Today’s Quote

10 Ways on HOW TO STAY YOUNG
~ George Carlin

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be A LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, music, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER…
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

.
Have a great week!
Joanie and Angie

~ Roy Croft

Today’s Message
Does your presence allow others to feel better about themselves?
Are they feeling more energized and happy?

A friend of mine, L.A. Murphy beautifully expresses our influences over others…

“We are the total sum of our relationships. When we plant our garden with seeds of love, forgiveness and thankfulness, we flower abundantly and bring more joy into all our relationships both personally and professionally.

Always remember no two gardens are the same; love your neighbor’s garden equally and the passer by will smile.”

Today’s Message

Formula for Success

Event (E) + Response (R) = Outcome (O)
~ Jack Canfield

“Outcomes can sometimes come across as not “controllable” or out of control, however our reaction is controllable. How we react in a situation, based on an event guides the outcome. We cannot control the events, we cannot always control the outcomes, but we can control our reactions to an event thus guiding the outcome. How we react in any given situation is a choice.”

Tune in and listen to tips on how to control your reaction to any situation and make the best choice possible from the Happy Wednesday Ladies.

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is about making positive affirmations.

First…what is an affirmation?
An affirmation is a statement designed to bring positive change in oneself or into one’s life. It should be stated AS IF the desired outcome has already occurred or is in the process of occurring, not as something that will happen in the future.

How can affirmations change your life?

Tune in and listen to the Happy Wednesday Ladies as they each share one of their favorite affirmations.

Don’t have a favorite affirmation?
Feel free to use Angie’s or Joanie’s affirmation to help you get started.

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Five Simple Rules to be Happy
~Unknown Author
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. ‘I love it,’ he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

‘Mr. Jones, you haven’t seen the room; just wait.’
‘That doesn’t have anything to do with it,’ he replied.
‘Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is
arranged … it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.

It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the
parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you’ve put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing.’

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Today’s question
What happiness are you depositing in your Happy Memory Bank today?

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Inspirational Tips to Lose Weight

admin — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:47:33 +0000

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is brought to you by a very special guest. Enjoy!
Turn up your speakers to listen to today’s tips.

Are you tired of having to deprive yourself of your favorite foods so you can lose weight?

I have great news for you. You don’t have to do that any longer. I’m Dr. Rita Hancock, author of The Eden Diet, and I’m going to give you two much easier-to-follow (AND MORE FUN) ways to lose weight.

First, make sure you’re PHYSICALLY hungry before you eat. Think about it. If you’re overweight, you probably eat mindlessly at times, or because of emotions like stress or boredom, rather than because of true, physical hunger.

To distinguish TRUE hunger from false hunger, take “The Apple Test.” Imagine the food you crave (like a candy bar, for example) sitting on a plate next to an apple. Would you eat the apple? If not, you’re not physically hungry. When you’re physically hungry you’ll eat anything to stop the hunger. But if you ARE hungry enough for the apple, you can skip the apple and eat a LITTLE candy if that’s what you prefer. There’s nothing wrong with eating a treat occasionally, even while you’re on a reducing diet.

That brings me to my next tip. You must eat smaller portions. HALF portions or less if you want to lose weight. You can’t eat a King Size candy bar each time you’re hungry if you expect to lose weight. Eat half of a single serving candy bar as a treat, and save the other half for later. You can do that occasionally, even on a reducing diet.

The idea is to eat ONLY when you’re PHYSICALLY hungry, and to eat smaller portions. If you do that, you can lose weight the easier way—WITHOUT DEPRIVING YOURSELF OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.

Rita knows first hand what it is like to overcome obesity. Being Italian, she had access to the world’s most delicious food when she was growing up. Unfortunately, she ate too much of it. By the time Rita was 17 and was 5′1″ tall, she weighed 207 pounds and wore size 20 jeans. Cornell University to study nutrition, Rita lost 75 pounds. And she did it by including occasional treats in her overall low-calorie diet, and by eating less and exercising more.

Dr. Hancock is a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist with a subspecialty board certification in Pain Management. She has been in full time practice in Norman, Oklahoma for ten years.

The Happy Wednesday Broadcast is dedicated to making a difference in the world as a “Friendly” weekly reminder to empower yourself every Wednesday, by doing such things as an act of kindness or forgiving someone. Now we have added one more thing to the list; consciously do something to celebrate the earth every Wednesday.

Happy Earth Day!

Today’s Quote
“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”
~ Wendell Berry

Today’s Empowering Tip

What can you do to celebrate “Earth” day – today and everyday?
What is your commitment to the earth?

Imagine if we all make a conscious decision to live “green” everyday what a tremendous impact that would make on the entire world.

As Oprah says- “Going Green 101: What your family can do today!”

One simple little thing your family could do starting today- unplug all appliance and television power cords when not in use. This will conserve energy and save you money.

Recipe for Happiness

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 03:11:05 +0000

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Today’s Tips
Warning:
This recipe may cause intense happiness and works best when doubled and tripled.
Excessive portions will bring prosperity in all good things.

Recipe for Happiness

Ingredients:

1 cup Positive Assumptions
1 heaping spoonful of Perspective
3 Good Things
Tons of caring for yourself and others

Directions:
As a base, place one large cup of positive assumptions in a big bowl. Use positivity blended with hope, optimism and gratitude (not available in most media outlets).

Add one heaping spoonful of perspective (fresh is best). To accelerate the process, engage others for an even broader perspective. During this step, please wear rose-colored glasses.

Stir in 3 Good Things. Add one good thing about yourself, one good thing about family, and one good thing about work. Start with 3 Good Things but feel free to add additional to taste.

Stir all ingredients together with an attitude of possibility and love and let rise and bake at 98.6 degrees for several hours, days, weeks, months and years. This recipe serves several people. Once you consume this, you will infuse many others and you and your happy friends will be able to perpetuate happiness as long as you choose.

