“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” ~ Mother Teresa
To me, spring conjures up emotions of joy, delight, gladness and hope. We’d all benefit from living with these thoughts continually, but it is not always easy due to the pressures, strains and even setbacks that come with life.
Living with the Easter spirit, meaning “living with a renewed sense of purpose,” can be evoked through daily thoughts of gratefulness for small things rather than the grandiose. A child lives with eyes wide-open to the small wonders in everyday life. If individuals had the life-long capacity to dwell in the awe-struck emotions of a tot, what a glorious world we would live in; filled with satisfaction, eliminating any sort of mundane existence at all.
Today, I am going make a list of fulfilling things that bring a big sense of awe and wonder, if we fully embrace the experience every time:
- A bird hatching from an egg
- A newborn animal trying to stand for the first time, just after birth.
- Every sunrise and sunset
- Each season and nature’s way of knowing how and when to bring it on.
- The first snowfall of winter.
- People’s faith despite difficult or tragic times.
- Pure and beautiful scent of a baby’s head
- Rise and ebb of the tides
- Enduring marriages and friendships that have been strengthened by challenges.
All precious and magical, if we recognize them as such. Living with positive spirit means training our brains to think all kinds of fulfilling things.
Happy Spring, everyone! May you nest in the spirit of Easter every single day.

“When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.” ~ Jean Shinoda Bolen
Snow is quickly disappearing, even from the higher elevations in Northwestern Colorado, where winter tends to be much longer than I’d really like. Mother Nature was very kind to us this year; snow didn’t arrive in earnest until the beginning of February. A light winter has meant early spring. Hurray!
Yesterday, as I took my daily walk, I saw a favorite indicator of the season of light – a mass of daffodils, in full bloom. As I moved along, I began to consider all the colors of the spectrum and how nature could not spring forth a better color choice after a season of darkness and drab. In spring, artists are drawn to painting daffodils, jonquils, crocuses, forsythias and tulips; it is no wonder. Yellow is a color of joy and creative energy.
Wow – I think I need more than just a touch of yellow in my life; lately I have been struggling with writers block. At this point, I need to call in a bulldozer to clear away the permafrost, and then have a whole bucket load of daffodils and other pastel poseys dropped into my line of sight for visual effects. Perhaps that will stimulate my brain and creativity. Kind of an expensive proposition, though, don’t you think?
Perhaps I ought to resort to self-help, instead. This Easter weekend, maybe I will create an arrangement to light up my life and make me smile. Not only does adding yellow to a wardrobe bring a cheery, uplifting effect, if you put it in your home and office it’s a great remedy for clearing the mind, helping with the decision-making process and sharpening your memory, too. Yellow –nourishment for mind and spirit!
Do you have any fulfilling plans for this Easter weekend? What will you do to inspire new beginnings and personal growth in your life? Celebrate this season of light.

“I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.” ~ Pablo Casals
Did you know that today is “I Matter, You Matter” Day all over the world? Truly, it is.
This International day of recognition, established by www.youareneveralonefoundation.org celebrates the value of each person’s life as friends, family, community members and to the world at large.
You Are Never Alone Foundation is a “small Vermont grassroots non-profit organization that shares a message of caring, connection and hope by reminding each person they matter.” “Caring coins” distributed by this organization are small tokens inscribed with the words “You are Never Alone.” First given to troubled teens, to senior citizens, to hospice patients and to military troops from Vermont headed to war in Afghanistan, little by little, “the good news of hope” has gathered momentum worldwide. These coins are now available in English and Spanish and have traveled to places far beyond Vermont such as Uganda, Guatemala, Bangladesh and Ecuador!
In celebration of “I Matter, You Matter” Day, a newly-designed wooden coin is now available with these very simple, yet meaningful words. Great as small, affordable gifts, they maybe ordered individually or in larger sets, perfect for anyone who needs to hear that they are cared about.
Let’s be frank; fact of the matter is there are lots of ways you can tell someone you care without spending a dime. Looking for other fulfilling ways to touch people’s hearts on this “I Matter, You Matter Day”? Please visit this link http://bit.ly/54RPmR.
Connect with special someone today. Help spread the word that each one of us counts. Have a wonderful day!

