This is a sample of my son Brandon's photography. I've added a quote to give whoever views this added inspiration. :) Brandon and I are hoping to work on a project together to share more of his photos with the world via his own blog.

Take action every day. Dream it. Say it. Do it. If fear is stopping you from taking action, feel the fear, and do it anyway. Write a statement of intention and write out your top three goals, daily. This will put the mind power behind your action, which will catapult you towards your goals. Remember, ACTION is the key word here.

Exercise will help you through your midlife years, which is a time of constant change in your body. This is a time when you realize that your waist is several inches wider and you are wearing clothes that are a full size larger or more. This can be disheartening yet, once again, the tried and proven answer: Exercise.

In spite of the frenzy, you can find relief for just a few minutes a day. Take five minutes, preferably first thing in the morning, to set an intention for yourself and relax your mind.

It is good to take time to stop the mad rush we sometimes find ourselves in and reflect on life, to think about others, and go beyond our own “little world.” Tomorrow, 11/11/11, Remembrance Day, is such a time. Let us remember those who knew victory and defeat and gave their lives so others could live. 11/11/11 is a day of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace.

As the days get shorter and the temperature begins to drop, keeping up with your weekly outdoor exercise habits could be difficult. You might soon be enduring cold rain and snow...
