Inspiration Friday 2025.02.14

Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 45th Day of 2025.

We have $45,000.00 today.
10% savings = $4,500.00
40% taxes = $18,000.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the Gates of the Arctic National Park. Located in the state of Alaska. The Gates of the Arctic National Park was established in 1980. You will find among other wonders the most remote National Park, there are no roads, no trails, no facilities in this vast arctic ecosystem. There are over 8 million acres of wilderness to explore. Learn more here HERE.

How will you be spending the remaining $22,500.00 today?

HERE IS MY PLAN: Love Bigger

“Love is not always perfect. It isn’t a fairytale or a storybook. And it doesn’t always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and impossible to live without. Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, and every second was worth it because we did it together. — Bisket

Life is a constant workout. It seems especially taxing with the destruction of political systems around the world as well as shattering other illusions of safety daily. Every day I practice raising my frequency to the vibration of love.  Simple, not easy. It is a choice. The shift is happening all around us and we are invited to thrive. I was reminded by author Ester Abraham Hicks that we choose our attitude and feelings moment by moment. She wrote the following excerpt: “You cannot get sick enough to help sick people get better. You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. It is only in your thriving that you have anything to offer anyone. If you want to be of an advantage to others, then be as tapped in, tuned in, and turned on as you possibly can be.” How? Change Facilitator Peter J Hughes recommends a “puppy awareness” panacea to ramp up your thriving attitude. Close your eyes and think about puppies or look at puppy pictures or hold a warm, wiggly, tongue bather in your arms. Now I am ready to offer myself from a place of thriving! Practice this technique and your life will expand in wondrous ways. Are you giving and receiving love today? What would it take?

How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: for self-care. I am replenishing my art supplies. Creative expression helps me raise my joy and express love in a tangible way. And I love that!

$0: Priceless: Children with access to books.

“I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.” — Vincent van Gogh

Today is International Book Giving Day! This is the 13^th year the100% volunteer initiative has rallied over 44 countries to participate in increasing the number of children who have books in their hands. The intention is to improve access and inspire enthusiasm for books. International Book Giving Day is run by Emma Perry (My Book Corner, UK) and brilliantly supported by Catherine Friess – Story Snug (Germany). I wonder what it would take to contribute even more books to children around the world. Imagine generations being inspired to share and tell their own life stories. Everyone deserves to live a story worth telling. How open are you to living in a better world in 2025? Respond with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$10,000.00: I am sponsoring “puppy breaks” at workplaces, senior homes, and schools. Partnering with various animal shelters across the country to bring adoptable puppies to job sites. One of the payoffs of puppy breaks is increased employee morale and productivity. The animal shelters increase connecting pets to their “forever” homes. Imagine happier workplaces. What are you contributing to living in a better world in 2025?

$1000.00: for a date with my husband. It’s Valentine’s Day, I am making heart shaped pancakes!

How much love can you stand?

Flow Five Friday: Current “real” life expressions of gratitude, love, and contribution to wellbeing.

$5.00: this week’s five-dollar bill is inside a book called “Hide-Away Puppy” by Jessica Potter Broderick. The book was placed inside a Free Little Library near the community hospital. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five Increments of Time: This week I cleared most of my work appointments to be with my husband before, during and after surgery. Being there. How are you “Flowing Five” this week?

Well-Being: Something that I am doing or not doing for self-care in real time. I asked my friends to send me loving support so that I had the energy to be the best version of myself while caring for my husband after surgery. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth. Unplug something. What are you doing for the health of our planet?

Hold Space or Contribute to a Friends Life Intention: This week I am supporting my husband who had a total hip replacement. One of my husband’s Living Intentions is to both hike and fly fish in Yellowstone National Park this summer.  You can support his Living Intention by imagining him happy and healthy. He is hiking and fishing pain free. Or perhaps you can just take a walk today and be grateful for the ability to move your body with ease. Be well. Take good care of yourself.

Choose joy. Be kind. Love others and strive to be a better human. What would it take?

Choose to feel good. Be Joy. 
Practice gratitude. Amplify Kindness. Expand Generosity. 
Ask, Receive, and Give with More Ease. 
Respond to life with Love.
