite; in fall rake leaves and go
hiking; in summer make a sand castle; in winter go for a walk in newly falling snow.
- Burn calories when you tidy up and clean. Put on exercise clothes and running shoes. Play
jazzy music and hustle to get it done.
-Fresh flowers, scented candles, and beautiful colors in all the rooms of your house will give you pleasure wherever you are and no matter what you're doing.
Empowerment enhances the ability of individuals or organizations to make choices and transform those choices into positive outcomes. Empowered people have recognized their own value and strength and their capacity to handle life's problems. In turn they are better able to influence the course of their lives. With information and support, most people can find within themselves the power to direct their lives and reach their dreams.
