The very first article I picked up to read on January 1 2013, was the January/February 2013 Healthy Living Made Simple by Sam’s Club. I normally quickly flip through the pages but an article on Lessons on Gratitude from Oprah and Deepak Chopra caught my eye. Oprah says . . . “that there is a […]
The Blessing of Peace on Earth
My message for this New Year is the Blessing of Peace. I have a wonderful video that I sent to my family and friends to remind them of peace and the beauty that surrounds us. www.runningdogphotography.com/photo-galleries/video/2012-christmas-video-2/. If we only take a minute to slow down and stop doing. It’s about slowing down and allowing the beautiful colors, […]
Captain Cuddly Pants, the Cat
I’m often asked what animals feel when we bless them. The closest feeling or emotion they have to a blessing, is allowing. Think about it.

Power of Our Hearts
One day I was juggling my to-do list of legal and marketing deadlines for Bless Your Heart. In the back of my head, I was thinking “why me”. Why did I start this endeavor and why did I think the world “needed” it and why did I think I could do it. There is a […]
The Masters Return
The Masters Return by Joseph Crane, edited by G W Hardin. There was no shortage of volunteers as descriptions came froth saying how the unblessed water tasted like plastic from the bottle. Others described how the chemicals were quite evident in the unblessed water while not present in the blessed water. Still others described how […]
The Hidden Messages in Water
The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto is one of my favorite books. A picture says a thousand words or seeing is believing. Emoto writes: “The vibration of good words has a postiive effect on our world, whereas the vibration from negative words has the power to destroy. There are also fascinating differences generated […]
Bless Your Heart Alabaster
This piece was created as a gift for my parents several years ago. I remember telling the artist, I wanted a sculpture that represented love but not in a sappy way.
