Terri Levine (the guru of coaching and a dear friend) sent Abundance Affirmawraps as gifts last holiday season to her VIP clients. Check out this totally fabulous man modeling his Affirmawrap at a recent James Arthur Ray weekend event.
How cool is this? (I so love my life!)
Ever come across something and declare "I wish I'd thought of that!"? Well, I sure do. Here's my latest find:
The Good Cheer Company makes these fabulous little metal puzzle pieces with words like "I am powerful", "I am grateful" and "I am magnificent". WOW COOL IS THIS IDEA? I have "I am blessed" on my key chain. What a perfect gift for yourself or for someone you adore.
In addition to the puzzle pieces, I just bought their Cheers to You CD. Oh my! Go take a listen. It's totally fabulous.
I love that the minds behind all this actually took the time to build it! That's what it's all about folks; finding your heart's desire, giving yourself permission to go after it, and surrounding yourself with people who support your big dreams. That's a powerful combination that serves the world.
What's your "Good Cheer Company"?
Vital Affirmations.com is a fabulous resource for all things affirmation oriented. I just came across this site, and while I haven't researched it fully, I did want to share with you this article on affirmations.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Last week I came roaring back into the blogosphere. Boy it's so great to be back! Today I want to share some news.
As you know, my belief in the power of words is the basis for my life, my business, and now my newest blog: Affirmawords. I am proud we've built this new blog and dedicated it to the notion that words can encourage, enrich and inspire! Please come visit, and if you are so moved sign up for the RSS feed.
This blog will live on as my online voice for themes dear to my heart: Intentional Living, Entrepreneurialism, The Power of Gratitude, and others. It will also a be place to learn about a new workshop I am hosting called Coffee with Kristen. More on this soon.
Please visit Affirmawords for a dose of affirmations, inspiring stories, insightful guest bloggers, and "Words of Wisdom" our Friday tribute to the good stuff out there!
Thank you for your support.

More proof that the thoughts in your head ARE powerful.
Authentic Happiness is a concept pioneered by Dr. Martin Seligman.
Dr. Seligman is the head of University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center. His main mission has been the promotion of the field of Positive Psychology. This discipline includes the study of positive emotion, positive character traits, and positive institutions.
Dr. Seligman is now turning his attention to training Positive Psychologists, individuals whose practice will make the world a happier place. I LOVE IT!
Read more about Authentic Happiness by going to the main website or by reading a BBC article on "The Happiness Formula".

While not a magic incantation, and definitely never a substitute for medical treatment, there is nothing more scientific than the process of self-affirmation to positively affect your mental health. keywords: positive thinking positivity mental health self-esteem self-confidence self-help neurology brain chemistry power proof affirmations
I think one of the coolest things about living right now, in this time and space, is that we are learning how powerful our minds really are. We are grasping at a whole new level our ability to shape our lives and to create our experience on a moment by moment basis.
Take the idea of positive thinking. Isn’t it easy to poo-poo it as the stuff of ‘overly happy people’? Have you ever been around someone who seemingly always sees the positive side of things? Annoying, isn’t it?
Well, I am one of those people. I confess. I am a positive thinking, habitually happy person. There, I said it.
And I want to let you in on a little secret: even positive people have bad days. Take last last week, for example. I was sooooo not in my groove. And choose to let loose and wallow in all the frustration, irritations, upsets, and the ick I could think of. I cried and cried and cried, wadded up in a ball on my bathroom floor at 1:00am. I was whaling into a towel – you know, huh-huh-huh-huh-waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! - and totally committed to being a crying mess. Then I stopped. I decided I was being a little over the top, and I chose to get into gratitude.
Ah, gratitude. The ultimate emotion.
I believe positive thinking is grounded in and can be found by choosing gratitude. Being thankful for what we have is the most powerful way to train our brains to be positive. And for me, it’s the fastest way to shift from stinky experiences to ‘damn, I have a great life.’
So today, in honor of all happy, positive people (and the great things they are doing to impact the world) let’s get into gratitude and see what happens!

Life is good.
Here is a link to an article that is a few years old but it shows that there is scientific proof that meditation alters the human brain. I found this in my files and wanted to share it. Have a great day.
