The choice is yours!

Everyday we have the opportunity to make many choices that will directly impact the way our day unfolds. Maybe we hit a traffic jam on the way to work. We can be angry and have an immediate sour attitude or we can relax knowing that no matter how angry we are or how much we vent this is really a situation we have no control of. Depending on the choice we have made we will arrive at work calm and ready to start the day or angry and ready to vent and tell everyone about your traffic jam so you can add stress to their day as well.

Our prompt today is to write down a few times that you had choices to make , what they were and how you think it created the day that you had.

have a great day!

Sending Love,
Susan

How does you husband see you?, your children?, your best friend?, your neighbor?,your boss?, your employees? Obviously all of these people see you the same in many area but differently in some. Write in your journal how you think (your person of choice) would describe you if asked.

Have a sunny day!

Constant Companion

We have not done this in months and I thought it would be a perfect catalyst to an inward look. So today your prompt is the writing below. Write how it applies to you. Write about how you felt after you read it. Allow your thought to flow on the paper. Do not censor yourself.

Food for Thought...
I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me,
For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.
I am easily managed; just be firm with me.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
machine and the intelligence of a person.
You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.
Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.
Lead me. Reward me.
And I will then...do it automatically.
I am your servant.
Who am I?
I am a habit.


Have a wonderful day!

Sending Love,
Susan

What Goes Into Your Mind...

What Goes Into Your Mind Comes Out In Your Life! What have you been feeding your mind?

Did you know that what you watch , read and listen to becomes part of how you feel mentally and sometimes physically. Science proves this!

What do you feed your mind with daily? Think about it and journal about it. Journal about what is going into your mind and how you think it is acting itself out in your life.

Do you read before you go to bed?, What are your favorite shows? What are the words to the music you are listening to? Really THINK about this prompt.

When I journaled this prompt I found that going to sleep with Criminal Minds or NCIS on was probably not the best idea. I found that waking up and reading something positive was working very well for me. At the end of my jounraling the final conclusion was that I need to put more positive, uplifting, true things in my mind each day and need to choose what I watch more carefully. No..I did not give up Criminal Minds or NCIS...but I do record them and try not to let them be the very last thing I watch before I sleep.

I think you will be surprised at what you find at the end of this assignment!
Please share anything you wish!

And The Award Goes To..

Imagine that tonight there will be a ceremony and an awards dinner. You have won an award. What would that award be for?

EXAMPLE:
And the award goes to _Diane______ for being the most faithful friend. The award goes to __Lisa______ for her amazing artwork. The award goes to __Emily_______ for enduring great hardship and yet always thinking of others.

You get the point. It could be anything. Your prompt is to write down what the award is for and why.

Have a GREAT day.

Today your prompt is the word Escape. What does that word mean to you? What do you escape into? Some of you are thinking."That's ridiculous, I don't "escape", I am grounded, I am a realist"! My question to you is ARE YOU SURE? When life gets tough what do you dive into? Did you know that escape comes in many forms? Here are a few examples. Spending, Eating, Drinking, Reading, Hobbies, Television, Movies, Drugs (yes even the Tylenol P.M. that you take every single night because you are afraid you will not sleep unless you do), Denial and Relationships! There are many more. I have listed only a few.

Most of the things that I listed are good things. They only become unhealthy when we use them to hide from or escape from pain or the pressures of everyday life. Everything is a balancing act. It is important to recognize harmful behavior, otherwise we will never address it and change it and nothing will ever change.

On Friday our topics will lighten up and will be fun for a few days. You have worked very hard this week and I am proud of you.


Have a fantastic Thursday.

Sending You Love,
Susan

It was the best of times! It was the worst of times!


Your prompt today is to write about two separate times (or perhaps the same period of time)in your life that the following famous passage from Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities applies to.


It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

You have a fantastic day. I will see you back here on Wednesday!

Sending Love,
Susan

We Have All Experienced It

We have all experienced it..

Maybe it is our economic environment, or our over committed schedules. Maybe it's all the violence on television (and that's just the news)that we take in daily. Maybe it's the size 2 flawless (I promise that is an illusion)models that flash against the billboards, magazine covers and television screens. Maybe it's our weariness, fatigue and hopelessness at the end of the day. Maybe it is the feeling of powerlessness to change our circumstances.

Whatever it is has pushed you around and taken it's tole on you . It is time to push back.

You, my friend have no idea how precious you are. There is only ONE you and I promise you you were created for a purpose. The other good news is that no matter what your circumstances are right now they will change. You are not how much money you have, what you look like, how much you weigh, what your job or title is, who you know, who you are married to, where you live, or what car (if any) that you drive.


It has taken me almost 50 years to get here and I often need reminded.Over those years So today I am reminding you. You are such a valuable part of this blog, you are special and you are loved. More importantly than that you are precious to many (even if you do not see it).

Today your prompt is to write down exactly how you feel about yourself and your life right now. Write about how external things in your life are effecting you (stress, schedule, health, money problems if any)..then take time to write about who you are to those around you. Your children, significant other, parents....
Your are irreplaceable(even if you do not FEEL that way. Feelings are just that..feelings, they do not necessarily have any truth associated with them.There is never going to be another you. You have a purpose in this world . I promise!

Have a blessed day!

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!