Have you noticed that AARP keeps lowering the age for senior citizen status? I am not sure I like that. Why attach the title of “senior citizen” to yourself until you are ready to accept that is what you are? In my mind, I will not become a part of the elderly set for a long time yet.
The other day I e-mailed my twin sister and suggested she read “South of Superior” by Ellen Airgood. She sent me a return e-mail saying “I looked it up on my Kindle, and AARP has given the book great reviews. But, I am not sure, the book is for me.” I told her it doesn’t matter that the review came from AARP, it was a fulfilling read.
There is a lesson of affirmative action that comes out of the publishing of this book. This was Ellen Airgood’s first time attempt at publishing her work. She does not have an MFA in writing, an English literature degree or anything else behind her that suggests she ought to be a good writer. But she has authored a deeply satisfying read.
The author has to her benefit, personal perspective on the subject about which she writes – attitudes and life. Ellen Airgood is a diner owner in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where life has both struggles and rewards. She sees the heartbeat of America day in and day out. From her dealings with people, the author has captured the essence of life in her book.
Check it out! I found “South of Superior” to be a delightful fictional story. The book takes an honest look at small town America and a glimpse into what makes people and rural communities tick.
And remember, a good read is a good read, no matter what. It is as plain and simple as that. For more information on this book, please visit www.ellenairgood.com.

“Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.” ~ Joel Osteen
Ok – so today my mind is out of control. So what if I am thinking about filters. I’ve thought about much worse things before. I am consumed with filters – air filters, water filters, coffee filters, filters on camera lenses and such. If I made a list of items that have filters, it would be quite long.
What is the definition of filter anyway? According to Webopedia, http://bit.ly/y5xShO A filter is: “A pattern through which data is passed. Only data that matches the pattern is allowed to pass through the filter.”
Consider how filters apply to lives rather than things. If we lived by the definition of filter by only permitting information that matches a certain standard to pass through our brains, we could ultimately control our life experience. In other words, setting a pattern of thinking positive things, and not letting negative thoughts and emotions enter into the equation would bring life altering change. Wouldn’t it?
Hey, now! There is some validity to that. As a writer, whenever I begin to think “I don’t know what to write” or “I don’t know how to put it down on paper” I may as well be building walls rather than blogs. Time to call it a day.
With positive feelings or with no preconceived notions of what I am going to write, and by letting the free flow of thought fill the paper, the best results come.
Affirmative thoughts bring affirmative action, fulfilling thoughts bring fulfilling things. Affirmative thoughts bring affirmative action, fulfilling thoughts bring fulfilling things. Affirmative thoughts…….
Ahhh – My writer’s mantra is working. “Visualize and achieve” thoughts have kicked in. Perhaps being consumed with filters was good for me after all. Merci beaucoup!

Marriage is a promise. Not just between the couple but to the community at large, to generations past and to those yet to be born. ~ Heritage.org
Why do people decide to independently publish a book? Often times it is because they want to educate and inform. The author of Out of Focus …Again, Ann Kochenberger had exactly that motive in mind, when she decided to publish her book.
Ann wanted to share, with others, her struggles with depression and how she has found personal success in living a fulfilling life despite having bi-polar disorder. This disease affects more than 17 million people, in the United States alone.
Unabashedly, and with good humor too, Ann describes how her bouts of depression have affected her relationship with her husband of more than 30 years, her parenting and with her family, too.
Finding My Way Back from Depression, Ann’s new e-book directly speaks to the coping strategies that saved her from debilitating symptoms of depression.
Gary Kochenberger, PhD has much of value to say in his companion e-book Depression…A Guide for Caregivers from the role of being a protector and nurturer of a loved one with the disease. He shares his perspectives on how their marriage has survived, how the caregiver can be pro-active in learning about the disorder, some of the mistakes Gary has made, trigger points that a partner can watch for and help their loved one avoid.
If someone you know suffers the effects of bi-polar disorder, these companion books are great resources. The books are written from very personal and non-clinical points of view. The book in-print Out of Focus…Again as well as Ann and Gary’s e-books can be ordered on-line through www.outoffocusagain.com. The e-books are also sold through Amazon.
Both Ann and her husband Gary are dedicated to helping others who are trying to cope with a loved one with bipolar disease. As a couple, they frequently speak to groups and families about depression and bipolar disorder.
Check in on author Ann Kochenbergers’s blog on www.outoffocusagain.com. She shares all kinds of information about living a fulfilling life with bi-polar disorder.

