“The DASH” beautiful Poem by Linda Ellis

Posted on June 16, 2011

Hi Everyone…I had to share this beautiful Poem “The Dash” by Linda Ellis
I had heard about this poem many many years ago but the only part that I could remember was that
the dash between your Birth date and Death date represented YOUR whole LIFE.
This did make me think very hard about what I would like that dash to say about my life.

That is why I’m very passionate about being an inspiration to others and helping them
learn that you do deserve to Live the Life of your Dreams.

So please read the poem first then watch the movie “THE DASH”

The Dash Poem by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

NOW what are your thoughts after reading the poem and watching the movie?
What is your DASH going to say about YOU?
Please share them with us because by sharing your thoughts or experiences you
may be an inspiration to others.

Cheers Chrissy Greig

Affirmations

Posted on June 13, 2011

Module 2 ….Creating Confident Women..Will be all about “The Power of Affirmations”

Developing a positive mindset is very important to living a positive Life. Using techniques such as , visualizations and positive affirmations, it is possible to achieve whatever you want. At a personal level it will transform your life, your health and renew the joy and passion for life. Make sure you are waking up each morning bursting with energy and passion for the new day.

The results you are experiencing in your life right now, arefrom your previous thoughts and actions.
What you continue to tell yourself is what you will become.

If you don’t like your results you have created so far !!! WELL!!! then you will have to change your thoughts and actions.
The simplest way to change your thoughts is through affirmations.

If you are always thinking negative thoughts then you probably experience negative results and this
thinking just comes from habit.

But if you are ready to make those changes then lets get you started on some affirmations.

Affirmations help you target your feeling and actions so you can get the results you want.

I have created a small video that you can use as an example for your affirmations I find the video works the best for me. You can make a list of your affirmations and say them in front of the mirror while looking directly into your own eyes. You can record them on a mp3 player and listen to them over and over again ( hearing them in your own voice is a great tool). Write them out on small cards and carry them with you so you can get them out at anytime and read them over and over again.

AFFIRMATION VIDEO

I will be sharing a lot more detailed information about AFFIRMATIONS and how and why they can work for you.

Learn more about the secret little word that I have discovered to add to my affirmations that has produce faster results and a fantastic positive feeling.
