Inspiration: Yes You Can!

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Thu, 29 Oct 2015 19:23:00 +0000

"There is a winner in you. You were created to be successful, to accomplish your goals, to leave your mark on this generation. You have greatness in you. The key is to get out." Joel Osteen

1.Keep Your Vision in Front of You - Dare to dream big dreams.
2.Run Your Race - Focus on your unique course and goals.
3.Expect Good Things - Anticipate great opportunities.
4.Have a Positive Mind-set - Take control of your thoughts and attitudes. You Can, You Will: 8 Undeniable Qualities Of A Winner

Are You In-step with Your Goals or Vision for the Year? Time does fly by very quickly and, before we know it, the holiday season will soon be upon us. I bet some of us are wondering how the year got away from us so fast. I was speaking with a friend today and she said: "I feel like I blinked and January turned to October!" True. It's been a hectic year for me both offline and on ... and quite a while since I posted on this blog. I'm a bit shocked at how time seemingly flew by. I must admit that life, its demands, and blogging on Mirth and Motivation sidelined this blog and got the better of me. I'm delighted to be back to add another post. How has the year transpired for you?

Today, I reached for a book by one of my favorite motivational, inspirational ministers/teachers and got inspired all over again. One of the joys of blogging is that we can always pick up where we left off and reconnect with our readership. Thankfully, Joel Osteen's book: You Can, You Will: 8 Undeniable Qualities Of A Winner, got me thinking about staying motivated and doing the work we need to do; even after an extended break. What I love about Joel and this book is the common sense wisdom shared in each undeniable quality he identifies. Unless we have a clear vision coupled with action, expectation, and a positive attitude, it's easy to fall back and give up. Run your race and, even if you pause to look around and meet other callings, get right back on track and do the work you need to do.
More Below!

"As you put these principles into action, you will step into a new level of your destiny... Get ready! You can, you will!" Joel Osteen

5.Commit to Excellence - Do your best and maintain high standards.
6.Keep Growing - Be proactive, be intentional, build on your gifts, and continually improve.
7.Serve Others - Invest yourself in others.
8.Stay Passionate - Light the fire within and approach life with enthusiasm. You Can, You Will: 8 Undeniable Qualities Of A Winner

How do you incorporate these qualities into your goals/plans? Another wonderful bonus that Joel offers in this and all his other bestselling books is solid examples and stories from real life experiences. I love reading about how people overcome their challenges and how we can apply what we learn to real life events. This book is chockablock with stories from Joel's life, biblical examples and the lives of congregants and others. I know that sometimes, in our effort to achieve our goals, we forget that success is not just about us but also about serving others. In order to grow, we need to serve others inside/out of our community, stay committed, open our hearts and minds to new experiences, and work at excellence. Whilst it seems like a tall order, it is doable. We can take breaks as needed and get back on board refueled and ready to refocus on our goals. May the rest of the year and this holiday season fill you with enthusiasm and opportunities to get your work done. Happy Halloween and Holiday Season! Do share your thoughts below. What do you do to stay passionate?

Some Food for Thought: What do you do to stay passionate about your goals? What judgments do you hold against yourself? How would you change the messages? If you could change one thing about your life, what would that be? Happy Halloween & Holiday Season! Love and Peace!

I would love to hear from you: Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

Food For Thought: Did You Know?

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Sat, 30 May 2015 19:44:00 +0000

"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus." Alexander Graham Bell

Food For Thought: Did You Know? eobihfrank photos ©

DID YOU KNOW...?1. Your shoes are the first things people subconsciously notice about you. Wear nice and decent shoes. 2. If you sit for more than 11 hours a day, there's a 50% chance that it will make you severely sick in two years. 3. There are at least six people in the world who look exactly like you. There's a 9% chance that you'll meet one of them in your lifetime. 4. Sleeping without a pillow reduces back pain and keeps your spine stronger. 5. A person's height is determined by their father, and their weight is determined by their mother.

I was reading some posts on a friend's Facebook page when I came across this list of nineteen (19) Did-You-Know facts? I was so taken by them that I had to share them with you. We can live consciously and in awe of the magnificence of the universe we inhabit or we can remain blinded by worry. We can work to maintain our health or worry ourselves to death. Worry won't change a thing. Information can and will.