Do you remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz when all four of the lead characters were locked arm and arm and chanting Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY? All of them feeding off of each others fear .

What are your lions and tigers and bears right now?
Are you feeding off of someone else fear or is it your own fear.
Are you facing your fear or running from it?

Questions to ponder on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

Every Now And Then

Every now and then something happens that brings my life into crystal clear focus. It reels me back into the life I am to be leading and erases all the distractions that have been keeping me from that focus. That event this time is the death of my 9 year old little friend Sam. Not only his death, but the process.

I am right in the middle of organizing the 16th annual Project Ed Bear Dinner Auction for about 550 people. (Project Ed Bear is an all volunteer 501c3 not for profit organization dedicated to providing comforts and needs for pediatric oncology patients)

I have been feeling overwhelmed with details. But, the REALITY is children like SAM are who I do this for. This is what it is all about. So...I will let go of the frustrations, I will not feel sorry for myself, I will not complain when things are not going as I think they should. I have been refocused.

Today we will journal about an area in our life that needs refocused. Have you gotten off track? How can you refocus and get back on.

Have a blessed day!

All my art journalers make sure you read the post below!

Your Life Lived Out In Art (Art Journalers)

Here at YOUR LIFE SPELLED OUT I have decided to change the way our Art Journal Group submits. Instead of a WEEKLY ART JOURNAL PROMPT we will now have a MONTHLY ART JOURNAL CHALLENGE with an excellent PRIZE for the winner each month. I will be the sponsor for the month of August but starting in September we will have a New sponsor each month.
Winners will be chosen by a group of five of my peers each month.

The way we submit has also changed. Instead of posting to the flickr group you will now post via Mr. Link at the right hand side of the blog.

Since it is already the 20th of August we will start this on September 1st. SO , tell all your friends the news that this blog will be hosting an ART JOURNAL Challenge each month and have them post here and tell me that YOU sent them. Make sure that you are a follower of the blog.

The person that refers the most people between now and the end of the month will receive a gorgeous $40 kit that I have assembled just for this event.

I look forward to creating with each of you each month.

See up on September 1st!

Now write down something you can do to help one or many of the hurting . If you choose to follow through , write down the details. If you choose NOT to, write down why.

All My Artsie Friends (Check Out This Challenge Blog

I wanted to share with all of you this Challenge Blog I have found. It is YUMMY!!!
If you love art like I do, you will love it there. Here is the link. Pop on over and let me know what you think. http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com/


Sho who is really the handicapped one?

Our prompt today comes from two recent personal experiences.

My husband was recently one of the judges for the Miss USA Wheelchair pageant. During that time as we talked to the ladies that were involved they shared how they were treated by others just about every time they went out of the house. Especially those that were in a wheelchair due to a physical deformity or medical condition. How sad.

My next experience is very personal. I have a 2 year old grandson that was recently diagnosed with autism.When I shared this with a friend of mine she talked for what seemed to be forever about a high school autistic boy that she has in one of her classes that she can't stand. She even said she needed to take the lessons down to "low hanging fruit" so that he could be involved. I was absolutely stunned. I couldn't believe the prejudice and the lack of really understanding that was coming out of the mouth of my friend.

Instead of judging her too harshly I used this opportunity to take a look at myself. Who do I treat differently or think about differently?

Before we quickly answer no one remember that our prejudices come in many forms and can also be so deep that you do not think they exist. There are prejudice against people that think differently, worship differently, speak differently, are fatter, thinner, beautiful, ugly, handicapped, a different race, from a different country, from the other side of town, mentally ill, rich people, poor people, people with political views that do not align with our own..the list could go on and on.

So can excruciatingly honest with yourself and ponder who you have been discriminating against or prejudice towards in you mind and maybe even in your actions. Write it down. YOUR are the only one that can change this. The first step is to watch what comes out of your mouth. What flows out of your mouth truly is an overflow of your what is in your heart.

Personally, the way I choose to handle this discovery I have made is to pray each day for any prejudice I have to be revealed to me, to not let my words hurt anyone ever and to change my heart in the areas that it is in need.

I close today by reminding you about the gift certificate give away that Your Life Spelled Out is sponsoring in celebration of growing the blog by another 25 people. All you need to do to be eligible is to comment on any post from the 1st of August through the 7th. I will announce the winner on the 8th. The gift certificate can be for Barnes and Noble, Starbucks or Hobby Lobby (your choice).Best of luck to you.

Have a fabulous Thursday!

Did you know you can START YOUR DAY OVER anytime you wish? You do not have to have a bad day just because it started out that way. You can change your attitude, mind, actions, way of thinking anytime you wish. We may not always be able to DO OVER in our lives but we can always START OVER!

In your journal today write about what all that means to you. Is there something or some part of your day or life that you would like to start over?

If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! - Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz

Our prompt today is to write this quote in your journal and write about what it means to you. How does it apply to your own life?

I promised we would have a give away every time our followers increased by 25 and we have grown once again. We are up to 355 total followers...SO..
I will be giving away a gift certificate once again. You will have your choice of what gift certificate you want from the four following choices..Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, Hobby Lobby or Kohls. All you need to do for a chance to win is to post a comment on the blog or invite someone to join the blog and tell them to post a message saying you sent them. How easy is that?!

Have a Happy first day of August!

Sending Love,
Susan
