Yes, SHIFT HAPPENS.....and it is going to happen in our lives, whether it is a change in the economy, your health or your family dynamics. It is inevitable because, as they saying goes, shift happens!

But the beauty is that when a shift occurs it creates opportunity and with that opportunity you can affect positive changes in your life. Shifts have both positive and negative effects and it is a matter of whether you can shift your perspective to allow for change which will ultimately determine whether it has a positive or negative effect in your life. It is a very thin line between seeing a shift as positive or negative, but the difference on either side is infinite. When you shift your thoughts and feelings in a powerful, deliberate way, magical life changes occur.

You see, both positive and negative realities exist all the time; they both exist simultaneously. Both energies are always there and always available to you. This means you always have a choice. Both positive and negative realities have to exist simultaneously in order for you to create any kind of contrast in your life that you can push against to create change and growth.

The most important thing to remember here is that it only takes one tiny little shift to change everything in your life instantly! So when “shift happens” in your life smile it is an opportunity for powerful movement!

In the next week look for a special email from me sharing with you a great opportunity to help you move with the shifts and make positive changes in your life when, “shift happens!”

So let’s shift our thinking to ‘GREEN’…….

Instead of rinsing....Scrape!

“Studies show that most people pre-rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Modern dishwashers—certainly those purchased within the last 5 to 10 years—do a superb job of cleaning even heavily soiled dishes. Don’t be tempted to pre-rinse dishes before loading; simply scrape off any food and empty liquids and let the dishwasher do the rest. This will save you time as well as water and energy. If you find you must rinse dishes first, get in the habit of using cold water.”