"The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear." Brian Tracy

Food For Thought: Did You Know? Honey Bees help keep us alive? eobihfrank photos ©

6. If a part of your body "falls asleep", you can almost always "wake it up" by shaking your head. 7. There are three things the human brain cannot resist noticing: food, attractive people and danger. 8. Right-handed people tend to chew food on their right side. 9. Putting dry tea bags in gym bags or smelly shoes will absorb the unpleasant odour. 10. According to Albert Einstein, if honey bees were to disappear from the earth, humans would be dead within four years.

I was quite impressed by the fact that honey bees add more to our livelihood than we ever consider. The pollination work they do, helps seeds and plants flourish and grow, and they feed us in so many ways. When was the last time you gave those bees much thought?

"Life is too short to spend in negativity. So I have made a conscious effort to not be where I don't want to be." Hugh Dillon

Food For Thought: Did You Know? eobihfrank photos ©

11. There are so many kinds of apples that if you ate a new one everyday it would take over 20 years to try them all. 12. You can survive for weeks without eating, but you will only live 11 days without sleeping. 13. People who laugh a lot are healthier than those who don't. 14. Laziness and inactivity kill just as many people as smoking. 15. A human brain has the capacity to store five times as much information as Wikipedia.

I love apples and have always been a member of the "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" club. I had no idea that we had enough varieties to keep us munching for the next 20 years. Who knew? This confirms what I've always known, and still believe, that we live in an abundant world with enough to go around... We just need to learn to share more.

More Below!

There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live." Jean de la Bruyere

Food For Thought: Did You Know? eobihfrank photos ©

16. Our brain uses the same amount power as 10-watt light bulb. 17. Our body gives enough heat in 30 minutes to boil 1.5 litres of water. 18. Stomach acid (conc. HCl) is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. 19. Take a 10- to 30-minute walk everyday and, while you walk, SMILE. It is the ultimate antidepressant. 20. Living life consciously and compassionately is important... Spread joy not hate!

When we take time to look around us and pay attention to the world we inhabit, we will come to the realization that it is our collaborative effort that keeps it all going. We can put a smile on our face, take a walk and be grateful for what is. Living life consciously and compassionately is imperative.

Some Food for Thought: We can choose to live with awareness of all living forms or stay blind to them... Choose consciousness and stay in touch with your greatness. What are you doing to stay aware?

I would love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

A $300 March Madness Giveaway - Enter Today!

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:48:00 +0000

What does March Madness mean to you?

What does March Madness mean to you? You may have heard the expression mad as a March hare? March is a magical month that contains quite a few events: March is known for basketball tournaments and St. Patrick's Day which pulls up images of all sorts of beer drinking. March ushers in the 1st day of Spring and Spring Break which in itself is a bit of madness. March also begins daylight savings time which can make us all crazy. But for me, March madness means I survived the dead of winter and cabin fever, and I'm eager to get outside and do "normal" things again: - minus the snow!

What does March Madness mean to you?

3 Key Tips: Stay Safe Internet Surfing!

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:58:00 +0000

"The Internet is a wonderful thing, but it opens the door to many crimes, so you have to stay ahead of it." Frank Abagnale

The internet as we know it is both a blessing and a curse. Every day, we login and hope that we don't get caught in the crossfire of a malware attack. While dodging hackers, spammers, trolls, cyber-criminals and bullies like enemy bullets, we also have to make sure that those close to us are doing the same thing. Nothing is more annoying than to open a link sent to your from, purportedly, a friend or family member, only to watch your computer disintegrate. It's not funny and many of us can share horror stories of how we got caught by a Trojan worm or some sneaky little adware. The key is to be vigilant. So today, over 100 countries have come together to warn us to surf safely on the internet. Google has kindly provided us 3 Key Tips; they are quick and easy tips of what not to do on the Internet

A1. Stay safe by instituting these (see below) 12 safety tips. 12 tips for you.
1. Protect you Selfie photos and your account from hackers with 2 step verification.
2. Keep criminals and hackers out by updating your browser
3. Always make sure your account is secure by doing regular check ups on your settings
4. Always make sure to lock your Device Manager before the Cyber-thieves get to it

We cannot stress it enough that you must educate your loved ones about using the internet safely. Every so often when we login to the internet, we come across stories of cyberbullying, reverse porn, identity theft and all sorts of awful incidents that have occurred. If you wonder why, it is because some of us opened our Internet doors to a bunch of unsavory characters. If we are serious about raising awareness on smarter and safer Internet use, we must start in our homes. Read the tips above and share them with everyone you know. Being armed with the right information on surfing safely can save a life.