On Monday I posted a blog called the Art of Listening. I promised to share more information on All Things Fulfilling about H.A.Levin’s book “A History of Horses Told by Horses: Horse Sense for Humans.” So here it is ~
This book is told from the perspective of a horse. Thoughts are communicated from horse to human (the author) telepathically. Essentially – What would horses say about humans and their world if they could talk?
Hal, the author, is a spiritual healer who communicates with animals. Through his telepathic capacities he points out from a horse’s point of view, that our society has grown too complex, leaving a detachment between people and the natural world. The reason women and horses form particularly close relationships is that women are more open to inspiration and enlightenment. Horses want women to gain self confidence through their relationships with equines, so they will feel the ability to change the course of the world. How about it women? Are you up to the task?
Author H.A. Levin (Hal) travels to many countries to learn about various species of horses and how man and animal have accomplished things together throughout civilization. There are chapters on the history of numerous kinds of equine species, such as:
- sporting horses
- work horses
- war horses
- race horses
- performance horses
This author has planned a series of books about the history of animals and their place in our world, please visit http://bit.ly/AuzEE3 Habitat for Humanity is a publishing partner in the The History of Horses Told by Horses.
For non-animal lovers, ”Letters to An Angel: How to Love Life and “ Quotations for Successful Living“ are more books from H.A. Levin. They share with the reader how Hal has “learned to look for a rich and fulfilling life despite obstacles or fear of failure.”

Valentines Greetings from me to you on this winter white February Day from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Love comes in all kinds of forms and unexpected ways, meaning something different to each of us. Today, I simply wish to quote one the brightest stars in history on the business of living life and finding personal fulfillment ~Albert Einstein. He said it all. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
“Make this day and every day about all things fulfilling in your life!

“Horses leave hoof prints on your heart” ~ H.A. Levin
Steamboat Springs, Colorado is an interesting town; a mix of ski resort and ranching communities all wrapped up in beautiful scenery and people who have chosen a way of life that may not be for everyone. Once I began poking around this place, I found out it is an amazing microcosm of people with diverse talents and interests. A very friendly community, too!
I met H.A. Levin (Hal) a writer and independent publisher back in June, when I formed a meet-up group, called She Writes Steamboat. It is a networking group of independent publishers who gather monthly. The mission of the group is to foster independent publishing success. Part way through our first meeting, I noticed a sole male presence quietly sitting in the back.
After we wrapped up our meeting, Hal (H.A. Levin) came over to talk . I don’t recall exactly how our conversation went but he said something like “I hope you don’t mind that a male writer came today, I saw the notice in the Steamboat Pilot that this group was going to meet.”
I told Hal that I was delighted to have him, and that the name of the group that I had chosen had nothing to do with excluding the male population of writers. I am a member of an on-line group called www.SheWrites.com . I wanted to our group to have affiliation with a national group. We have since slightly revised the name of our meet up group to SHe Writes Steamboat, to encourage male independent publishers to attend, and it has worked!
Since meeting Hal, I have learned that he has some very interesting talents and his writing emerges from his gifts of intuitive thought and communication with animals. In fact, in his book A History of Horses Told by Horses, there is some fascinating conjecture about women, their place in the world at large and the relationships that they have with horses.
Amelia Kincaide, www.ameliakincaide.com author of the books The Language of Miracles and Straight from the Horses Mouth has this to say this about Hal’s book “Bless you and thank you for devoting your life to speaking for those who ache to be heard.”
On Wednesday on All Things Fulfilling we will be featuring H.A. Levin’s book. Don’t miss out tomorrow either, I would love to share a few minutes of February 14th with you.

Today, I received by mail, my monthly issue of Kiwanis Magazine. The 97th Annual Kiwanis International Convention is being held in New Orleans this summer. The eclectic culture that permeates the city will provide a lively experience for Kiwanians coming together from all over the world.
Hospitality and conventions are not new to this city. The spirit of the “Crescent City” and its residents has always been joyfully shared with tourists through the city’s music, regional culinary delights and architecture. There are French, Cajun, Spanish, Creole, Carribean influences throughout the city and it’s people.
In 2005, deadly Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans. The images our country saw on television were beyond belief. At the time, our son was a junior at an outstanding high school with a state of the art film program. His school, Burr and Burton Academy www.burrburton.org sent him and another student, an outstanding writer, to Louisiana to produce a documentary film about the ravages of the storm on the city and its people. A contingent of other compassionate and giving students went along to do relief work – cleaning up and mucking out flooded houses. They did all they could, while they were there, to help families to rebuild their lives.
The film footage that our son returned with, after two trips to the scene, gave my husband and me an even deeper look at the devastation and the despair. Seven years ago, I thought “how in the world will they ever restore their properties and their spirits? There is so much to do.”
The city of New Orleans has proven it has spirit and soul! The city has begun humming with activity again. Its people are fulfilling examples for others that we can rise above the worst of times with the right attitude.
Welcome back, New Orleans! Welcome back. I am delighted that you will serve as host city to Kiwanis International this year.
For more information on Kiwanis International and the service club’s mission to improve the quality of life for children and families worldwide”, please visit www.kiwanis.org on-line.
There is also a new cellphone app for Kiwanis. Download it on your cell phone! I did.