As a garnish, fill your plate with tons of caring for yourself and others. Take hot baths, talk to friends, laugh and play. Take action to help others accomplish their dreams, hold the door open, say thank you and express your love.

With regular consumption of this recipe you will NOT be one of the 70% of Americans who report being less than very happy. Or one of the 46% percent of workers who feel unappreciated. Or one of the 54% of Americans concerned about the level of stress in their everyday lives. And you will AVOID higher medical costs, lower work efficiency and missed days at work.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Turn up your speakers and be inspired!

Today’s Quote-
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”
~ Unknown author

Today’s Tip-
When we see a butterfly, our thoughts may be…what a beautiful creature! How wonderful to fly about freely, bringing beauty to whomever’s path it crosses. We don’t think about the journey that butterfly took to become this awesome display of nature.

This butterfly was once a creeping and colorless caterpillar. Who, may or may not survive harsh weather, a landscaper’s freewheeling tool or just simply the process it must undergo to become that beautiful butterfly.

And that cocoon… some say how they wish they could be in a cocoon. They see it as a “safe” place, a warm and comforting place. But, like the butterfly of this quote, it could also be construed as a dark place, a lonely place, wondering how long before the “light” shines through.

The hope of becoming that beautiful butterfly can inspire. If a little caterpillar can transform into a beautiful butterfly… what are our possibilities? The “transformation” part may be difficult. It may be a quick transformation, it may take longer.

BE PATIENT! Like a butterfly, there is beauty in all of us. When you shed your cocoon and spread your beautiful wings, the world will be waiting.

Imagine Kindness Everywhere

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:14:56 +0000

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is brought to you by Lisa Metwaly from Minnesota.

Lisa’s husband, Jimmy, bought their café 15 years ago, when it was known as the Q Restaurant. Two years ago, business was slow, so his wife — a life coach — brought her skills onboard. Thus was born the Q Kindness Café, and business has improved.

Kindness multiplied in such great amounts at the Q Kindness Cafe that St. Paul’s mayor proclaimed the first week of every month Kindness Week. Suddenly, Lisa’s one-woman quest to ramp up random acts of kindness became more than she ever imagined.

Thank you for sharing Lisa!

Imagine kindness everywhere…people giving to give and not to get…

Imagine the life lessons we’d learn
when the gifts we gave keep on giving
in ways beyond our imagination…

Imagine the stimulation in our own lives
and the lives of others as we focus
in all that we have to give…

Imagine the reality we can create by
living in the giving and not the get…

What if each one of us invites another to give…
What if we teach the world to give…in small, thoughtful ways…

What if the giving became the stimulus
that helps us spiral up and out of any mess we’re in…

Instead of going around in a vicious circle, what if we changed one simple thing?

Give a little more. Spread kindness. Offer hope. Give of our self.

Imagine that!
One good deed deserves another and on and on…

Imagine how this could
stimulate our economy;
stimulate the world;
stimulate your world.

Create a stimulus package of your own!
Today!
Now!
And feel good knowing that you make a difference every day.

A Lesson in Love

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:00:51 +0000

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is brought to you by Michael Jordan Segal.

Michael, who defied all odds after being shot in the head, is a husband, father, social worker, author, and inspirational speaker. His “miraculous” comeback story was first published in Chicken Soup for the Christian Family Soul. He has a CD of 12 of his inspirational short stories, entitled POSSIBLE, available on his web site. For more information, go to www.InspirationByMike.com

“A Lesson in Love”
By Michael Jordan Segal, MSW

Audio- “A Lesson in Love”

“I never liked rings. I do not wear a high school ring; I do not wear a college ring; and I did not want to wear a wedding ring. This was not because I did not want people to know that I was married, but because I just did not feel comfortable with a ring on my finger.

After graduating from college I finally was about to “pop the question” to my high school sweetheart, Sharon Gail Weingarton, who continually was at my side when I was almost fatally injured during a robbery.

Sharon was the best — pretty, kind, sweet, and good-hearted. However, what would she say when I proposed and said that I did not want to wear a wedding ring? I practiced what I was going to say to her. I thought long and hard. I finally decided that there was no answer to my dilemma. I would simply tell her, and then wait five minutes listening to her explode.

So that night I proposed, and afterwards I told Sharon that I was not going to wear a ring. I simply said: “I just don’t like rings. I don’t wear a high school ring…” I expected Sharon to become enraged: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A WEDDING RING?”

However, instead, I merely heard silence. After what in my mind seemed like an eternity, Sharon calmly remarked: “Fine. If you don’t want to wear a wedding ring, I won’t change my name. I will not call myself Sharon Segal.”

On our Fifteenth Anniversary, I remembered my first lesson of marriage that was taught to me by my wife Sharon Gail Segal as I looked down upon the ring on my ring finger — COMPROMISE.”

Today’s quote

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more…It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
~Melody Beattie

Nick Vujicic is often asked,
“How come you smile so much?”
He says, “It’s a long story.”

Today’s tip

Here we are at the end of another year. When reflecting back, how are you feeling about this past year? Are you feeling disappointed about what you did not accomplish? Do you have any regrets or hard feelings about anything or anyone?

Be aware of how you are feeling when only focusing on what went wrong during the year. Are you feeling stressed or anxious?

How about focusing on what did go right this year. Just like the radio stations play the “Top 40″ songs at the end of the year, let’s make a list of the “Top 40″ things you are grateful for this past year. Include everything; no matter how small the accomplishment. When focusing on the positive things, notice how you are feeling. Are you feeling more at peace and joyful?

As Melody Beattie said in her quote- “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.” It’s one of the secrets to true happiness.

I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.
