Holiday Parties & New Year's Eve

Happy Upcoming New Year's Eve! 

The bottom half of this blog post is only for everyone who is 21+ and who are planning on being out for the evening.

Enjoy these last few weeks of 2014. Spend some time alone reflecting on the year's events. Ask yourself what you've learned and be honest with yourself about you need to keep and what you need to let go of. 

As you begin to shift your thinking into the possibilities of the new year, start jotting down [small] goals. We'll get into the New You next year. 

Relax. Have fun. Enjoy all of the wonderful things about the holidays. 

Wishing you a wonderful upcoming year!

  It's that time (again) that we say good-bye to one year and welcome a new one in.

Spend some time journaling, reflecting and meditating over last year, all you've learned and done and what you'd like to see for the upcoming year.

Be sure you set goals because you want to 

~ not because you have to.

We have a plethora of downloads and eBooks that may help support your goals.

Holiday Crafty Time

Welcome Winter Holidays! 

This is a great time of year to carve out some very special friend and/or family time. (This is a wonderful opportunity to spend some quality, quiet time with you, too!) It gets so busy this time of year, all the visiting, meals, cooking, shopping, wrapping, decorating...so many holidays in such a short amount of time! Why not use this time to get things done and bond with your loved ones? 

Last month we covered gratitude journaling. This month we're focusing on bonding and relationship time. One great way to do this is with some type of crafting or cooking. The idea is to be an intimate, comfortable environment where you can bond with those around you or simply, be able to hear yourself think, without any interruptions. 

Remember, this is a fun exercise! You can write about who came over, what you did, and any details that you want to include in your journal. Jot down ideas for next year, too! This is a wonderful opportunity to scrapbook-up your journal pages! All you have to do to spruce it up is to add some pictures, wrapping paper and/or doodlings and drawings in your journal. Fun, simple and easy!  

If you don't already have one...

 At Changes Made Easy .com we believe it's about consciousness. We think life should be fun... more fun... bunches and bunches of fun! We also believe that every choice each and every one of us make, everyday has the potential to substantially change the world... our world. This is a great opportunity to bring you unique and thoughtful products. We have a huge selection of various products to support all types of causes and differences in thought. Click Here to Visit The Spunky Plum. 

Need more Ideas?!! Living Lightly Newsletter posts regularly to Facebook and has a line of Holiday DIY Idea Videos on YouTube. If you haven't signed up for the monthly newsletter, you can do that here.

You can do something! Crafty or not... there is something that you are good at, can do or would like to learn. And, you can always start with something small. Remember... Have Fun! 

Here's a fun board on Pinterest (Yes! You should be on it! Really, you'll find the best ideas, pictures and recipes for anything and everything you can think of!) for those of you out there that do not cook. Best. Idea. Ever. Make some type of mix for your holiday parties, your counter  and/or gifts. You can tailor it with the thoughts you want to be thinking (and giving!) and it's so easy to make it 'special' for everyone in your life! From the raw-foodist to the vegan/vegetarian to the I love chocolate person... you've got this covered; everyone loves munches! 

Follow Jennifer McVey's board Chex Mix Recipes ❤️ on Pinterest.

OK, so, you're already crafty and fabulous in the kitchen, try branching out and doing something different this year. If you're usually surrounded by people, do something alone and if you lead more of a solitary celebration life, try doing a little something with someone else. And, crafts and cooking make this really easy! (Oh, hint... all craft stores have craft kits for everything from candle and soap making to painting a frame-able picture in a couple of hours! Yay!)

You can do anything that you like! You can make gifts for yourself, your friends, your family, everyone's  pets or you could even make things to give away. For example, all year round, the company JenCraft makes jewelry and beaded items to donate. (If you know any places that would like a gift box sent, please contact JenCraft here.) 

 JenCraft ❥ We use the gifting of our jewelry to add hope, love and inspiration to each hand it passes through.  Our goal is to have each child that uses and wears our beaded items to be reminded of how incredibly special and needed they are ~ every moment of every day.    

The company JenCraft makes jewelry, bookmarks and a variety of beaded items to give to children to brighten their worlds. We also make a variety of items to donate for auction for Charities and Fund Raisers.All of our Jewelry is Handmade and Full of Love, Hope and Blessings. Nothing our company makes is for sale. All of our creations are for donation purposes only.  Please visit us here to browse through our selections.Please let us know if you have a recommendation or if there is a special place you would like us to send out gifts or would like to become one of our gifting centers. Go to our BlogClick below to view our slideshow: JenCraft ♥ Gifts of Jewelry

The Grace of Gratitude

This is the time of year that we are reminded to be thankful. 

A wonderful way to stay in the grace of gratitude all year long is with a gratitude journal. 

You can write as often as you like about anything and everything that you appreciate in your life.

It's a great way to 'naturally' stay focused on what's important to you. And, you can start at anytime, at any phase of life and, of course, any age!

[This [blog] entry focuses on using one journal specifically for gratitude entries only.]  What a lovely time of year to focus on your Gratitude Journal. If you don't have one, no problem! Get one when you can. And, if you're already doing gratitude entries in your journal, good job! All of the suggestions are for you to decide what works best for you. Gratitude is about appreciation and it is extremely personal and precious. For when we deeply appreciate someone or something, it clicks something inside of us, that only we can experience/understand. Your Gratitude Journal is where you express your emotions, memories and moments of deep appreciation, love and feelings of blessings.

Honoring America's Veterans

 

It's November 11th... No Blog Entry today ~ I spend every Veteran's Day volunteering my time to everyone that has served in The United States Military. (I work with service men and women ~ oh, and I've had a couple service dog sessions, too!) It's the very least that I can do. If you'd like to know more about Veteran's Day, you can read about it online or click here, it's just a quick link to the definition and a tiny bit of history. 