A2. Share the tips with your family and friends. Celebrate Safer Internet Day w/ Loved Ones
5. Don’t engage in surprise purchases use password protection.
6. Control your searches for family friendly PG results
7. Identify your favorite Hangout sites and save them for return visits.
8. Keep YouTube’s Safety Mode locked on your device… Permanently

More Below!

"Sometimes, the Internet can feel like a middle-school playground populated by brats in ski masks who name-call and taunt with the fake bravery of the anonymous. But sometimes - thank goodness - it's nicer than real life." Susan Orlean

Have you stopped to think about email safety? Making sure that our private conversations and important communications don't land in the wrong hands is vital. We can feel confident when we know that our email provider is working hard to ensure our email is not exposed and that our communications are not intercepted. On the link above, provided by Google for Safer Internet Day, we can check to see if our carrier is included. I hope yours is. Stay safe and be vigilant on the internet. How do you stay safe?

A3.Find out how safe your email is: Does Your email providers support encryption? Check the Transparency Report.
9. Let your favorite browser (Chrome, Firefox) manage your 10,000 passwords
10. If you come across questionable content, flag it and let Google know
11. Learn to keep spies off your device with a PIN or other protective methods
12. Create complex, STRONG passwords with upper case and lower case letters and symbols.

Some Food for Thought: The Internet has opened our eyes to the vast world we inhabit. Some of it is great and some of it is bad. You must be discerning and protect yourself and your loved ones. What are you doing to stay safe while surfing the Internet?

I would love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

Healthy Living: 5 Key Tips On Staying Healthy

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 20:48:00 +0000

"I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you." Joyce Meyer

We often hear people talk about being healthy and then they list exercise and losing weight as their goals. While doing both can contribute to our feelings of well being, we need more than physical activity and goals to maintain our overall health. I believe that if we focus on a holistic approach to healthy living, we will be in better health and, ultimately, in better shape. If your goal this year is to build a healthy lifestyle, my question to you is: Are you taking care of the whole person? Are you taking social influences and other factors into consideration? If No, then you need to reconsider your efforts and make healthy decisions that cater to the whole person. If Yes, then congratulations, you are ahead of the game!

There are five key elements we must keep in mind on our journey to healthy living: In any healthy living plan, we must care for our Physical, Nutritional, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Health.

Physical Health: Exercise is the first thing that comes to mind, and there are many ways to maintain our bodies and get in shape. Whether you choose to run, walk, do yoga, martial arts, swim or lift weights, it's important to learn how to maintain our bodies in the proper way. Any form of physical activity can lead to injury, if we don't learn the proper form or way to do it. Avail yourself of an expert trainer, even if for a short time, so you can learn the right way to do any type of activity you choose. Walking is a no-brainer, but having the proper footwear is imperative, ditto wearing comfortable clothing. We are never too old to learn and it's never too late to improve our form.

Nutritional Health: The worst thing we can do for our bodies is to feed it junk while we are increasing our physical activity. If you commit to lose weight or increase your activity levels, it's key to keep your nutritional well-being in mind. It would be defeatist to line up the best gear and workout clothes, pay for an expensive gym membership, and then feed your body a diet of junk, high cholesterol, artery clogging foods. If we eat fruits, vegetables, grains and lean proteins with some fat, and add plenty of water to our daily diet, we will be on the road to staying truly healthy. I'm a big advocate for organic foods and fresh foods, but you can eat well by eating a balanced meal from the major food groups. The goal should be to eat in moderation.

"A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier."Tom Stoppard

Mental Health: Our mental health is as important as our physical health. If we are surrounded by negativity or have addictions that interfere with our well-being, it is important to take care of them on the road to total health. While our endorphins increase when we work out, if there are issues in our lives that need mental health attention, we must seek help from the appropriate professional to assist in addressing those issues. Anorexia and Bulimia are eating disorders that require mental health attention. If someone you know is excessive about restricting food intake, encourage the person to seek help. Some people fall into a dangerous eating pattern, while claiming they are getting in shape. Anything we do in excess must be addressed with the help of a professional. Maintain your mental health.

Emotional Health: Our emotional well-being is tied into our mental well-being and, if we are emotionally spent, we need to take time out to resolve any issues that are pulling us down. If we don't take care of our emotional health, it can create more problems for us. Some of us eat too much or too little when we feel hurt or break up with a loved one. Some us become hoarders or excessive, emotional spenders when things fall apart in our lives. So, it's very important to check in with our emotional state, seek the help of a therapist or other professional, and sort out our problems. Ignoring the promptings to do something could lead to other emotional problems. Staying healthy also means staying emotionally healthy.

