Christy’s Blog

I have been using the law of attraction and my life is getting better everyday!  It is so amazing and exciting when you see it working in your life.  If you are skeptical here is some proof.

About two weeks ago I blogged about b5media’s new music channel.  (They have a long list of blogs about music, something for every music lover!)  b5Media offered a contest. Everyone who blogged about the new music channel was entered into a random drawing to win an iPod and several other prizes.

Over the past couple weeks I have thought about the opportunity to win an iPod and I have assured myself that I AM a winner and I would be winning something from that contest.  I just knew in my heart that I would win.

This morning upon checking my emails I received confirmation from Shai Coggins at b5Media that won a Memorex MP3 Player!!  I am so excited!  I am a winner!

In the past I would have not even entered because I would have listened to that negative voice inside that tells my I am loser.  I don’t hear that voice much anymore, when I do I tell it it is wrong.  I am a winner!

Thank you Shai, b5Media and the Universe!!  You made my day!

Today is Father’s Day so I would like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!

Have a great day! (Especially you Doug!)

Today is my mom’s birthday!

She was born on Flag Day so it is always easy to remember Mom’s birthday.

I am not going to tell you how old she is because that wouldn’t be polite.  She is 29!

I hope she has a wonderful birthday, the best one ever!

Happy Birthday Mom!  And many, many more! 

It is nice to have a day a year set aside to officially remember those we have lost. On Memorial Day folks head to the cemetary to place flowers on the grave site of a loved one. Many people have a ritual. They clean the stone, pull or trim the grass. Maybe they take a gift for the love one. On that day their memories of the loved one are strong. They feel sad, happy, loss, blessed. They remember good times, happy times and so much more.

I know because I have lost loved ones. Three years ago I lost my father quite suddenly. So, not just on Memorial Day, the above thoughts and feelings run through me. My dad was (is) a bright star. I am so fortunate that we made many memories. In fact I have volumes of memories to recall everyday. I have an appropriate “Dad-ism” for every occassion. Those memories can be bitter sweet. I never thought I could feel happy and sad at the same time. Dad can still make me laugh but I miss him and that makes me sad.

This morning before I woke up I saw Dad in a dream. It was nothing particular but it made me feel like he is close by today on this Memorial Day. I believe he is always close by but today he showed me.

Everyday is Memorial Day for me. Everyday I remember my loved ones lost. I know that a cemetary doesn’t hold my loved ones. They are with me all the time. They are a part of me.
