New Year, New Attitude!!!
Utilize the power of positive thoughts and feelings to manifest your goals and dreams. The Christmas gifts have been exchanged, iced sugar cookies have been eaten, and now the New Year’s resolutions have been declared…..So now what? That’s right, how are this year’s declarations and resolutions going to be achieved where so many others in the past have been abandoned by valentine’s day? Let’s make this the year we change our attitudes instead of our plans and goals. Let’s shift how we think and focus on what and how we feel instead. That’s right, instead of thinking about what you want, think of how you would like to feel. Visualize…

My favorite go-to’s for the holiday blues..
This is the season for joy, giving, laughing and sharing. But as every year I would like to acknowledge those who are stuggling, remembering loss and feeling sadness during this time of year. A true hug or sentiment of kindness goes along way. And you just never know who may need it. So a few of my very favorite pick me ups when feeling sad and blue are as follows: Sending Love, Hugs, and Well Wishes to All, XOXO Holiday Rising

Oh what a time we had in Breckendridge Colorado!

The mountains were exploding with pops of vibrant green through the pillow of white cloudy puffy snow! Sprinkles of sunshine danced off of the leaves and snowflakes creating an absolute marvel of a sight and experience! We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Colin’s birthday at the Grand Lodge at peak 7 in Breckenridge and it was a ski lover’s dream! Or better yet a winter vacation lovers dream as I did not ski. But there was so much more than shredding to do in order to…

Dash into the holiday spirit, with the “Attitude of Gratitude”
The quickest way to help boost your mood and improve your outlook on life and circumstances is to have the “attitude of gratitude”. We were first introduced to this concept at the boys school in Hawai’i, at Honaunau. This attitude of gratitude takes a no holds barred approach to how you see things. Being grateful for everything around you and your many blessings, affords you a rosy outlook that is infectious. It helps to kick start the day and helps you see everything with a fresh set of unjaded eyes, like a newborn. To a newborn or toddler, everything is new, shiny, cool and fresh and offers joy and wonder.…
