Heart Health

Heart disease is the number killer! We need to take steps to taking care of ourselves. Why not start this month. Just take 30 minutes out of our busy day and walk. Actually, we will have more energy. Our mood will be so much better and we will be happier because we know we did something good for our bodies.

I would love to hear from you! Let me know who has done something good for their heart this month!

Could you Just Listen?

Could You Just Listen?

When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what I asked.

When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings.

When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me, strange as that may seem.

Listen! All I asked was that you listen, not talk or do - just hear me.

Advice is cheap; 20 cents will get you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham in the same paper.

I can do for myself; I'm not helpless - maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless.

When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself,
you contribute to my fear and inadequacy.

But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational,
then I can quit trying to convince you and can get about the business of understanding what's behind this irrational feeling.

When that's clear, the answers are obvious and I don't need advice..

Irrational feelings make more sense when we understand what's behind them..

Perhaps that's why prayer works, sometimes, for some people - because God is mute, and He/She doesn't give advice or try to fix things.

"They" just listen and let you work it out for yourself.

So, please listen and just hear me.

And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn - and I'll listen to you.

Opportunity

Well January is gone and February is upon us! Have you completed your taxes? Or are you just starting to work on them? This is a time for new beginnings! Also, a great opportunity for tax breaks. Have you thought of owning your own business? Or do you just need some good tax breaks?

Having a home business is an excellent opportunity for both questions! Visit my website at http://www.marykay.com/karenb for more information on our career opportunity! If you know anyone that could benefit from a home business refer them to my website.

Have a truly blessed day!
Karen
