A break from holiday music....

(since all previous enigma embeds were removed due to being linked to playlists of others....)

An evening tune to relax to... enjoy :o)

(this song came to mind while gathering the christmas candles for the windows... seems a fitting tune)

Sweet Dreams --- Always...

Think Happy Thoughts ...

Food For Thought: Mayan Prophecy - Dec. 21st 2012

Many fear the end of the mayan calendar as a warning of the end of the world when the calendar ends on dec 21st, however, imagine being the fella creating the calendar. Day in and day out documenting the dates as the elders party around a bon fire. Asking his boss, hey joe - how long do you expect me to make this thing.. i'm getting carpal tunnel over here, do we really need a calendar that goes forever. perhaps joe simply replied, ok frank - go ahead and stop on december 2012

a tad inspirational Food For Thought & a bit of song to get you moving... smiling,... on a Friday eve :o) Enjoy! Take Care & Smile Much ...

... perhaps try a biggy floppy hat, big sunglasses, kick back in a shady spot and C-H-I-L-L :O) , (food for thought: if you were on a beautiful, tropical island somewhere with the same degree of heat and humidity would you still find it to be as uncomfortable? Perhaps try a scented candle, something tropical, slice up some fresh chilled fruit, and enjoy your tropical journey...)
meanwhile, a bit of song to carry you there...

A memory tip to remember

Many moons ago a fella told me of a creative way he would remember information when taking exams back in college. He spoke of our sense of smell being one of our strongest tools in remembering. We’ve all experienced it. A certain scent lingering in the air transports us back to a different time and place, an event, in which the scent was previously noted. To remember data for an exam he used scented hand lotion when studying then on the day of the exam used the same hand lotion and the scent helped him to recall his studies. He suggested using vanilla as a trigger since it’s commonly found in lotions, candles, and countless other products. I’ve since shared this with others and have heard a lot of positive results. One girl would burn a vanilla scented candle when reviewing presentation material and then layer vanilla scented personal care products the day of the presentation. Whether or not people’s success can be attributed to this technique, perhaps the success being just a matter of believing that it’s working as it were a placebo or such, it’s worth giving it a go. (If you experience success with this technique please share your experience with me, would love to hear your story) * Ladies..( & gents I suppose) if you're spouse has difficulty remembering anniversaries and other special dates try filling the home with scents remincent of the special day throughout the days leading up to the date, perhaps the fragrance of your wedding flowers, certain foods, the perfume you wore that day. The results may amaze you.. Speaking of memory…

“Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us. “
Oscar Wilde

...life is meant to be a sensory experience :o) ....

Quote of the Day... a lil' food for thought -

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.” ― Mother Teresa

..and something to make you smile...

Kick back , relax, and put your feet up... :o)
