Everyday I affirm: “There are many positive and powerful forces working in my life today and everyday. I am Happy and Healthy, and my life is richly filled with abundance. I am thankful each day for all of my blessings!”

The question for me daily, is how can I make a difference in the world? With keen eyes and a listening ear, as I strive to understand the problems of world, I affirm each day, that every voice for social justice matters. Every heart filled with compassion matters. Every soul exuding empathy matters. I can not solve the problems of the world, but I know that in my own way, I contribute each day to making a difference.
Namaste… Pamela

Procrastination can get in the way of getting all sorts of things done, whether important or menial tasks, when we procrastinate we waste precious time that we could spend enjoying ourselves when we are finished with the work at hand. I tend to excel at procrastination and often thrive completely projects under the pressure of waiting till the deadline draws near. But I know this adds a layer of stress to my life that isn’t healthy.
Today I re-mind myself to put my necessary tasks at hand first. I acknowledge that procrastination is a form of wasting time, and time is precious to me, as my life is full and rich. I affirm today and every day that I find myself procrastinating: I will not waste time procrastinating because it does not serve my highest self in completing my tasks at hand.

Snowy Owls are back for the winter at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island in the coastal Newburyport, Massachusetts area. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing my first Snowy Owl the year yet this season, but starting next week when I am finished with my Fall 2014 classes at UMass Amherst’s UWW, I’ll be heading to the Refuge in search of these majestic beauties. Nothing spells rest and relaxation for me more than time outdoors in every season, enjoying the diverse wildlife at my beloved Refuge.
The photo above was taken at the Newbury Salt Marsh, just outside of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, in December 2013. (more…)
It is easy to fall into the trap of pessimism when life has bogged you down with troubles. It is in these times that we must work harder to remind ourselves that the troubles will pass, things will get easier, things will get better, and there is hope.
In these times when I slip into a pessimistic mood, I affirm: “I will face this day with optimism and hope. I release the negative emotions regarding my circumstances that are bogging me down. Pessimism is not an option today or any day.”
It is important to re-mind ourselves that we are not alone, adrift on the water, there is anchor and that anchor is our capacity to turn our thoughts around.

To believe in yourself is the first step to achieving your dreams. Each day I affirm to myself that I can achieve whatever I set my mind to. I re-mind myself today and everyday that I am strong, tenacious, and steadfast in my dedication to achieving my dreams. I affirm today, my success is of my own making.
Namaste… Pamela
