In life, we are presented with experiences that stretch us a little. We might see something that we just cannot believe is actually “real” in our reality. This was my first inclination when I saw this video. I keep watching this and cannot believe that this beautiful golden can do such things. Oh and Sam, well lets just say that he has a new crush in his life:)
Enjoy the video and have the most beautiful weekend everyone- Peace and love- Sam and the crew
Just came across this on MSN and was inspired to pass along…Enjoy!
Just finished the brilliant and wonderful story, The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein.
Something so powerful and worth remembering, “Your car goes where your eyes go.” While we are doing our best to live in joy and experience happiness in our current state of existence, it is equally important to set our intentions and mentally envision our next turn in life to make sure it is something we desire and really want to experience. 
Peace and love
Confusion does not exist in Sam’s world. He has never looked at me confused and helpless or has thrown up his paws saying, “I don’t know.” He just doesn’t allow this limiting thought to come to mind.
While so many people think it might be humbling to admit that they “don’t know,” we might realize that when we declare such a statement, we are only dissipating our God given power away from us, thus attracting more “I don’t know thoughts” which will ultimately prevent us from finding the solution that we are looking for.
Everything that has ever existed and is known throughout the universe already rests within you. When you know this, you will realize that the answers you are looking for will be found by going within and focusing on the beauty and perfection that you really are. When you affirm that you know the answer to something that is puzzling you, the answers that you seek will most certainly come forth to help you move forward with your accomplishment.
Just remember, there is a difference between “thinking” and “knowing.” When you know that you know, you harness the power that is capable of giving you everything on your journey.
Peace and love 
“Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so.”
-Maximus in the movie, Gladiator
Such a powerful quote from the movie. What we hold in our mind’s eye, comes forth into our experience.
Put another way, “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” -Albert Einstein
Find some quiet time today where you can be still and imagine what you would like to have and experience coming up. Hold this vision and it will most certainly come forth for you to enjoy…Peace and love
Enjoy this moment. This moment is all there is. Smile. Play. Have fun right now. What have you done today to inspire others? Are you focused on yourself or are you focused on others, how you can uplift them, serve them, love them? If you find yourself worrying about anything, stop. There is no need to do this anymore. Ask yourself, what am I thankful for? Look around. You see the beauty all around you right? It’s right there, it’s always been there. Yes, Friday comes around and everyone gets all excited about “the weekend.” What about right now? Why not start your weekend right now? Life is a journey, a journey, remember this. How can you make this moment memorable for you so that when you look back, you will smile that you were able to experience such a gift.
When I look at Sam, I see inner peace and his gorgeous smile. His vibes consist only of love…love…love.
What do you see right now all around you?
Peace and love- Sam & David
Many times in life, things happen to us that we certainly did not wish for. It could be a flat tire on the way to work, your dog eating one of your favorite hats. While these unexpected events might cause a bit of disturbance in our lives, it is important that we let them go as soon as possible and learn to just go with the flow. We are born to live in love, joy and happiness and it’s our birthright to experience this daily.
While life “happens,” we must not allow ourselves to be subject to our emotions. Lets be aware of how we feel but choose thoughts of love and possess the strength to move forward triumphantly knowing that the world needs our inner peace to spread positivity and inspire others throughout our days.
No matter what happens today, keep on allowing the world to inspire us in countless ways but most importan
tly, make a positive difference in the lives of others and inspire those around you to have a great day. One love.
“Love wasn’t put in your heart to stay. Love isn’t love until you give it away.”
* A quote in Catherine Ponder’s book called The Prospering Power of Love
As much as we want every day of our lives to be fantastic, there are those times that we wake up feeling less than inspired, a bit groggy and just not pumped about what’s to come. So how do we turn that around? Well for starters…Become aware of how you are feeling! Awareness is the first step in realizing what we do and don’t want in that moment. If we do not feel that great, it’s up to us to change our focus. By shifting our focus to things that do make us happy in that moment, we start to develop a better feeling attitude within ourselves.
Wise people will say, “Start your mornings off in gratitude.” When we shift our focus to what we appreciate in our life, the weather that day, the way our dog makes us feel, a funny text from a friend of ours, we start to focus more on what we do like. When our thoughts shift to more of what we do want and enjoy in life, we attract more of the same thoughts. Now, all of the sudden our bla morning has just changed into something much better.
It’s all about momentum and focus. Once we get that momentum going, we start becoming aware of how great life really is and all the wonderful things that make up our life. It’s all working out just the way it should be so love all parts of it. When we feel that positive energy within, we have the fuel to go out and inspire others!
Enjoy the day and INSPIRE…
For those of us that practice yoga, we might do so for many reasons. It could be about looking better and losing weight. For so many others, it has to do with the peace we develop inside us by practicing this healing exercise that cleanses our physical body as well as our minds. Yoga tests our self-imposed limitations and helps us transform into higher states of being. Just when we think about giving up in a posture that seems “too exhausting”, we find an extra source of strength that carries us through.
Yoga teaches us to be present and to explore the softer side of our character. While it might be rather easy to be calm and collected in our yoga practice, we find too often that fellow yogis do not carry this state of peacefulness outside the studio. We ourselves can be guilty of this as well. When we allow people, places and things to pull at our consciousness, we allow our own powerful energy to drain. Living like this causes us to let our emotions run our life and we react to outside influences, instead of consciously creating what it is we truly want.
Having triggers outside our yoga practice to keep our focus in check and in alignment with who we truly know we can be helps us live a more fulfilling life. It could be a book, a quote or a certain type of music that keeps us in the right frame of mind. When we surround ourselves with positive people and things that help us trigger a positive mindset, our lives can be nothing short of great. One love.
