This is a picture of my dad and mom at the Mendocino Botanical Garden in September. We had a wonderful time - it was SO beautiful, and SO wonderful to spend time with my parents. Definitely practicing the art of appreciation...

"Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun, laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better." ~Abraham

This quote was too long for Twitter, but I loved it so much I wanted to share it somewhere. It is such a lovely thought, such a lovely thing to do 'practice the art of appreciation' - would be a great phrase for a T-shirt.

Also, thought I would share how much pleasure I am getting out of the newest release from Esther and Jerry Hicks and Abraham - The Getting Into the Vortex Meditation CD and book set. It's fantastic - and using it every day has, without a doubt, helped move me more into my Vortex. Can't wait to see where it takes me over the next few months. I feel so relaxed and happy when I'm doing it and for hours afterward. I'm finding I feel more at ease about everything from finances to business to my life in general. There is an ease and an appreciation in my day that wasn't as easy to achieve before starting. If you are an abraham-hicks fan (or even if you are not) and have been searching for a great daily meditation process, this one is fabulous!

Also, a quick note: The Namaste Sanskrit Only ring is quickly becoming our best seller (that link is for the sterling sivler one - click here if you want to check out the 14K gold namaste ring). If you haven't checked out this newest addition to the Namaste Jewelry collection here on Transformational Jewelry, you may want to now. Have been hearing some wonderful things from clients about what it means to them and how much they love their Namaste rings.

Every once in a while something comes along that gets my blood pumping... the song on this Gatorade commercial did it...

So, I tried to figure out if I could buy it, and started looking around. After checking a few links finally came up with the Gatorade site where you can download it for FREE! :-) (Here's the link: Evolve) What I love about this song is it's rhythm and inspiring lyrics (you can read them here). Hope it helps you get motivated as you finish up the weekend and get ready for another week. Enjoy!

There are so many lyrics I love in it, here's a sample:

No matter what they do, they can't break your stride, evolution is a thing that starts inside...

Just wanted to share the fabulous Simply Chickie creations of a friend and fellow entrepreneur Gwen Gardner - they're so fun and cheeky, that they seem like a great compliment to the Transformational Collection. Here's a little bit about the wonderful baby clothes in the collection:

Simply Chickie designs are based on antics by Elizabeth, my daughter, or by one of her little friends. The design from paper Gwen finds on her travels around the world--and then paint in whatever might augment the picture. The original art piece is then graphically arranged on the computer and a saying is added in an appropriate font and layout. The design is ultimately transferred to a onesie, t-shirt, or hat. The clothing is made from organic cotton made in the USA and is available in size 3/6 months - 6T.

Some words from, Alex Doolin, a happy mom (and satisfied customer), "I wanted to write to tell you how many compliments we get on our adorable & witty "Well Bred" t-shirt. The funny thing is, before your clothes, I was not much into organic but I've always been into great quality. So, it's always a pleasure when I get praised on going green with my child. Little do they know, it's your savvy style for children that had me become more environmentally conscious."