More Below!

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Benjamin Franklin

Spiritual Health: I call this spiritual health but, you can call it contemplative care or anything you wish. This is really about maintaining a peaceful environment for your total well-being. I meditate, practice yoga, and take nature walks because I find them healing. I'm also a believer in the power of prayer and the power of a supportive family and mentor group. What do you do to nurture your spirit? It could be creative expressions, service to others, charity work or many other ways of being a giver in the world. So you get to choose this one too.

We live in a world with so many social influences that it's very easy to fall victim to WooWoo ideas on staying healthy. Be clear about what works for YOU and then honor it. Going back to basics is important for maintaining clarity in our lives and, if we have a spirit of gratitude and believe in our right to be, we will find that the things we wish for will come closer to us. How do you stay holistically healthy? What are you doing to stay healthy?

Some Food for Thought: We become what we do, ingest, think, believe, and create. Choose the path of healthy living and BREATHE! Again, What are you doing to stay healthy?

I would love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

Breville Masticating Juicer: Into The New Year Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:10:00 +0000

Do you know what a masticating juicer is? Have you always wanted a juicer that pulls the maximum juice out of your fruits and vegetables?

Then this Giveaway Is for YOU!

There are two types of juicers: centrifugal juicers and masticating (slow) juicers. Centrifugal juicers shred fruits and vegetables by spinning at high speed to separate the pulp from the juice. Masticating juicers crush and grind fruits and vegetables to extract the juice and then filter out the pulp. They're called slow juicers because they don't spin rapidly; they still take only minutes to produce juice! Slow juicers produce drier pulp than centrifugal juicers, tend to be less frothy, and extract more juice from leafy greens like kale. As someone who enjoys juicing, I love the idea of getting the maximum amount of juice from my fruits and vegetables. Wouldn't you? This is one reason why we are giving away a Breville BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Slow Juicer to a lucky reader! You can read more about the Breville brand HERE.

Join Our Juicing into the New Year Giveaway!

Veterans Day: In Honor Of All Who Served

noreply@blogger.com (Eliz Frank) — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:52:00 +0000

"This day, and every day, we pay tribute to America's sons and daughters who have answered our country's call. We recognize the sacrifice of those who have been part of the finest fighting force the world has ever known and the loved ones who stand beside them. We will never forget the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice and all those who have not yet returned home. As a grateful Nation, let us show our appreciation by honoring all our veterans and working to ensure the promise of America is within the reach of all who have protected it." Excerpt from President Barack Obama’s Proclamation on Veterans Day 2014

Are you familiar with the history and ceremony around Veterans Day? Veterans Day is a special day that honors all our service men and women, living and dead, who fought in wars. Initially, it honored those who served in the World wars but now includes all Veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

How did it start? On November 11, 1947, Raymond Weeks of Birmingham, Alabama, organized a Veterans Day parade to honor all of America's Veterans for their loyal service. At the time, it was known as Armistice Day. Later, U.S. Representative Edward H. Rees of Kansas proposed legislation to change the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in honor of all who have served this country. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans Day. In 1968, the date was moved to the fourth Monday in October, but Congress soon recognized the historical importance of November 11th and changed it back in 1978.

What is the Ceremony like? The tradition of having the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery continues till this day. On the morning of the 11th, at 11AM, a group of guards from each of the military services, pay their respects to those who died at war in an impressive ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. The President or his designated representative then places a wreath at the Tomb. A bugler sounds “Taps.” which is quite haunting and then the ceremony moves to the Memorial Amphitheater, adjacent to the Tomb. A "Parade of Flags" by Veterans service organizations is also part of the second half of ceremonies on that day. The Veterans Day National Committee which organizes the ceremony, also supports a number of Veterans Day Regional Sites: There are 67 sites in 39 states and the sites hold a variety of community Veterans Day celebrations to keep the memories of loved ones lost alive. Did your/your community participate in it this year?

"The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude." Jeff Miller

The American Veteran - Women at War

This is a day of deep gratitude for those who gave their lives so we can live. While some might think it’s ironic to see peace as a goal of war, it is appropriate to encourage all to seek peace on this special day; both inner and outer peace. In remembering those who fought bravely to keep us safe, we must remember what peace means to us and how much we value it. Then we must think about how we can maintain peace in the world. May peace prevail in our hearts… What does this day mean to you? How do you honor Veterans Day? Thank you.