Click on the picture for a link to all of the companies honoring our veterans. 

I have such a deep love and appreciation for their service, I want to do all I can. I have a webpage that explains it and lists the benefits  discounts, days and services that are available to them. If you know anyone who served, pass this along, it would be greatly appreciated.

Help! I think I've seen a ghost!

What you should do if you see a Ghost

First, let’s start with the knowledge they are just people.

If someone walked into your yard you wouldn’t run away screaming; or if someone bumped into you wouldn’t hide in your room with all of the lights on; or if heard some one talking or a baby crying  across the house, you wouldn’t freak out and refuse to sleep in that room anymore, would you?

Ghosts are people (without a physical body). I could complicate things and give you a whole bunch of information about the Light, Spirit, Astral World, Heaven, Hell, (the list goes on forever) or I can tell you to go back to the very basics; think simply.

They are like you, your friends, neighbors, coworkers, family (they may actually bethose people). They have thoughts and feelings. They make decisions and choices. If you can really wrap your mind around that they are just people, then you’ll be able to handle the situation comfortably and confidently. People. Can you trust everyone you meet? No. Is everyone you meet out to get you or trying to hurt you? No. What do most people want? To be listened to, recognized and loved, right? Do you know anyone, at all, that doesn’t want peace, security and happiness? No. We all crave those things. So do they; whatever those things may be to them. We are all different and the same at the same time, dead or alive.

So, what should you do if you see a Ghost?

1. Remain calm!
2. Surround yourself with golden Light and Ask your Higher Self to protect, ease your panic and guide you

• Listen to your Higher Self guidance!
• Eliminate doubt… even if you think you can’t do it, your Spirit can.

Now, you can: 

• Send them to the Light 
• Have your Higher Self take them to the Light
• Have your Higher Self  get their perfect Guide to take them to the Light or where ever
• Ask them to leave, stop touching stuff, be quiet, etc.
• Have a conversation with them

Oh, and by the way… this is your world- not theirs. They don’t have a physical body, you’re in the physical world/plane (whatever you want to call it) you have more power here than them.

Don’t give your power away because you’re terrified of them. Or more accurately, what you can’t see or don’t know.

Side Note: They are not parlor tricks, they are not fun to have around or to brag about (it’s not cool to have a ‘haunted house’ or a ‘pet ghost’ unless it really is your pet that’s passed), they are to be treated with respect. Why? Because it is the right thing to do. They are people, who are stuck for whatever reason- in a world that hey don’t belong in anymore. How would it feel to be ignored by 95% (that is probably a very low figure) of the people you come in contact with? Could you imagine seeing the people you love every day knowing they can’t hear or see or feel you? What about those that wander around for all eternity looking for someone? Or constantly trying to get people out of your house because you don’t know you’re dead? What about reliving something awful over and over and over and over? Or knowing you need/want/ belong somewhere else and you can’t remember how to get there or where it is? Or that everywhere you go (and you can go everywhere) you are either exploited or rejected (ugh, running away from them or screaming at them to get out and/or banishing them does constitute as rejection.) And what about just trying to get some ones attention that they react by being terrified of you?

(You have to wonder if they are all thinking, “Why do they keep turning on all the lights?” or “What’s that awful smelly stuff they always burn?”)

It’s simple. Be kind; Be tolerant; Help them.

Be nice person, they’ll thank you for it.

And you’ll feel good about your experience with a ghost, you’ll trade that scared, fearful feeling for one of love and healing. Can’t beat that, can you?

#DIY #Healing Downloads

The Do It Yourself Download Series started out of a great need to help people find an affordable way to work with themselves in the comfort of their own homes when they have the time and are 'in the mood' to focus on their inner worlds.

The DIY downloads work with your subconscious mind to help you to pin point and eliminate stress and blocks, stop

self-sabotaging behavior, change your thinking, increase your will power and confidence, and keep you focused on your goals, whatever your priorities are. 

All of the items you'll find through our various stores, give you a clue in their titles. You'll find everything from cleaning your house to sleeping through the night to communicating with your pets to completely over hauling your emotional or physical state to being happy or changing habits and modifying your behavior. Click here to read about how and why 'it' works and this link should answer any questions that you may have about the reading.

Namaste.

With such a boom in the new age community, metaphysics in general and inability to license, verify or screen the professionalism, validity and quality of psychics, psychic readers, mediums, tarot card readers, hypnotists, hypnotherapists, regression therapists, past life therapists, spiritual healers, spiritual counselors and the like, it has become increasingly difficult to decipher the quality from the quantity.

It’s quite simple, really. It’s about consciousness. Every person has a motivation behind everything they do… they have a driving force that moves them through their life. Every psychic, psychic reader, medium, tarot card reader, hypnotist, hypnotherapist, regression therapist, past life therapist, spiritual healer, spiritual counselor has a reason that they do what they do. You have a reason(s) you do what you do. There’s a reason you are reading this right now, that are drawn to the psychic arts, the Mind, hypnosis, spiritual healing, spiritual counseling or are drawn to find out about your past lives, try regression therapy or get a psychic reading.

You have a Higher Self that’s guiding you. You have a golden path if you choose to find it/follow it and you have a very powerful mind that is creating your life. Your Higher Self will guide you, your subconscious mind will alert you and your intuition will prompt you to make the best choices for you. So whether it’s a psychic, psychic reader, medium, tarot card reader, hypnotist, hypnotherapist, regression therapist, past life therapist, spiritual healer, spiritual counselor you are looking for or if you want/need past life therapy, inner child healing, regression therapy or get a psychic reading, you will be guided to the right person at the right time. Ask your Higher Self to help you.
